The initial Applicable Margin shall be at Pricing Level 2. The Applicable Margin shall not be adjusted based upon such ratio, if at all, until the first (1st) Business Day following the delivery by Parent to the Agent of the Compliance Certificate at the end of a calendar quarter. In the event that Parent shall fail to deliver to the Agent a quarterly Compliance Certificate on or before the date required by §7.4(c), then without limiting any other rights of the Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement, the Applicable Margin shall be at Pricing Level 4 until such failure is cured within any applicable cure period, in which event the Applicable Margin shall adjust, if necessary, on the first (1st) Business Day following receipt of such Compliance Certificate.
In the event that the Agent and Parent 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 (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Margin applied for such Applicable Period, then (i) Parent shall as soon as practicable deliver to the Agent the corrected financial statements for such Applicable Period, (ii) the Applicable Margin shall be determined as if the Pricing Level for such higher Applicable Margin were applicable for such Applicable Period, and (iii) the Borrower shall within five (5) 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 time that Agent first receives written notice from Borrower that Borrower and/or Parent has first obtained an Investment Grade Rating and that Borrower elects to use such Investment Grade Rating as the basis for the Applicable Margin, the Applicable Margin shall mean, as of any date of determination, a percentage per annum determined by reference to the Credit Rating Level as set forth below (provided that any accrued interest payable at the Applicable Margin determined by reference to the ratio of Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Consolidated Total Asset Value shall be payable as provided in §2.6):

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 (1st) day of such Interest Period; provided, however that no change in the Applicable Margin resulting from the application of the Credit Rating Levels or a change in the Credit Rating Level shall be effective until three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Agent receives written notice of the application of the Credit Rating Levels or a change in such Credit Rating Level.

§2.    THE CREDIT FACILITY.
§2.1    Revolving Credit Loans.
(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit 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 the lesser of (i) such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and (ii) such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the Unencumbered Asset Availability; 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) and Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not at any time exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment. The Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata in accordance with each Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage. Each request for a Revolving Credit Loan hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that all of the conditions required of Xxxxxxxx xxx xxxxx xx §00 and §11 have been satisfied on the date of such request. The Agent may assume that the conditions in §10 and §11 have been satisfied unless it receives prior written notice from a Revolving Credit Lender that such conditions have not been satisfied. No Revolving Credit Lender shall have any obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans to Borrower or participate in Letter of Credit Liabilities in the maximum aggregate Outstanding amount of more than the lesser of the amount equal to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the principal face amount of its Revolving Credit Note.
(b)    The Revolving Credit Loans shall be evidenced by separate promissory notes of Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit A-1 hereto (collectively, the “Revolving Credit Notes”), dated of even date with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in §18.3) and completed with appropriate insertions. One Revolving Credit Note shall be payable to the order of each Revolving Credit Lender in the principal amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment or, if less, the outstanding amount of all Revolving Credit Loans made by such Revolving Credit Lender, plus interest accrued thereon, as set forth below. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes 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 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 Agent’s Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to each Revolving Credit Lender (absent manifest error), but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on Agent’s Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any Revolving Credit Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any such Revolving Credit Note when due. Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to the Borrower a monthly invoice for interest that has accrued on the Revolving Credit Notes, but the failure of Agent to provide the Borrower any such invoice shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any Revolving Credit Note to make payments of interest on any such Revolving Credit Note when due. By delivery of this Agreement and any Revolving Credit Note, there shall not be deemed to have occurred, and there has not otherwise occurred, any payment, satisfaction or novation of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Original Credit Agreement or the “Revolving Credit Notes” described in the Original Credit Agreement, which Indebtedness is instead allocated among the Revolving Credit Lenders as of the date hereof in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages, and is evidenced by this Agreement and any Revolving Credit Notes, and the Revolving Credit Lenders shall as of the date hereof make such adjustments to the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of such Revolving Credit Lenders so that such outstanding Revolving Credit Loans are consistent with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages.
§2.2    Commitment to Lend Term Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Term Loan Lenders severally agrees to lend to the Borrower on the Closing Date the lesser of (i) such Term Loan Lender’s Term Loan Commitment and (ii) such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment Percentage of the Unencumbered Asset Availability. The Term Loans shall be evidenced by separate promissory notes of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit A-2 hereto, dated of even date with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in §2.11(c) and §18.3) and completed with appropriate insertions (each, a “Term Loan Note” and collectively, the “Term Loan Notes”). One Term Loan Note shall be payable to the order of each Term Loan Lender in the principal amount equal to such Term Loan Lender’s Term Loan Commitment. In addition, any additional Term Loans made as a result of any increase in the Total Term Loan Commitment pursuant to §2.11 shall be made on the applicable Commitment Increase Date and each Term Loan Lender which elects to increase its or acquire a Term Loan Commitment pursuant to §2.11 severally and not jointly agrees to make a Term Loan to the Borrower on such Commitment Increase Date in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) with respect to any existing Term Loan Lender, the amount by which such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment increases on the applicable Commitment Increase Date, and with respect to any new Term Loan Lender, the amount of such new Lender’s Term Loan Commitment, and (b) such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment Percentage of the Unencumbered Asset Availability. No Term Loan Lender shall have any obligation to make Term Loans to the Borrower in the maximum aggregate principal outstanding balance of more than the lesser of (x) the amount equal to its Term Loan Commitment Percentage of the Term Loan Commitments and (y) the principal face amount of its Term Loan Note. By delivery of this Agreement and any Term Loan Note, there shall not be deemed to have occurred, and there has not otherwise occurred, any payment, satisfaction or novation of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Original Credit Agreement or the “Term Loan Notes” described in the Original Credit Agreement, which Indebtedness is instead allocated among the Term Loan Lenders as of the date hereof in accordance with their respective Term Loan Commitment Percentages, and is evidenced by this Agreement and any Term Loan Notes, and the Term Loan Lenders shall as of the date hereof make such adjustments to the outstanding Term Loans of such Term Loan Lenders so that such outstanding Term Loans are consistent with their respective Term Loan Commitment Percentages.
§2.3    Unused Fee; Facility Fee.
(a)    Subject to §2.3(b), the Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders (other than a Defaulting Lender for such period of time as such Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender) in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages a facility unused fee (the “Unused Fee”) calculated by multiplying the Unused Fee Percentage applicable to such day, calculated as a per diem rate, by the excess of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment over the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities. The Unused Fee 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 Revolving Credit Commitments shall be reduced or shall terminate as provided in §2.4, with a final payment on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.
(b)    From and after the date that Agent receives written notice that Borrower and/or Parent 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 Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) calculated at the rate per annum set forth below based upon the applicable Credit Rating Level on the Total Revolving Credit Commitment:

Credit Rating Level
Facility Fee Rate
Credit Rating Xxxxx 0
0.125%
Credit Rating Xxxxx 0
0.15%

The Facility Fee shall be calculated for each day and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first (1st) day of each fiscal quarter for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter or portion thereof, and on any earlier date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be reduced or shall terminate as provided in §2.4, with a final payment on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. The Facility Fee shall be determined by reference to the Credit Rating Level in effect from time to time; provided, however, that no change in the Facility Fee rate resulting from a change in the Credit Rating Level shall be effective until three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Agent receives written notice of a change.
§2.4    Reduction and Termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time upon three (3) 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 Revolving Credit Commitment be reduced in such manner to an amount less than $40,000,000.00, other than in the case of a termination of the facility by the Borrower) or to terminate entirely the unborrowed portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments (provided that such termination would not result in the Revolving Credit Commitment being reduced to an amount less than $40,000,000.00), whereupon the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be reduced pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages of the amount specified in such notice or, as the case may be, terminated, any such termination or reduction to be without penalty except as otherwise set forth in §4.8; provided, however, that no such termination or reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto, the sum of Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and the Letter of Credit Liabilities would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders as so terminated or reduced. Promptly after receiving any notice from the Borrower delivered pursuant to this §2.4, the Agent will notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of the substance thereof. Any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments to an amount less than $50,000,000.00 shall also result in a proportionate reduction (rounded to the next lowest integral multiple of $100,000.00) in the maximum amount of 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 Revolving Credit Lenders the full amount of any facility fee under §2.3 then accrued on the amount of the reduction. No reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments may be reinstated.

Upon receipt from each Revolving Credit Lender or Term Loan Lender, as applicable, of such amount, and upon receipt of the documents required by §10 and §11 and the satisfaction of the other conditions set forth therein, to the extent applicable, the Agent will make available to the Borrower the aggregate amount of such Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans made available to the Agent by the Revolving Credit Lenders or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, by crediting such amount to the account of the Borrower maintained at the Agent’s Head Office. The failure or refusal of any Revolving Credit Lender or Term Loan Lender to make available to the Agent at the aforesaid time and place on any Drawdown Date the amount of its Commitment Percentage of the requested Loans shall not relieve any other Revolving Credit Lender or Term Loan Lender from its several obligation hereunder to make available to the Agent the amount of such other Lender’s Commitment Percentage of any requested Loans, including any additional 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. In the event of any such failure or refusal, the Lenders not so failing or refusing shall be entitled to a priority secured position as against the Lender or Lenders so failing or refusing to make available to the Borrower the amount of its or their Commitment Percentage for such Loans as provided in §12.5.
(b)    Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the applicable Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loans or on the Closing Date or any Increase Date with respect to any Term Loans, that such Lender will not make available to Agent such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of a proposed Loan, Agent may in its discretion assume that such Lender has made such Loan available to 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 and the Letters of Credit solely to (a) pay closing costs in connection with this Agreement; (b) to finance Borrower’s direct and indirect investments in Real Estate and Mortgage Receivables; and (c) for general 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 ninety (90) days prior to the Revolving Credit 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 D 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 $25,000,000.00 (subject to reduction as provided in §2.4), (iii) in no event shall the sum of (A) the Revolving Credit Loans Outstanding and (B) the amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities (after giving effect to all Letters of Credit requested) exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, (iv) the conditions set forth in §§10 and 11 shall have been satisfied, (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, and (vi) in no event shall the sum of (X) the Outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and the Term Loans and (Y) the amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities (after giving effect to all Letters of Credit requested) exceed the lesser of the Total Commitment or the Unencumbered Asset Availability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this §2.10, the Issuing Lender shall not be obligated to issue, amend, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit at a time when any other Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless the Issuing Lender is satisfied that the participation therein will otherwise be fully allocated to the Revolving Credit Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders consistent with §2.13(c) and the Defaulting Lender shall have no participation therein, except to the extent the Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender which are satisfactory to the Issuing Lender in its good faith determination to eliminate the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to any such Defaulting Lender, including the delivery of cash collateral. The Issuing Lender may assume that the conditions in §10 and §11 have been satisfied unless it receives written notice from a Revolving Credit Lender that such conditions have not been satisfied. Each Letter of Credit Request shall be executed by an Authorized Officer of Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Person’s authority to request a Letter of Credit on behalf of Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall have no duty to verify the authenticity of any signature appearing on a Letter of Credit Request. The Borrower assumes all risks with respect to the use of the Letters of Credit. Unless the Issuing Lender and the Required Revolving Credit Lenders otherwise consent, the term of any Letter of Credit shall not exceed a period of time commencing on the issuance of the Letter of Credit and ending on the date which is thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, or to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date to the extent any such Letter of Credit has been cash collateralized in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the Issuing Lender (but in any event the term shall not extend beyond the Revolving Credit Maturity Date). The amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit shall reduce on a dollar-for-dollar basis the amount available to be drawn under the Total Revolving Credit Commitment as a Revolving Credit Loan.
(b)    Each Letter of Credit Request shall be submitted to the Issuing Lender at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as the Issuing Lender may approve) prior to the date upon which the requested Letter of Credit is to be issued. Each such Letter of Credit Request shall contain (i) a statement as to the purpose for which such Letter of Credit shall be used (which purpose shall be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), and (ii) a certification by the chief financial officer or controller of Parent that the Borrower, Guarantors and Unencumbered Property Subsidiaries 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 H hereto) and documents as the Issuing Lender may reasonably 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 Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have purchased a participation therein from Issuing Lender in an amount equal to its respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit. No Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to participate in a Letter of Credit shall be affected by any other Revolving Credit Lender’s failure to perform as required herein with respect to such Letter of Credit or any other Letter of Credit.
(e)    Upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender (i) for its own account, a Letter of Credit fee calculated at the rate of one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum of the amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (which fee shall not be less than $1,500 in any event), and (ii) for the accounts of the Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loans on the amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Such fees shall be payable in quarterly installments in arrears with respect to each Letter of Credit on the first day of each calendar quarter following the date of issuance and continuing on each quarter or portion thereof thereafter, as applicable, or on any earlier date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate and on the expiration or return of any Letter of Credit. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to Issuing Lender for its own account within five (5) days of demand of Issuing Lender the standard issuance and documentation charges for Letters of Credit issued from time to time by 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 Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan under this Agreement (Borrower being deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan on such date in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and such amount drawn shall be treated as an outstanding Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan under this Agreement) and the Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender by telecopy, email, telephone (confirmed in writing) or other similar means of transmission, and each Revolving Credit Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Agent, for the Issuing Lender’s own account, an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Letter of Credit (to the extent of the amount drawn). If and to the extent any Revolving Credit Lender shall not make such amount available on the Business Day on which such draw is funded, such Revolving Credit Lender agrees to pay such amount to the Agent forthwith on demand, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date on which such draw was funded until the date on which such amount is paid to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate until three (3) days after the date on which the Agent gives notice of such draw and at the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus one percent (1.0%) for each day thereafter. Further, such Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Revolving Credit Loans, amounts due with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit and any other amounts due to it hereunder to the Agent to fund the amount of any drawn Letter of Credit which such Revolving Credit Lender was required to fund pursuant to this §2.10(f) until such amount has been funded (as a result of such assignment or otherwise). In the event of any such failure or refusal, the Revolving Credit Lenders not so failing or refusing shall be entitled to a priority secured position for such amounts as provided in §12.5. The failure of any Revolving Credit Lender to make funds available to the Agent in such amount shall not relieve any other Revolving Credit Lender of its obligation hereunder to make funds available to the Agent pursuant to this §2.10(f).
(g)    If after the issuance of a Letter of Credit pursuant to §2.10(c) by the Issuing Lender, but prior to the funding of any portion thereof by a Revolving Credit Lender, for any reason a drawing under a Letter of Credit cannot be refinanced as a Revolving Credit Loan, each Revolving Credit Lender will, on the date such Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.10(f) was to have been made, purchase an undivided participation interest in the Letter of Credit in an amount equal to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit. Each Revolving Credit Lender will immediately transfer to the Issuing Lender in immediately available funds the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Issuing Lender will deliver to such Revolving Credit Lender a Letter of Credit participation certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount.
(h)    Whenever at any time after the Issuing Lender has received from any Revolving Credit Lender any such Revolving Credit Lender’s payment of funds under a Letter of Credit and thereafter the Issuing Lender receives any payment on account thereof, then the Issuing Lender will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its participation interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted in the case of interest payments to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Credit Lender’s participation interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Issuing Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Credit Lender will return to the Issuing Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it.
(i)    The issuance of any supplement, modification, amendment, renewal or extension to or of any Letter of Credit shall be treated in all respects the same as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit.
(j)    Borrower (rather than Issuing Lender) assumes all risks of the acts, omissions, or misuse of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee or any other Person at law or under any other agreement. Neither Agent, Issuing Lender nor any Revolving Credit Lender will be responsible for (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Letter of Credit or any document submitted by any party in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if such document should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with the conditions required in order to demand payment under a Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telecopy, email or otherwise; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document or draft required by or from a beneficiary in order to make a disbursement under a Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; (vii) 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 Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender. None of the foregoing will affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the rights or powers granted to Agent, Issuing Lender or the Revolving Credit 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 Agent, Issuing Lender or the other Revolving Credit Lenders in good faith will be binding on Borrower and will not put Agent, Issuing Lender or the other Revolving Credit Lenders under any resulting liability to Borrower; provided nothing contained herein shall relieve Issuing Lender for liability to Borrower arising as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Lender 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 date that is forty-five (45) days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (as the same may be extended pursuant to §2.12 below) or Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable, to request an increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and/or the Total Term Loan Credit Commitment such that after giving effect to such increase the Total Commitment does not exceed $260,000,000.00 in the aggregate by giving written notice to the Agent (each, an “Increase Notice”; and the amount of such requested increase is the “Commitment Increase”), provided that any such individual increase must be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000.00. Upon receipt of any Increase Notice, the Agent shall consult with Arranger and shall notify the Borrower of the amount of facility fees to be paid to any Lenders who provide an additional Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, in connection with such increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable (which shall be in addition to the fees to be paid to Arranger pursuant to the Agreement Regarding Fees). If the Borrower agrees to pay the facility fees so determined, then the Agent shall send a notice to all Revolving Credit Lenders and/or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable (the “Additional Commitment Request Notice”) informing them of the Borrower’s request to increase the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or the Total Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, and of the facility fees to be paid with respect thereto. Each Revolving Credit Lender or Term Loan Lender, as applicable, who desires to provide an additional Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, upon such terms shall provide Agent with a written commitment letter specifying the amount of the additional Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, by which it is willing to provide prior to such deadline as may be specified in the Additional Commitment Request Notice. If the requested increase is oversubscribed then the Agent and the Arranger shall allocate the Commitment Increase among the Revolving Credit Lenders or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, who provide such commitment letters on such basis as the Agent and the Arranger shall determine in their sole discretion. If the additional Revolving Credit Commitments or Term Loan Commitments, as applicable, so provided are not sufficient to provide the full amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase or Term Loan Commitment Increase, as applicable, requested by the Borrower, then the Agent, Arranger or Borrower may, but shall not be obligated to, invite one or more banks or lending institutions (which banks or lending institutions shall be reasonably acceptable to Agent, Arranger and Borrower) to become a Revolving Credit Lender or Term Loan Lender, as applicable, and provide an additional Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable. The Agent shall provide all Revolving Credit Lenders or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, with a notice setting forth the amount, if any, of the additional Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, to be provided by each Revolving Credit Lender or Term Loan Lender, as applicable, and the revised Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages or Term Loan Commitment Percentages, as applicable, which shall be applicable after the effective date of the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase or Term Loan Commitment Increase, as applicable, specified therein (the “Commitment Increase Date”). In no event shall any Lender be obligated to provide an additional Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Loan Commitment.
(b)    On any Commitment Increase Date the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, shall be reallocated among the Revolving Credit Lenders or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, such that after the applicable Commitment Increase Date the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, owed to each Revolving Credit Lender or Term Loan Lender, as applicable, shall be equal to such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage or Term Loan Commitment Percentage, as applicable (as in effect after the applicable Commitment Increase Date) of the outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans, as applicable. The participation interests of the Revolving Credit Lenders in Letters of Credit shall be similarly adjusted. On any Commitment Increase Date, those Revolving Credit Lenders or Term Loan Lenders whose Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage or Term Loan Commitment Percentage is increasing shall advance the funds to the Agent and the funds so advanced shall be distributed among the Revolving Credit Lenders or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, whose Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage or Term Loan Commitment Percentage, as applicable, is decreasing as necessary to accomplish the required reallocation of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans, as applicable. 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. To the extent such reallocation results in certain Lenders receiving funds which are applied to LIBOR Rate Loans prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period, then the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the affected Lenders the Breakage Costs for each such Lender (provided that the parties agree to attempt to coordinate the closing of any increase of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or Total Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, to minimize Breakage Costs that may come due); provided, however, each Lender agrees to apply any amounts received by them pursuant to this §2.11(b) first to the principal of any Base Rate Loans held by such Lender and then to the principal of LIBOR Rate Loans held by such Lender.
(c)    Upon the effective date of each increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or Total Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, pursuant to this §2.11 the Agent may unilaterally revise Schedule 1 hereto and the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Agent new Revolving Credit Notes or Term Loan Notes for each Lender whose Commitment has changed so that the principal amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Note shall equal its Revolving Credit Commitment and such Term Loan Lender’s Term Loan Note shall equal its Term Loan Commitment. The Agent shall deliver such replacement Revolving Credit Notes and Term Loan Notes to the respective Lenders in exchange for the Revolving Credit Notes and Term Loan Notes replaced thereby which shall be surrendered by such Lenders. Such new Revolving Credit Notes and Term Loan Notes shall provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Revolving Credit Notes and Term Loan Notes, as applicable, and that they do not constitute a novation, shall be dated as of the Commitment Increase Date and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the replaced Revolving Credit Notes or Term Loan Notes, as applicable. Within five (5) days of issuance of any new Revolving Credit Notes or Term Loan Notes, pursuant to this §2.11(c), the Borrower shall deliver an opinion of counsel, addressed to the Lenders and the Agent, relating to the due authorization, execution and delivery of such new Revolving Credit Notes and Term Loan 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 and Term Loan Notes shall be canceled and returned to the Borrower.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the obligation of the Agent and the Revolving Credit Lenders to increase the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, or the Agent and the Term Loan Lenders to increase the Total Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, pursuant to this §2.11 shall be conditioned upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent which must be satisfied prior to the effectiveness of any increase of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or the Total Term Loan Commitment, as applicable:
(i)    Payment of Activation Fee. The Borrower shall pay (A) to the Agent and the Arranger those fees described in and contemplated by the Agreement Regarding Fees with respect to the applicable Commitment Increase, and (B) to the Arranger such facility fees as the Revolving Credit Lenders or Term Loan Lenders who are providing an additional Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, may require to increase the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Loan Commitment, which fees shall, when paid, be fully earned and non-refundable under any circumstances. The Arranger shall pay to the Lenders acquiring the applicable Commitment Increase certain fees pursuant to their separate agreement; and
(ii)    No Default. On the date any Increase Notice is given and on the date such increase becomes effective, both immediately before and after the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Loan Commitment is increased, there shall exist no Default or Event of Default; and
(iii)    Representations True. The representations and warranties made by the Borrower and the Guarantors in the Loan Documents or otherwise made by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Guarantors and the Unencumbered Property Subsidiaries in connection therewith or after the date thereof shall have been true and correct in all material respects when made and shall also be true and correct in all material respects on the date of such Increase Notice and on the date the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Loan Commitment is increased (except to the extent of any changes resulting from transactions permitted by this Agreement, and except to the extent such representations relate expressly to an earlier date, which representations shall be required to be true and correct only as of such specified date), both immediately before and after the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Loan Commitment is increased; and
(iv)    Additional Documents and Expenses. The Borrower and the Guarantors shall execute and deliver to Agent and the Lenders such additional documents, instruments, certifications and opinions as the Agent may reasonably require, including, without limitation, a Compliance Certificate, demonstrating compliance with all covenants, representations and warranties set forth in the Loan Documents after giving effect to the increase.
§2.12    Extension of Revolving Credit Maturity Date. The Borrower shall have the one-time right and option, in its sole discretion, to extend the Revolving Credit Maturity Date to October 27, 2022, upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent, which must be satisfied prior to the effectiveness of any extension of the Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments an extension fee in an amount equal to twenty (20) basis points on the Total Revolving Credit Commitment in effect on the Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit Maturity Date (as determined without regard to 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, Guarantors and Unencumbered Property Subsidiaries in connection therewith or after the date thereof shall have been true and correct in all material respects when made and shall also be true and correct in all material respects on the date the Extension Request is given and on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (as determined without regard to such extension) other than for representations to the extent they relate expressly to an earlier date, which representations shall be required to be true and correct only as of such specified date, and except to the extent of any changes resulting from transactions permitted by this Agreement.
§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 Required Lenders, Required Revolving Credit Lenders, Required Term Loan Lenders or all of the Lenders, shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal. If a Lender is a Defaulting Lender because it has failed to make timely payment to the Agent of any amount required to be paid to the Agent hereunder (without giving effect to any notice or cure periods), in addition to other rights and remedies which the Agent or the Borrower may have under the immediately preceding provisions or otherwise, the Agent shall be entitled (i) to collect interest from such Defaulting Lender on such delinquent payment for the period from the date on which the payment was due until the date on which the payment is made at the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus one percent (1%), (ii) to withhold or setoff and to apply in satisfaction of the defaulted payment and any related interest, any amounts otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (iii) to bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest. Any amounts received by the Agent in respect of a Defaulting Lender’s Loans shall be applied as set forth in §2.13(d).
(b)    Any Non-Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated, in its sole discretion, to acquire all or a portion of a Defaulting Lender’s Commitments. Any Lender desiring to exercise such right shall give written notice thereof to the Agent and the Borrower no sooner than two (2) Business Days and not later than five (5) Business Days after such Defaulting Lender became a Defaulting Lender. If more than one Lender exercises such right, each such Lender shall have the right to acquire an amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitments in proportion to the Commitments of the other Lenders exercising such right. If after such fifth (5th) 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 and upon any such demand such Defaulting Lender shall comply with such demand and shall consummate such assignment (subject to and in accordance with the provisions of §18.1). 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, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to §2.10(g) shall be reallocated among the Revolving Credit Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (computed without giving effect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender); provided that (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Revolving Credit Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists, (ii) the conditions set forth in §10 and §11 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 the 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 (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 that any representation or warranty that is qualified by any materiality standard shall be required to be true and correct in all respects), and (iv) the aggregate obligation of each Revolving Credit Lender that is a Non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (A) the Revolving Credit Commitment of that Non-Defaulting Lender minus (B) the sum of (1) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of that Revolving Credit Lender plus (2) such Revolving Credit Lender’s pro rata portion in accordance with its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities. Subject to §34, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(d)    Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to §13), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent (other than with respect to Letter of Credit Liabilities) hereunder; second, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender (with respect to Letter of Credit Liabilities); third, if so determined by the Agent or requested by the Issuing Lender, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit; 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; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Agent or the Lenders (including the Issuing Lender) as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Agent or any Lender (including the Issuing 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 Loans or funded participations in Letters of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (ii) such Loans or funded participations in Letters of Credit were made at a time when the conditions set forth in §10 and §11, to the extent required by this Agreement, were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and funded participations in Letters of Credit owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages and Term Loan Commitment Percentages, as applicable, without regard to §2.13(c), prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or funded participations in Letters of Credit 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 §2.10(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 Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages of outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities. Moneys in the Collateral Account deposited pursuant to this section shall be applied by the Agent to reimburse the Issuing Lender immediately for each Defaulting Lender’s pro rata portion in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages of any funding obligation with respect to a Letter of Credit which has not otherwise been reimbursed by the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender.
(f)    (1)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender.
(i)    Each Revolving Credit Lender that is a Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive Letter of Credit fees pursuant to §2.10(e) for any period during which that Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender.
(ii)    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 Revolving Credit Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to §2.13(c), (y) pay to the Issuing Lender the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the Issuing 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 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 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 Revolving Credit Maturity Date and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date all of the Revolving Credit Loans and other Letter of Credit Liabilities outstanding on such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The Borrower promises to pay on the Term Loan Maturity Date and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date all of the Term Loans Outstanding on such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
§3.2    Mandatory Prepayments. If at any time (i) the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and the Letter of Credit Liabilities exceeds the lesser of (a) the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or (b) the Unencumbered Asset Availability, minus the principal amount of the outstanding Term Loans, or (ii) the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, the Term Loans and the Letter of Credit Liabilities exceeds the lesser of (a) the Total Commitment or (b) the Unencumbered Asset Availability, then the Borrower shall, within ten (10) Business Days of such occurrence (or such longer period of time as Agent may agree in its sole and absolute discretion), pay the amount of such excess to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Lenders, as applicable, for application to the Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans as provided in §3.4, together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to §4.8.
§3.3    Optional Prepayments.
(a)    The Borrower shall have the right, at its election, to prepay the outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, as a whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium, and in the case of prepayment in full, at Borrower’s election, to terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, that if any prepayment of the outstanding amount of any Revolving Credit 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 §4.8.
(b)    The Borrower shall have the right, at its election, to prepay the outstanding amount of the Term 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 Term 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 §4.8.
(c)    The Borrower shall give the Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Standard Time) at least two (2) days prior written notice of any prepayment pursuant to this §3.3, in each case specifying the proposed date of prepayment of the Loans and the principal amount to be prepaid (provided that any such notice may be revoked or modified upon one (1) day’s prior notice to the Agent).
§3.4    Partial Prepayments. Each partial prepayment of the Loans under §3.3 shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 in excess thereof, shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest on the principal prepaid to the date of payment. Each partial payment under §3.2 and §3.3 shall be applied in the absence of instruction by the Borrower, to the principal of Revolving Credit Loans and then to the principal of Term Loans (and with respect to each category of Loans, first to the principal of Base Rate Loans, and then to the principal of LIBOR Rate Loans).
§3.5    Effect of Prepayments. Amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans prepaid under §3.2 and §3.3 prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date may be reborrowed as provided in §2. Any portion of the Term Loans that is prepaid may not be reborrowed.
§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 or any of its outstanding Term Loans to another Term Loan of another Type and such Revolving Credit Loans or Term 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 only be made on the last day of the Interest Period with respect to such LIBOR Rate Loan, unless Borrower elects to pay the Breakage Costs association with such conversion; (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 two (2) 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 $500,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 in excess thereof and, after giving effect to the making of such Loan, there shall be no more than seven (7) 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 or Term Loans of any Type may be converted as provided herein, provided that no partial conversion shall result in a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan or a Term Base Rate Loan in a principal amount of less than $500,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 or a Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loan or a Term LIBOR Rate Loan in a principal amount of less than $500,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00. 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)    In the event that the Borrower does not notify the Agent of its election hereunder with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan, such Loan shall be automatically continued as a LIBOR Rate Loan for the same Interest Period (unless such Interest Period shall be greater than the time remaining until the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable, in which case the Interest Period shall be the Interest Period closest to the time remaining, without exceeding the time to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable) at the end of the applicable Interest Period.
§4.2    Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to KeyBank, Agent and Arranger for their own account certain fees for services rendered or to be rendered in connection with the Loans as provided pursuant to the separate fee letter dated September 29, 2017, between the Borrower, KeyBank and the Arranger (the “Agreement Regarding Fees”). All such fees shall be fully earned when paid and nonrefundable under any circumstances.
§4.3    Rates. The Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “LIBOR” or with respect to any comparable or successor rate thereto, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any liability arising out of the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Agent.
§4.4    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 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on the day when due, in each case in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds. If not received by 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on the day when due, the Agent is hereby authorized to charge the accounts of the Borrower with KeyBank, on the dates when the amount thereof shall become due and payable, with the amounts of the principal of and interest on the Loans and all fees, charges, expenses and other amounts owing to the Agent and/or the Lenders under the Loan Documents. Subject to the foregoing, all payments made to Agent on behalf of the Lenders, and actually received by Agent, shall be deemed received by the Lenders on the date actually received by Agent.
(b)    All payments by the Borrower hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim, and free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower or other applicable Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this §4.4) 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 fifteen (15) days after demand therefor (or within sixty (60) days of demand if the amount demanded by a Recipient is in excess of $100,000), for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this §4.4) 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, and a reasonably detailed explanation of such amounts which are due, shall be conclusive absent manifest error;
(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 §4.4(e).
(f)    Upon the request of Agent or any Lender, as soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or any Guarantor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this §4.4, the Borrower or such Guarantor shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment, or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.
(g)    
(i)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in the immediately following clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person:
A.    any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), 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 or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
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 W-8BEN-E; 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 or W-8BEN-E, 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.
(h)     If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this §4.4 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this §4.4), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this §4.4 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund has not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it reasonably deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(i)    Each party’s obligations under this §4.4 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
(j)    The obligations of the Borrower to the Revolving Credit Lenders under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit (and of the Revolving Credit Lenders to make payments to the Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit) 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 Revolving Credit Lenders (other than the defense of payment to the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or any other Person, whether in connection with any Letter of Credit, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any unrelated transaction; (iv) any draft, demand, certificate, statement or any other documents presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be insufficient, forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (v) any breach of any agreement between the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective 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 bad faith, 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) the failure of any payment by Issuing Lender to conform to the terms of a Letter of Credit (if, in Issuing Lender’s good faith judgment, such payment is determined to be appropriate); (xi) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; (xii) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; and (xiii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, provided that such other circumstances or happenings shall not have been the result of bad faith, 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.
§4.5    Computations. All computations of interest on the Loans and of other fees to the extent applicable shall be based on a 360‑day year (or a 365 or 366 day year, as applicable, in the case of Base Rate Loans) 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 as reflected on the records of the Agent from time to time shall be considered prima facie evidence of such amount absent manifest error.
§4.6    Suspension of LIBOR Rate Loans. In the event that, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period relating to any LIBOR Rate Loan, the Agent shall in its good faith discretion determine that adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period, or the Agent shall reasonably determine that LIBOR will not accurately 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 (a) 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 (b) 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 promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof.
§4.7    Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any present or future law, regulation, treaty or directive or the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over a Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office shall assert that it is 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. 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 Borrower hereunder.
§4.8    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, or if repayment of the Loans has been accelerated as provided in §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 upon demand for the account of the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages, in addition to any amounts of interest otherwise payable hereunder, the Breakage Costs. Borrower understands, agrees and acknowledges the following: (i) 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; (ii) LIBOR is used merely as a reference in determining such rate; and (iii) Borrower has accepted LIBOR as a reasonable and fair basis for calculating such rate and any Breakage Costs. Borrower further agrees to pay the Breakage Costs, if any, whether or not a Lender elects to purchase, sell and/or match funds.
§4.9    Additional Costs, Etc. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Change in Law shall:
(a)    subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or
(b)    impose, modify or deem applicable any special deposit, reserve (other than the Reserve Percentage), compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or the Issuing Lender, or
(c)    impose on any Lender or the 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; and the result of any of the foregoing is:
(i)    to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Lender or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or
(ii)    to reduce the amount of principal, interest or other amount payable to any Lender, the Issuing Lender or other Recipient hereunder on account of such Lender’s Commitment or any of the Loans or the Letters of Credit, or
(iii)    to require any Lender or such other Recipient to make any payment or to forego any interest or other sum payable hereunder, the amount of which payment or foregone interest or other sum is calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum receivable or deemed received by such Lender or such other Recipient from the Borrower hereunder,
then, and in each such case, the Borrower will, within fifteen (15) days of demand (or within sixty (60) days of demand if the amount demanded by a Recipient is in excess of $100,000.00) made by a Recipient at any time and from time to time and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay to such Recipient such additional amounts as such Recipient shall reasonably determine in good faith to be sufficient to compensate such Recipient for such additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest or other sum. Each Recipient in determining such amounts may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods generally applied by such Recipient.
§4.10    Capital Adequacy. If any Lender or Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuing Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity’s capital) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered as and when such reduction is determined, upon presentation by such Lender of a statement of the amount setting forth the Lender’s reasonable calculation thereof. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods generally applied by such Lender.
§4.11    Breakage Costs. 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 Agent, or such earlier date as may be required by this Agreement.
§4.12    Default Interest. 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 four percent (4%) above the Base Rate (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 four percent (4%) 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.
§4.13    Certificate. A certificate setting forth any amounts payable pursuant to §4.8, §4.9, §4.10, §4.11 or §4.12 and a reasonably detailed explanation of such amounts which are due, submitted by any Recipient to the Borrower, shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, the Borrower shall pay such Recipient, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof (or sixty (60) days after receipt thereof if the amount shown as due in such certificate is in excess of $100,000.00).
§4.14    Limitation on Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, all agreements between or among the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lenders and the Agent, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of any of the Obligations or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received by the Lenders exceed the maximum amount permissible under Applicable Law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to the Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to the Lenders shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under Applicable Law; and if from any circumstance the Lenders shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by Applicable Law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Obligations and to the payment of interest or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Obligations, such excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal of the Obligations (including the period of any renewal or extension thereof) so that the interest thereon for such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law. This Section shall control all agreements between or among the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lenders and the Agent.
§4.15    Certain Provisions Relating to Increased Costs. If a Lender gives notice of the existence of the circumstances set forth in §4.7 or any Lender requests compensation for any losses or costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any one or more of the provisions of §4.4, §4.9 or §4.10, then, upon request of Borrower, such Lender, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to eliminate, mitigate or reduce amounts that would otherwise be payable by Borrower under the foregoing provisions, provided that such action would not be otherwise prejudicial to such Lender, including, without limitation, by designating another of such Lender’s offices, branches or affiliates; the Borrower agreeing to pay all reasonably incurred costs and expenses incurred by such Lender in connection with any such action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and if any Lender has given notice of the existence of the circumstances set forth in §4.7 or has requested payment or compensation for any losses or costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any one or more of the provisions of §4.4, §4.9 or §4.10 (each, an “Affected Lender”), then, within thirty (30) days after such notice or request for payment or compensation, Borrower shall have the right as to such Affected Lender, to be exercised by delivery of written notice delivered to the Agent and the Affected Lender within such thirty (30) day period, to elect to cause the Affected Lender to transfer its Commitment. The Agent shall promptly notify the remaining Lenders that each of such Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire a portion of the 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). 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 reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest. The purchase price for the Affected Lender’s Commitment shall equal any and all amounts outstanding and owed by Borrower to the Affected Lender, including principal and all accrued and unpaid interest or fees.
§4.16    Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
§5.    UNSECURED OBLIGATIONS.
§5.1    Unsecured Obligations. The Lenders have agreed to make the Loans to the Borrower and the Issuing Lender has agreed to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower on an unsecured basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Obligations shall be guaranteed pursuant to the terms of the Guaranty.
§5.2    Additional Subsidiary Guarantors. In the event that the Borrower shall request that certain Real Estate of a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower be included as a Subject Property, the Borrower shall as a condition thereto, in addition to the requirements of §7.16, cause each such Wholly Owned Subsidiary, and each other Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower which owns, directly or indirectly, Equity Interests in such Wholly Owned Subsidiary (other than an entity which serves only as the general partner of such Wholly Owned Subsidiary and owns no more than one percent (1%) of the Equity Interests thereof), to execute and deliver to Agent a Joinder Agreement, and such Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. In addition, in the event any Subsidiary of Parent shall constitute a Material Subsidiary, Borrower and Parent shall cause such Subsidiary, as a condition to such Subsidiary’s becoming an obligor or guarantor with respect to such other Recourse Indebtedness described therein, cause each such Subsidiary to execute and deliver to Agent a Joinder Agreement, and such Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. Each such Subsidiary shall not be restricted by its respective organizational documents and Applicable Law, from serving as a Guarantor hereunder. 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 or other entity. In connection with the delivery of such Joinder Agreement, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent such organizational agreements, resolutions, consents, opinions and other documents and instruments as the Agent may reasonably require.
§5.3    Release of a Subsidiary Guarantor.
(a)    The Borrower may request in writing that the Agent release, and upon receipt of such request the Agent shall release (subject to the terms hereof), a Subsidiary Guarantor from the Guaranty so long as: (a) no Default or Event of Default shall then be in existence or would occur as a result of such release or the removal of Real Estate referred to in clause (c) below; (b) the Agent shall have received such written request at least five (5) Business Days prior to the requested date of release; and (c) any Real Estate owned or leased by such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be removed from the Subject Properties in accordance with §7.16 effective as of the date of such release. Delivery by the Borrower to the Agent of any such request for a release shall constitute a representation by the Borrower that the matters set forth in the preceding sentence (both as of the date of the giving of such request and as of the date of the effectiveness of such request) are true and correct with respect to such request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the foregoing provisions shall not apply to Parent, which may only be released upon the written approval of Agent and all of the Lenders.
(b)    Notwithstanding the terms of §5.2 and §5.3(a), from and after any date that Agent first receives written notice from Borrower that Borrower and/or Parent has first obtained an Investment Grade Rating, then subject to the terms of this §5.3(b), each Subsidiary Guarantor which is not a Material Subsidiary shall no longer be required to be a Guarantor, and Agent shall promptly release each such Subsidiary Guarantor (other than any Subsidiary Guarantor which are a Material Subsidiary) from the Guaranty; provided, however that notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent shall not be obligated to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from the Guaranty in the event that a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. In the event that at any time after Borrower and/or Parent obtains an Investment Grade Rating, Borrower and Parent shall no longer have an Investment Grade Rating, Borrower and Parent shall within thirty (30) days after such occurrence cause all such Persons which are required to be a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to §5.2 (without regard to this §5.3(b)) but are not then Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder to execute a Joinder Agreement and shall further cause to be satisfied within such thirty (30) day period all of the provisions of §5.2 that would be applicable to the addition of a new Subsidiary Guarantor. In no event shall the provisions of this §5.3(b) entitle Parent to be released from the Guaranty. For the avoidance of doubt, regardless of whether Borrower and/or Parent has an Investment Grade Rating, Borrower and Parent shall be required to cause any Subsidiary of Parent and/or Borrower which at any time constitutes a Material Subsidiary to become a Subsidiary Guarantor by executing a Joinder Agreement and shall comply with the provisions of §5.2 as a condition to such Material Subsidiary becoming an obligor or guarantor of such other Recourse Indebtedness.

§6.25    Other Debt. As of the date of this Agreement, neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor is in default, nor is any of their respective Subsidiaries (other than the Borrower, a Subsidiary Guarantor or an Unencumbered Property Subsidiary) in default beyond any applicable cure and/or grace period, of the payment of any Indebtedness or the performance of any related agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement, financing agreement, indenture or lease to which any of them is a party. Neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor is a party to or bound by any agreement, instrument or indenture that may require the subordination in right or time or payment of any of the Obligations to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor. Schedule 6.25 hereto sets forth all mortgages, deeds of trust, financing agreements or other material agreements binding upon the Borrower and each Guarantor or their respective properties and entered into by the Borrower and/or such Guarantor as of the date of this Agreement with respect to any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Guarantor in an amount greater than $2,000,000.00, and the Borrower shall, upon request of the Agent, provide the Agent with true, correct and complete copies thereof.

§6.29    Transaction in Best Interests of Borrower; Consideration. The transaction evidenced by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents is in the best interests of the Borrower and each Guarantor. The direct and indirect benefits to inure to the Borrower and the Guarantors pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute substantially more than “reasonably equivalent value” (as such term is used in §548 of the Bankruptcy Code) and “valuable consideration,” “fair value,” and “fair consideration” (as such terms are used in any applicable state fraudulent conveyance law), in exchange for the benefits to be provided by the Borrower and the Guarantors pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and but for the willingness of each Guarantor to guaranty the Loan, the Borrower would be unable to obtain the financing contemplated hereunder which financing will enable the Borrower, each Guarantor and their respective Subsidiaries to have available financing to conduct and expand their business.
§6.30    Contribution Agreement. The Borrower and the Guarantors have executed and delivered the Contribution Agreement, and the Contribution Agreement constitutes the valid and legally binding obligations of such parties enforceable against them in accordance with the terms and provisions thereof, except as enforceability is limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights and except to the extent that availability of the remedy of specific performance or injunctive relief is subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.

In addition, the Borrower hereby agrees to provide to the Lenders any additional information that a Lender deems reasonably necessary from time to time in order to ensure compliance with all applicable Laws (including, without limitation, any Sanctions Laws and Regulations) concerning money laundering and similar activities. Neither Borrower, any Guarantor, nor any Unencumbered Property Subsidiary, nor any Subsidiary, director (other than any independent or outside directors) or officer of Borrower, any Guarantor or any Unencumbered Property Subsidiary or, to the knowledge of Borrower or Parent, any outside or independent director, Affiliate, agent or employee of Borrower or any Guarantor, has engaged in any activity or conduct which would violate any applicable anti-bribery, anti-corruption or anti-money laundering laws or regulations in any applicable jurisdiction, including without limitation, any Sanctions Laws and Regulations.

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 Subject Properties or the other Real Estate (where, as to any Real Estate other than the Subject Properties, the failure to pay or discharge any such taxes, assessments or other charges could be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect), 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 property of Borrower, the Guarantors or their respective Subsidiaries, 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 by Borrower, the Guarantors, their respective Subsidiaries or a tenant which shall suspend the collection thereof with respect to such property, and neither such property nor any portion thereof or interest therein would be in any danger of sale, forfeiture or loss by reason of such proceeding; and provided, further, that forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings to foreclose any lien that may have attached as security therefor, the Borrower, any such Guarantor, any such Subsidiary or a tenant either (i) will provide a bond issued by a surety reasonably acceptable to the Agent or other collateral satisfactory to Agent and sufficient to stay all such proceedings or (ii) if no such bond or other collateral is provided, will pay each such tax, assessment, charge or levy.
§7.9    Inspection of Properties and Books. The Borrower and the Guarantors will, and will cause their respective Subsidiaries to, permit the Agent and the Lenders, at the Borrower’s expense and 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 and with the understanding that any visit to or inspection of any Real Estate that is not a Subject Property shall be undertaken for purposes of evaluating such Real Estate as it pertains to the Parent’s or the Borrower’s direct or indirect equity interest therein), to examine the books of account of the Borrower, each Guarantor and their respective Subsidiaries (and to make copies thereof and extracts therefrom) and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Borrower, any Guarantor and their respective Subsidiaries with, and to be advised as to the same by, their respective officers, all at such reasonable times and intervals as the Agent or any Lender may reasonably request, provided that so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall not be required to pay for such visits and inspections more often than once in any twelve (12) month period. In the event that the Agent or a Lender shall visit and inspect a property of a Subsidiary of Borrower which is not a Guarantor or an Unencumbered Property Subsidiary, such visit and inspection shall be made with a representative of Borrower (and Borrower agrees to use reasonable efforts to make such representative available). The Lenders shall use good faith efforts to coordinate such visits and inspections so as to minimize the interference with and disruption to the normal business operations of the Borrower, the Guarantors, their respective Subsidiaries and any tenants.
§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 respects with (i) all Applicable Laws now or hereafter in effect wherever its business is conducted, including all Environmental Laws, (ii) 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, (iii) all agreements and instruments to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties may be bound, (iv) all applicable decrees, orders, and judgments, and (v) all licenses and permits required by Applicable Laws for the conduct of its business or the ownership, use or operation of its properties, except where a failure to so comply with any of clauses (i) through (v) could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower shall develop and implement such programs, policies and procedures as are necessary to comply with the Patriot Act and shall promptly advise Agent in writing in the event that Borrower shall determine that any investors in Borrower are in violation of such act.
§7.11    Further Assurances. The Borrower and each Guarantor will cooperate with the Agent and the Lenders and execute such further instruments and documents as the Lenders or the Agent shall reasonably request to carry out to their satisfaction the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
§7.12    Limiting Agreements.
(a)    Neither the Borrower, the Guarantors nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall enter into, any agreement, instrument or transaction which has or may have the effect of prohibiting or limiting the Borrower’s, the Guarantors’ or any of their respective Subsidiaries’ ability to pledge to Agent any Subject Property as security for the Obligations. The Borrower shall take, and shall cause the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries to take, such actions as are necessary to preserve the right and ability of the Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries to pledge the Subject Properties as security for the Obligations without any such pledge after the date hereof causing or permitting the acceleration (after the giving of notice or the passage of time, or otherwise) of any other Indebtedness of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries.
(b)    The Borrower shall, upon demand, provide to the Agent such evidence as the Agent may reasonably require to evidence compliance with this §7.12, which evidence shall include, without limitation, copies of any agreements or instruments which would in any way restrict or limit the Borrower’s, any Guarantor’s or any Subsidiary’s ability to pledge Subject Properties as security for Indebtedness, or which provide for the occurrence of a default (after the giving of notice or the passage of time, or otherwise) if Subject Properties are pledged in the future as security for Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Guarantor.
§7.13    Business Operations. The Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries shall operate their respective businesses in substantially the same manner and in substantially the same fields and lines of business as such business is now conducted and such other lines of business which are reasonably related or incidental thereto, and in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Loan Documents. Borrower will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, engage in any line of business other than the ownership, operation, development and sale of office, industrial, manufacturing, retail, distribution, medical/healthcare, data center or flex properties (or Mortgage Receivables, Second Lien Mortgage Receivables or Mezzanine Loans secured by such properties or an interest therein) and businesses reasonably related or incidental thereof.
§7.14    Distributions of Income to the Borrower. The Borrower shall cause all of its Subsidiaries (subject to the terms of any loan documents under which such Subsidiary is the borrower) to promptly distribute to the Borrower (but not less frequently than once each calendar quarter, unless otherwise approved by the Agent), whether in the form of dividends, distributions or otherwise, all profits, proceeds or other income relating to or arising from its Subsidiaries’ use, operation, financing, refinancing, sale or other disposition of their respective assets and properties after (a) the payment of reasonable and customary fees and expenses (including brokerage commissions) incurred in connection with such refinancing, sale or other disposition, (b) all money, contractually committed to replace assets with assets performing the same or similar functions, (c) the payment by each Subsidiary of its debt service, operating expenses, capital improvements and leasing commissions for such quarter and (d) the establishment of reasonable reserves for the payment of operating expenses not paid on at least a quarterly basis, for the payment of leasing commissions and for capital improvements and tenant improvements to be made to such Subsidiary’s assets and properties approved by such Subsidiary in the course of its business consistent with its past practices, and any other reserves reasonably prudent in the business judgment of such Subsidiary so long as such reserves are reasonable and expected to be utilized within six (6) months of the date such reserve is established or funded.
§7.15    Plan Assets. The Borrower will do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to ensure that none of the Subject Properties will be deemed to be Plan Assets at any time.
§7.16    Unencumbered Properties.
(a)    The Eligible Real Estate included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value shall at all times satisfy all of the following conditions:
(i)    the Eligible Real Estate shall be owned one hundred percent (100%) in fee simple or leased under a ground lease acceptable to Agent in its reasonable discretion by a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Borrower, in each case free and clear of all Liens other than the Liens permitted in §8.2(i) and (iv), 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 and excluding any right of first offer/refusal or purchase option as set forth in the leases provided to the Agent);
(ii)    none of the Eligible Real Estate shall have any material title, survey, environmental, structural or other defects that would give rise to a materially adverse effect as to the value, use of or ability to sell or refinance such property;
(iii)    the only asset of such Subsidiary shall be Eligible Real Estate included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value and related fixtures and personal property;
(iv)    each Eligible Real Estate is and shall be at least eighty percent (80%) leased (based on Net Rentable Area) to one or more tenants which are an Eligible Tenant;
(v)    no more than ten percent (10%) of the total Unencumbered Asset Value shall be attributable to Real Estate which is vacant (for example, such tenant is no longer conducting business from such property); provided that a failure to satisfy the requirements of this clause (v) shall not result in any Real Estate not being included as a Subject Property, but any such Unencumbered Asset Value in excess of such limitation being excluded for purposes of calculating Unencumbered Asset Value and the Unencumbered Net Operating Income corresponding thereto shall be similarly excluded);
(vi)    the Borrower shall have delivered to the Agent (A) a written request to include such Eligible Real Estate in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value, (B) a physical description of such Eligible Real Estate, (C) a current Rent Roll and current operating statements for such Eligible Real Estate, (D) a certification as to the matters covered under §7.16(a)(i)-(v), and (E) such other information as the Agent may reasonably require with respect to such Eligible Real Estate, including any information reasonably required by the Agent to determine compliance with this §7.16 (collectively, the “Eligible Real Estate Qualification Documents”); and
(vii)    such Eligible Real Estate has not been removed from the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value pursuant to §7.16(b), §7.16(c) or §7.16(d).
(b)    In the event that all or any material portion of any Eligible Real Estate included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value shall be damaged in any material respect or taken by condemnation, then such property shall no longer be included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value unless and until (i) any damage to such real estate is repaired or restored, such real estate becomes fully operational and the Agent shall receive evidence satisfactory to the Agent of the value of such real estate following such repair or restoration (both at such time and prospectively) or (ii) Agent shall receive evidence satisfactory to the Agent that the value of such real estate (both at such time and prospectively) shall not be materially adversely affected by such damage or condemnation. In the event that such damage or condemnation only partially affects such Eligible Real Estate included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value, then the Required Lenders may in good faith reduce the Unencumbered Asset Value attributable thereto based on such damage until such time as the Required Lenders receive evidence satisfactory to the Required Lenders that the value of such real estate (both at such time and prospectively) shall no longer be materially adversely affected by such damage or condemnation.
(c)    Upon any asset ceasing to qualify to be included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value, such asset shall no longer be included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value unless otherwise approved in writing by the Required Lenders. Within five (5) Business Days after becoming aware of any such disqualification, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a certificate reflecting such disqualification, together with the identity of the disqualified asset, a statement as to whether any Default or Event of Default arises as a result of such disqualification, and a calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value attributable to such asset. Simultaneously with the delivery of the items required pursuant above, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent an updated Unencumbered Asset Certificate demonstrating, after giving effect to such removal or disqualification, compliance with the conditions and covenants contained in this §7.16 and §§9.2, 9.3 and 9.4.
(d)    In addition, the Borrower may voluntarily remove any Real Estate from the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value by delivering to the Agent, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to date on which such removal is to be effected, notice of such removal, together with a statement that no Default or Event of Default then exists or would, upon the occurrence of such event or with passage of time, result from such removal, the identity of the Subject Property being removed. Simultaneously with the delivery of the items required above, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a pro forma Compliance Certificate and Unencumbered Asset Certificate demonstrating, after giving effect to such removal or disqualification, compliance with the covenants contained in this §7.16 and §§9.2, 9.3 and 9.4.
(e)    The Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the addition or removal of any Real Estate from the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value.
§7.17    Sanctions Laws and Regulations.
(a)    The Borrower shall not, directly or, to the knowledge of Borrower or Parent, indirectly, use the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any Subsidiary, Unconsolidated Affiliate or other Person (i) to fund any activities or business of or with any Designated Person, or in any country or territory, that at the time of such funding is itself the subject of territorial sanctions under applicable Sanctions Laws and Regulations, or (ii) in any manner that would result in a violation of applicable Sanctions Laws and Regulations or applicable anti-bribery, anti-corruption or anti-money laundering laws or regulations in any applicable jurisdiction by any party to this Agreement.
(b)    None of the funds or assets of the Borrower or any Guarantor that are used to pay any amount due pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute funds obtained from transactions with or relating to Designated Persons or countries which are themselves the subject of territorial sanctions under applicable Sanctions Laws and Regulations.

The Borrower shall, and shall cause the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Unencumbered Property Subsidiaries to:
(i)    in the event of any change in Environmental Laws governing the assessment, release or removal of Hazardous Substances, take all reasonable action (including, without limitation, the conducting of engineering tests at the sole expense of the Borrower) to confirm that no Hazardous Substances are or ever were Released or disposed of on the Subject Properties in violation of applicable Environmental Laws; and
(ii)    if any Release or disposal of Hazardous Substances which any Person may be legally obligated to contain, correct or otherwise remediate or which may otherwise expose it to liability shall occur or shall have occurred on the Subject Properties (including without limitation any such Release or disposal occurring prior to the acquisition or leasing of such Subject Property by the Borrower or any Unencumbered Property Subsidiary), the Borrower shall, after obtaining knowledge thereof, cause the prompt containment and removal of such Hazardous Substances and remediation of the Subject Property in full compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws; provided, that each of the Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Unencumbered Property Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be in compliance with Environmental Laws for the purpose of this clause (ii) so long as it or a responsible third party with sufficient financial resources is taking reasonable action to remediate or manage any event of noncompliance to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agent and no action shall have been commenced by any enforcement agency. The Agent may engage its own environmental consultant to review the environmental assessments and the compliance with the covenants contained herein.

Environmental assessments may include detailed visual inspections of such Subject Property including, without limitation, any and all storage areas, storage tanks, drains, dry xxxxx and leaching areas, and the taking of soil samples, as well as such other investigations or analyses as are reasonably necessary or appropriate for a complete determination of the compliance of such Subject Property and the use and operation thereof with all applicable Environmental Laws.

(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 following receipt of written notice of such Default, provided, however, that Borrower shall not be entitled to receive more than five (5) notices in the aggregate pursuant to this clause (i) in any period of 365 days ending on the date of any such occurrence of Default, and provided further that no such cure period shall apply to any payments due upon the maturity of the Notes, 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 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 consisting of a failure to comply with §7.4(c),§7.4(d), §7.16, §8.1, §8.2, §8.3, §8.4, §8.7, §8.8 or §8.12 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 Default or Event of Default that affects only certain Subject Property or the Unencumbered Property Subsidiary which owns or leases such Subject Property, then the Borrower may cure such Default or Event of Default (so long as no other Default or Event of Default would arise as a result) by removing such Subject Property from the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value and by reducing the outstanding Loans and Letters of Credit so that no Default exists under this Agreement, in which event such removal and reduction shall be completed within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice of such Default or Event of Default from the Agent or the Required Lenders.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything herein or otherwise to the contrary (except clause (b) of this §12.2), any Event of Default occurring hereunder shall continue to exist (and shall be deemed to be continuing) until such time as such Event of Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement notwithstanding (i) any attempted cure or other action taken by the Borrower or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of Default or (ii) any action taken or omitted to be taken by Agent or any Lender prior to or subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of Default (other than the granting of a waiver in writing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement).
§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 and be continuing, the Agent may, and upon the election of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower terminate the obligation to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit to the Borrower. No termination under this §12.3 shall relieve the Borrower of its 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 with the consent 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, 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 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, Agent may itself perform, or cause to be performed, any agreement or covenant of such Person contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents which such Person shall fail to perform, and the out-of-pocket costs of such performance, together with any reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred (including attorneys’ fees incurred in any appeal) by Agent in connection therewith, shall be payable by 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 costs of collection including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees.
§12.5    Distribution of Proceeds. In the event that, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any monies are received in connection with the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or otherwise with respect to the realization upon any of the assets of Borrower or the Guarantors, such monies shall be distributed for application as follows:
(a)    First, to the payment of, or (as the case may be) the reimbursement of the Agent for or in respect of, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses, disbursements and losses which shall have been paid, incurred or sustained by the Agent in connection with the collection of such monies by the Agent, for the exercise, protection or enforcement by the Agent of all or any of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in support of any provision of adequate indemnity to the Agent against any taxes or liens which by law shall have, or may have, priority over the rights of the Agent or the Lenders to such monies;
(b)    Second, to all other Obligations (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) distributions in respect of such other Obligations shall include, on a pari passu basis, any Agent’s fee payable pursuant to §4.2; (ii) in the event that any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, payments to such Lender shall be governed by §2.13, and (iii) except as otherwise provided in clause (ii), Obligations owing to the Lenders with respect to each type of Obligation such as interest, principal, fees and expenses shall be made among the Lenders 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
(c)    Third, the excess, if any, shall be returned to the Borrower or to such other Persons as are entitled thereto.
§12.6    Collateral Account.
(a)    As collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due of all Letter of Credit Liabilities 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 the investments and reinvestments therein provided for below). The balances from time to time in the Collateral Account shall not constitute payment of any Letter of Credit Liabilities 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 section. The obligation of the Borrower to establish the Collateral Account shall not arise unless and until there is an obligation to deposit funds therein pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
(b)    Amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account shall be invested and reinvested by the Agent in such Cash Equivalents as the Agent shall determine in its sole discretion. All such investments and reinvestments shall be held in the name of and be under the sole dominion and control of the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders. The Agent shall exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any funds held in the Collateral Account and shall be deemed to have exercised such care if such funds are accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Agent accords other funds deposited with the Agent, it being understood that the Agent shall not have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any funds held in the Collateral Account.
(c)    If a drawing pursuant to any Letter of Credit occurs on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower and the Lenders authorize the Agent to use the monies deposited in the Collateral Account to make payment to the beneficiary with respect to such drawing or the payee with respect to such presentment.
(d)    If an Event of Default exists, the Required Revolving Credit Lenders may, in their discretion, at any time and from time to time, instruct the Agent to liquidate any such investments and reinvestments and apply proceeds thereof to the Obligations in accordance with §12.5.
(e)    So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, and to the extent amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account exceed the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities then due and owing and the pro rata share of any Letter of Credit Liabilities 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 ten (10) Business Days after the Agent’s receipt of such request from the Borrower, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, such of the balances in the Collateral Account as exceed the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities 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 and investments and reinvestments of funds therein. The Borrower authorizes Agent to file such financing statements as Agent may reasonably require in order to perfect Agent’s security interest in the Collateral Account, and Borrower shall promptly upon demand execute and deliver to Agent such other documents as 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 Borrower or any Guarantor (any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower, Parent and each of the other Guarantors) but with the prior written approval of Agent, be applied to or set off against the payment of Obligations and any and all other liabilities, direct, or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, of the Borrower or the Guarantors to such Lender. Each of the Lenders agrees with each other Lender that if such Lender shall receive from the Borrower or 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 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) the 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. Lender agrees to notify the Borrower promptly after any such set off and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not give the Borrower any cause of action or right to damages or affect the validity of such set off 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. Agent shall act as the contractual representative of the Lenders hereunder, and notwithstanding the use of the term “Agent”, it is understood and agreed that Agent shall not have any fiduciary duties or responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and is acting as an independent contractor, the duties and responsibilities of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Borrower and any other Person shall be entitled to conclusively rely on a statement from the Agent that it has the authority to act for and bind the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
§14.2    Employees and Agents. The Agent may exercise its powers and execute its duties by or through employees or agents and shall be entitled to take, and to rely on, advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Agent may utilize the services of such Persons as the Agent may reasonably determine, and all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of any such Persons shall be paid by the Borrower.
§14.3    No Liability. Neither the Agent nor any of its shareholders, directors, officers or employees nor any other Person assisting them in their duties nor any agent, or employee thereof, shall be liable for (a) any waiver, consent or approval given or any action taken, or omitted to be taken, in good faith by it or them hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, or be responsible for the consequences of any oversight or error of judgment whatsoever, except that the Agent or such other Person, as the case may be, shall be liable for losses due to its bad faith, 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 Agent with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders, the Required Revolving Credit Lenders or the Required Term Loan Lenders, as applicable. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, 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 any assets of the Borrower or the Guarantors 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. Agent’s Special Counsel has only represented Agent and KeyBank in connection with the Loan Documents and the only attorney client relationship or duty of care is between Agent’s Special Counsel and Agent or KeyBank. Each Lender has been independently represented by separate counsel on all matters regarding the Loan Documents.
§14.5    Payments.
(a)    A payment by the Borrower or any Guarantor to the Agent hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents for the account of any Lender shall constitute a payment to such Lender. The Agent agrees to distribute to each Lender not later than one 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. 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    Agent as Lender. In its individual capacity, KeyBank shall have the same obligations and the same rights, powers and privileges in respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it, and as the holder of any of the Notes as it would have were it not also the Agent.
§14.9    Resignation. The Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Any such resignation may at Agent’s option also constitute Agent’s resignation as Issuing 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, Issuing Lender, any Lender or any bank whose senior debt obligations are rated not less than “A” or its equivalent by Xxxxx’x or not less than “A” or its equivalent by S&P and which has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000.00. Unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such successor Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender, shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. If no successor Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be any Lender or any bank whose senior debt obligations are rated not less than “A2” or its equivalent by Xxxxx’x or not less than “A” or its equivalent by S&P and which has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000.00. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender, hereunder by a successor Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender, such successor Agent and, if applicable, Issuing 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 the retiring Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder as Agent and, if applicable, Issuing 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 Agent and Issuing 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 Event of Default as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Agent reasonably determines payment is in the best interest of all the Lenders, 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 Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Lenders of such action. Each Lender shall, within thirty (30) days of request therefor, pay to the Agent its Commitment Percentage of the reasonable costs incurred by the Agent in taking any such actions hereunder to the extent that such costs shall not be promptly reimbursed to the Agent by the Borrower or the Guarantors within such period. The 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 in any applicable jurisdiction.
§14.11    Bankruptcy. In the event a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding is commenced by or against 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 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 Agent fails to file such claim within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from the Lenders requesting that Agent file such proof of claim.
§14.12    Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by an Authorized Officer. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Agent (or Issuing Lender, as applicable) may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Agent (or Issuing Lender, as applicable) shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan or issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower and/or the Guarantors), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
§14.13    Approvals. If consent is required for some action under this Agreement, or except as otherwise provided herein an approval of the Lenders, the Required Lenders, the Required Revolving Credit Lenders or the Required Term Loan Lenders is required or permitted under this Agreement, each Lender agrees to give the Agent, within ten (10) days of receipt of the request for action together with all reasonably requested information related thereto (or such lesser period of time required by the terms of the Loan Documents), notice in writing of approval or disapproval (collectively “Directions”) in respect of any action requested or proposed in writing pursuant to the terms hereof. To the extent that any Lender does not approve any recommendation of Agent, such Lender shall in such notice to 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 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. 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 Agent and such other Lenders have otherwise been notified in writing.
§14.14    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 and Xxxxxxxxxx.
§00.    EXPENSES.
The Borrower agrees to pay (a) the reasonable costs of producing and reproducing this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other agreements and instruments mentioned herein, (b) [intentionally omitted], (c) the reasonable and documented fees, expenses and disbursements of the outside 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 Agent incurred in connection with the syndication and/or participation of the Loans, (e) all other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, expenses and disbursements of the Agent incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation or interpretation of the Loan Documents and other instruments mentioned herein, the addition or substitution of additional Subject Properties, the making of each advance hereunder, the issuance of Letters of Credit, and the syndication of the Commitments pursuant to §18 (without duplication of those items addressed in subparagraph (d), above), (f) all out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs, and the fees and costs of appraisers, engineers, investment bankers or other experts retained by any Lender or the Agent) incurred by any Lender or the Agent in connection with (i) the enforcement of or preservation of rights under any of the Loan Documents against the Borrower or the Guarantors or the administration thereof after the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default 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, (g) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, expenses and disbursements of the Agent incurred in connection with UCC searches and/or title searches, (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 for two (2) years following repayment of the Loans and termination of the obligations of the Lenders to lend or issue Letters of Credit hereunder.
§16.    INDEMNIFICATION.
The Borrower and Parent, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, the Lenders and the Arranger and each director, officer, employee, agent and Person who controls the Agent or any Lender or the Arranger 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 (but not including separate financings provided by any Lender to a Subsidiary of Borrower that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor or an Unencumbered Property Subsidiary) including, without limitation, (a) any and all claims for brokerage, leasing, finders or similar fees which may be made relating to the Subject Properties or the Loans, (b) any condition of the Subject Properties or any 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, the Guarantors, 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 Subject 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, in addition to the foregoing indemnity, the Borrower agrees to pay promptly the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel.

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 and issuance of any Letters of Credit, as herein contemplated, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any amount due under this Agreement or the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents remains outstanding or any Letters of Credit remain outstanding or any Lender has any obligation to make any Loans or issue any Letters of Credit. The indemnification obligations of the Borrower provided herein and in the other Loan Documents 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.

§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 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 (provided that (i) such consent shall not be required for any assignment to another Lender, to a lender which is and remains under common control with the assigning Lender or to a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of such Lender, provided that such assignee shall remain a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of such Lender and (ii) the Borrower will be deemed to have consented unless it provides notice to the Agent and the assigning Lender of its disapproval within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt of such request and), (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, (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 G annexed hereto, together with any Notes subject to such assignment, (d) in no event shall any assignment be to (i) any Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with, the Borrower or any Guarantor or (ii) a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender, (e) such assignee shall have a net worth or unfunded commitment as of the date of such assignment of not less than $100,000,000.00 (unless otherwise approved by Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, 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, (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, and (h) such assignee shall be subject to the terms of any intercreditor agreement among the Lenders and the Agent. 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 hereto 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 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 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. Furthermore, in connection with the syndication of the Loan by Agent and Arranger, the Borrower agree to assist Agent and Arranger actively in achieving a timely syndication that is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, Agent and Arranger, such assistance to include, among other things, (i) direct contact during the syndication between the Borrower’s senior officers, representatives and advisors, on the one hand, and prospective Lenders, on the other hand at such times and places as Agent or Arranger may reasonably request, (ii) providing to Agent and Arranger all financial and other information with respect to the Borrower and the transactions contemplated hereunder that Agent or Arranger may reasonably request, including but not limited to financial projections relating to the foregoing, and (iii) assistance in the preparation of a confidential information memorandum and other marketing materials to be used in connection with the syndication.
§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 $5,000.00.
§18.3    New Notes. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement executed by the parties to such assignment, together with each Note subject to such assignment, the Agent shall record the information contained therein in the Register. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of notice of such assignment from 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 sell participations to one or more Lenders or other entities 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 and §4.10, (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 (i) a Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with, or which is not otherwise free from influence or control by any of the Borrower or any Guarantor or (ii) 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 Revolving Credit Maturity Date pursuant to §2.12), (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal, (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon or (v) release any Guarantor (except as otherwise permitted under this Agreement). Any Lender which sells a participation shall promptly notify the Agent of such sale and the identity of the purchaser of such interest. In addition, each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
§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 §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 lenders. No such pledge or the enforcement thereof shall release the pledgor Lender from its obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents.
§18.6    No Assignment by 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. Borrower agrees to promptly cooperate with any Lender in connection with any proposed assignment or participation of all or any portion of its Commitment. The Borrower agrees that in addition to disclosures made in accordance with standard banking practices any Lender may disclose information obtained by such Lender pursuant to this Agreement to assignees or participants and potential assignees or participants hereunder provided such Persons are advised of the provisions of this §18.7. 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 Parent, Borrower or any other Guarantor that has been identified verbally or in writing as confidential by any of them, and shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with its customary procedures to not disclose such information to any other Person, it being understood and agreed that, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender may make (a) disclosures to its participants (provided such Persons are advised of the provisions of this §18.7), (b) disclosures to its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, accountants, appraisers, legal counsel and other professional advisors of 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 Persons are advised of the provisions of this §18.7), (d) disclosures to bank regulatory authorities or self-regulatory bodies with jurisdiction over such Lender, or (e) disclosures required or requested by any other Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process; provided that, unless specifically prohibited by Applicable Law or court order, each Lender shall notify 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 government 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 (provided such contractual counterparty or professional advisors are advised of 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 and similar service providers to the lending industry; provided that such information is limited to deal terms and other information customarily found in publications produced by such Persons. 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 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 Parent, the Borrower or the other Guarantors, or is disclosed with the prior approval of Borrower. Nothing herein shall prohibit the disclosure of non-public information to the extent necessary to enforce the Loan Documents.
§18.8    Amendments to Loan Documents. Upon any such assignment or participation, the Borrower and the Guarantors shall, upon the request of the Agent, enter into such documents as may be reasonably required by the Agent to modify the Loan Documents to reflect such assignment or participation.
§18.9    Mandatory Assignment. In the event the Borrower requests that certain amendments, modifications or waivers be made to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents which request is approved by Agent but is not approved by one or more of the Lenders (any such non-consenting Lender shall hereafter be referred to as the “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, within sixty (60) Business Days after the Borrower’s receipt of notice of such disapproval by such Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrower shall have the right as to such Non-Consenting Lender, to be exercised by delivery of written notice delivered to the Agent and the Non-Consenting Lender within sixty (60) Business Days of receipt of such notice, to elect to cause the Non-Consenting Lender to transfer its Commitment. The Agent shall promptly notify the remaining Lenders that each of such Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire a portion of the Commitment, pro rata based upon their relevant Commitment Percentages, of the Non-Consenting Lender (or if any of such Lenders does not elect to purchase its pro rata share, then to such remaining Lenders in such proportion as approved by the Agent). In the event that the Lenders do not elect to acquire all of the Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitment, then the Agent shall endeavor to find a new Lender or Lenders to acquire such remaining Commitment. Upon any such purchase of the Commitment of the Non-Consenting Lender, the Non-Consenting Lender’s interests in the Obligations and its rights and obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall terminate at the date of purchase, and the Non-Consenting Lender shall promptly execute and deliver any and all documents reasonably requested by Agent to surrender and transfer such interest, including, without limitation, an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G and such Non-Consenting Lender’s original Note. The purchase price for the Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitment shall equal any and all amounts outstanding and owed by the Borrower to the Non-Consenting Lender, including principal and all accrued and unpaid interest or fees, plus any applicable amounts payable pursuant to §4.8 which would be owed to such Non-Consenting Lender if the Loans were to be repaid in full on the date of such purchase of the Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitment (provided that the Borrower may pay to such Non-Consenting Lender any interest, fees or other amounts (other than principal) owing to such Non-Consenting Lender).
§18.10    Titled Agents. The Titled Agents shall not have any additional rights or obligations under the Loan Documents, except for those rights, if any, as a Lender.

There shall be no amendment, modification or waiver of any provision in the Loan Documents which results in a modification of the conditions to funding with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitment or the Term Loan Commitment without the written consent of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders or the Required Term Loan Lenders, respectively, nor any amendment, modification or waiver that disproportionately affects the Revolving Credit Lenders or the Term Loan Lenders without the approval of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders or the Required Term Loan Lenders, respectively. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders) except that the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased without the consent of such Lender. The provisions of §14 may not be amended without the written consent of the Agent. There shall be no amendment, modification or waiver of any provision in the Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit without the consent of the Issuing Lender. The Borrower agrees to enter into such modifications or amendments of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents as reasonably may be requested by KeyBank in connection with the syndication of the Loan, provided that no such amendment or modification materially affects or increases any of the obligations of the Borrower hereunder. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. No notice to or demand upon any of the Borrower or the Guarantors shall entitle the Borrower or any Guarantor to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
§28.    SEVERABILITY.
The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if any one clause or provision hereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction, and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or any other clause or provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction.
§29.    TIME OF THE ESSENCE.
Time is of the essence with respect to each and every covenant, agreement and obligation of the Borrower and the Guarantors under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
§30.    NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS.
THE LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. ANY ADDITIONAL TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES ARE SET FORTH BELOW.
§31.    REPLACEMENT NOTES.
Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Borrower of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory to Borrower or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the applicable Note, Borrower will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note, identical in form and substance to the applicable Note and dated as of the date of the applicable Note and upon such execution and delivery all references in the Loan Documents to such Note shall be deemed to refer to such replacement Note.
§32.    NO THIRD PARTIES BENEFITED.
This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Agent, the Arranger and their permitted successors and assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. All conditions to the performance of the obligations of the Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement, including the obligation to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit, are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that the Agent and the Lenders will refuse to make Loans or issue Letters of Credit in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall, under any circumstances, be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any and all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by the Agent and the Lenders at any time if in their sole discretion they deem it desirable to do so. In particular, the Agent and the Lenders make no representations and assume no obligations as to third parties concerning the quality of the construction by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any development or the absence therefrom of defects.
§33.    PATRIOT ACT.
Each Lender and the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Borrower and Guarantors that, pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower and the Guarantors, which information includes names and addresses and other information that will allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify Borrower and the Guarantors in accordance with the Patriot Act.
§34.    ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND CONSENT TO BAIL-IN OF EEA FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and
(b)    the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
§35.    AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF LOAN DOCUMENTS.
In order to facilitate the amendment and restatement of the Original Credit Agreement, certain new lenders are becoming a party to this Agreement as Term Loan Lenders and/or Revolving Credit Lenders. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, (i) the Existing Revolving Credit Commitments and Existing Revolving Credit Loans shall be allocated among the Revolving Credit Lenders that are a party to this Agreement in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages, and (ii) the Existing Term Loan Commitments and Existing Term Loans shall be allocated among the Term Loan Lenders that are a party to this Agreement in accordance with their respective Term Loan Commitment Percentages. The foregoing is done as an accommodation to the Borrower and the Lenders, and shall be deemed to have occurred with the same force and effect as if such assignments were evidenced by the applicable Assignment and Acceptance Agreement (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement), and no other documents shall be, or shall be required to be, executed in connection therewith, except as provided in §2.1 and §2.2. Any payment that is due and payable to any Lender under the Original Credit Agreement as of the date of this Agreement shall be due and payable in the amount determined pursuant to the Original Credit Agreement for periods prior to the Closing Date on the next payment date for such interest or fee set forth in this Agreement.
§36.    WAIVER OF CLAIMS.
Borrower and Parent acknowledge, represent and agree that Borrower and Guarantors as of the date hereof have no defenses, setoffs, claims, counterclaims or causes of action of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the “Loan Documents” (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement and this Agreement), the administration or funding of the “Loans” (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement and this Agreement), or with respect to any acts or omissions of Agent or any past or present directors, officers, agents or employees of Agent or any of the Lenders, whether under the Original Credit Agreement or this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and each of Borrower and Parent does hereby expressly waive, release and relinquish any and all such defenses, setoffs, claims, counterclaims and causes of action, if any.

Interest shall be payable on the dates specified in the Credit Agreement, except that all accrued interest shall be paid at the stated or accelerated maturity hereof or upon the prepayment in full hereof.

Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, all agreements between the undersigned Maker and 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.
