WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Agent and the Lenders make term loans to the Borrower in the aggregate amount of up to $300,000,000, and the Agent and the Lenders are willing to make such term loans on the terms and conditions contained herein. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the recitals herein and mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto hereby covenant and agree as follows: ARTICLE I.

For purposes of this definition, “control” (including with correlative meanings, the terms “controlling”, “controlled by” and “under common control with”) means the possession directly or indirectly of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities or by contract or otherwise. In no event shall the Agent or any Lender be deemed to be an Affiliate of the Borrower. “Agent” means JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in its capacity as administrative agent for the Lenders under the terms of this Agreement, and any of its successors. “Agent Parties” has the meaning given to that term in Section 12.1. “Agreement Date” means the date as of which this Agreement is dated. “Alternate Base Rate” means for any day, a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1% and (c) the LIBOR Rate for a one month Interest Period on such day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) plus 1%, provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the LIBOR Rate for any day shall be based on the LIBO Screen Rate at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time on such day, unless such rate is not available pursuant to Section 4.2, in which case the utilization of the LIBOR Rate for determining the Alternate Base Rate shall be suspended. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the LIBOR Rate shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the LIBOR Rate, respectively. “Anti-Corruption Laws” means all laws, rules, and regulations of any jurisdiction applicable to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates from time to time concerning or relating to bribery or corruption. “Applicable Credit Ratings” means the Borrower’s corporate credit or issuer ratings (which may be a private rating) issued by S&P or Xxxxx’x. “Applicable Law” means all applicable provisions of constitutions, statutes, rules, regulations and orders of all governmental bodies and all orders and decrees of all courts, tribunals and arbitrators. “Applicable Margin” means, for any day with respect to any Loans, the applicable rate per annum set forth below under the caption “Base Rate - Applicable Margin” or “LIBOR Rate - Applicable Margin”, as the case may be, based upon the Rating of the Borrower in the table below:

RATINGS LEVEL	XXXXX’X/ S&P APPLICABLE CREDIT RATING	BASE RATE - APPLICABLE MARGIN	LIBOR RATE ‑ APPLICABLE MARGIN

Level II Rating	Baa2/BBB	0.15%	1.15%
Level III Rating	Baa3/BBB-	0.40%	1.40%
Level IV Rating	Below Baa3/BBB-	0.80%	1.80%

For purposes hereof (A) if the Borrower has only one Rating, such Rating shall determine pricing, (B) if the Borrower has two Ratings and the Ratings of the Rating Agencies do not match, then the higher of two Applicable Credit Ratings shall determine pricing; provided, however, that if the two Applicable Credit Ratings are two gradations apart, then the rating that is between the two differing Applicable Credit Ratings shall determine pricing and (C) if the Applicable Credit Ratings established or deemed to have been established by the Rating Agencies for such debt of the Borrower shall be changed (other than as a result of change in the rating system of any such Rating Agency), such change shall be effective as of the date on which it is first announced by the applicable Rating Agency, irrespective of when notice of such change shall have been furnished by the Borrower to the Agent and the Lenders pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents. Each change in the Applicable Margin under this clause (i) shall apply during the period commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such changes. If the rating system of a Rating Agency shall change, the Borrower and the Requisite Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system of such Rating Agency, and pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Margin shall be determined by reference to the rating most recently in effect prior to such change. The credit rating in effect on any date for the purposes hereof is that in effect at the close of business on such date.

The Agent shall also be entitled to recover from the Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Agent at a per annum rate equal to (i) from the Borrower at the applicable rate for such Loan or (ii) from a Lender at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. Subject to the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 12.15), the Borrower does not waive any claim that it may have against a Defaulting Lender. ARTICLE III. Payments, Fees and Other General Provisions Section 3.1 Payments. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest and other amounts to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to the Agent at its Principal Office, not later than 12:00 p.m. on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Subject to Sections 3.2 and 3.3, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) debit the amount of any such payment which is not made by such time from any special or general deposit account of Borrower with the Agent, other than accounts as to which the Agent has expressly waived offset rights in writing. The Borrower shall, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement or any Note, specify to the Agent the amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied. Each payment received by the Agent for the account of a Lender under this Agreement or any Note shall be paid to such Lender at the applicable Lending Office of such Lender no later than one (1) Business Day after receipt. If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall be payable for the period of such extension. 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. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.1, Section 2.15 or Section 11.7, then the Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, - 33 - (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Agent to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under such Sections, in the case of each of (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Agent in its discretion. Section 3.2 Pro Rata Treatment. (a)    Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each borrowing from the Lenders under Section 2.1 shall be made from the Lenders, each payment of the Unused Fees shall be made for the account of the Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments under Section 2.2 shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitment Percentages; (ii) each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans by the Borrower and each payment of the Fees under Section 2.12 shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by them, provided that, with respect to any optional prepayment pursuant to Section 2.7, such prepayments shall be applied to the Base Rate Loans and/or groups of LIBOR Rate Loans with the same Interest Period at the direction of the Borrower in its reasonable discretion; (iii) each payment of interest on Loans by the Borrower shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amount of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders; and (iv) the making, Conversion and Continuation of Loans of a particular Type (other than Conversions provided for by Section 4.6) shall be made pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments (in the case of making of Loans) or their respective Loans (in the case of Conversions and Continuations of Loans) and the then current Interest Period for each Lender’s portion of each Loan of such Type shall be coterminous. (b)    If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.1, Section 2.15 or Section 11.7, then the Agent shall (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under such Sections; in the case of each of (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Agent in reasonable discretion. Section 3.3 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan made by it to the Borrower under this Agreement, or shall obtain payment on any other Obligation owing by the Borrower or any other Obligor through the exercise of any right of set‑off, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise or through voluntary prepayments directly to a Lender or other payments made by the Borrower to a Lender not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such payment should be distributed to some or all of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2 or Section 10.3, as applicable, such Lender shall promptly purchase from the other applicable Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans made by such other Lenders or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the applicable Lenders shall share the benefit of such payment (net of any reasonable expenses which may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such benefit) pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2 or Section 10.3. To such end, all the applicable Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation (or direct interest) in the Commitment, Loans or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders may exercise all rights of set‑off, - 34 - banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower. Section 3.4 Several Obligations. No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not relieve the obligation of any other Lender to make any Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender. Section 3.5 Minimum Amounts. (a)Borrowings and Conversions. Each Base Rate Loan shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $250,000 in excess thereof. Each LIBOR Rate Loan and each Conversion of LIBOR Rate Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount. (b)Prepayments. Each voluntary prepayment of Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof (or the aggregate principal amount of Loans then outstanding). Section 3.6 Fees. (a)Unused Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender (in accordance with its Commitment Percentage), an unused fee (the “Unused Fee”) which shall accrue and be payable on the daily amount of the unused Commitment of such Lender for the period beginning on the Effective Date, and continuing through the last day of the Commitment Period, at a rate of 0.20% per annum on the sum of the average daily unused portion of the Commitments. All Unused Fees shall be fully earned when paid and nonrefundable under any circumstances. Accrued Unused Fees shall be payable in arrears on the first day of each month (for the preceding month) and on the last day of the Commitment Period, commencing on February 2, 2015. All Unused Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). (b)Other Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay the reasonable administrative and other fees of the Agent and the Lead Arranger as may be agreed to in writing from time to time. Section 3.7 Computations. Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, any accrued interest on any Loan, any Fees or any other Obligations due hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days (or a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, in the case of Base Rate Loans when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate) and the actual number of days elapsed. Section 3.8 Usury. In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable on the Loans or other Obligations exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law and, if any such payment is paid by the Borrower or - 35 - received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless the Borrower shall notify the respective Lender in writing that the Borrower elects to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Borrower not pay and the Lenders not receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by the Borrower under Applicable Law. Section 3.9 Agreement Regarding Interest and Charges. The parties hereto hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon the Borrower for the use of money in connection with this Agreement is and shall be the interest specifically described in Section 2.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto further agree and stipulate that all agency fees, syndication fees, Unused Fees, arrangement fees, amendment fees, up‑front fees, commitment fees, facility fees, unused fee, closing fees, letter of credit fees, underwriting fees, default charges, late charges, funding or “breakage” charges, increased cost charges, attorneys’ fees and reimbursement for costs and expenses paid by the Agent or any Lender to third parties or for damages incurred by the Agent or any Lender, or any other similar amounts are charges made to compensate the Agent or any such Lender for underwriting or administrative services and costs or losses performed or incurred, and to be performed or incurred, by the Agent and the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and shall under no circumstances be deemed to be charges for the use of money. The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Lenders have imposed no minimum borrowing requirements, reserve or escrow balances or compensating balances related in any way to the Obligations. Any use by the Borrower of certificates of deposit issued by any Lender or other accounts maintained with any Lender has been and shall be voluntary on the part of the Borrower. All charges other than charges for the use of money shall be fully earned and nonrefundable when due. Section 3.10 Statements of Account. The Agent will account to the Borrower monthly with a statement of Loans, accrued interest and Fees, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such account rendered by the Agent shall be deemed conclusive upon the Borrower absent manifest error. The failure of the Agent to deliver such a statement of accounts shall not relieve or discharge the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder. Section 3.11 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the Commitment and outstanding principal amount of Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 12.6), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification that increases the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender, forgives all or any portion of the principal amount of any Loan or interest thereon owing to a Defaulting Lender, reduces the Applicable Margin on the underlying interest rate options owing to a Defaulting Lender or extends the Termination Date (except as provided in Section 2.12) shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender. Section 3.12 Taxes. (a)Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or - 36 - withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document 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 Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. (b)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it or any Lender for the payment of, any Other Taxes. (c)Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after Borrower’s receipt of written notice of demand therefor together with a certificate specifying the amount of such payment or liability and the calculation thereof in reasonable detail (with a copy to the Agent), for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by such Recipient. (d)Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.5(c) 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 paragraph (d). (e)Evidence of Payments. Within a reasonable time after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.12, the Borrower 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. (f)Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.12(f) (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. (ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person, - 37 - (A)any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; (B)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: (1)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; (2)    executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; (3)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or (4)    to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-2 or Exhibit L-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; (C)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation - 38 - as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and (D)if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. (g)Treatment of Certain Refunds. 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 Section 3.12 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.12), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 3.12 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party in connection with obtaining such refund 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 paragraph (g) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) to the extent 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 indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph 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 deems confidential) to, or to file for or pursue any refund of Taxes on behalf of, the indemnifying party or any other Person. (h)Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.12 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. Section 3.13 Interest Rate Protection Arrangements. Any Interest Rate Agreement entered into by a Lender Counterparty with respect to the Loans under this Agreement (an “Eligible Lender Swap Agreement”) shall rank pari passu with the Obligations. To the extent that any Liens are granted by the Borrower and/or its Subsidiaries in favor of the Agent to secure the Obligations, then the obligations owing to each Lender Counterparty under an Eligible Lender Swap Agreement shall also be secured by such Liens on an equal and ratable basis with the Obligations. - 39 - ARTICLE IV. YIELD PROTECTION, ETC. Section 4.1 Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy. (a)Additional Costs. The Borrower shall promptly pay to the Agent for the account of a Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender that it reasonably determines are attributable to its making, continuing, converting or maintaining of any LIBOR Rate Loans or its obligation to make any LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder (such amounts shall be based upon a reasonable allocation thereof by such Lender to any LIBOR Rate Loans made by such Lender hereunder), any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender of capital or liquidity in respect of its Loans or its Commitment (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any Regulatory Change, and solely to the extent that such Lender generally imposes such Additional Costs on other similarly situated borrowers of such Lender in similar circumstances (to the extent such Lender has the right to do so), that: (i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such Loans or its Commitment (other than Excluded Taxes); or (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirements (other than Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other reserve requirement to the extent utilized in the determination of the LIBOR Base Rate for such Loan) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Lender, or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitments of such Lender hereunder); or (iii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity). (b)Lender’s Suspension of LIBOR Rate Loans. Without limiting the effect of the provisions of Section 4.1(a), if, by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of a category of liabilities or assets of such Lender that includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Rate Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes LIBOR Rate Loans that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue, or to Convert any other Type of Loans into, LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 4.6 shall apply). (c)Notification and Determination of Additional Costs. Each of the Agent and each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the Agreement Date entitling the Agent or such Lender to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable; provided, however, the failure of the Agent or any Lender to give such notice shall not release the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, the Agent or a Lender, as the case may be, shall not be entitled to compensation for any such amount relating to any period ending more than twelve (12) months prior to the date that the Agent or such Lender, as applicable, first notifies the Borrower in writing thereof. The Agent and or such Lender agrees to furnish to the Borrower a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request by the Agent or such Lender for compensation under this Section. Absent manifest error, determinations by the Agent or any Lender of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith. - 40 - Section 4.2 Market Disruption and Alternate Rate of Interest. (a)If at the time that the Agent shall seek to determine the LIBOR Screen Rate on the Quotation Day for any Interest Period for a LIBOR Rate Loan the LIBOR Screen Rate shall not be available for such Interest Period with respect to such LIBOR Rate Loan for any reason and the Agent shall determine that it is not possible to determine the Interpolated Rate (which conclusion shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error), then the applicable Reference Bank Rate shall be the LIBOR Base Rate for such Interest Period for such LIBOR Rate Loan; provided, however, that if less than two Reference Banks shall supply a rate to the Agent for purposes of determining the LIBOR Base Rate for such LIBOR Rate Loan, then such LIBOR Rate Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan at the Alternate Base Rate (b)If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBOR Rate Loan the Agent is advised by the Requisite Lenders that the LIBOR Rate or the LIBOR Base Rate, as applicable, for a Loan for the applicable Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such borrowing for such Interest Period, then the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any Notice of Conversion that requests the conversion to a LIBOR Rate Loan, or continuation of any LIBOR Rate Loan, for the applicable Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be ineffective and (B)  any requested LIBOR Rate Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan. For purposes of the immediately preceding clause (b)(ii), in determining whether the LIBOR Rate or the LIBOR Base Rate will adequately and fairly reflect the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining LIBOR Loans, such Lender shall make such determination assuming that such Lender is actually funding LIBOR Loans through the purchase of deposits in the London interbank market. Section 4.3 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if it becomes unlawful for any Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof (with a copy to the Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Rate Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 4.6 shall be applicable). Section 4.4 Compensation. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender, within five (5) Business Days following the request of such Lender through the Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense that such Lender determines is attributable to: (a)any payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of a LIBOR Rate Loan, or Conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan, made by such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, acceleration) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or (b)any failure by the Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any of the applicable conditions precedent specified in Article V to be satisfied) to borrow a LIBOR Rate Loan from such Lender on the date for such borrowing, or to Convert a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Rate Loan or Continue a LIBOR Rate Loan on the requested date of such Conversion or Continuation. - 41 - Upon the Borrower’s request, any Lender requesting compensation under this Section shall provide the Borrower with a statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof. Each Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods generally applied by such Lender and may include, without limitation, administrative costs as a component of such loss, cost or expense. Absent manifest error, determinations by any Lender in any such statement shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith. Section 4.5 Affected Lenders. If (a) a Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 3.12 or 4.1, and the Requisite Lenders are not also doing the same, (b) the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Rate Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 4.1(b) or 4.3 but the obligation of the Requisite Lenders shall not have been suspended under such Sections, or (c) a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, so long as there does not then exist any Default or Event of Default, the Borrower, within thirty (30) days of such request for compensation or suspension, as applicable, may either (i) demand that such Lender (the “Affected Lender”), and upon such demand the Affected Lender shall promptly, assign its Commitment and Loans to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.5(d) for a purchase price equal to the aggregate principal balance of Loans then owing to the Affected Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Affected Lender, or (ii) except in the case of a Defaulting Lender, pay to the Affected Lender the aggregate principal balance of Loans then owing to the Affected Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Affected Lender, whereupon the Affected Lender shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights or obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents. Each of the Agent and the Affected Lender shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Affected Lender under this Section, but at no time shall the Agent, such Affected Lender nor any other Lender be obligated in any way whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Agent, the Affected Lender or any of the other Lenders.

Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents nor the performance of any actions required hereunder or thereunder is being undertaken by the Borrower or any other Obligor 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. (dd)    Transaction in Best Interests of Borrower and Obligors; Consideration. The transaction evidenced by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents is in the best interests of the Borrower and the other Obligors and the creditors of such Persons. The direct and indirect benefits to inure to the Borrower and the other Obligors pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute materially more than “reasonably equivalent value” (as such term is used in §548 of the Bankruptcy Code) and “valuable consideration,” “fair value,” and “fair consideration” (as such terms are used in any applicable state fraudulent conveyance law), in exchange for the benefits to be provided by the Borrower and the other Obligors pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and but for the willingness of each Guarantor to guaranty the Obligations, the Borrower would be unable to obtain the financing contemplated hereunder which financing will enable the Borrower and the other Obligors to have available financing to conduct and expand their business. The Borrower and the other Obligors constitute a single integrated financial enterprise and each receives a benefit from the availability of credit under this Agreement to the Borrower. (ee)    Property. All of the Borrower’s, the other Obligors’ and their respective Subsidiaries’ properties are in good repair and condition, subject to ordinary wear and tear, other than (x) with respect to deferred maintenance existing as of the date of acquisition of such property as permitted in this Section, and (y) where the failure of the properties of any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any Subsidiary of an Obligor to be in good repair and condition has not had or could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on either the Borrower or the REIT Guarantor. The Borrower has completed or caused to be completed an appropriate investigation of the environmental condition of each Property as of the later of the date of the Borrower’s, the Obligors’ or the applicable Subsidiary’s purchase thereof or the date upon which such property was last security for Indebtedness of such Persons, including preparation of a “Phase I” report and, if appropriate, a “Phase II” report, in each case prepared by a recognized environmental engineer in accordance with customary standards which discloses that such property is not in violation of the representations and covenants set forth in this Agreement, unless such violation has been disclosed in writing to the Agent and remediation actions satisfactory to Agent are being taken. There are no unpaid or outstanding real estate or other taxes or assessments on or against any property of the Borrower, the other Obligors or their respective Subsidiaries which are delinquent. Except as set forth in Schedule 6.1(ee) hereto, there are no pending eminent domain proceedings against any property of the Borrower, the other Obligors or their respective Subsidiaries or any part thereof, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, no such proceedings are presently threatened or contemplated by any taking authority which, in all such events, individually or in the aggregate have had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. None of the property of the Borrower, the other Obligors or their respective Subsidiaries is now damaged or injured as a result of any - 52 - fire, explosion, accident, flood or other casualty in any manner which individually or in the aggregate has had or could reasonably be expected to have any Material Adverse Effect. (ff)    No Event of Default. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or will occur after giving effect to the borrowing of the Loan. (gg)    Subordination. None of the Borrower or any other Obligor is a party to or bound by any agreement, instrument or indenture that may require the subordination in right or time of payment of any of the Obligations to any other indebtedness or obligation of any of such Persons. (hh)    Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions. The Borrower, its Subsidiaries and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, their respective officers, employees, directors and agents, are in compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions in all material respects. None of the Borrower, any Subsidiary or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, any of their respective directors, officers, employees or any agent of the Borrower or any Subsidiary that will act in any capacity in connection with or benefit from the credit facility established hereby, is a Sanctioned Person. No Loan or the use of proceeds of any Loan will violate any Anti-Corruption Law or applicable Sanctions. Section 6.2 Survival of Representations and Warranties, Etc. All statements contained in any certificate, financial statement or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower, any other Obligor or any of their respective Subsidiaries to the Agent or any Lender pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (including, but not limited to, any such statement made in or in connection with any amendment thereto or any statement contained in any certificate, financial statement or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower prior to the Effective Date and delivered to the Agent or any Lender in connection with closing the transactions contemplated hereby) shall constitute representations and warranties made by the Borrower under this Agreement. All representations and warranties made under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to be made at and as of the Agreement Date, the Effective Date and the date of the occurrence of any Credit Event, except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and accurate on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances specifically permitted hereunder. All such representations and warranties shall survive the effectiveness of this Agreement, the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of the Loans. ARTICLE VII.

As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the Obligations), the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Agent shall not exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless the Requisite Lenders have so directed the Agent to exercise such right or remedy. The Borrower may rely on written amendments or waivers executed by Agent or acts taken by Agent as being authorized by the Lenders or the Requisite Lenders, as applicable, to the extent Agent does not advise Borrower that it has not obtained such authorization from the Lenders or the Requisite Lenders, as applicable. With the exception of the foregoing sentence and Section 11.8, the provisions of this Article XI are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. Section 11.2 Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent: (a) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until the Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to the Agent; (b) may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for the Borrower or any other Obligor), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (c) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender or any other Person and shall not be responsible to any Lender or any other Person for any statements, warranties or representations made by any Person in or in connection with this - 70 - Agreement or any other Loan Document; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of the Borrower or other Persons or inspect the property, books or records of the Borrower or any other Person; (e) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or any collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any Lien in favor of the Agent on behalf of the Lenders in any such collateral; (f) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone or telecopy) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties; and (g) except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower, the REIT Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Section 11.3 Notice of Defaults. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also serving as the Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly send to the Agent such a “notice of default.” Further, if the Agent receives such a “notice of default”, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. Section 11.4 JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Lender. JPMCB, as a Lender, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other Loan Document as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include JPMCB in each case in its individual capacity. JPMCB and its affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower, any other Obligor or any other affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the other Lenders. Further, the Agent and any affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the other Lenders. Section 11.5 Approvals of Lenders. All communications from the Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s consent to any amendments, waivers and consents under Section 12.6, (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice to such Lender and (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such consent is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved. Each Lender shall reply promptly, but in any event within twenty (20) Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the Loan Documents) of receipt of such communication. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and except with respect to items requiring the unanimous consent or approval of the Lenders under Section 12.6, unless a Lender shall give written notice to the Agent that it specifically objects to the - 71 - requested amendment, waiver or consent (together with a written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within the applicable time period for reply, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of or consented to such requested amendment, waiver or consent. Section 11.6 Lender Credit Decision, Etc. Each Lender expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, attorneys-in-fact or other affiliates has made any representations or warranties as to the financial condition, operations, creditworthiness, solvency or other information concerning the business or affairs of the Borrower, any other Obligor, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any other Person to such Lender and that no act by the Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Agent to any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Agent, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on the financial statements of the Borrower, the other Obligors, and their respective Subsidiaries, or any other Affiliate thereof, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Borrower, the Obligors, their respective Subsidiaries and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transaction contemplated hereby. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, any other Obligor, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or other Affiliates. Each Lender acknowledges that the Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Agent and is not acting as counsel to such Lender. Section 11.7 Indemnification of Agent. Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Commitment Percentage, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent (in its capacity as Agent but not as a Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or if the Agent fails to follow the written direction of the Requisite Lenders unless such failure is pursuant to the reasonable advice of counsel of which the Lenders have received notice. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing but subject to the preceding provision, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees of the counsel(s) of the Agent’s own choosing) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, - 72 - administration or enforcement of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit or action brought by the Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect any Obligations, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against the Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Agent and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws. Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Agent that the Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall reimburse the Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, the Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment. Section 11.8 Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any time as Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. The Agent may be removed as Agent under the Loan Documents by the Requisite Lenders (other than the Lender then acting as Agent) as a result of (i) its gross negligence or willful misconduct or (ii) it being a Defaulting Lender or meeting the criteria of a Defaulting Lender. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Requisite Lenders (other than the Lender then acting as Agent, in the case of the removal of the Agent under the immediately preceding sentence) shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be a commercial bank having total combined assets of at least $5,000,000,000, which appointment shall, provided no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (except that the Borrower shall, in all events, be deemed to have approved each Lender (and its affiliates) holding at least ten percent (10%) of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans (calculated at the time Agent gives notice of its resignation) as a successor Agent). If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the resigning Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Lenders’ removal of the resigning Agent, then the resigning or removed Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be a commercial bank having total combined assets of at least $5,000,000,000. 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 Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents as Agent. After any Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article XI shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under the Loan Documents. Section 11.9 Titled Agents. Each of the Titled Agents in each such respective capacity, assumes no responsibility or obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, nor any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders. The titles of “Lead Arranger and Book Manager”, “Documentation Agent” and “Syndication Agent” are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Titled Agents to the Agent, the Borrower or any Lender and the use of such titles does not impose on the Titled Agents any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or entitle the Titled Agents to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is entitled. - 73 - Section 11.10 Other Loans by Lenders to Obligors. The Lenders agree that one or more of them may now or hereafter have other loans to and derivative contracts and/or business arrangements with one or more of the Obligors which are not subject to this Agreement. The Lenders agree that the Lender(s) which may have such other loan(s) to the Obligors may collect payments on such loan(s) and may secure such loan(s) (so long as such loan does not itself expressly violate this Agreement). Further, the Lenders agree that the Lender(s) which may have such other loan(s) to the Obligors shall have no obligation to attempt to collect payments under the Loans in preference and priority over the collection and/or enforcement of such other loan(s).

Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by using Electronic Systems pursuant to procedures approved by the Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II unless otherwise agreed by the Agent and the applicable Lender. The Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient.

Any Electronic System used by the Agent is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of such Electronic Systems and expressly disclaim liability - 75 - for errors or omissions in the Communications.

(a)THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT ENTERED INTO PURSUANT TO THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED, CONSTRUED, APPLIED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (OTHER THAN THOSE CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS THAT WOULD DEFER TO THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION).

Section 12.5 Successors and Assigns. (a)The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all Lenders and any such assignment or other transfer to which all of the Lenders have not so consented shall be null and void and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations under this Agreement except in accordance with this Section 12.5. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents of each of the Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. (b)Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Loans at, to or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an affiliate of such Lender except to the extent such transfer would result in increased costs to the Borrower. (c)Any Lender may at any time grant to one or more banks or other financial institutions (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its Commitment or the Obligations owing to such Lender; provided, however, (i) any such participating interest must be for a constant and not a varying percentage interest, (ii) no Lender may grant a participating interest in its Commitment or the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loan held by it, in an amount less than $5,000,000 and (iii) after giving effect to any such participation by a Lender, the amount of its Commitment or the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loan held by it, in which it has not granted any participating interests must be equal to $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. No Participant shall have any rights or benefits under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, however, such Lender may agree with the Participant that it will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (i) increase, or extend the term or extend the time or waive any requirement for the reduction or termination of, such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on the Loans or portions thereof owing to such Lender, (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal, (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon or (v) release all or substantially all of the Guarantors (except as otherwise permitted under Section 7.12(b)). An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by Section 12.5(d) or (e) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this subsection (c). The selling Lender shall notify the Agent and the Borrower of the sale of any participation hereunder and, if requested by the Agent, certify to the - 78 - Agent that such participation is permitted hereunder. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.12, 4.1 and 4.4 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section; provided that (a) a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.12 and 4.1 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 the Borrower’s prior written consent and (b) a Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.12 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower and the Agent, to comply with Section 3.12(f) as though it were a Lender. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.3 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.3 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Commitment, Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. (d)Any Lender may with the prior written consent of the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its Commitment and Loan and its other rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Loan; provided, however, (i) no such consent by the Agent shall be required in the case of any assignment to another Lender or any affiliate of such Lender or of another Lender unless such Lender is a Defaulting Lender; (ii) any partial assignment of a Commitment or Loan shall be in an amount at least equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and after giving effect to such partial assignment the assigning Lender retains a portion of the Commitment or Loan so assigned having an aggregate outstanding principal balance, of at least $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (provided, however, the conditions set forth in this subsection (ii) shall not apply to any full assignment by any Lender of its Commitment or Loan); and (iii) each such assignment shall be effected by means of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement. Upon execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be deemed to be a Lender party to this Agreement as of the effective date of the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender with a Commitment or Loan amount as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, and the transferor Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection (d), the transferor Lender, the Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes are issued to the Assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate, and any other documents reasonably required by a Lender in connection with such assignment shall be executed by the Borrower. In connection with any such assignment, the transferor Lender shall pay to the Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $3,500. - 79 - (e)The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Principal Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The Agent shall give each Lender and the Borrower notice of the assignment by any Lender of its rights as contemplated by this Section. The Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register and copies of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice to the Agent. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement executed by an assigning Lender, together with each Note subject to such assignment, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement has been completed and if the Agent receives the processing and recording fee described in Section 12.5(d) above, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower. (f)In addition to the assignments and participations permitted under the foregoing provisions of this Section, any Lender may assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans and its Notes to any Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder. (g)A Lender may furnish any information concerning the Borrower, any other Obligor or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates in the possession of such Lender from time to time to Assignees and Participants (including prospective Assignees and Participants) subject to compliance with Section 12.8. (h)Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to (i) the Borrower, any other Obligor or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (ii) a Defaulting Lender. (i)Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Agent, it will not make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any Loan or Note under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States of America or of any other jurisdiction. Section 12.6 Amendments. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any consent or approval required or permitted by this Agreement or any other Loan Document to be given by the Lenders may be given, and any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document may be amended, and the performance or observance by the Borrower or any other Obligor or any of their respective Subsidiaries of any terms of this Agreement or such other Loan Document 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 Requisite Lenders (and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of the Borrower). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, waiver or consent shall do any of the following: (i) increase the Commitments (or any component thereof) of any of Lenders (except as contemplated by Section 2.14) without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby; (ii) reduce the principal of, or interest rates that have accrued or that will be charged on the outstanding principal amount of, any Loans or Fees or other Obligations without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby; (iii) reduce the amount of any Fees payable hereunder without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby; (iv) except as provided in Section 2.12, postpone any date fixed for any payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loans or any other Obligations, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby; (v) (A) change the Commitment Percentages (or any component thereof) (except as a result of any - 80 - increase or decrease in the aggregate amount of the Commitments contemplated by Section 2.14 or Section 4.5 or as a result of any reallocation contemplated by Section 3.11) without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby or (B) amend or otherwise modify the provisions of Section 3.2(a) without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby; (vi)  modify the definition of the term “Requisite Lenders”, modify in any other manner the number or percentage of the Lenders (including all of the Lenders) required to make any determinations or waive any rights hereunder or to modify any provision hereof, including without limitation, any modification of this Section 12.6 if such modification would have such effect without the written consent of each Lender; or (vii) release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty (except as otherwise permitted under Section 7.12(b) or Section 12.20(d)) without the written consent of each Lender. Further, no amendment, waiver or consent unless in writing and signed by the Agent, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, shall affect the rights or duties of the Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose set forth therein. 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. Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Section 12.7 Nonliability of Agent and Lenders. The relationship between the Borrower and the Lenders and the Agent shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower and no provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing by the Agent or any Lender to any Lender, the Borrower, any other Obligor or any of their respective Subsidiaries. Neither the Agent nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower to review or inform the Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrower’s business or operations. The Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower and the REIT Guarantor, their respective stockholders and/or their respective Affiliates. Section 12.8 Confidentiality. (a)Each of the Agent 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’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (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), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower; provided that the source of such information was not known by the Agent or any Lender to be bound by a confidentiality agreement or other legal or contractual obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from - 81 - the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower and other than information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry. 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. In addition, the Agent and each Lender may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the information about this Agreement to service providers to the Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. (b)EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.12(a) FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWER AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS. (c)ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWER OR THE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE BORROWER AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWER AND THE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW. Section 12.9 Indemnification. (a)Borrower shall and hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Agent, any affiliate of the Agent and each of the Lenders and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, agents, employees and counsel (each referred to herein as an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, costs, claims, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or expenses of every kind and nature (including, without limitation, amounts paid in settlement, court costs and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding or any advice rendered in connection therewith, but excluding losses, costs, claims, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or expenses indemnification in respect of which is specifically covered by Section 3.12 or 4.1 or expressly excluded from the coverage of such Sections) incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with, arising out of, or by reason of, any suit, cause of action, claim, arbitration, investigation or settlement, consent decree or other proceeding (the foregoing referred to herein as an “Indemnity Proceeding”) which is in any way related directly or indirectly to: (i) this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated thereby; (ii) the making of any Loans; (iii) any actual or proposed use by the Borrower of the proceeds of the Loans; (iv) the Agent’s or any Lender’s entering into this Agreement; (v) the fact that the Agent and the Lenders have established the credit facility evidenced hereby in favor of the Borrower; (vi) the fact that the Agent and the Lenders are creditors of the Borrower and have or are alleged to have information regarding the financial condition, strategic plans or business operations of the Borrower, the other Obligors, or their respective Subsidiaries; (vii) the fact that the Agent - 82 - and the Lenders are material creditors of the Borrower and are alleged to influence directly or indirectly the business decisions or affairs of the Borrower, the other Obligors and their respective Subsidiaries or their financial condition; (viii) the exercise of any right or remedy the Agent or the Lenders may have under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; or (ix) any violation or non-compliance by the Borrower, any other Obligor, or any of their respective Subsidiaries of any Applicable Law (including any Environmental Law) including, but not limited to, any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by (A) the Internal Revenue Service or state taxing authority or (B) any Governmental Authority or other Person under any Environmental Law, including any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by a Governmental Authority or other Person seeking remedial or other action to cause the Borrower, the Obligors or their respective Subsidiaries (or their respective properties) (or the Agent and/or the Lenders as successors to the Borrower, any other Obligor or their respective Subsidiaries) to be in compliance with such Environmental Laws; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party (x) for any acts or omissions of such Indemnified Party that constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the expiration of all applicable appeal periods or (y) in connection with any losses, costs, claims, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or expenses arising out of any action, claim, arbitration, investigation or settlement, consent decree or other proceeding brought by any Indemnified Party against any other Indemnified Party in connection with, arising out of, or by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated thereby or the making of any Loans hereunder. In addition, the foregoing indemnification in favor of any director, officer, shareholder, agent, employee or counsel of the Agent, any affiliate of the Agent or any Lender shall be solely in their respective capacities as such director, officer, shareholder, agent, employee, or counsel. Borrower shall not be liable for payment of any settlement of any Indemnity Proceeding effected without Borrower’s written consent, but if the same is settled with such consent, Borrower agrees that such settlement is covered by the foregoing indemnity. (b)The Borrower’s indemnification obligations under this Section shall apply to all Indemnity Proceedings arising out of, or related to, the foregoing whether or not an Indemnified Party is a named party in such Indemnity Proceeding. In this connection, this indemnification shall cover all reasonable costs and expenses of any Indemnified Party in connection with any deposition of any Indemnified Party or compliance with any subpoena (including any subpoena requesting the production of documents). This indemnification shall, among other things, apply to any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by other creditors of the Borrower, any other Obligor, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, any shareholder, partner or other equity holder of the Borrower, any other Obligor or any of their respective Subsidiaries (whether such shareholder(s) or such other Persons are prosecuting such Indemnity Proceeding in their individual capacity or derivatively on behalf of such Person), any account debtor of the Borrower, any other Obligor, or any of their respective Subsidiaries or by any Governmental Authority. (c)This indemnification shall apply to any Indemnity Proceeding arising during the pendency of any bankruptcy proceeding filed by or against Borrower and/or an Obligor or any of their respective Subsidiaries. (d)All out-of-pocket fees and expenses of, and all amounts paid to third‑persons by, an Indemnified Party with respect to an Indemnified Proceeding shall be advanced by the Borrower at the request of such Indemnified Party notwithstanding any claim or assertion by the Borrower that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by such Indemnified Party that such Indemnified Party will reimburse the Borrower if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not so entitled to indemnification hereunder. (e)An Indemnified Party may conduct its own investigation and defense of, and may formulate its own strategy with respect to, any Indemnified Proceeding covered by this Section and, as provided above, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed by the Borrower. - 83 - No action taken by legal counsel chosen by an Indemnified Party in investigating or defending against any such Indemnified Proceeding shall vitiate or in any way impair the obligations and duties of the Borrower hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless each such Indemnified Party. (f)If and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower hereunder are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under Applicable Law. (g)The Borrower’s obligations hereunder shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the payment in full in cash of the Obligations, and are in addition to, and not in substitution of, any other of their obligations set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party.

Section 12.11 Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
