§ 2.6 ~~§ 2.5~~ [Intentionally Omitted].

§ 2.7 ~~§ 2.6~~ Interest.

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

(b) Each LIBOR Rate Advance shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of each Interest Period with respect thereto at the rate per annum equal to the sum of LIBOR determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Rate Advances.

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

(f) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of Borrower (excluding any restatements or adjustments resulting from a change in GAAP or other accounting methodology, legislation or standards) or other miscalculation verified by both Borrower and the Lenders, acting reasonably and in good faith, Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Gross Asset Value as calculated as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Gross Asset Value would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, promptly on demand by the Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Agent or any Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive until the termination of the aggregate Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

§ 2.8 ~~§ 2.7~~ Requests for Advance. Borrower shall give to the Agent written notice executed by an Authorized Officer in the form of Exhibit C hereto (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing in the form of Exhibit C hereto) of each Advance requested hereunder (a “Loan Request”) by 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to Base Rate Advances and with respect to LIBOR Rate Advances (a) in the case of the Advances to be made on the Closing Date, two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date and (b) in the case of any other LIBOR Rate Advances, three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date, unless the timing of such notice is waived or reduced by the Agent in its sole discretion. Each such notice shall specify with respect to the requested Advance the proposed principal amount of such Advance, the Type of Advance, the initial Interest Period (if applicable) for such Advance and the Drawdown Date. Promptly upon receipt of any such notice, the Agent shall notify each of the Lenders thereof. Each Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrower and shall obligate Borrower to accept the Advance requested from the Lenders on the proposed Drawdown Date. Nothing herein shall prevent Borrower from seeking recourse against any Lender that fails to advance its proportionate share of a requested Advance as required by this Agreement. Each Loan Request shall be, subject to § 2.1(b), (a) for Base Rate Advances in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; or (b) for LIBOR Rate Advances in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof; provided, however, that there shall be no more than ten (10) LIBOR Rate Advances outstanding at any one time.

Upon receipt from each such Lender 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 Borrower the aggregate amount of such Advance made available to the Agent by the Lenders by crediting such amount to the account of Borrower maintained at the Agent’s Head Office. The failure or refusal of any Lender to make available to the Agent at the aforesaid time and place on any Drawdown Date the amount of its Commitment Percentage of the requested Advance

shall not relieve any other Lender from its several obligation hereunder to make available to the Agent the amount of such other Lender’s Commitment Percentage of any requested Advance, including any additional Advance 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 Borrower the amount of its or their Commitment Percentage for such Advances as provided in § 12.5.

(b) Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the applicable Drawdown Date that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of a proposed Advance, the Agent may in its discretion assume that such Lender has made such Advance available to the Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Agent may, if it chooses, in reliance upon such assumption make such portion of the applicable Advance available to Borrower, and such Lender shall be liable to the Agent for the amount of such portion of the applicable Advance. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount upon the Agent’s demand therefor, the Agent will promptly notify Borrower, and Borrower shall promptly pay such corresponding amount to the Agent. The Agent shall also be entitled to recover from the Lender or Borrower (without duplication), 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 Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Agent at a per annum rate equal to (i) from Borrower at the applicable rate for such Advance or (ii) from a Lender at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

§ 2.11 ~~§ 2.10~~ Reallocation of Lender Commitment Percentages; No Novation. On the Closing Date, the Advances made under the Existing Loan Agreement shall be deemed to have been made under this Agreement, without the execution by ~~the~~ Borrower or the Lenders of any other documentation, and all such Advances currently outstanding shall be deemed to have been simultaneously reallocated among the Lenders as follows:

(a) ~~(a)~~ On the Closing Date, each Lender that will have a greater Commitment Percentage of the Facility upon the Closing Date than its Existing Commitment Percentage immediately prior to the Closing Date (each, a “Facility Purchasing Lender”), without executing an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, shall be deemed to have purchased assignments pro rata from each Lender that will have a smaller Commitment Percentage of the Facility upon the Closing Date than its Existing Commitment Percentage immediately prior to the Closing Date (each, a “Facility Selling Lender”) in all such Facility Selling Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as a Lender (collectively, the “Facility Assigned Rights and Obligations”) so that, after giving effect to such assignments, each Lender shall have its respective Commitment Percentage as set forth in Schedule 1.1 hereto and a corresponding Commitment Percentage of all Advances then outstanding under the Facility. Each such purchase hereunder shall be at par for a purchase price equal to the principal amount of the loans and without recourse, representation or warranty, except that each Facility Selling Lender shall be deemed to represent and warrant to each Facility Purchasing Lender that the Facility Assigned Rights and Obligations of such Facility Selling Lender are not subject to any Liens created by that Facility Selling Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the aggregate amount of each Lender’s Advances outstanding at any time exceed its Commitment Percentage as set forth in Schedule 1.1 hereto

(b) ~~(b)~~ Each Lender hereunder hereby waives any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of the reallocations set forth in § 2.10(a) above in respect of LIBOR Rate Advances to the extent such reallocations take place on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Rate Advances.

(c) ~~(c)~~ The Agent shall calculate the net amount to be paid or received by each Lender in connection with the assignments effected hereunder on the Closing Date. Each Lender required to make a payment pursuant to this § 2.10 shall make the net amount of its required payment available to the Agent, in same day funds, at the office of the Agent not later than 12:00 P.M. (Eastern time) on the Closing Date. The Agent shall distribute on the Closing Date the proceeds of such amounts to the Lenders entitled to receive payments pursuant to this § 2.10, pro rata in proportion to the amount each such Lender is entitled to receive at the primary address set forth on its signature page hereto or at such other address as such Lender may request in writing to the Agent.

(d) ~~(d)~~ Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a discharge, extinguishment or novation of the Obligations of the Loan Parties outstanding under the Existing Loan Agreement or any instruments securing the same, which Obligations shall remain outstanding under this Agreement after the date hereof as “Advances” except as expressly modified hereby or by instruments executed concurrently with this Agreement.

§ 2.12 ~~§ 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, Borrower shall have the option at any time and from time to time before the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date to request an increase in the Total Commitment to not more than ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS ($100,000,000) more than the Total Commitment as of the Closing Date by giving written notice to the Agent (an “Increase Notice”; and the amount of such requested increase is the “Commitment Increase”), provided that any such individual increase must be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000 and incremental amounts of $5,000,000 in excess thereof. Upon receipt of any Increase Notice, the Agent shall consult with Arrangers and shall notify Borrower of the amount of upfront fees to be paid to any Lenders who provide an additional Commitment in connection with such increase in the Total Commitment (which shall be in addition to the fees to be paid to the Agent or Arrangers pursuant to the Agreement Regarding Fees). If Borrower agrees to pay the upfront fees so determined, then the Agent, Arrangers 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 the Agent, Arrangers and Borrower) to become Lenders and provide additional Commitments and/or one or more existing Lenders to increase their Commitments in an aggregate amount consistent with the Increase Notice. The Agent shall provide all Lenders with a notice setting forth the amount, if any, of the additional Commitment to be provided by each Lender and the revised Commitment Percentages which shall be applicable after the effective date of the Commitment Increase specified therein (the “Commitment Increase Date”). In no event shall any Lender be obligated to provide an additional Commitment. Any Commitment Increase and the additional Advance in respect of such Commitment Increase (which Advance shall be in such principal amount as shall cause the outstanding Advances of each Lender to be held consistent with its Commitment Percentage after giving effect to the Commitment Increase) to be made by each Lender increasing its Commitment or issuing a new Commitment shall be evidenced by a supplement to this Agreement executed by the Agent, Borrower and any Lender increasing its Commitment or issuing a new Commitment, which supplement may include such amendments to this Agreement as the Agent deems reasonably necessary or appropriate to implement the transactions contemplated by this § 2.11.

(b) On the Commitment Increase Date, the Advances then outstanding and such additional Advance shall be combined so that all Lenders (including any Lender issuing a new Commitment) hold pro rata amounts of the Loan (including such additional Advance) of each Type and Interest Period in their respective Commitment Percentages as determined after giving effect to such additional Advance.

(c) Upon the effective date of each increase in the Total Commitment pursuant to this § 2.11 the Agent may unilaterally revise Schedule 1.1 and Borrower shall, if requested by such Lender, execute and deliver to the Agent new Notes for each Lender whose Commitment has changed (or any Lender issuing a new Commitment that has requested a Note) so that the principal amount of such Lender’s Note shall equal its

Commitment. The Agent shall deliver such replacement Notes to the respective Lenders in exchange for the Notes replaced thereby which shall be surrendered by such Lenders. Such new Notes shall provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Notes 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 Notes.

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

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

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

(iii) Representations True. The representations and warranties made by Loan Parties in the Loan Documents or otherwise made by or on behalf of Loan Parties 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 Commitment is increased, both immediately before and after the Total Commitment is increased; and

(iv) Additional Documents and Expenses. Loan Parties shall execute and deliver to the Agent and the Lenders such additional documents, instruments, certifications and opinions as the Agent may reasonably require, including, without limitation, a Compliance Certificate, demonstrating compliance with all covenants set forth in the Loan Documents after giving effect to the increase, and Borrower shall pay the cost of any updated UCC searches and any and all intangible taxes or other taxes, assessments or charges or any similar fees, taxes or expenses which are demanded in connection with such increase.

SECTION 3

§ 3.2 Mandatory Prepayments. If at any time the outstanding principal balance of the Revolver Loans, the Loan, the Letter of Credit Liabilities and all other Unsecured Debt exceeds the Unencumbered Asset Pool Availability (including, without limitation, as a result of the termination of any ground lease or any lease of a Leased Asset related to an Eligible Real Estate Asset), then Borrower shall, within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of notice from the Agent of such occurrence, pay the amount of such excess as a payment of principal to the holder or holders of any Unsecured Debt, together with any additional amounts required to be paid to such holder or holders in connection with such principal payments of Indebtedness.

§ 3.3 Optional Prepayments.

(a) Borrower shall have the right, at its election, to prepay the outstanding amount of the Loan, as a whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium; provided, that if any prepayment of the outstanding amount of any LIBOR Rate Advances 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) Borrower shall give the Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time) at least ~~three~~two (32) days prior written notice for any LIBOR Rate Loans, and one (1) day prior written notice for any Base Rate Loans, of any prepayment pursuant to this § 3.3, in each case specifying the proposed date of prepayment of the Loan or portion thereof and the principal amount to be prepaid (provided that (i) any such notice may be revoked or modified upon one (1) day’s prior notice to the Agent) and (ii) any such notice may be conditioned upon the consummation of a transaction.

SECTION 4

CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS

§ 4.1 Conversion Options.

(a) Borrower may by notice to the Agent in the form of Exhibit G hereto elect from time to time to convert any of the outstanding Advances to Advances of another Type and such Advances shall thereafter bear interest as a Base Rate Advance or a LIBOR Rate Advance, as applicable; provided that (i) with respect to any such conversion of a LIBOR Rate Advance to a Base Rate Advance, 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 Advance unless Borrower pays Breakage Costs as required under this Agreement; (ii) with respect to any such conversion of a Base Rate Advance to a LIBOR Rate Advance, Borrower shall give the Agent at least ~~three~~two (32) LIBOR Business Days’ prior written notice of such election and the Interest Period requested for such Advance, the principal amount of the Loan so converted shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof and, after giving effect to the making of such Advance, there shall be no more than ten (10) LIBOR Rate Advances outstanding at any one time; and (iii) no Advance may be converted into a LIBOR Rate Advance when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. All or any part of the outstanding Advances of any Type may be converted as provided herein, provided that no partial conversion shall result in a Base Rate Advance in a principal amount of less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or a LIBOR Rate Advance in a principal amount of less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof. 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 Advances 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 Advance to a LIBOR Rate Advance shall be irrevocable by Borrower. For purposes of this §4.1(a), the words “executed,” “signed,” “signature,” “deliver,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to a Conversion/Continuation

Request to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that nothing herein shall require the Agent to accept electronic signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent.

(b) Any LIBOR Rate Advance may be continued as such Type upon the expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto by compliance by Borrower with the terms of § 4.1; provided that no LIBOR Rate Advance 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 Advance 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 Borrower does not notify the Agent of its election hereunder with respect to any LIBOR Rate Advance, such Advance shall be automatically continued at the end of the applicable Interest Period as a LIBOR Rate Advance for an Interest Period of one month unless such Interest Period shall be greater than the time remaining until the Maturity Date, in which case such Advance shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Advances at the end of the applicable Interest Period.

§ 4.2 Fees. Borrower agrees to pay to RBC and the Arrangers for their own account certain fees for services rendered or to be rendered in connection with the Loan as provided pursuant to the Agreement Regarding Fees.

§ 4.3 [Intentionally Omitted]].

§ 4.4 Funds for Payments.

(a) All payments of principal, interest, 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 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the day when due (or such later time as is acceptable to the Agent in the event of a payment in full of all Advances and a termination of Commitments hereunder), in each case in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds. To the extent not already paid pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Agent is hereby authorized to charge the accounts of Borrower with RBC, on the dates when the amount thereof shall become due and payable, with the amounts of the principal of and interest on the Advances 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 the Agent on behalf of the Lenders, and actually received by the Agent, shall be deemed received by the Lenders on the date actually received by the Agent.

(b) All payments by ~~Borrower~~any Loan Party 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 now or hereafter imposed or levied by the United States of America or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein or any jurisdiction from or through which a payment is made by Borrower, excluding any income Taxes, franchise Taxes imposed in lieu of income Taxes and any Taxes imposed by a jurisdiction as a result of any connection between a Lender and such jurisdiction other than any connection arising solely from executing, delivering, performing its obligations under, or enforcing any Loan Document (“Non-Excluded Taxes”), unless Borrower is compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding. If any such obligation is imposed upon Borrower with respect to any amount payable by Borrower hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, Borrower will pay to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders or (as the case may be) the Agent, on the date on which such amount is due and payable

hereunder or under such other Loan Document, such additional amount in Dollars as shall be necessary to enable the Lenders or the Agent to receive the same net amount which the Lenders or the Agent would have received on such due date had no such obligation been imposed upon Borrower; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender’s or Agent’s failure to comply with the requirements of § 4.4(c) or that are withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA; (ii) that are branch profits taxes imposed by the United States or any similar taxes imposed by any other jurisdiction under the laws of which a Lender is organized or in which its applicable lending office is located; or (iii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender, that are imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new lending office), except to the extent that such Lender (or its assignor, if any) was entitled, at the time of designation of a new lending office (or assignment) to receive additional amounts from Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this §4.4(b). Borrower will deliver promptly to the Agent certificates or other valid vouchers for all Taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document. In the event a Lender receives a refund or credit of any Non-Excluded Taxes paid by Borrower pursuant to this section, such Lender will pay to Borrower the amount of such refund or credit (and any interest received with respect thereto) promptly upon receipt thereof; provided that if at any time thereafter such Lender is required to return such refund or credit, Borrower shall promptly repay to such Lender the amount of such refund or credit, net of any reasonable incremental additional costs., except as required by Legal Requirements. If any Legal Requirement (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 Legal Requirements and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Borrower or other applicable Loan Party 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) Each Lender that is not a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “Non-U.S. Lender”), to the extent such Lender is lawfully able to do so, shall provide Borrower on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the date of the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of Borrower, with (x) two (2) original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form X-0XXX, X-0XXX-X, X-0XXX and/or W-8IMY (or, in each case, any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and any other such duly executed form(s) or statement(s) (including whether such Lender has complied with the FATCA) which may, from time to time, be prescribed by law and, which, pursuant to applicable provisions of (i) an income tax treaty between the United States and the country of residence of such Lender, (ii) the Code, or (iii) any applicable rules or regulations in effect under (i) or (ii) above, establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of the Loan Documents, or (y) if such Lender is not a “bank” or other Person described in Section 881(c)(3) of the Code, a Certificate Regarding Non-Bank Status together with two (2) original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Code and requested by Borrower to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of interest payable under any of the Loan Documents. Each Lender that is a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for United States federal income tax purposes (a “U.S. Lender”) and is not an exempt recipient within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.6049-4(c) shall provide Borrower on or prior to the Closing Date (or, if later, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement) two (2) original copies of Internal Revenue Service From W-9 (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, certifying that such U.S. Lender is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax, or otherwise prove that it is

entitled to such an exemption. Each Lender required to deliver any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters pursuant to this Section hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of such forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall promptly provide Borrower two (2) new original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form X-0, X 0XXX, X 0XXX and/or W-8IMY (or, in each case, any successor form), or a Certificate Regarding Non-Bank Status and two (2) original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor form), as the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Code and requested by Borrower to confirm or establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents, or notify Borrower of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence. The Agent shall deliver to Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by Borrower) on or prior to the date on which the Agent becomes the Agent under this Agreement and, to the extent it remains legally entitled to do so, from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower, a properly completed and duly executed Internal Revenue Service Form X-0, X-0XXX and/or W-8IMY, which certifies that payments by Borrower to the Agent are exempt from U.S. withholding Tax. The Agent hereby assumes primary U.S. withholding, backup withholding and information reporting obligations with respect to amounts paid or payable to it by Borrower under the Loan Documents.

~~(d)~~ In the event it is reasonably necessary to determine the fair market value of the Commitments, Loans and/or other obligations under the Loan Documents for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1273-2(f), the Agent shall assist Borrower as reasonably requested in connection with making such determination (including by using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain quotes and sales prices for the Commitments, Loans and/or other obligations), and the Agent shall promptly make any such determination by Borrower available to the Lenders in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.1273-2(f)(9).

(c) The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Legal Requirements, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d) The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this §4.4) 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 Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that the determinations in such statement are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

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

(f) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower or any Guarantor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this §4.4, 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 Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by 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 Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Legal Requirements or reasonably requested by Borrower or the Agent as will enable 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:

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to 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 Borrower or the Agent), an electronic copy (or an original if requested by 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 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 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 Parent 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 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 J-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 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 copies 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 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 J-2 or Exhibit J-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 J-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 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 Parent Borrower or the Agent), an electronic copy (or an original if requested by Borrower or the Agent) of any other form prescribed by Legal Requirements 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 Legal Requirements to permit Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) ~~(e) If~~if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding ~~Taxes~~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 Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by ~~law~~Legal Requirements and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by ~~applicable law (~~Legal Requirements (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for 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 (eD), “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 Parent Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h) The Agent shall deliver to Borrower on or prior to the date on which it becomes the Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower) an electronic copy (or an original if requested by Borrower) of an executed IRS Form W-9.

(i) 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 reasonable third party out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party actually incurred 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 had 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.

(j) 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.

(k) In the event it is reasonably necessary to determine the fair market value of the Commitments, Loans and/or other obligations under the Loan Documents for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1273-2(f), the Agent shall assist Borrower as reasonably requested in connection with making such determination (including by using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain quotes and sales prices for the Commitments, Loans and/or other obligations), and the Agent shall promptly make any such determination by Borrower available to the Lenders in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.1273-2(f)(9).

(l) ~~(f)~~ The obligations of Borrower to the Lenders under this Agreement 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 or any of the other Loan Documents; (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or any right which Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates may have at any time against the Lenders (other than the defense of payment to the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or any other Person; (iii) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; (iv) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; and (v) 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 gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any Lender, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

§ 4.5 Computations. All computations of interest on the Advances (other than Base Rate Advances at the prime rate, which shall be based on a 365/366-day year as the case may be) and of other fees to the extent applicable shall be based on a 360-day year and paid for the actual number of days elapsed. Except as otherwise provided in the definition of the term “Interest Period” with respect to LIBOR Rate Advances, 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 Advances 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 Advances. (a) In the event that, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period relating to any LIBOR Rate Advances, the Agent shall determine that adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period, or the Agent shall reasonably determine (or shall receive notice from the Required Lenders that they have determined) that

LIBOR will not accurately and fairly reflect the cost of the Lenders making or maintaining LIBOR Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith give notice of such determination (which shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower and the Lenders absent manifest error) to Borrower and the Lenders. In such event (a, unless an alternative rate of interest is selected in accordance with clause (b) below, (i) any Loan Request with respect to a LIBOR Rate Advance shall be automatically withdrawn and shall be deemed a request

for a Base Rate Loan and (b) each LIBOR Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, become a Base Rate Advance, and the obligations of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent determines that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, whereupon the Agent shall so notify Borrower and the Lenders.

(b) If at any time the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a) have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR Screen Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Agent and Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest (which shall at no time be less than zero percent) to LIBOR that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in §27, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest and a copy of such amendment is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Majority Lenders stating that such Majority Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (b) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this §4.6(b), only to the extent LIBOR Screen Rate for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (1) any notice of conversion/continuation that requests the conversion of any Loan to, or continuation of any Loan as, a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be ineffective and any such Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto and (2) if any Loan Request requests a LIBOR Rate Loan, such Loan shall be made as Base Rate Loan.

§ 4.7 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if after the date hereof any law, regulation, treaty or directive shall be enacted 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 Advances, such Lender shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances to the Agent and Borrower and thereupon (a) the commitment of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Advances shall forthwith be suspended and (b) the LIBOR Rate Advances then outstanding shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Advances on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Advances 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 reasonable 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 Advance or any portion thereof is repaid or is converted to a Base Rate Advance for any reason on a date which is prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Advance, or if repayment of the Advances has been accelerated as provided in § 12.1, 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 Advance; (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 after the date hereof any applicable law, which expression, as used herein, includes statutes, rules and regulations thereunder and interpretations thereof by any competent court or by any governmental or other regulatory body charged with the administration or the interpretation thereof and directives and instructions at any time or from time to time hereafter made upon or otherwise issued to any Lender or the Agent by any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall:any Change in Law shall:

(a) subject any Lender or the Agent to any ~~tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, fee, deduction~~Taxes or withholding of any nature with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, such Lender’s Commitment, ~~or the Advances (other than taxes based upon or measured by the gross receipts, income or profits of such Lender or the Agent or its franchise tax), or~~a Letter of Credit or the Loans (other than for Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and Connection Income Taxes), or

(b) materially change the basis of taxation (except for changes in taxes on gross receipts, income or profits or its franchise tax) of payments to any Lender of the principal of or the interest on the Loan or any other amounts payable to any Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or

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

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

(i) to increase the cost to any Lender of making, funding, issuing, renewing, extending or maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof or such Lender’s Commitment, or

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

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

then, and in each such case, Borrower will (and as to clauses (a) and (b) above, subject to the provisions of § 4.4), within thirty (30) days of demand made by such Lender or (as the case may be) the Agent at any time and from time to time and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay to such Lender or the Agent such additional amounts as such Lender or the Agent shall determine in good faith to be sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Agent for such additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest or other sum. ~~For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this § 4.9 shall not apply with respect to Taxes, which shall be~~

~~governed by § 4.4(b) and § 4.4(c).~~ Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this § 4.9, any change applicable to the banking industry as a whole and lenders generally, and not solely to the Agent or a Lender, based on: (x) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each

§ 4.10 Capital Adequacy. If after the date hereof any Lender determines that (a) the adoption of or change in any law, rule or regulation regarding capital requirements for banks or bank holding companies or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any governmental authority charged with the administration thereofas a result of a Change in Law, or (b) compliance by such Lender or its parent bank holding company with any directive of any such entity regarding capital adequacy or liquidity, has the effect of reducing the return on such Lender’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s commitment to make Advances to a level below that which such Lender or holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such holding company’s then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then such Lender may notify Borrower thereof. Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender the amount of such reduction in the return on capital as and when such reduction is determined, upon presentation by such Lender of a statement of the amount setting forth the Lender’s calculation thereof. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods generally applied by such Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this § 4.10, any change applicable to the banking industry as a whole and lenders generally, and not solely to the Agent or a Lender, based on: (x) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to have occurred ‘after the date hereof’ or ‘after the date of this Agreement’ for purposes of this § 4.10.

§ 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 within fifteen (15) days from receipt of written notice from the Agent.

§ 4.12 Default Interest; Late Charge. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and regardless of whether or not the Agent or the Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loan, the Loan shall bear interest payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to three percent (3.0%) above the interest rate that would otherwise be in effect hereunder (the “Default Rate”), until such amount shall be paid in full (after as well as before judgment), or if any of such amounts shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by law, then at the maximum rate permitted by law. In addition, Borrower shall pay a late charge equal to three percent (3.0%) of any amount of interest and/or principal payable on the Loan or any other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, which is not paid by Borrower within ten (10) days of the date when due.

§ 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 Lender or the Agent to Borrower, shall be presumptively correct in the absence of manifest error.

§ 4.14 Limitation on Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, all agreements between or among Borrower, 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 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 Borrower, the Lenders and the Agent.

§ 4.15 Certain Provisions Relating to Increased Costs and Defaulting Lenders. 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(b) (as a result of the imposition of withholding taxes on amounts paid to such Lender under this Agreement), § 4.9 or § 4.10, then, such Lender, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts in a manner consistent with such institution’s practice in connection with loans like the Loan 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 materially prejudicial to such Lender, including, without limitation, by designating another of such Lender’s offices, branches or affiliates; Borrower agreeing to pay all reasonably incurred costs and expenses incurred by such Lender in connection with any such action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and if any Lender (a) has given notice of the existence of the circumstances set forth in § 4.7 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(b) (as a result of the imposition of withholding taxes on amounts paid to such Lender under this Agreement), § 4.9 or § 4.10 and following the request of Borrower has been unable to take the steps described above to mitigate such amounts (each, an “Affected Lender”) or (b) is a Defaulting Lender, then, within thirty (30) days after such notice or request for payment or compensation or such Lender became a Defaulting Lender, as applicable, Borrower shall have the right as to such Affected Lender or Defaulting Lender, as applicable, to be exercised by delivery of written notice delivered to the Agent and the Affected Lender or Defaulting Lender, as applicable, to elect to cause the Affected Lender or Defaulting Lender, as applicable, 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 Defaulting Lender, as applicable (or if any of such Lenders does not elect to purchase its pro rata share, then to such remaining Lenders in such proportion as approved by the Agent). In the event that the Lenders do not elect to acquire all of the Affected Lender’s or Defaulting 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 or Defaulting Lender, as applicable, the Affected Lender’s or Defaulting Lender’s interest in the Obligations and its rights hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall terminate at the date of purchase, and the Affected Lender or Defaulting Lender, as applicable, shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest. The purchase price for the Affected Lender’s or Defaulting Lender’s Commitment shall equal any and all amounts outstanding and owed by Borrower to the Affected Lender or Defaulting Lender, as applicable, including principal, prepayment premium or fee, and all accrued and unpaid interest or fees.

If Borrower shall request that any Potential Unencumbered Assets or ~~Subsidiary Guarantor~~ Unencumbered Asset be added to the “Revolver Unencumbered Asset Pool” or any other borrowing base or asset pool under any other Unsecured Debt, it shall be required to add such Potential Unencumbered Asset or ~~Subsidiary Guarantor~~ Unencumbered Asset, as applicable, to the Unencumbered Asset Pool hereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no ~~Subsidiary Guarantor~~ Unencumbered Asset or Potential Unencumbered Asset shall be included in the Unencumbered Asset Pool unless and until the following conditions precedent shall have been satisfied:

(i) such ~~Subsidiary Guarantor~~ Unencumbered Asset or Potential Unencumbered Asset shall be Eligible Real Estate;

(iv) after giving effect to the inclusion of such ~~Subsidiary Guarantor~~ Unencumbered Asset or Potential Unencumbered Asset, each of the representations and warranties made by or on behalf of Loan Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries contained in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or in any document or instrument delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement shall be true in all material respects both as of the date as of which it was made and shall also be true as of the time of the replacement or addition of Eligible Real Estate Assets, with the same effect as if made at and as of that time (it being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct only as of such specified date), and no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and the Agent shall have received a certificate of Borrower to such effect.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event such ~~Subsidiary Guarantor~~ Unencumbered Asset or Potential Unencumbered Asset does not qualify as Eligible Real Estate, so long as the conditions set forth in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of this § 5.1 have been satisfied, such ~~Subsidiary Guarantor~~ Unencumbered Asset or Potential Unencumbered Asset shall be included in the Unencumbered Asset Pool and shall be deemed

Eligible Real Estate so long as the Agent shall have received the prior written consent of each of the Lenders to the inclusion of such Real Estate as an Eligible Real Estate Asset.

~~(b) [Reserved].~~

§ 5.2 Release of Eligible Real Estate Assets. Provided no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder and be continuing (or would exist immediately after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this § 5.2), and if the conditions set forth in this § 5.2 are not met, upon reasonable approval by the Required Lenders, the Agent shall release an Eligible Real Estate Asset from the Unencumbered Asset Pool upon the request of Borrower subject to and upon the following terms and conditions:

(c) Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of the Agent, if any, in connection with such release, including without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees;

(d) Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders a release price, which payment shall be applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Loan as provided in § 3.4, in an amount equal to the amount necessary, if any, to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Loan so that no violation of the covenant set forth in § 9.1 shall occur;

(e) without limiting or affecting any other provision hereof, any release of an Eligible Real Estate Asset will not cause Borrower to be in violation of the covenants set forth in § 9.8; and

(f) such Eligible Real Estate Asset has been (or, contemporaneous with the release under this Agreement, will be) released from the Revolver Unencumbered Asset Pool or any other borrowing base or asset pool under any other Unsecured Debt.

For the avoidance of doubt, any Subsidiary or other such entity which becomes an obligor pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement or any agreement evidencing other Unsecured Debt shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor under the Guaranty. Each such Subsidiary shall be specifically authorized, in accordance with its respective organizational documents, to be a Guarantor under the Guaranty. Borrower shall further cause all representations, covenants and agreements in the Loan Documents with respect to Guarantors to be true and correct with respect to each such Subsidiary.

accordance with the terms of this Agreement and from the Revolver Unencumbered Asset Pool or any other borrowing base or asset pool under any other Unsecured Debt, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement or any agreement evidencing other Unsecured Debt, as applicable, then such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released by the Agent from liability under the Guaranty.

(b) Upon the occurrence of the Investment Grade Pricing Date, and provided that no Default or Event of Default exists, the Agent shall promptly release any Subsidiary Guarantor from the Guaranty upon receipt by the Agent of a certificate from an officer of Borrower certifying that such Subsidiary Guarantor has not created, incurred, acquired, assumed, suffered to exist and is not otherwise liable (whether as a borrower, co-borrower, guarantor or otherwise) with respect to any Indebtedness that is Secured Recourse Indebtedness or Consolidated Unsecured Debt (or simultaneously with the release hereunder will be released from liability with respect to such Indebtedness). In the event that at any time after a Subsidiary Guarantor has been released from the Guaranty or from its obligation to become a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to this §5.4, such Subsidiary Guarantor becomes obligated on any Indebtedness (other than ordinary course operating Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor that is otherwise permitted under the terms hereof) or Borrower ceases to have an Investment Grade Rating, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be reinstated and Borrower shall, within ten (10) Business Days (or such later date as agreed by the Agent) after such occurrence, cause such Subsidiary Guarantor required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor under §5.3 of this Agreement to execute and deliver the documents required in said §5.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the foregoing provisions shall not apply to REIT, which may only be released upon the written approval of the Agent and all of the Lenders.

Except as disclosed on Schedule 6.15 hereto, none of the partners, officers, trustees, managers, members, directors, or employees of any ~~Loan~~Transaction Party is, nor shall any such Person become, a party to any transaction with any ~~Loan~~Transaction Party (other than for services as partners, managers, members, employees, officers and directors), including any agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any partner, officer, trustee, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of Borrower, any corporation, partnership, trust or other entity in which any partner, officer, trustee, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner, which are on terms less favorable to ~~Loan~~Transaction Parties than those that would be obtained in a comparable arms-length transaction.

§ 6.16 Employee Benefit Plans. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each ~~Loan~~Transaction Party and each ERISA Affiliate has fulfilled its obligation, if any, under the minimum funding standards of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan, Multiemployer Plan or Guaranteed Pension Plan and is in compliance in all material respects with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan, Multiemployer Plan or Guaranteed Pension Plan. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, neither any Loan Party nor any ERISA Affiliate has (a) sought a waiver of the minimum funding standard under § 412 of the Code in respect of any Multiemployer Plan or Guaranteed Pension Plan or (b) incurred any liability under Title IV of ERISA other than a liability to the PBGC for premiums under Section 4007 of ERISA. Neither any ~~Loan~~Transaction Party nor any ERISA Affiliate has failed to make any contribution or payment to any Multiemployer Plan or Guaranteed Pension Plan, or made any amendment to any Multiemployer Plan or Guaranteed Pension Plan, which has resulted or would reasonably be expected to result in the imposition of a Lien. To the knowledge of Borrower, none of the Eligible Real Estate Assets constitutes a “plan asset” of any Employee Benefit Plan, Multiemployer Plan or Guaranteed Pension Plan.

§ 6.17 Disclosure. All of the representations and warranties made by or on behalf of Loan Parties in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any document or instrument delivered to the Agent or the Lenders pursuant to or in connection with any of such Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects. All information contained in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or otherwise furnished to or made available to the Agent or the Lenders by or on behalf of any Loan Party is and will be true and correct in all material respects and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading when taken as a whole. The written information, reports and other papers and data with respect to ~~Loan~~Transaction Parties, any Subsidiary or the Eligible Real Estate Assets (other than projections and estimates) furnished to the Agent or the Lenders in connection with this Agreement or the obtaining of the Commitments of the Lenders hereunder was, at the time so furnished, correct in all material respects, or has been subsequently supplemented by other written information, reports or other papers or data, to the extent necessary to give in all material respects a true and accurate knowledge of the subject matter in all material respects; provided that such representation shall not apply to (a) the accuracy of any appraisal, title commitment, survey, or engineering and environmental reports prepared by third parties or legal conclusions or analysis provided by Borrower’s counsel (although Borrower has no reason to believe that the Agent and the Lenders may not rely on the accuracy thereof) or (b) budgets, projections and other forward-looking speculative information prepared in good faith by Loan Parties (except to the extent the related assumptions were when made manifestly unreasonable).

§ 6.18 Trade Name; Place of Business. No Loan Party uses any trade name and conducts business under any name other than its actual name set forth in the Loan Documents or “CoreSite(s)”. The principal place of business of Loan Parties is 0000 00xx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, 00000.

§ 6.19 Regulations T, U and X. No portion of the Loan is to be used for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any “margin security” or “margin stock” as such terms are used in Regulations T, U and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 12 C.F.R. Parts 220, 221 and 224. No ~~Loan~~Transaction Party is engaged, nor will it engage, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any “margin security” or “margin stock” as such terms are used in Regulations T, U and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 12 C.F.R.

(a) No Loan Party, none of their respective Subsidiaries, nor to the knowledge and belief of Borrower, any operator of the Real Estate, nor any tenant or operations thereon, is in violation, or alleged violation, of any Environmental Law, which violation could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) No Loan Party nor any of their respective Subsidiaries has received notice from any third party including, without limitation, any federal, state or local governmental authority, (i) that it has been identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) as a potentially responsible party under CERCLA with respect to a site listed on the National Priorities List, 40 C.F.R. Part 000 Xxxxxxxx X (1986); (ii) that any Hazardous Substance(s) which it has generated, transported or disposed of have been found at any site at which a federal, state or local agency or other third party has conducted, or has demanded that any Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries conduct, a remedial investigation, removal or other response action pursuant to any Environmental Law; or (iii) that it is or shall be a named party to any claim, action, cause of action, complaint, or legal or administrative proceeding (in each case, contingent or otherwise) arising

out of any third party’s incurrence of costs, expenses, losses or damages of any kind whatsoever in connection with the release of Hazardous Substances, which in the case of clauses (i) through (iii) above could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) To the knowledge of Borrower, (i) no portion of the Real Estate is used for the handling, processing, storage or disposal of Hazardous Substances except in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, and no underground tank or other underground storage receptacle for Hazardous Substances is located on any portion of the Real Estate except those which are being operated and maintained in compliance with Environmental Laws; (ii) in the course of any activities conducted by Loan Parties, their respective Subsidiaries or, the tenants and operators of their properties, no Hazardous Substances have been generated or are being used on the Real Estate except in the ordinary course of ~~Loan~~Transaction Parties’ or their tenants’ and operators’ business and in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws; (iii) there has been no past or present releasing, spilling, leaking, pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying, discharging, injecting, escaping, disposing or dumping (other than in reasonable quantities to the extent necessary in the ordinary course of operation of ~~Loan~~Transaction Parties’, their tenants’ or operators’ business and, in any event, in compliance with all Environmental Laws) (a “Release”) or threatened Release of Hazardous Substances on, upon, into or from the Eligible Real Estate Assets, which Release would have a material adverse effect on the value of such Real Estate or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (iv) there have been no Releases on, upon, from or into any real property in the vicinity of any of the Real Estate which, through soil or groundwater contamination, may have come to be located on, and which could be reasonably anticipated to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (v) any Hazardous Substances that have been generated on any of the Real Estate have been transported off site in accordance with all applicable Environmental Laws and in a manner that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(d) Except as set forth on Schedule 6.20(d) or for such matters that shall be complied with as of the Closing Date, by virtue of the transactions set forth herein and contemplated hereby, or to the effectiveness of any other transactions contemplated hereby, none of Loan Parties, their respective Subsidiaries nor the Real Estate will become subject to any applicable Environmental Law requiring the performance of environmental site assessments, or the removal or remediation of Hazardous Substances, or the giving of notice to any governmental agency or the recording or delivery to other Persons of an environmental disclosure document or statement pursuant to applicable Environmental Laws.

(e) There are no existing or closed sanitary or solid waste landfills, or hazardous waste treatment, storage or disposal facilities on or, to Borrower’s actual knowledge, affecting the Real Estate except where such existence could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(f) No ~~Loan~~Transaction Party has received any written notice from any party that any use, operation, or condition of ~~Loan~~Transaction Parties’ business on any Real Estate has caused any adverse condition on any other property that could reasonably be expected to result in a claim under applicable Environmental Law that would have a Material Adverse Effect, nor does any ~~Loan~~Transaction Party have actual knowledge of any existing facts or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to form the basis for such a claim.

§ 6.21 Subsidiaries; Organizational Structure. Schedule 6.21(a) sets forth, as of the date hereof and after giving effect to the reorganization previously disclosed to the Agent, all of the Subsidiaries of Borrower, the form and jurisdiction of organization of each of the Subsidiaries, and the owners of the direct and indirect ownership interests therein. Schedule 6.21(b) sets forth, as of the date hereof, all of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, the form and jurisdiction of organization of each of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries, Borrower’s or its Subsidiary’s ownership interest therein and the other

owners of the applicable Unconsolidated Subsidiary. No Person owns any legal, equitable or beneficial interest in any of the Persons set forth on Schedules 6.21(a) and 6.21(b) except as set forth on such Schedules.

§ 6.22 Leases. ~~Loan~~Transaction Parties have delivered to the Agent true and complete copies of the Leases and any amendments thereto relating to each Eligible Real Estate Asset required to be delivered as a part of the Eligible Real Estate Qualification Documents as of the date hereof. An accurate and complete Rent Roll in all material respects as of the date of inclusion of each Eligible Real Estate Asset in the Unencumbered Asset Pool with respect to all Leases of any portion of the Eligible Real Estate Asset has been provided to the Agent. The Leases previously delivered to the Agent as described in the preceding sentence constitute as of the date thereof the sole agreements relating to leasing or licensing of space at such Eligible Real Estate Asset and in the Building relating thereto. No tenant under any Lease is entitled to any free rent, partial rent, rebate of rent payments, credit, offset or deduction in rent, including, without limitation, lease support payments or lease buy-outs, except as reflected in such Leases or such Rent Roll. Except as set forth in Schedule 6.22, the Leases reflected therein are, as of the date of inclusion of the applicable Eligible Real Estate Asset in the Unencumbered Asset Pool, in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms, without any payment default or any other material default thereunder, nor are there any defenses, counterclaims, offsets, concessions or rebates available to any tenant thereunder, and except as reflected in Schedule 6.22, no ~~Loan~~Transaction Party has given or made, any notice of any payment or other material default, or any claim, which remains uncured or unsatisfied, with respect to any of the Leases, and to the best of the knowledge and belief of Borrower, there is no basis for any such claim or notice of default by any tenant which would result in a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower knows of no condition which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute a default on the part of (i) any tenant with respect to the material terms under a Lease or (ii) the respective ~~Loan~~Transaction Party as landlord under the Lease, in either case, that would, in the aggregate with any other defaults under Leases for the applicable Eligible Real Estate Asset, adversely affect more than five percent (5%) of the base rent generated by such Eligible Real Estate Asset. No security deposit or advance rental or fee payment has been made by any lessee or licensor under the Leases except as may be specifically designated in the Leases. No property other than the Eligible Real Estate Asset which is the subject of the applicable Lease is necessary to comply with the material requirements (including, without limitation, parking requirements) contained in such Lease.

§ 6.23 Property. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, all of the Eligible Real Estate Assets, and all major building systems located thereon, are structurally sound, in good condition and working order and free from material defects, subject to ordinary wear and tear, except for such portion of such Real Estate which is not occupied by any tenant and which may not be in final working order pending final build-out of such space or except as where such defects have not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All of the other Real Estate of ~~Loan~~Transaction Parties and their respective Subsidiaries is structurally sound, in good condition and working order, subject to ordinary wear and tear, except for such portion of such Real Estate which is not occupied by any tenant or where such defects have not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Eligible Real Estate Assets, and the use and operation thereof, is in material compliance with all applicable federal and state law and governmental regulations and any local ordinances, orders or regulations, including, without limitation, laws, regulations and ordinances relating to zoning, building codes, subdivision, fire protection, health, safety, handicapped access, historic preservation and protection, wetlands, tidelands, and Environmental Laws except in cases that would not reasonably cause a Material Adverse Effect. All water, sewer, electric, gas, telephone and other utilities necessary for the use and operation of the Eligible Real Estate Asset are installed to the property lines of the Eligible Real Estate Asset through dedicated public rights of way or through perpetual private easements and, except in the case of drainage facilities, are connected to the Building located thereon with valid permits and are adequate to service the Building in material compliance with applicable law. The streets abutting the Eligible Real Estate Asset are dedicated and accepted public roads, to which the Eligible Real Estate Asset has direct access or are perpetual private ways (with direct access to public roads) to which the Eligible Real Estate Asset has direct access. There are no unpaid or outstanding real estate or other taxes or assessments on or against any of the Eligible Real Estate Assets which are payable by any ~~Loan~~Transaction Party (except only real estate or other taxes or assessments, that are not yet delinquent or are being protested as

permitted by this Agreement). Each Eligible Real Estate Asset owned by a ~~Loan~~Transaction Party in fee is separately assessed for purposes of real estate tax assessment and payment. There are no unpaid or outstanding real estate or other taxes or assessments on or against any other property of ~~Loan~~Transaction Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries which are payable by any of such Persons in any material amount (except only real estate or other taxes or assessments, that are not yet delinquent or are being protested as permitted by this Agreement). There are no pending, or to the knowledge of Borrower threatened or contemplated, eminent domain proceedings against any of the Eligible Real Estate Assets. None of the Eligible Real Estate Assets is now damaged in any material respects as a result of any fire, explosion, accident, flood or other casualty. No ~~Loan~~Transaction Party has received any outstanding notice from any insurer or its agent requiring performance of any material work with respect to any of the Eligible Real Estate Assets or canceling or threatening to cancel any policy of insurance, and each of the Eligible Real Estate Assets complies with the material requirements of all of ~~Loan~~Transaction Parties’ insurance carriers. Except as listed on Schedule 6.23, ~~Loan~~Transaction Parties have no Management Agreements for any of the Eligible Real Estate Assets. No person or entity has any right or option to acquire any Eligible Real Estate Asset or any Building thereon or any portion thereof or interest therein, except for certain tenants pursuant to the terms of their Leases with ~~Subsidiary Guarantors~~Pool Owners.

§ 6.24 Brokers. No Loan Party nor any of their respective Subsidiaries has engaged or otherwise dealt with any broker, finder or similar entity in connection with this Agreement or the Loan contemplated hereunder.

§ 6.25 Other Debt. No ~~Loan~~Transaction Party is in default of the payment of any Indebtedness or the performance of any material obligation under any related agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement, financing agreement or indenture to which any of them is a party involving Indebtedness individually or in the aggregate in excess of (x) any Indebtedness which is recourse to Borrower or any of the ~~Subsidiary Guarantors~~Pool Owners (including, without limitation, Secured Recourse Indebtedness) totaling in excess of $25,000,000 or (y) Non-Recourse Indebtedness of Borrower or any of the ~~Subsidiary Guarantors~~Pool Owners totaling in excess of $50,000,000. No ~~Loan~~Transaction Party 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 any ~~Loan~~Transaction Party. Schedule 6.25 hereto sets forth all agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust, financing agreements or other material agreements binding upon ~~Loan~~Transaction Parties or their respective properties and entered into by ~~Loan~~Transaction Parties as of the date of this Agreement with respect to any Indebtedness of ~~Loan~~Transaction Parties, and ~~Loan~~Transaction Parties have provided the Agent with true, correct and complete copies thereof.

§ 6.26 Solvency. As of the Closing Date and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including all Advances made or to be made hereunder, no ~~Loan~~Transaction Party is insolvent on a balance sheet basis such that the sum of such Person’s assets exceeds the sum of such Person’s liabilities, each ~~Loan~~Transaction Party is able to pay its debts as they become due, and each ~~Loan~~Transaction Party has sufficient capital to carry on its business.

§ 6.27 No Bankruptcy Filing. No ~~Loan~~Transaction Party is contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of its assets or property, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against any ~~Loan~~Transaction Party.

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

§ 6.29 Transaction in Best Interests of Loan Parties; Consideration. The transaction evidenced by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents is in the best interests of each Loan Party. The

direct and indirect benefits to inure to Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute substantially more than “reasonably equivalent value” (as such term is used in Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code) and “valuable consideration,” “fair value,” and “fair consideration,” (as such terms are used in any applicable state fraudulent conveyance law), in exchange for the benefits to be provided by Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and but for the willingness of each Subsidiary Guarantor to be a guarantor of the Loan, Borrower would be unable to obtain the financing contemplated hereunder which financing will enable Loan Parties to have available financing to conduct and expand their business.

§ 6.30 OFAC. ~~No Loan Party~~Neither REIT, nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor, to the knowledge of Borrower, any director, officer or employee thereof, is an individual or entity that is, or is owned or controlled directly by any individual or entity that (i) is (or will be) a person with whom any Lender is restricted from doing business under OFAC (including, those Persons named on OFAC’s Specially Designated and Blocked Persons list) or under any statute, executive order (including the September 24, 2001 Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action and is not and shall not engage in any dealings or transactions or otherwise be associated ~~with such persons~~Sanctioned Person, (ii) is (or will be) located, organized or resident, or has its assets located, in a Designated Jurisdiction, (iii) is (or will be) engaged in any transaction with any Sanctioned Person or any Person who is located, organized or resident in any Designated Jurisdiction to the extent that such transactions would violate Sanctions, or (iv) is violating or will be violating any Anti-Money Laundering Law in any material respect. No Loan, nor the proceeds from any Loan, has been used, directly or knowingly indirectly, or has otherwise been made available to fund any activity or business in any Designated Jurisdiction or to fund any activity or business with any Sanctioned Person, or in any other manner that will result in a violation by any Loan Party or Subsidiary thereof, or any Lender or the Agent, of Sanctions. Each of the Loan Parties and its Subsidiaries, and, to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, each director, officer, employee, and agent of the Loan Parties and each such Subsidiary, is in compliance with the Anti-Corruption Laws in all material respects. The Loan Parties have implemented and maintain in effect policies and procedures reasonably designed to promote and achieve compliance with the Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions. In addition, ~~Borrower~~Loan Parties hereby ~~agrees~~agree to provide to the Lenders any additional information that a Lender reasonably deems necessary from time to time in order to ensure compliance with all applicable laws concerning money laundering and similar activities.

removal and reduction shall be completed within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of such Default from the Agent or the Required Lenders.

§ 12.4 Remedies. To the extent permitted by applicable law, 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 Loan pursuant to § 12.1, the Agent on behalf of the Lenders may, and upon 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 Loan 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 any Loan Party fails to perform any agreement or covenant contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents beyond any applicable period for notice and cure, the Agent may itself perform, or cause to be performed, any agreement or covenant of such Person contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents which such Person shall fail to perform, and the out-of-pocket costs of such performance, together with any reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred (including attorneys’ fees incurred in any appeal) by the Agent in connection therewith, shall be payable by Loan Parties upon demand and shall constitute a part of the Obligations and shall if not paid within thirty (30) days after demand bear interest at the rate for overdue amounts as set forth in this Agreement. In the event that all or any portion of the Obligations is collected by or through an attorney-at-law, Loan Parties shall pay all costs of collection including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees.

(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 accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents 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 the following order:

(i) to any other fees and expenses due to the Lenders under the Loan Documents until paid in full;

(ii) to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the Loan, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, until paid in full;

(iii) payments of unpaid principal of the Advances and amounts constituting obligations under any Approved Derivatives Contract, to be paid to the Lenders and/or any counterparty under an Approved Derivatives Contract, equally and ratably in accordance with the respective amounts thereof then due and owing to such Persons until paid in full;

(iv) to payment of all other amounts due under any of the Loan Documents to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Agent and/or the Lenders until paid in full.

SECTION 13

SETOFF

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 or any Affiliate thereof to Borrower and any securities or other property of Borrower in the possession of such Lender or any Affiliate may, without notice to Borrower (any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower) but with the prior written approval of the Agent, be applied to or set off against the payment of Obligations and any and all other liabilities, direct, or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, of Borrower to such Lender. Each of the Lenders agrees with each other Lender that if such Lender shall receive from Borrower, 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.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of § 14.16 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 (y) 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. The rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or its Affiliates may have.

SECTION 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 and all other powers not specifically reserved to the Lenders, 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 Agent shall act as the contractual representative of the Lenders hereunder, and notwithstanding the use of the term “Agent”, it is understood and agreed that the Agent shall not have any fiduciary duties or responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and is acting as an independent contractor, the duties and responsibilities of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

§ 14.3 No Liability. Neither the Agent nor any of its shareholders, directors, officers or employees nor any other Person assisting them in their duties nor any agent, or employee thereof, shall be liable for (a) any waiver, consent or approval given or any action taken, or omitted to be taken, in good faith by it or them hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, or be responsible for the consequences of any oversight or error of judgment whatsoever, except that the Agent or such other Person, as the case may be, shall be liable for losses due to its willful misconduct or gross negligence as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the expiration of all applicable appeal periods or (b) any action taken or not taken by the Agent with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such larger percentage of Lenders as may be required hereunder). 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 Loan Parties 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 Loan Parties 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 (except that the Agent shall confirm receipt of the items required to be delivered to it in §§ 10 and 11 hereof). The Agent shall not be bound to ascertain whether any notice, consent, waiver or request delivered to it by Loan Parties 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 Loan Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or the value of the Unencumbered Asset Pool or any other assets of Loan Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any 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 Lender, based upon such information and documents as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Agent’s Special Counsel has only represented the Agent and RBC in connection with the Loan Documents and the only attorney client relationship or duty of care is between the Agent’s Special Counsel and the Agent or RBC. Each Lender has been independently represented by separate counsel on all matters regarding the Loan Documents.

§ 14.5 Payments.

(a) A payment by Loan Parties 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. In the event that the Agent fails to distribute such amounts within one Business Day as provided above, the Agent shall pay interest on such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. 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 of Borrower hereunder shall be applied in accordance with §14.16.

(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, reasonable expenses (including any expenses for which the Agent has not been reimbursed by Borrower as required by § 15 and without limiting Borrower’s obligation to do so), and liabilities of every nature and character arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Notes, or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated or evidenced hereby or thereby, or the Agent’s actions taken hereunder or thereunder, except to the extent that any of the same shall be directly caused by the Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the expiration of all applicable appeal periods. The agreements in this § 14.7 shall survive the payment of all amounts payable under the Loan Documents.

§ 14.8 The Agent as Lender. In its individual capacity, RBC shall have the same obligations and the same rights, powers and privileges in respect to its Commitment and the Advances 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 Loan Parties. The Required Lenders may remove the Agent from its capacity as Agent in the event of the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or, to the extent permitted by Legal Requirements, if the Person serving as Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) or clause (e) of the definition thereof. Upon any such resignation, or removal, the Required Lenders, subject to the terms of § 18.1, shall have the right to appoint as a successor Agent 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; provided that any such replacement Agent shall have a Commitment Percentage of not less than ten percent (10%). Unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such successor Agent shall be reasonably acceptable to Loan Parties. 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 or the Required Lender’s removal of the Agent, then the retiring or removed Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be any Lender or any financial institution 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. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent, and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder as the Agent. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal, 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. Upon any change in the Agent under this Agreement, the resigning or removed Agent shall execute such assignments of and amendments to the Loan Documents as may be necessary to substitute the successor Agent for the resigning or removed Agent.

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

§ 14.11 Bankruptcy. In the event a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding is commenced by or against any Loan Party 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.

§ 14.12 Intentionally Omitted.

§ 14.13 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 an Advance, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Advance. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

§ 14.14 Approvals. If consent is required for some action under this Agreement, or except as otherwise provided herein an approval of the Lenders or the Required 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 the Agent, such Lender shall in such notice to the Agent describe the actions that would be acceptable to such Lender.~~ If consent is required for the requested action, any Lender’s failure to respond to a request for Directions within the required time period shall be deemed to constitute a Direction to take such requested action. In the event that any recommendation is not approved by the requisite number of Lenders and a subsequent approval on the same subject matter is requested by the Agent, then for the purposes of this paragraph each Lender shall be required to respond to a request for Directions within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such request. The Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to assume that any officer of the other Lenders delivering any notice, consent, certificate or other writing is authorized to give such notice, consent, certificate or other writing unless the Agent and such other Lenders have otherwise been notified in writing.

§ 14.15 Loan Parties 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 Loan Parties, and except for the provisions of § 14.9, may be modified or waived without the approval or consent of Loan Parties.

§ 14.16 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements:

(i) That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in § 27.

(ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Agent by that 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 that Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, as Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Advances in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; third, if so determined by the Agent and Loan Parties, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Advances under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists or non-defaulting Lenders have been paid in full all amounts then due, to the payment of any amounts owing to Loan Parties as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Loan Parties against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advance in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Advance was made at a time when the conditions set forth in § 11 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of that 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 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) [Intentionally Omitted].

(iv) [Intentionally Omitted].

(b) ~~(v)~~ During any period that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, Loan Parties may, by giving written notice thereof to the Agent, such Defaulting Lender, and the other Lenders, demand that such Defaulting Lender assign its Commitment to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of § 18.1, with Loan Parties being obligated to pay the applicable assignment fee due under § 18.2 in the event same is not paid by the Defaulting Lender, provided further that the amount of such fee shall be deducted from any payments to be made to the Defaulting Lender under this § 14.16(a)(v). No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. In addition, any Lender who is not a Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, in its sole discretion, acquire the face amount of all or a portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment via an assignment subject to and in accordance with the provisions of § 18.1. 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 with any applicable amounts held pursuant to the immediately preceding subsection (ii), upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of Loan Parties and the Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Advances 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) such Defaulting Lender’s full pro rata share of all Advances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under any Legal Requirement 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.

(c) 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 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, (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 §14.16(a)(ii).

§ 14.17 ~~(b)~~ Defaulting Lender Cure. If Loan Parties 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 effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loan to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Commitment Percentage (without giving effect to § 14.16(a)(iv)), whereupon that 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 Loan Parties while that 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 that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

§ 14.18 Certain ERISA Matters. (a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of the Agent and each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Obligations of such Lender in respect of the Advances, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Obligations of such Lender in respect of the Advances, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Obligations of such Lender in respect of the Advances, the Commitments and this Agreement.

(b) In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender, such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of each Agent and each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of Borrower or any other Loan Party, that:

(i) none of the Agent, the Arrangers or their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by any Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related to hereto or thereto),

(ii) the Person making the investment decision on behalf of such Lender with respect to the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Obligations of such Lender in respect of the Advances, the Commitments and this Agreement is independent (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-21) and is a bank, an insurance carrier, an investment adviser, a broker-dealer or other person that has under management or control, total assets of at least $50 million, in each case as described in 29 CFR § 2510.3-21(c)(1)(A)-(E),

(iii) the Person making the investment decision on behalf of such Lender with respect to the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Obligations of such Lender in respect of the Advances, the Commitments and this Agreement is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to particular transactions and investment strategies,

(iv) the Person making the investment decision on behalf of such Lender with respect to the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Obligations of such Lender in respect of the Advances, the Commitments and this Agreement is a fiduciary under ERISA or the Code, or both, with respect to the Advances, the Commitments and this Agreement and is responsible for exercising independent judgment in evaluating the transactions hereunder, and

(v) no fee or other compensation is being paid by such Lender or any of its Affiliates or agents directly to the Agent, any Arranger or any of their respective Affiliates for investment advice (as opposed to other services) in connection with the Advances, the Commitments or this Agreement.

The Agent and each Arranger hereby informs the Lenders that each such Person is not undertaking to provide impartial investment advice, or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that such Person has a financial interest in the transactions contemplated hereby in that such Person or an Affiliate thereof (i) may receive interest or other payments with respect to the Advances, the Commitments and this Agreement, (ii) may recognize a gain if it extended the Advances or the Commitments for an amount less than the amount being paid for an interest in the Advances or the Commitments by such Lender or (iii) may receive fees or other payments in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, the Loan Documents or otherwise, including, without limitation, structuring fees, commitment fees, arrangement fees, facility fees, upfront fees, underwriting fees, ticking fees, agency fees, administrative agent or collateral agent fees, utilization fees, minimum usage fees, letter of credit fees, fronting fees, deal-away or alternate transaction fees, amendment fees, processing fees, term out premiums, banker’s acceptance fees, breakage or other early termination fees or fees similar to the foregoing.

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, Loan Parties and REIT.

§ 18.2 Register. The Agent shall maintain on behalf of Loan Parties 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 and interest on the Loan owing to the Lenders from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and Loan Parties, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Loan Parties and the Lenders at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon each such recordation, the assigning Lender agrees to pay to the Agent a registration fee in the sum of $3,500, which the Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive in the case of any assignment.

§ 18.3 New Notes. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement executed by the parties to such assignment, together with each Note subject to such assignment, the Agent shall record the information contained therein in the Register. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of notice of such assignment from the Agent, Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Agent, in exchange for each surrendered Note, a new Note (if requested by the subject Lender) 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 Borrower.

§ 18.4 Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Loan Parties or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or Loan Parties or any Loan Party’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the portion of the Loan owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) Loan Parties, the Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification

described in § 27(a), (b), (c) or (h) that affects such Participant. Loan Parties agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of §§ 4.4, 4.9 and 4.10 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to § 18.1; provided a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under §§ 4.9 and 4.10 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrower’s prior written consent. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of § 13 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to § 13 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts of (and stated interest on) each Participant’s interest in the Loan 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 Commitment, the Loan 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, proposed Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Treasury Regulations and any amended, replacement or successor authority. 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. Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it, if any), including in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the central bank of any country in which such Lender is organized. 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. Borrower shall not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each of the Lenders.

§ 18.7 Disclosure. Each of the Agents, the Arrangers and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential and provided further that such Persons who are not employees of such Affiliate are advised of the provision of this §18.7 and sign a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to Loan Parties), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, it being understood that in the event that Agents, Arrangers and Lenders are requested or required by law or regulations to disclose any of the Information, they shall provide Loan Parties with prompt written notice, unless such notice is prohibited by law, of any such request or requirement so that Loan Parties may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to a confidentiality agreement containing provisions at least as restrictive as those of this Section, (i) to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and (ii) to any actual or prospective party (or its managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives, provided that such Persons who are

not employees of such prospective party are also advised of the provision of this §18.7 and sign a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to Loan Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to Loan Parties and their obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (g) to any rating agency, (h) to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization, (i) with the consent of Borrower, (j) to external auditors as may be required by a Lender’s policies or policies of any governmental or ~~quasi governmental~~quasi-governmental entity affecting a Lender, or (k) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this § 18.7 or (ii) becomes available to the Agent, such Arranger or such Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than any Loan Party or any of their Subsidiaries without the Agent, such Arranger or such Lender or any of their respective Affiliates having knowledge that a duty of confidentiality to Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries has been breached. In addition, the Agent, Arrangers and Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Agent, Arrangers and Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information that any Loan Party furnishes to the Agent, any Arranger or any Lender in writing designated as confidential, but does not include any such information that is or becomes generally available to the public other than by way of a breach of the confidentiality provisions of this § 18.7 or that is or becomes available to the Agent, such Arranger or such Lender from a source other than Loan Parties, the Agent, the Arranger or any Lender and not in violation of any confidentiality agreement with respect to such information that is actually known to the Agent, such Arranger or such Lender. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

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

§ 18.9 Mandatory Assignment. In the event Borrower requests that any amendment, modification or waiver be made to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents which request is approved by the Agent but is not approved by one or more of the Lenders or such Lender fails to respond within ten (10) days after the first date on which such consent was solicited in writing from the Lenders by the Agent (any such non-consenting or non-responding Lender shall hereafter be referred to as the “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, within thirty (30) days after the expiration of such ten (10) day period (or, if earlier, Borrower’s receipt of notice of such disapproval by such Non-Consenting Lender), Borrower shall have the right as to such Non-Consenting Lender, to be exercised by delivery of written notice delivered to the Agent and the Non-Consenting Lender within thirty (30) days of the earlier of expiration of such period or receipt of such notice, to elect to cause the Non-Consenting Lender to transfer all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all of its Commitment Percentage and Commitment and the same portion of the Loan at the time owing to it and the Notes held by it) (collectively, the “Transferred Interest”) to a Lender or a Replacement Lender. The Agent shall promptly (but in any event, no later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice from Borrower) notify the remaining Lenders (each such notice, the “Lender Offer Notice”) that each of such Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire a portion of the Transferred Interest, 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 Transferred Interest within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the Lender Offer Notice, then Borrower may endeavor to find a new Lender or Lenders to acquire such remaining portion of the Transferred Interest, such Lender or Lenders to be subject to the approval of the Agent, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld (such Lender, the “Replacement Lender”). Upon any such purchase of the Transferred Interest of the Non-Consenting Lender, the Non-Consenting Lender’s interests in the Obligations and its rights hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall terminate at the date of purchase, and the Non-Consenting Lender shall promptly execute and deliver any and all documents reasonably requested by the Agent to surrender and transfer such Transferred Interest, including, without limitation, an Assignment and Acceptance

Agreement and such Non-Consenting Lender’s original Note (if any). Notwithstanding anything in this § 18.10 to the contrary, any Lender or other Lender assignee acquiring some or all of the Transferred Interest of the Non-Consenting Lender must consent to the proposed amendment, modification or waiver. The purchase price to be paid by the acquiring Lenders for the Non-Consenting Lender’s Transferred Interest shall equal the principal owed to such Non-Consenting Lender, and Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in addition thereto and as a condition to such sale any and all other amounts outstanding and owed by Loan Parties to the Non-Consenting Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, including all accrued and unpaid interest or fees which would be owed to such Non-Consenting Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents if the Loan were to be repaid in full on the date of such purchase of the Non-Consenting Lender’s Transferred Interest. No registration fee under § 18.2 shall be required in connection with such assignment. If such Non-Consenting Lender does not execute and deliver to the Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect such replacement within a period of time deemed reasonable by the Agent (but in any event, no later than five (5) Business Days) after the later of (i) the date on which the Replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation and (ii) the date on which the Non-Consenting Lender receives all payments required to be paid to it by this § 18.10, then such Non-Consenting Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation as of such date and Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation on behalf of such assigning Lender.

SECTION 27

CONSENTS, AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS, ETC.

§ 27.1 Amendments Generally. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any consent or approval required or permitted by this Agreement may be given, and any term of this Agreement or of any other instrument related hereto or mentioned herein may be amended, and the performance or observance by Borrower of any terms of this Agreement or such other instrument or the continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Required Lenders, which consent, approval or waiver (as applicable), or other action permitted to be taken by the Required Lenders hereunder, shall be binding on the Agent (subject to §14.10) and the Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment, waiver or consent shall result in: (a) a reduction in the rate of interest on the Notes (other than a reduction or waiver of default interest) without the written consent of each Lender entitled to receive such amount; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, an amendment to any financial covenant hereunder (or any defined term used therein), even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Advance, shall require the consent of the Required Lenders; (b) an increase in the amount of

the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender; (c) a forgiveness, reduction, or waiver of the principal of any unpaid Advance or any interest thereon or fee payable under the Loan Documents due to the Lenders (or any of them) (other than a reduction or waiver of default interest) without the written consent of each Lender entitled to receive such payment; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, an amendment to any financial covenant hereunder (or any defined term used therein), even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Advance or reduce any fee payable hereunder, shall require the written consent of the Required Lenders; (d) a change in the amount of any fee payable to a Lender hereunder without the written consent of each Lender entitled to receive such payment; (e) the postponement of any date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on the Loan or fee payable under the Loan Documents due to the Lenders (or any of them) without the written consent of each Lender entitled to receive such payment; (f) an extension of the Maturity Date with respect to the Commitment and Advances of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender; (g) a change in the manner of distribution of any payments to the Lenders or the Agent without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; (h) the release of Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor except as otherwise provided in §5.2 or §5.4; (i) an amendment of the definition of Required Lenders or of any requirement for consent by all of the Lenders without the written consent of all Lenders; (j) any modification to require a Lender to fund a pro rata share of a request for an advance of the Loan made by Borrower other than based on its Commitment Percentage without the written consent of all Lenders; (k) an amendment to this § 27 without the written consent of all Lenders; (l) an amendment or modification to the definition of Unencumbered Asset Pool Availability (or any defined term referenced therein) which would result in an increase in availability derived from Leased Assets without the written consent of all Lenders; or (m) an amendment of any provision of this Agreement or the Loan Documents which requires the approval of all of the Lenders or the Required Lenders to require a lesser number of Lenders to approve such action without the written consent of all Lenders. The provisions of § 14 may not be amended without the written consent of the Agent. 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. 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 (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

§ 27.2 Technical Amendments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including this §27, this Agreement may be amended by Borrower and the Agent to provide for any Commitment Increase in the manner contemplated by §2.11. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this §27, if the Agent and Borrower have jointly identified an ambiguity, omission, mistake or defect in any provision of this Agreement or an inconsistency between provisions of this Agreement, the Agent and Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision or provisions to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency so long as to do so would not materially adversely affect the interests of the Lenders. Any such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any of other party to this Agreement. The Agent shall provide a copy of each such amendment to the Lenders promptly after execution thereof.

§ 27.3 Revolver Provisions. The provisions in §§ 5.1 through 5.4, § 6, §§ 7.2 through 7.22, § 8, § 9 and § 12.1 of this Agreement, including, in each case, any associated definitions in § 1.1, contain essentially the same provisions with respect to REIT, Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries as those contained in §§ 5.1 through 5.4, § 6, §§ 7.2 through 7.22, § 8, § 9 and § 12.1 of the Existing Credit Agreement and in the associated definitions in the Existing Credit Agreement (the “Revolver Provisions”). In the event that there is (x) an approval by the “Required Lenders” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) of the addition of Eligible Real Estate in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Pool Value which does not meet one or more of

the Unencumbered Property conditions set forth in § 5.1, or (y) a proposal to modify, waive or restate, or request a consent or approval with respect to, the Revolver Provisions (including any associated definitions) of the Existing Credit Agreement in writing (which may include a written waiver of an existing actual or potential default or event of default that is intended to be eliminated by such modification, restatement or waiver) (each of the foregoing in clauses (x) and (y), a “Proposed Modification”), then (A) any Lender under this Agreement shall be deemed to have automatically approved the Proposed Modification hereunder of any corresponding Revolver Provisions contained in this Agreement for purposes of determining if the requisite approvals hereunder have been obtained if such Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender approved the Proposed Modification under the Existing Credit Agreement in its capacity as a “Lender” under the Existing Credit Agreement and (B) in the case that the Lenders under this Agreement described in clause (A) above constitute the Required Lenders hereunder, then simultaneously with the agreement to or granting of such Proposed Modification under the Existing Credit Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed modified or restated, or such waiver, consent or approval granted, in a manner consistent with the Proposed Modifications under the Existing Credit Agreement, unless such modification, restatement, waiver, consent or approval requires the consent of each Lender or each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby under the terms of this § 27. If requested by Borrower or the Agent, Borrower, REIT, Loan Parties and each approving Lender (including any Lender deemed to have approved pursuant to this § 27) shall execute and deliver a written amendment to, restatement of, or waiver, consent or approval under, this Agreement memorializing such modification, restatement, waiver, consent or approval.

SECTION 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.

All conditions to the performance of the obligations of the Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement, including the obligation to make Advances, 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 Advances 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 Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries of any development or the absence therefrom of defects.

Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Lenders have made available to Borrower certain financial accommodations on the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement;

WHEREAS, Borrower and each Guarantor, through separate legal entities, are mutually dependent on each other in the conduct of their respective businesses as an integrated operation and have determined it to be in their mutual best interests to obtain financing from the Agent and the Lenders through their collective efforts;

WHEREAS, each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the Agent and the Lenders making such financial accommodations available to Borrower under the Loan Agreement and, accordingly, each Guarantor is willing to guarantee Borrower’s obligations to the Agent and the Lenders on the terms and conditions contained herein; and

WHEREAS, each Guarantor’s execution and delivery of this Guaranty is one of the conditions precedent to the Agent and the Lenders making, or continuing to make, such financial accommodations to Borrower.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by each Guarantor, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

Guarantor hereunder;provided, however, that “Obligations” shall not include any indebtedness or obligations constituting Excluded Swap Obligations (as defined in the Loan Agreement).

Section 2. Guaranty of Payment and Not of Collection. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment, and not of collection, and a debt of each Guarantor for its own account. Accordingly, the Lenders and the Agent shall not be obligated or required before enforcing this Guaranty against any Guarantor: (a) to pursue any right or remedy the Lenders or the Agent may have against Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or commence any suit or other proceeding against Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person in any court or other tribunal; (b) to make any claim in a liquidation or bankruptcy of Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person; or (c) to make demand of Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person. In this connection, each Guarantor hereby waives its right to require any holder of the Obligations to take action against Borrower as provided by any legal requirement of any Governmental Authority.

Section 3. Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Obligations will be paid in accordance with the terms of the documents evidencing the same, regardless of any legal requirement now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Agent or the Lenders with respect thereto. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional in accordance with its terms and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever (other than the full and final payment and performance of the Obligations), including, without limitation, the following (whether or not each Guarantor consents thereto or has notice thereof):

(a) (i) any change in the amount, interest rate or due date or other term of any of the Obligations; (ii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of all or any portion of the Obligations; (iii) any amendment or waiver of, or consent to the departure from or other indulgence with respect to, the Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other document or instrument evidencing or relating to any Obligations; or (iv) any waiver, renewal, extension, addition, or supplement to, or deletion from, or any other action or inaction under or in respect of, the Loan Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other documents, instruments or agreements relating to the Obligations or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing any Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing;

(d) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to any other Guarantor, Borrower or any other Person, or any action taken with respect to this Guaranty by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding;

(e) any failure of the Agent or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy against any Loan Party under the provisions of the Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise or against any other party with respect to any of the Obligations;

(f) ~~(e)~~ any act or failure to act by Borrower or any other Person which may adversely affect any Guarantor’s subrogation rights, if any, against Borrower to recover payments made under this Guaranty;

(g) ~~(f)~~ any application of sums paid by Borrower or any other Person with respect to the liabilities of Borrower to the Agent or the Lenders, regardless of what liabilities of Borrower remain unpaid;

(h) ~~(g)~~ any defect, limitation or insufficiency in the borrowing powers of Borrower or in the exercise thereof; or

(i) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of Borrower or any other Loan Party;

(j) any statement, representation or warranty made or deemed made by or on behalf of Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Loan Party under any Loan Document or any amendment hereto or thereto, proves to have been incorrect or misleading in any respect; or

(k) ~~(h)~~ any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Guarantor hereunder.

Section 4. Action with Respect to Obligations. The Lenders and the Agent may in accordance with the Loan Agreement, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, and without discharging any Guarantor from its obligations hereunder take any and all actions described in Section 3 and may otherwise: (a) amend, modify, alter or supplement the terms of any of the Obligations, including, but not limited to, extending or shortening the time of payment of any of the Obligations or the interest rate that may accrue on any of the Obligations; (b) amend, modify, alter or supplement the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document; (c) release any Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of the Obligations; (d) exercise, or refrain from exercising, any rights against Borrower or any other Person (including, without limitation, any other Guarantor); and (e) apply any sum, by whomsoever paid or however realized, to the Obligations in such order as the Lenders or the Agent shall elect in accordance with the Loan Agreement.

Section 5. Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor hereby makes to the Agent and the Lenders all of the representations and warranties made by Borrower with respect to or in any way relating to such Guarantor in the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as if the same were set forth herein in full.

Section 6. Covenants. Each Guarantor will comply with all covenants which Borrower is to cause such Guarantor to comply with under the terms of the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Documents.

Section 7. Waiver. Each Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof or any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, and any other act or thing, or omission or delay to do any other act or thing, which in any manner or to any extent might vary the risk of such Guarantor or which otherwise might operate to discharge such Guarantor from its obligations hereunder.

Section 8. Inability to Accelerate Loan. If the Agent and/or the Lenders are prevented from demanding or accelerating payment thereof by reason of any automatic stay or otherwise, the Agent and/or the Lenders shall be entitled to receive from each Guarantor, upon demand therefor, the sums which otherwise would have been due had such demand or acceleration occurred.

Section 9. Reinstatement of Obligations. Each Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty and each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, with respect to any Obligations if at any time payment of any such Obligations is rescinded or returned or otherwise must be restored by the Agent and/or the Lenders upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of

Borrower or ~~Guarantor or otherwise~~otherwise, and in such case, each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

Section 10. Subrogation. Until all of the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, any right of subrogation a Guarantor may have shall be subordinate to the rights of Agent and the Lenders and each Guarantor hereby waives any right to enforce any remedy which the Agent and/or the Lenders now have or may hereafter have against Borrower.

Section 11. Payments Free and Clear. All sums payable by any Guarantor hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any tax or other charge; provided that if any Guarantor shall be required by applicable law to deduct any taxes or other charge from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the Agent or any Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made; (ii) such Guarantor shall make such deductions and (iii) such Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

Section 12. Set-off. Each Guarantor hereby grants to Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, a security interest in and lien on all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by Agent to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, the Agent and each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final but excluding any funds held by Borrower on behalf of tenants or other third parties) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such ~~Lender~~Person to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor against any of and all the obligations of such Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Guaranty held by the Agent or such Lender then due and payable.

Section 13. Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby expressly covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders that all obligations and liabilities of Borrower or any other Guarantor to such Guarantor of whatever description, including without limitation, all intercompany receivables of such Guarantor from Borrower or any other Guarantor (collectively, the “Junior Claims”) shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Obligations; provided, however, that payment thereof may be made so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then no Guarantor shall accept any direct or indirect payment (in cash, property, securities by setoff or otherwise) from Borrower or any other Guarantor on account of or in any manner in respect of any Junior Claim until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full.

Section 14. Acknowledgement of Benefits; Contribution; Avoidance Provisions.

(a) Acknowledgement of Benefits. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it has received, or will receive, significant financial and other benefits, either directly or indirectly, from the proceeds of the Loan made by the Lenders to Borrower pursuant to the Loan Agreement; that the benefits received by each Guarantor are reasonably equivalent consideration for such Guarantor’s execution of this Guaranty; and that such benefits include, without limitation, the access to capital afforded to Borrower pursuant to the Loan Agreement from which the activities of such Guarantor will be supported, as applicable. Each Guarantor is executing this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents in consideration of those benefits received by it. This Guaranty is independent of (and shall not be limited by) any other guaranty now existing or hereafter given. Further, each Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty is in addition to any and all other liability such Guarantor may have in any other capacity, including without limitation, any other credit facilities or guaranties between and among the Agent, the Lenders and such Guarantor in connection with Borrower.

(b) Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that, in connection with payments made hereunder, such Guarantor shall have a right of contribution from each other Guarantor of the Loan in accordance with applicable law. Such contribution rights shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Obligations until such time as the Obligations have been indefeasibly and irrevocably paid in full, and none of the Guarantors shall exercise any such contribution rights until the Obligations have been indefeasibly and irrevocably paid in full.

(c) ~~Section 14.~~ Avoidance Provisions. It is the intent of each Guarantor, the Agent and the Lenders that in any Proceeding, ~~each~~such Guarantor’s maximum obligation hereunder shall equal, but not exceed, the maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Agent and the Lenders) to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Guarantor in such Proceeding as a result of applicable law, including without limitation, (a) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended (the “Bankruptcy Code”) and (b) any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in such Proceeding, whether by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. The applicable laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Agent and the Lenders) shall be determined in any such Proceeding are referred to as the “Avoidance Provisions.” Accordingly, to the extent that the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Obligations for which such Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, as of the time any of the Obligations are deemed to have been incurred under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of any Guarantor to the Agent and the Lenders), to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions. This Section is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, and no Guarantor nor any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section as against the Agent and the Lenders that would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.

Section 15. Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of Borrower, of the other Guarantors and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Agent or any Lender shall have any duty whatsoever to advise such Guarantor of information regarding such circumstances or risks.

Section 16. Governing Law. THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SECTION 5-1401.

Section 17. ~~Jurisdiction; Venue~~JURISDICTION; VENUE; JURY WAIVER.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Guaranty shall affect any right that the Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Guaranty or any other Loan Document against the Guarantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section.
