	§2.	THE CREDIT FACILITY. 

 §2.1 Term Loans. 

(a) Pursuant to the Original Credit Agreement, each of the Lenders made a Loan to Colonial LP, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of
which on the date hereof is set forth on Schedule 1.1. Upon and subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in §10, (i) Colonial LP shall be deemed to have assigned to the Borrower in full all of Colonial LP’s rights and
benefits, and the Borrower shall be deemed to have unconditionally and absolutely assumed in full all of Colonial LP’s obligations and liabilities (including without limitation, all Obligations (as defined in the Original Loan Agreement) of
Colonial LP), under the Original Credit Agreement, as amended and restated by this Agreement, and the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Original Loan Agreement) and (ii) the Agent and the Lenders shall be deemed to have consented to the
Colonial Merger Transactions and the transactions described in the preceding clause (i). 
 (b) The Loans shall be evidenced by
separate promissory notes of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (collectively, the “Notes”), dated of even date with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in §2.11(b) or §18.3) and completed
with appropriate insertions. One Note shall be payable to the order of each Lender in the principal amount equal to initial principal balance of such Lender’s Loan. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes Agent to make or cause to be made, at or
about the time of receipt of any payment of principal of the Loans, an appropriate notation on Agent’s Record reflecting the receipt of such payment. The outstanding amount of the Loans set forth on Agent’s Record shall be prima
facie evidence, absent manifest error, of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to each Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on Agent’s Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the
obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Note when due. By delivery of the Notes, there shall not be deemed to have occurred, and there has not otherwise occurred, any payment,
satisfaction or novation of the indebtedness evidenced by the “Notes” as defined in the Original Credit Agreement, which indebtedness is instead allocated among the Lenders as of the date hereof and evidenced by this Agreement and the
Notes in accordance with their respective Credit Percentages.

§2.11 Increase in Loans. 

(a) Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
§2.11, the Borrower shall have the option from time to time prior to the Maturity Date to request one or more additional Loans by giving written notice to the Agent (an “Increase Notice”; and the amount of such requested increase is
the “Loan Increase”); provided that after giving effect to such Loans, the aggregate amount of the Loans shall not exceed $250,000,000.00, provided further that any such individual increase must be in a minimum amount
of $25,000,000.00 and increments of $5,000,000.00 in excess thereof (or such smaller amounts as the Agent may approve). Upon receipt of any Increase Notice, the Agent shall consult with the Loan Increase Arranger, and shall notify the Borrower of
the amount of fees to be paid to any Lenders who provide additional Loans (or in the case of an existing Lender, increases the principal amount of its Loan) and to be paid to the Loan Increase Arranger in connection with such increase. If the
Borrower agrees to pay the fees so determined, then the Agent shall send a notice to all Lenders (the “Additional Loan Request Notice”) informing them of the Borrower’s request for additional Loans and of the facility fees to be paid
to Lenders with respect thereto. Each existing Lender who desires to increase the principal amount of its Loan upon such terms shall provide Agent with a written commitment letter specifying the amount of the increase which it is willing to provide
prior to such deadline as may be specified in the Additional Loan Request Notice. If the requested increase is oversubscribed then the Borrower, the Agent and the Loan Increase Arranger shall allocate the Loan Increase among the Lenders who provide
such commitment letters on such basis as they 

  
 28 








 
shall reasonably agree. If the additional Loans so provided are not sufficient to provide the full amount of the Loan Increase requested by the Borrower, then the Agent, the Loan Increase
Arranger or the Borrower may, but shall not be obligated to, invite one or more banks or lending institutions (which banks or lending institutions shall be reasonably acceptable to Agent, the Loan Increase Arranger and the Borrower) to become a
Lender and provide additional Loans. The Agent shall provide all Lenders with a notice setting forth the amount, if any, of the additional Loans to be provided by each Lender on the effective date of the Loan Increase specified therein (the
“Increase Date”). In no event shall any existing Lender be obligated to increase the principal amount of its Loan. 
 (b) Upon the
effectiveness of the Loan Increase pursuant to this §2.11 the Agent may unilaterally revise Schedule 1.1 and the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Agent new Notes for each new Lender and each existing Lender increasing the
principal amount of its Loan. The Agent shall deliver such Notes to the respective Lenders, in the case of each existing Lender increasing the principal amount of its Loan in exchange for the Note replaced thereby which shall be promptly surrendered
by such Lender to Borrower. Such new Notes shall, in the case of each existing Lender increasing the principal amount of its Loan provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Notes and that they do not constitute a novation, shall be dated
as of the Increase Date and shall otherwise be in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A. Simultaneously with the issuance of any new Notes pursuant to this §2.11(b), if required by the Agent, the Borrower shall deliver an opinion
of counsel, addressed to the Lenders and the Agent, relating to the due authorization, execution and delivery of such new Notes and the enforceability thereof, in form and substance substantially similar to the opinion delivered in connection with
the first disbursement under this Agreement. The surrendered Notes shall be canceled and promptly returned to the Borrower. In connection with any increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Loans pursuant to this Section any Lender becoming a
party hereto shall execute such documents and agreements as the Agent may reasonably request. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the obligation of the Agent and the Lenders to provide a Loan Increase pursuant to this §2.11 shall be conditioned upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent which must be satisfied prior to the
effectiveness of any Loan Increase: 
 (i) The Borrower shall pay (A) to the Agent and the Loan Increase Arranger those fees agreed to
in writing with the Agent and the Loan Increase Arranger with respect to the Loan Increase, and (B) to the Loan Increase Arranger such facility fees as the Lenders who are providing additional Loans may require, which fees shall, when paid, be
fully earned and non-refundable under any circumstances; and 
 (ii) On the date any Increase Notice is given and on the date such increase
becomes effective, both immediately before and after giving effect to such increase, there shall exist no Default or Event of Default; and 

(iii) The representations and warranties made by the Borrower and the Guarantors in the Loan Documents or otherwise made by or on behalf of
the Borrower or the Guarantors in connection therewith or after the date thereof shall have been true and correct in all material respects when made and shall also be true and correct in all material respects on the date


  
 29 








 
of such Increase Notice and after giving effect to such increase (it being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be
required to be true and correct in all material respects only as of such specified date, and that any representation or warranty that is qualified by any materiality standard shall be required to be true and correct in all respects); and 

(iv) The Borrower and the Guarantors shall execute and deliver to Agent and the Lenders such additional documents, instruments,
certifications and opinions as the Agent may reasonably require in its sole and absolute discretion, including, without limitation, a Compliance Certificate, demonstrating compliance with all covenants, representations and warranties set forth in
the Loan Documents after giving effect to the increase; and 
 (v) The Borrower and the Guarantors shall satisfy such other conditions to
such increase as Agent may require in its reasonable discretion. 
 §2.12 Reserved. 

§2.13 Defaulting Lenders. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such
Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the Agent, the Lenders or the Borrower under this Agreement or Applicable Law: 

(a) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect
to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders. 
 (b) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any
payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to §12 or otherwise) or received by the Agent from a Defaulting Lender
pursuant to §13 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request
(so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; third, if so
determined by the Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the
payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this
Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender
as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s 

  
 30 








 
breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such
payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions precedent to the making of such Loan
were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of the Loan of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by
the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Credit Percentages). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this
subsection shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 
 (c)
Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any
conditions set forth therein, such Lender will make such adjustments as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the interest of the Lenders in the Loans to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Credit Percentages,
whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided, that (i) that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to Fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a
Defaulting Lender; and (ii) except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that
Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 
  

	§3.	REPAYMENT OF THE LOANS. 

 §3.1 Stated Maturity. The Borrower promises to pay on the
Maturity Date and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the Maturity Date all of the Loans outstanding on such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other Obligations. 

§3.2 Reserved. 

§3.3 Optional Prepayments. 

(a) Borrower shall have the right, at its election and without payment of any penalty or fee, to prepay the outstanding amount of the Loans,
as a whole or in part, at any time and from time to time without penalty or premium; provided, that if any prepayment of the outstanding amount of any LIBOR Rate Loans pursuant to this §3.3 is made on a date that is not the last day of the
Interest Period relating thereto, such prepayment shall be accompanied by the payment of any amounts due pursuant to §§ 4.8 and 4.11. 

(b) The Borrower shall give the Agent, no later than 11:00 a.m. (Central time) at least one (1) Business Day prior written notice of any
prepayment pursuant to this §3.3 of Loans, specifying the proposed date of prepayment of the Loans and the principal amount to be prepaid (provided that any such notice shall be irrevocable once given). 

  
 31 








 §3.4 Partial Prepayments. Each partial prepayment of the Loans under §3.3 shall
be in a minimum amount of $100,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 in excess thereof, and shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest on the principal prepaid to the date of payment. In the absence of instruction by the
Borrower, prepayments shall be applied first to the principal of Base Rate Loans, and then to the principal of LIBOR Rate Loans. 

§3.5 Reserved. 

§3.6 Effect of Prepayment. Amounts of the Loans prepaid under §3.3 or otherwise prior to the Maturity Date may not be
reborrowed. 
  

	§4.	CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS. 

 §4.1 Conversion Options. 

(a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to Convert any of its outstanding Loans to a Loan of another Type and such Loans shall thereafter
bear interest as a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan, as applicable; provided that (i) with respect to any such conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, the Borrower shall give the Agent at least one (1) LIBOR Business
Day’s prior written notice (notices received later than 11:00 a.m. (Central time) on any LIBOR Business Day shall be deemed received on the next Business Day) of such election (a “Conversion/Continuation Request”), and such conversion
shall only be made on the last day of the Interest Period with respect to such LIBOR Rate Loan; (ii) with respect to any such conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrower shall give the Agent at least three (3) LIBOR
Business Days’ prior written notice (notices received later than 11:00 a.m. (Central time) on any such LIBOR Business Day shall be deemed received on the next LIBOR Business Day) of such election and the Interest Period requested for such Loan,
the principal amount of the Loan so converted shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $250,000.00 in excess thereof and, after giving effect to the making of such Loan, there shall be no more than three
(3) different Interest Periods for LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding at any one time unless all of the Lenders otherwise consent in writing; and (iii) no Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Rate Loan when any Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing. All or any part of the outstanding Loans of any Type may be converted as provided herein, provided that no partial conversion shall result in a Base Rate Loan in a principal amount of less than $1,000,000.00 or an
integral multiple of $100,000.00 or a LIBOR Rate Loan in a principal amount of less than $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $250,000.00. Each Conversion/Continuation Request relating to the conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan
shall be irrevocable by the Borrower. The Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the applicable LIBOR or Base Rate. 

  
 32 








 (b) Any LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as such Type upon the expiration of an Interest Period
with respect thereto by compliance by the Borrower with the terms of §4.1(a); provided that no LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as such when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but shall be automatically
converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto ending during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default. 

(c) Subject to the proviso in the preceding clause (b), in the event that the Borrower does not notify the Agent of its election hereunder
with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan, such Loan shall be automatically continued at the end of the applicable Interest Period as a LIBOR Rate Loan for an Interest Period of one month unless such Interest Period shall be greater than the time
remaining until the Maturity Date, in which case such Loan shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan at the end of the applicable Interest Period. 

§4.2 Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to U.S. Bank for its own account or the account of the Lenders, as applicable, certain fees
for services rendered or to be rendered in connection with the Loans as provided pursuant to a fee letter dated July 12, 2013 between the Borrower and U.S. Bank (the “Agreement Regarding Fees”). 

§4.3 Agent’s Fee. The Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the Agent’s own account, an annual administration fee as provided
in the Agreement Regarding Fees. The Agent’s fee shall be payable as provided in the Agreement Regarding Fees. 
 §4.4 Funds
for Payments; Taxes. 
 (a) All payments of principal, interest, closing fees and any other amounts due hereunder or under any of the
other Loan Documents shall be made to the Agent, for the respective accounts of the Lenders and the Agent, as the case may be, at the Agent’s Head Office, not later than 1:00 p.m. (Central time) on the day when due, in each case in lawful money
of the United States in immediately available funds (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). If not received by 1:00 p.m. (Central time) on the day when due, the
Agent is hereby authorized to charge the accounts of the Borrower with U.S. Bank, on the dates when the amount thereof shall become due and payable, with the amounts of the principal of and interest on the Loans and all fees, charges, expenses and
other amounts owing to the Agent and/or the Lenders under the Loan Documents. Subject to the foregoing, all payments made to Agent on behalf of the Lenders, and actually received by Agent, shall be deemed received by the Lenders on the date actually
received by Agent. 
 (b) All payments by the Borrower or any Guarantor hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made
without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction 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 

  
 33 








 
applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance
with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower or other applicable Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and
withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 

(c) The Borrower and the Guarantors shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the
option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. 
 (d) 

(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. 

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person: 

 

	 	(A)	any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable
request of the Borrower or the Agent), 2 executed originals of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; 


 

	 	(B)	any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such
Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 


 

	 	(i)	 in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments
of 



  
 34 









	 	
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; 

  

	 	(ii)	executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; 

  

	 	(iii)	in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1 to the effect that
such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled
foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or 


 

	 	(iv)	to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, 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
J-2 or Exhibit J-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming
the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 


 

	 	(C)	 any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to 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




  
 35 









	 	
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 as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 


 

	 	(D)	if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA
(including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by
the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary
for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely
for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 


Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall
update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 
 (e)
Intentionally omitted. 
 (f) 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 or applicable Guarantor has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower and the other Loan
Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of § 18.4 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender,
in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender 

  
 36 








 
hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source
against any amount due to the Agent under this subsection. 
 (g) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or any
Guarantor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, the Borrower or such Guarantor shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the
return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. 
 (h) If any party determines, in its
sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), 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 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified
party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid
over pursuant to this subsection (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net
after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make
available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 

(i) The obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders under this Agreement shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid
and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents; (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or any right which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates may have at any time against the Lenders (other than the defense of payment to the Lenders in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any unrelated transaction; (iii) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or
observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; (iv) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; and (v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, provided that such
other circumstances or happenings shall not have been the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Lenders as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods. 

  
 37 








 (j) Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement
of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. 

§4.5 Computations. All computations of interest on the LIBOR Rate Loans and of other fees to the extent applicable shall be based
on a 360-day year and paid for the actual number of days elapsed. All computations of interest on Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate) shall be based on a year of 360 days, and paid for the actual
number of days elapsed. Except as otherwise provided in the definition of the term “Interest Period” with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans, whenever a payment hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents becomes due on a day that is not a
Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such extension. The Outstanding Loans as reflected on the records of the Agent from time to time shall be considered
prima facie evidence of such amount absent manifest error. 
 §4.6 Suspension of LIBOR Rate Loans. In the event that, prior to
the commencement of any Interest Period relating to any LIBOR Rate Loan, the Agent shall reasonably determine that adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period, or the Agent shall reasonably determine
that LIBOR are not likely to accurately and fairly reflect the cost of the Lenders making or maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith give notice of such determination (which shall be conclusive and binding on
the Borrower and the Lenders absent manifest error) to the Borrower and the Lenders. In such event (a) any Continuation/Conversion Notice requesting the continuation of, or conversion of a Base Rate Loan into, a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be
automatically withdrawn and (b) each LIBOR Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, become a Base Rate Loan, and the obligations of the Lenders to convert Base Rate Loans into LIBOR
Rate Loans and to continue LIBOR Rate Loans under §4.1 shall be suspended until the Agent reasonably determines that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, whereupon the Agent shall so notify the Borrower and the
Lenders. 
 §4.7 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any Lender shall determine that any present or
future law, regulation, treaty or directive or the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over a Lender or its applicable Lending Office shall assert that
it is unlawful, for any Lender to maintain LIBOR Rate Loans, such Lender shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances to the Agent and the Borrower and thereupon (a) the obligations of the Lenders to maintain LIBOR Rate Loans shall
forthwith be suspended and (b) the LIBOR Rate Loans then outstanding shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loans or within such earlier period as may be
required by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, before giving such notice, the applicable Lender shall designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Lender,
be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender or increase any costs payable by Borrower hereunder. 

  
 38 








 §4.8 Additional Interest. If any LIBOR Rate Loan or any portion thereof is repaid or
is converted to a Base Rate Loan for any reason on a date which is prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan, or if repayment of the Loans has been accelerated as provided in §12.1, or if a borrowing,
conversion, or continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans does not occur on the date specified in the Additional Loan Request Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Request pursuant to §4.1, or if the Borrower fails to repay a LIBOR Rate Loan on the date
specified in a prepayment notice pursuant to §3.3 or when otherwise required hereunder, the Borrower will pay to the Agent upon demand for the account of the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Credit Percentages, in addition
to any amounts of interest otherwise payable hereunder, the Breakage Costs. Not in limitation of the foregoing, such compensation shall include, without limitation, (i) in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan, an amount equal to the then present value
of (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on such LIBOR Rate Loan for the remainder of the Interest Period at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan, less (B) the amount of interest that would accrue on the same LIBOR Rate
Loan for the same period if LIBOR were set on the date on which such LIBOR Rate Loan was repaid, prepaid or Converted or the date on which the Borrower failed to borrow, Convert or Continue such LIBOR Rate Loan, as applicable, calculating present
value by using as a discount rate LIBOR quoted on such date. Upon the Borrower’s request, the Agent shall provide the Borrower with a statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount
thereof. The Borrower understands, agrees and acknowledges the following: (i) no Lender has any obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the use of LIBOR as a basis for calculating the rate of interest on a LIBOR Rate
Loan; (ii) LIBOR is used merely as a reference in determining such rate; and (iii) the Borrower has accepted LIBOR as a reasonable and fair basis for calculating such rate and any Breakage Costs. The Borrower further agrees to pay the
Breakage Costs, if any, whether or not a Lender elects to purchase, sell and/or match funds. 
 §4.9 Additional Costs, Etc.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, on or after the Closing Date, any Regulatory Change shall: 
 (a) subject any Lender or
the Agent or the applicable Lending Office of any Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender to any tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, fee, deduction or withholding of any nature with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, such
Lender’s Loan (other than Excluded Taxes), or 
 (b) materially change the basis of taxation (except for changes in taxes on gross
receipts, income or profits or its franchise tax) of payments to any Lender or the Agent or the applicable Lending Office of any Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender of the principal of or the interest on its Loan or any other amounts
payable to any Lender or Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or 
 (c) impose or increase or render applicable any
special deposit, reserve (other than Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other similar reserve requirement applicable to any other category of liabilities or category of extensions of credit or other assets
by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Rate Loans is determined 

  
 39 








 
to the extent utilized when determining LIBOR for such Loans), assessment, liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law and which are not
already reflected in any amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder) against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, or commitments of an office of any Lender, or 

(d) impose on any Lender or the Agent any other conditions or requirements with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the
Loans, or any class of loans or commitments of which any of the Loans forms a part, 
 and the result of any of the foregoing under clauses “a”
through “d” of this § 4.9 is: 
 (i) to increase the cost to any Lender, Agent any Lending Office of such Lender, or
any corporation controlling such Lender, of making, funding, renewing, extending or maintaining its Loan, or 
 (ii) to reduce the amount
of principal, interest or other amount payable to any Lender, Agent any Lending Office of such Lender, or any corporation controlling such Lender, hereunder on account of such Lender’s Loan, or 

(iii) to require any Lender, Agent any Lending Office of such Lender, or any corporation controlling such Lender, to make any payment or to
forego any interest or other sum payable hereunder, the amount of which payment or foregone interest or other sum is calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum receivable or deemed received by such Lender or the Agent from the Borrower
hereunder, 
 then, and in each such case, the Borrower will, within fifteen (15) days of demand made by such Lender or (as the case may be) the Agent
at any time and from time to time and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay to such Lender or the Agent such additional amounts as such Lender or the Agent shall determine in good faith to be sufficient to compensate such Lender or the
Agent for such additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest or other sum. Each Lender and the Agent in determining such amounts may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods generally applied by such Lender or the Agent. 

§4.10 Capital Adequacy. If after the date hereof any Lender in good faith determines that (a) the adoption of or change in
any law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital requirements for banks or bank holding companies or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof, or
(b) compliance by such Lender or its parent bank holding company with any guideline, request or directive of any such entity regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on such
Lender’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s Loan to a level below that which such Lender or holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration
such Lender’s or such holding company’s then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then such Lender may
notify the Borrower thereof. The Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender the amount of such reduction in the return on capital as 

  
 40 








 
and when such reduction is determined, upon presentation by such Lender of a statement of the amount setting forth the Lender’s calculation thereof. In determining such amount, such Lender
may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods generally applied by such Lender. For purposes of §4.9 and §4.10, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, publications, orders,
guidelines and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar
authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall be deemed to have been adopted and gone into effect after the date hereof regardless of when adopted, enacted or issued. 

§4.11 Breakage Costs. The Borrower shall pay all Breakage Costs required to be paid by it pursuant to this Agreement and incurred
from time to time by any Lender upon demand within fifteen (15) days from receipt of written notice from Agent, or such earlier date as may be required by this Agreement. 

§4.12 Default Interest. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and regardless of whether or
not the Agent or the Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans, all Loans shall bear interest payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2.0%) above an amount equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable
Margin in effect from time to time (the “Default Rate”), until such amount shall be paid in full (after as well as before judgment), or if any of such amounts shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by law, then at the maximum rate
permitted by law. 
 §4.13 Certificate. A certificate setting forth any amounts payable pursuant to §4.8, §4.9,
§4.10, §4.11 or §4.12 and a reasonably detailed explanation of such amounts which are due, submitted by any Lender or the Agent to the Borrower, shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 

§4.14 Limitation on Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, all
agreements between or among the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lenders and the Agent, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of acceleration of the
maturity of any of the Obligations or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received by the Lenders exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be
payable to the Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to the Lenders shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under applicable law; and if from any circumstance the Lenders shall ever receive anything of value
deemed interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Obligations and to the payment of interest or, if such excessive
interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Obligations, such excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated,
allocated and spread throughout the full period until 

  
 41 








 
payment in full of the principal of the Obligations (including the period of any renewal or extension thereof) so that the interest thereon for such full period shall not exceed the maximum
amount permitted by applicable law. This §shall control all agreements between or among the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lenders and the Agent. 

§4.15 Certain Provisions Relating to Increased Costs. If a Lender gives notice of the existence of the circumstances set forth in
§4.7 or any Lender requests compensation for any losses or costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any one or more of the provisions of §4.4(b) (as a result of the imposition of U.S. withholding taxes on amounts paid to such Lender under this
Agreement), §4.9 or §4.10, then, upon request of the Borrower, such Lender, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts in a manner consistent with such institution’s practice in connection with loans like the Loan of such Lender to
eliminate, mitigate or reduce amounts that would otherwise be payable by the Borrower under the foregoing provisions, provided that such action would not be otherwise prejudicial to such Lender, including, without limitation, by designating
another of such Lender’s offices, branches or affiliates; the Borrower agreeing to pay all reasonably incurred costs and expenses incurred by such Lender in connection with any such action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and if (a) any Lender has given notice of the existence of the circumstances set forth in §4.7, (b) has requested payment or compensation for any losses
or costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any one or more of the provisions of §4.4(b) (as a result of the imposition of U.S. withholding taxes on amounts paid to such Lender under this Agreement), §4.9 or §4.10 and following the request
of the Borrower has been unable to take the steps described above to mitigate such amounts or (c) is a Defaulting Lender (each, an “Affected Lender”), then, within thirty (30) days after such notice or request for payment or
compensation or such Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender, as applicable, the Borrower shall have the one-time right as to such Affected Lender, to be exercised by delivery of written notice delivered to the Agent and the Affected Lender within
thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice or such Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender, as applicable, to elect to cause the Affected Lender to transfer its Loan in accordance with the terms of §18. The Agent shall promptly notify the
remaining Lenders that each of such Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire a portion of the Loan, pro rata based upon their relevant Credit Percentages, of the Affected Lender (or if any of such Lenders does not elect to
purchase its pro rata share, then to such remaining Lenders in such proportion as approved by the Agent). In the event that the Lenders do not elect to acquire all of the Affected Lender’s Loan then the Agent and Borrower shall endeavor to
obtain a new Lender to acquire such remaining Loan that is reasonably acceptable to Agent and Borrower. Upon any such purchase of the Loan of the Affected Lender, the Affected Lender’s interest in the Obligations and its rights hereunder and
under the Loan Documents shall terminate at the date of purchase, and the Affected Lender, shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest. The purchase price for the Affected Lender’s Loan
shall equal any and all amounts outstanding and owed by the Borrower to the Affected Lender, including principal, prepayment premium or fee, and all accrued and unpaid interest or fees and all other Obligations owing to such Lender. 

§4.16 Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Loans. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Article shall be
made as though such 

  
 42 








 
Lender had actually funded LIBOR Loans through the purchase of deposits in the relevant market bearing interest at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loans in an amount equal to the amount of the
LIBOR Loans and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be used only for calculation of amounts
payable under this Article. 
  

	§5.	UNSECURED OBLIGATIONS; GUARANTY. 

 §5.1 Unsecured Obligations. The Lenders made the
Loans to the Borrower on an unsecured basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Obligations shall be guaranteed pursuant to the terms of the Guaranty. 

§5.2 Additional Subsidiary Guarantors. 

(a) Borrowing Base Guarantors. In the event that the Borrower shall request that certain Real Estate of a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of
the Borrower (or as permitted in clause (e) of the definition of Change of Control, Borrower and REIT) be included as an Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property and such Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower has incurred, acquired, suffered to
exist or otherwise is liable with respect to Indebtedness that is not Non-Recourse Indebtedness, the Borrower shall as a condition thereto, in addition to the requirements of §7.17, cause each such Wholly Owned Subsidiary to execute and deliver
to Agent a Joinder Agreement (and if such Subsidiary is the first Subsidiary Guarantor, then such Subsidiary Guarantor, Borrower and REIT shall execute and deliver a Contribution Agreement), and such Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor
hereunder. Further, as a condition to any Subsidiary of the Borrower (or, as applicable, Borrower and REIT) that owns a Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property or other assets the value of which is included in the determination of Unencumbered Asset
Value at any time incurring, acquiring, suffering to exist or otherwise becoming liable with respect to Indebtedness that is not Non-Recourse Indebtedness, Borrower shall cause such Subsidiary to execute and deliver to Agent a Joinder Agreement (and
if such Subsidiary is the first Subsidiary Guarantor, then such Subsidiary Guarantor, Borrower and REIT shall execute and deliver a Contribution Agreement), and such Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. 

(b) Other Subsidiary Guarantors. Borrower shall cause any Subsidiary of the Borrower or REIT that is the borrower or co-borrower under,
guarantees, or otherwise becomes obligated in respect of, any Indebtedness that is not Non-Recourse Indebtedness of the REIT or any other Subsidiary of the REIT, to simultaneously execute and deliver to Agent a Joinder Agreement (and if such
Subsidiary is the first Subsidiary Guarantor, then such Subsidiary Guarantor, Borrower and REIT shall execute and deliver a Contribution Agreement), and such Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. 

(c) Requirements. Any Subsidiary subject to clauses (a) or (b) above shall not be restricted by its respective organizational
documents and applicable law, from serving as a Guarantor hereunder. The Borrower shall further cause all representations, covenants and 

  
 43 








 
agreements in the Loan Documents with respect to the Guarantors to be true and correct with respect to each such Subsidiary or other entity. In connection with the delivery of such Joinder
Agreement, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent such organizational agreements, resolutions, consents, opinions and other documents and instruments as the Agent may reasonably require. 

(d) Colonial LP. Notwithstanding §5.2(a) or (b) of this Agreement, provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default
exists; (ii) Borrower or REIT, as applicable, maintains a Credit Rating of at least BBB- from S&P or Baa3 from Moody’s; and (iii) Colonial LP has no Indebtedness that is not Non-Recourse Indebtedness other than the CLP Bonds
and/or CLP Guaranties, Colonial LP shall not be required to become or shall be released as a Subsidiary Guarantor. If Colonial LP incurs, acquires, suffers to exist or otherwise is or becomes liable with respect to any Indebtedness that is not
Non-Recourse Indebtedness other than CLP Bonds and/or CLP Guaranties or renews or extends the CLP Bonds, then Colonial LP shall be required to immediately become a Subsidiary Guarantor. 

§5.3 Release of a Subsidiary Guarantor. The Borrower may request in writing that the Agent release, and upon receipt of such
request the Agent shall release (subject to the terms hereof), a Subsidiary Guarantor from the Guaranty so long as: (a) no Default or Event of Default shall then be in existence or would occur as a result of such release; (b) the Agent
shall have received such written request at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the requested date of release (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the Agent in its sole discretion); and (c) such Subsidiary Guarantor is no
longer required to be a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the terms of §5.2(a) or (b). Delivery by the Borrower to the Agent of any such request for a release shall constitute a representation by the Borrower that the matters set forth in the
preceding sentence (both as of the date of the giving of such request and as of the date of the effectiveness of such request) are true and correct with respect to such request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the foregoing provisions shall not apply
to REIT, which may only be released upon the written approval of Agent and all of the Lenders.

pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute substantially more than “reasonably equivalent value” (as such term is used in §548 of the Bankruptcy Code) and “valuable consideration,” “fair
value,” and “fair consideration,” (as such terms are used in any applicable state fraudulent conveyance law), in exchange for the benefits to be provided by the Borrower and the Guarantors pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and but for the willingness of each Guarantor to be a guarantor of the Loan, the Borrower would be unable to obtain the financing contemplated hereunder which financing will enable the Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective
Subsidiaries to have available financing to conduct and expand their business. The Borrower and the Guarantors further acknowledge and agree that the Borrower and the Guarantors constitute a single integrated and common enterprise and that each

necessary to the conduct of their business. REIT will maintain its status, and election to be treated, as a real estate investment trust. REIT shall continue to own, directly or indirectly, not less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the
economic, voting and beneficial interest in the Borrower and shall be the sole general partner of the Borrower and the Borrower (or as provided in clause (e) of the definition of Change of Control, Borrower and REIT) shall continue to own,
directly or indirectly, one hundred percent (100%) of the economic, voting and beneficial interest in each Borrowing Base Subsidiary. 

(b) The Borrower and each Guarantor (i) will cause all of its properties and those of its Subsidiaries used or useful in the conduct of
its business or the business of its Subsidiaries to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and supplied with all necessary equipment, and (ii) will cause to be made all necessary

 (c) REIT shall, at all times (i) cause its common shares to be duly listed and traded on the
New York Stock Exchange and (ii) file all reports required to be filed by it in connection therewith in a timely manner, after giving effect to any extensions allowed by the New York Stock Exchange or the Securities and Exchange Commission.

governmental charges imposed upon them or upon the Unencumbered Borrowing Base Properties or the other Real Estate, sales and activities, or any part thereof, or upon the income or profits therefrom as well as all claims for labor, materials or
supplies that if unpaid might by law become a lien or charge upon any of its property, except as to Real Estate which is not an Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property to the extent that the failure to do so has not had and could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, provided that any such tax, assessment, charge or levy or claim need not be paid if the validity or amount thereof shall currently be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings which
shall suspend the collection thereof with respect to such property, neither such property nor any portion thereof or interest therein would be in any danger of sale, forfeiture or loss by reason of such proceeding and the Borrower, such Guarantor or
any such Subsidiary shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP; and provided, further, that forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings to foreclose any lien that may have attached as security
therefor, the Borrower, such Guarantor or any such Subsidiary either (i) will provide a bond issued by a surety reasonably acceptable to the Agent and sufficient to stay all such proceedings or (ii) if no such bond is provided, will pay
each such tax, assessment, charge or levy. 
 §7.9 Inspection of Properties and Books. The Borrower and the Guarantors will, and

respective Subsidiaries (subject to the rights of tenants under their Leases), to examine the books of account of the Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries (and to make copies thereof and extracts therefrom) and to discuss the
affairs, finances and accounts of the Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries with, and to be advised as to the same by, their respective officers, partners or members, all at such reasonable times and intervals as the Agent or
any Lender may reasonably request, provided that so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall not be required to pay for such visits and inspections. The Lenders shall use good faith
efforts to coordinate such visits and inspections so as to minimize the interference with and disruption to the normal business operations of the Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries. 

  
 60 








 §7.10 Compliance with Laws, Contracts, Licenses, and Permits. The Borrower and the
Guarantors will, and will cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, comply in all respects with (i) all applicable laws and regulations now or hereafter in effect wherever its business is conducted, including all Environmental Laws,
(ii) the provisions of its corporate charter, partnership agreement, limited liability company agreement or declaration of trust, as the case may be, and other charter documents and bylaws, (iii) all agreements and instruments to which it
is a party or by which it or any of its properties may be bound, (iv) all applicable decrees, orders, and judgments, and (v) all licenses and permits required by applicable laws and regulations for the conduct of its business or the
ownership, use or operation of its properties, except where a failure to so comply with any of clauses (i) through (v) could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. If any authorization, consent, approval, permit or
license from any officer, agency or instrumentality of any government shall become necessary or required in order that the Borrower, the Guarantors or their respective Subsidiaries may fulfill any of its obligations hereunder, the Borrower, the
Guarantors or such Subsidiary will immediately take or cause to be taken all steps necessary to obtain such authorization, consent, approval, permit or license and furnish the Agent and the Lenders with evidence thereof. 

§7.11 Further Assurances. The Borrower and the Guarantors will, and will cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, cooperate
with the Agent and the Lenders and execute such further instruments and documents as the Lenders or the Agent shall reasonably request to carry out to their satisfaction the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 §7.12 Limiting Agreements. 

(a) Neither Borrower, the Guarantors nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall enter into, any agreement, instrument or transaction which
has or may have the effect of prohibiting or limiting Borrower’s, the Guarantors’ or any of their respective Subsidiaries’ ability to pledge to Agent any Unencumbered Borrowing Base Properties as security for the Obligations. Borrower
shall take, and shall cause the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries to take, such actions as are necessary to preserve the right and ability of Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries to pledge such assets as security for
the Obligations without any such pledge after the date hereof causing or permitting the acceleration (after the giving of notice or the passage of time, or otherwise) of any other Indebtedness of Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective
Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this §7.12, the provisions of this §7.12 shall not apply to any agreement evidencing other Unsecured Indebtedness of the Borrower, REIT or any of their respective Subsidiaries which
requires the use of Unencumbered Borrowing Base Properties as a borrowing base for other Unsecured Indebtedness or which contains financial covenants of a similar type to those in §9.2 and §9.3 of this Agreement. 

(b) Borrower shall, upon demand, provide to the Agent such evidence as the Agent may reasonably require to evidence compliance with this
§7.12, which evidence shall 

  
 61 








 
include, without limitation, copies of any agreements or instruments which would in any way restrict or limit the Borrower’s, any Guarantor’s or any Subsidiary’s ability to pledge
Unencumbered Borrowing Base Properties as security for Indebtedness, or which provide for the occurrence of a default (after the giving of notice or the passage of time, or otherwise) if Unencumbered Borrowing Base Properties are pledged in the
future as security for Indebtedness of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any Borrowing Base Subsidiary. 
 §7.13 Ownership of Real
Estate. Without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, all Real Estate and all interests (whether direct or indirect) of the Borrower or REIT in any real estate acquired or leased after the date hereof shall be owned or leased
directly by the REIT, Borrower or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower or REIT; provided, however that the Borrower and REIT shall be permitted to own or lease interests in Real Estate through non-Wholly Owned Subsidiaries and
Unconsolidated Entities as permitted by §8.3 and may dispose of such interests as permitted by §8.8. 
 §7.14 Business
Operations. The Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries shall operate their respective businesses in substantially the same manner and in substantially the same fields and lines of business as such business is now conducted
and in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Loan Documents. The Borrower and the Guarantors will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, engage in any line of business other than the
ownership, operation, management and development of multifamily properties (or other types of properties so long as such other types of properties do not constitute a substantial part of the business of the Borrower, the Guarantors and their
respective Subsidiaries) or businesses incidental thereto (including ancillary attached retail). 
 §7.15 Distributions of Income to
Borrower. The Borrower shall cause all of its Subsidiaries that are not Subsidiary Guarantors (subject to the terms of any loan documents under which such Subsidiary is the borrower) to promptly distribute to the Borrower (but not less
frequently than once each fiscal quarter, unless otherwise approved by the Agent), whether in the form of dividends, distributions or otherwise, all profits, proceeds or other income relating to or arising from its Subsidiaries’ use, operation,
financing, refinancing, sale or other disposition of their respective assets and properties after (a) the payment by each Subsidiary of its debt service, operating expenses, capital improvements and leasing commissions for such quarter and
(b) the establishment of reasonable reserves for the payment of operating expenses not paid on at least a quarterly basis and capital improvements to be made to such Subsidiary’s assets and properties approved by such Subsidiary in the
course of its business consistent with its past practices. Neither the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their Subsidiaries shall enter into any agreement that limits the ability of any Subsidiary to make a dividend or distribution payment to the
Borrower or any Guarantor or to otherwise transfer any property to the Borrower or any Guarantor, provided, however, that this sentence shall not prohibit (a) any negative pledge incurred or provided in favor of any holder of
Indebtedness permitted under §8.1(f) solely to the extent any such negative pledge relates to the property financed by or the subject of such Indebtedness or (b) limitations on dividends and distributions of the Borrower and the REIT
contained in any agreement evidencing other Unsecured Indebtedness of the Borrower, REIT or any of their respective Subsidiaries so long as such limitations are no more restrictive than those contained in §8.7 of this Agreement.

(iii) if such Real Estate is owned by a Borrowing Base Subsidiary (other than Colonial LP), the only assets of such Borrowing Base Subsidiary

 (x) such Eligible Real Estate has not been removed from the calculation of Unencumbered Adjusted NOI
or Unencumbered Asset Value pursuant to §7.17(c), §7.17(d) or §7.17(e). 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event

(c) In the event that all or any material portion of any Eligible Real Estate included in the calculation of Unencumbered Adjusted NOI or

 §12.5 Distribution of Proceeds.
In the event that, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any monies are received in connection with the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or otherwise with respect to the realization upon any of the
assets of the Borrower or the Guarantors, such monies shall be distributed for application as follows: 
 (a) First, to the payment of, or
(as the case may be) the reimbursement of the Agent for or in respect of, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses, disbursements and losses which shall have been paid, incurred or sustained by the Agent in connection with the collection of such
monies by the Agent, for the exercise, protection or enforcement by the Agent of all or any of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in support of any
provision of adequate indemnity to the Agent against any taxes or liens which by law shall have, or may have, priority over the rights of the Agent or the Lenders to such monies; 

(b) Second, to all other Obligations (including any interest, expenses or other obligations incurred after the commencement of a bankruptcy)
in such order or preference as the Required Lenders shall determine; provided, that (i) distributions in respect of such other Obligations shall include, on a pari passu basis, any Agent’s fee payable pursuant to §4.3;
(ii) in the event that any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, payments to such Lender shall be governed by §2.13; and (iii) except as otherwise provided in clause (ii), Obligations owing to the Lenders with respect to each type of
Obligation such as interest, principal, fees and expenses shall be made among the Lenders pro rata; and provided, further that the Required Lenders may in their discretion make proper allowance to take into account any Obligations not
then due and payable; and 
 (c) Third, the excess, if any, shall be returned to the Borrower or to such other Persons as are entitled
thereto. 
 §12.6 Reserved.

	§13.	SETOFF. 

 Regardless of the adequacy of any collateral, during the continuance of any
Event of Default, any deposits (general or specific, time or demand, provisional or final, regardless of currency, maturity, or the branch where such deposits are held) or other sums credited by or due from any Lender to the Borrower or the
Guarantors and any securities or other property of the Borrower or the Guarantors in the possession of such Lender may, without notice to the Borrower or any Guarantor (any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower and the Guarantors) but
with the prior written approval of the Agent and the Required Lenders, be applied to or set off against the payment of Obligations and any and all other liabilities, direct, or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or
hereafter arising, of the Borrower or the Guarantors to such Lender, Agent will promptly provide Borrower with notice of any such set off of which Agent has received written notice. Each of the Lenders agrees with each other Lender that if such
Lender shall receive from the Borrower or a Guarantor, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of the right of setoff, or otherwise, and shall retain and apply to the payment of the Note or Notes held by such Lender any amount in excess of its
ratable portion of the payments received by all of the Lenders with respect to the Notes held by all of the Lenders, such Lender will make such disposition and arrangements with the other Lenders with respect to such excess, either by way of
distribution, pro tanto assignment of claims, subrogation or otherwise as shall result in each Lender receiving in respect of the Notes held by it its proportionate payment as contemplated by this Agreement; provided that if all or any
part of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such disposition and arrangements shall be rescinded and the amount restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. In the event that any Defaulting Lender shall
exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such
Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and (b) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to
such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. 
  

	§14.	THE AGENT. 

 §14.1 Authorization. The Agent is authorized to take such action on
behalf of each of the Lenders and to exercise all such powers as are hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents and any related documents delegated to the Agent, together with such powers as are reasonably incident thereto, provided that no
duties or responsibilities not expressly assumed herein or therein shall be implied to have been assumed by the Agent. The obligations of the Agent hereunder are primarily administrative in nature, and nothing contained in this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents shall be construed to constitute the Agent as a trustee for any Lender or to create an agency or fiduciary relationship. Agent shall act as the contractual representative of the Lenders hereunder, and notwithstanding the use
of the term “Agent”, it is understood and agreed that Agent shall not have any fiduciary duties or responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and is acting as an independent contractor, the duties
and responsibilities of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise 

  
 82 








 
set forth herein, any action taken by the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of the powers set
forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. 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 Required 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 may 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 Required Lenders
have directed the Agent otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders, or where applicable, all the Lenders. The Borrower and any other Person shall be entitled to conclusively rely on a statement from the Agent that it has the authority to act for
and bind the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 §14.2 Employees and Agents. The Agent may
exercise its powers and execute its duties by or through employees or agents and shall be entitled to take, and to rely on, advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. The Agent may utilize the services of such Persons as the Agent may reasonably determine, and all reasonable fees and expenses of any such Persons shall be paid by the Borrower. 

§14.3 No Liability. Neither the Agent nor any of its shareholders, directors, officers or employees nor any other Person assisting
them in their duties nor any agent, or employee thereof, shall be liable for (a) any waiver, consent or approval given or any action taken, or omitted to be taken, in good faith by it or them hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents,
or in connection herewith or therewith, or be responsible for the consequences of any oversight or error of judgment whatsoever, except that the Agent or such other Person, as the case may be, shall be liable for losses due to its willful misconduct
or gross negligence as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the expiration of all applicable appeal periods or (b) any action taken or not taken by Agent with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or,
where required hereunder, all of the affected Lenders). The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees
required to be paid to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to the Loan Documents and describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and
stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. 

  
 83 








 §14.4 No Representations. The Agent shall not be responsible for the execution or
validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes, any of the other Loan Documents or any instrument at any time constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security for the Notes, or for the value of any such collateral security or
for the validity, enforceability or collectability of any such amounts owing with respect to the Notes, or for any recitals or statements, warranties or representations made herein, or any agreement, instrument or certificate delivered in connection
therewith or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate or instrument hereafter furnished to it by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the
performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein or in any of the other Loan Documents. The Agent shall not be bound to ascertain whether any notice, consent, waiver or request delivered to it by the
Borrower, the Guarantors or any holder of any of the Notes shall have been duly authorized or is true, accurate and complete. The Agent has not made nor does it now make any representations or warranties, express or implied, nor does it assume any
liability to the Lenders, with respect to the creditworthiness or financial condition of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or the value of any collateral or any other assets of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any
of their respective Subsidiaries. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based upon such information and documents as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis
and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, based upon such information and documents as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to
make its own credit analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Agent’s Special Counsel has only represented Agent in connection with the Loan Documents and the only attorney client
relationship or duty of care is between Agent’s Special Counsel and Agent. Each Lender has been independently represented by separate counsel on all matters regarding the Loan Documents. 

§14.5 Payments. 

(a) A payment by the Borrower or the Guarantors to the Agent hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents for the account of any Lender
shall constitute a payment to such Lender. The Agent agrees to distribute to each Lender not later than one (1) Business Day after the Agent’s receipt of good funds, determined in accordance with the Agent’s customary practices, such
Lender’s pro rata share of payments received by the Agent for the account of the Lenders except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, each payment by the Borrower hereunder shall be applied in accordance with §2.13(b). 

(b) If in the opinion of the Agent the distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder, under the Notes or under any of
the other Loan Documents might involve it in liability, it may refrain from making such distribution until its right to make such distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction. If a court of


  
 84 








 
competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to
the Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court. 

§14.6 Holders of Notes. Subject to the terms of §18, the Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the absolute owner
or purchaser thereof for all purposes hereof until it shall have been furnished in writing with a different name by such payee or by a subsequent holder, assignee or transferee. 

§14.7 Indemnity. The Lenders ratably agree hereby to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent from and against any and all claims,
actions and suits (whether groundless or otherwise), losses, damages, costs, expenses (including any expenses for which the Agent has not been reimbursed by the Borrower as required by §15), and liabilities of every nature and character arising
out of or related to this Agreement, the Notes, or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated or evidenced hereby or thereby, or the Agent’s actions taken hereunder or thereunder, except to the extent that any of the same
shall be directly caused by the Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the expiration of all applicable appeal periods. The agreements in this §14.7 shall survive the
payment of all amounts payable under the Loan Documents. 
 §14.8 Agent as Lender. In its individual capacity, U.S. Bank shall
have the same obligations and the same rights, powers and privileges in respect to the Loan made by it, and as the holder of any of the Notes as it would have were it not also the Agent. 

§14.9 Resignation; Removal. The Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice
thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. The Agent may be removed as Agent by all of the Lenders (other than the Lender then acting as Agent) and the Borrower upon 30 days’ prior written notice if the Agent (i) is found by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to have committed gross negligence or willful misconduct in the course of performing its duties hereunder or (ii) has become or is insolvent or has become the subject of a bankruptcy or
insolvency proceeding, or has had a receiver, conservator, trustee or custodian appointed for it, or has taken any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such proceeding or appointment. Upon any
such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders, subject to the terms of §18.1, shall have the right to appoint as a successor Agent any Lender or any bank whose senior debt obligations are rated not less than “A2” or its equivalent
by Moody’s or not less than “A” or its equivalent by S&P and which has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000.00. Unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such successor Agent shall be
reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no successor Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring
Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be any 

  
 85 








 
Lender or any financial institution whose senior debt obligations are rated not less than “A2” or its equivalent by Moody’s or not less than “A” or its equivalent by
S&P and which has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000.00. Unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such successor Agent shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, which acceptance shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent, and the
retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder as Agent. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or its removal, the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in effect for
its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent. Upon any change in the Agent under this Agreement, the resigning or removed Agent shall execute such assignments of and amendments to the Loan
Documents as may be necessary to substitute the successor Agent for the resigning or removed Agent. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Agent may assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents to any of its
Affiliates by giving the Borrower and each Lender prior written notice. 
 §14.10 Duties in the Case of Enforcement. In case one
or more Events of Default have occurred and shall be continuing, and whether or not acceleration of the Obligations shall have occurred, the Agent may and, if (a) so requested by the Required Lenders and (b) the Lenders have provided to
the Agent such additional indemnities and assurances in accordance with their respective Credit Percentages, against expenses and liabilities as the Agent may reasonably request, shall proceed to exercise all or any legal and equitable and other
rights or remedies as it may have; provided, however, that unless and until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect
to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Agent reasonably determines payment is in the best interest of all the Lenders, Agent may without
the approval of the Lenders pay taxes and insurance premiums and spend money for maintenance, repairs or other expenses which may be necessary to be incurred, and Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Lenders of such action. Each Lender shall,
within thirty (30) days of request therefor, pay to the Agent its Credit Percentage of the reasonable costs incurred by the Agent in taking any such actions hereunder to the extent that such costs shall not be promptly reimbursed to the Agent
by the Borrower within such period. The Required Lenders may direct the Agent in writing as to the method and the extent of any such exercise, the Lenders hereby agreeing to indemnify and hold the Agent harmless in accordance with their respective
Credit Percentage from all liabilities incurred in respect of all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such directions except to the extent that any of the same shall be directly caused by the Agent’s willful misconduct or gross
negligence as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, provided that the Agent need not comply with any such direction to the extent that the Agent reasonably believes the Agent’s compliance with such direction to be
unlawful in any applicable jurisdiction or commercially unreasonable in any applicable jurisdiction. 
 §14.11 Agent May File Proofs
of Claim. In the event a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding is commenced by or against Borrower or any Guarantor, the Agent shall 

  
 86 








 
have the sole and exclusive right to file and pursue a joint proof claim on behalf of all Lenders. Any votes with respect to such claims or otherwise with respect to such proceedings shall be
subject to the vote of the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders as required by this Agreement. Each Lender irrevocably waives its right to file or pursue a separate proof of claim in any such proceedings unless Agent fails to file such claim
within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from the Lenders requesting that Agent file such proof of claim. 
 §14.12
Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message,
Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by an Authorized Officer. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone
and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction
of a Lender, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be
counsel for the Borrower and/or the Guarantors), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

 §14.13 Approvals. If consent of the Required Lenders is required for some action under this Agreement, or except as otherwise
provided herein an approval of the Required Lenders is required or permitted under this Agreement, each Lender agrees to give the Agent, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the request for action together with all reasonably requested
information related thereto (or such lesser period of time required by the terms of the Loan Documents), notice in writing of approval or disapproval (collectively “Directions”) in respect of any action requested or proposed in writing
pursuant to the terms hereof. To the extent that any Lender does not approve any recommendation of Agent, such Lender shall in such notice to Agent describe the actions that would be acceptable to such Lender. If consent is required for the
requested action, any Lender’s failure to respond to a request for Directions within the required time period shall be deemed to constitute a Direction to take such requested action. In the event that any recommendation is not approved by the
requisite number of Lenders and a subsequent approval on the same subject matter is requested by Agent, then for the purposes of this paragraph each Lender shall be required to respond to a request for Directions within five (5) Business Days
of receipt of such request. Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to assume that any officer of the other Lenders delivering any notice, consent, certificate or other writing is authorized to give such notice, consent, certificate or other writing
unless Agent and such other Lenders have otherwise been notified in writing. The provisions of this §14.13 shall not apply to any matter requiring approval of all Lenders or all affected Lenders. 

§14.14 Borrower Not Beneficiary. Except for the provisions of §14.9 relating to the appointment of a successor Agent, the
provisions of this §14 are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, may not be enforced by the Borrower, and except for the provisions of §14.9, may be modified or waived without the approval or consent of the Borrower. 

  
 87 








 §14.15 Lender Credit Decision. Each of the Lenders expressly acknowledges and agrees
that neither the Agent nor any of its Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to such Lender and that no act by the Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Subsidiary or
Affiliate, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Agent to or any Lender. Each of the Lenders acknowledges that it has made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Agent, or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on the financial statements of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties,
the other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the other 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. Each of the Lenders also acknowledges that it will, independently and
without reliance upon the Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Agent, 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. The Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrower or any Guarantor of the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the
properties or books of, or make any other investigation of, the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Subsidiary. 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 or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Agent or any of its Affiliates. 
  

	§15.	EXPENSES. 

 The Borrower and the Guarantors agree to pay (a) the reasonable costs of
producing and reproducing this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other agreements and instruments mentioned herein, (b) any imposed taxes (including any interest and penalties in respect thereto) payable by the Agent or any of the
Lenders (other than taxes based upon the Agent’s or any Lender’s gross or net income), and including any taxes payable on or with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and further including any such taxes payable by
the Agent or any of the Lenders after the Closing Date (the Borrower and the Guarantors hereby agreeing to indemnify the Agent and each Lender with respect thereto), (c) the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the counsel to the
Agent and any local counsel to the Agent incurred in connection with the preparation, administration, or interpretation of the Loan Documents and other instruments mentioned herein, and amendments, modifications, approvals, consents or waivers

Agent in connection with the preparation or interpretation of the Loan Documents and other instruments mentioned herein, the making of each advance hereunder, and any assignment of Loans pursuant to §18 (without duplication of those items
addressed in subparagraph (d), above), (f) all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, and the reasonable fees and costs of appraisers, engineers, investment bankers or other experts retained by any Lender
or the Agent) incurred by any Lender or the Agent in connection with (i) the enforcement of or preservation of rights under any of the Loan Documents against the Borrower and the Guarantors or the administration thereof after the occurrence of
a Default or Event of Default, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with any workout, restructuring or negotiation with respect thereto following the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default and (ii) any

dissemination and sharing of documents and information in connection with the Loans. The covenants of this §15 shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the obligations of the Lenders hereunder. 

 

	§16.	INDEMNIFICATION. 

 The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, the Lenders and
each Arranger and each director, officer, employee, agent and Affiliate thereof and Person who controls the Agent or any Lender or an Arranger against any and all claims, actions and suits, whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against any
and all liabilities, losses, damages and expenses of every nature and character arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or the Transactions, including,
without limitation, (a) any and all claims for brokerage, leasing, finders or similar fees which may be made relating to the Unencumbered Borrowing Base Properties or the Loans, (b) any condition of the Unencumbered Borrowing Base
Properties or any other Real Estate, (c) any actual or proposed use by the Borrower of the proceeds of any of the Loans, (d) any actual or alleged infringement of any patent, copyright, trademark, service mark or similar right of the
Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (e) the Borrower and the Guarantors entering into or performing this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (f) any actual or alleged violation of any law, ordinance,

respective properties and assets, the violation of any Environmental Law, the Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Substances or any action, suit, proceeding or investigation brought or threatened with respect to any Hazardous Substances
(including, but not limited to, claims with respect to wrongful death, personal injury, nuisance or damage to property), (h) any use of Intralinks, SyndTrak or any other system for the 

  
 89 








 
dissemination and sharing of documents and information, and (i) shareholder or other lawsuits threatened or filed, or investigation undertaken as a result of the consummation of the
Transactions, in each case including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding; provided, however, that the Borrower and the
Guarantors shall not be obligated under this §16 to indemnify any Person for liabilities arising from such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all
applicable appeal periods. If, and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors under this §16 are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower and the Guarantors hereby agree to make the maximum contribution to the
payment in satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law. The provisions of this §16 shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the obligations of the Lenders hereunder. 

 

	§17.	SURVIVAL OF COVENANTS, ETC. 

 All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made
herein, in the Notes, in any of the other Loan Documents or in any documents or other papers delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to have been
relied upon by the Lenders and the Agent, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by any of them, and shall survive the making by the Lenders of any of the Loans, as herein contemplated, and shall continue in full force and
effect so long as any amount due under this Agreement or the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents remains outstanding or any Lender has any obligation to make any Loans. The indemnification obligations of the Borrower provided herein and in the
other Loan Documents shall survive the full repayment of amounts due and the termination of the obligations of the Lenders hereunder and thereunder to the extent provided herein and therein. All statements contained in any certificate delivered to
any Lender or the Agent at any time by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall constitute representations and warranties by
such Person hereunder. 
  

	§18.	ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATION. 

 §18.1 Conditions to Assignment by Lenders. Except as
provided herein, each Lender may assign to one or more banks or other entities all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Loan and the Note held by it); provided that
(a) the Agent, and, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, the Borrower shall have each given its prior written consent to such assignment, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that such
consent shall not be required for any assignment to another Lender, to an Affiliate of a Lender which is and remains controlled by or is under common control with the assigning Lender, to a Subsidiary which is and remains wholly-owned by such
Lender, or to an Approved Fund), provided further that the Borrower will be deemed to have consented unless it provides notice to the Agent and the assigning Lender of its disapproval within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such request,
(b) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to its Loan, (c) the parties to such


  
 90 








 
assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for recording in the Register (as hereinafter defined) an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement in the form of Exhibit D annexed hereto (an
“Assignment and Acceptance Agreement”), together with any Notes subject to such assignment and an Administrative Questionnaire completed by the assignee Lender, (d) in no event shall any assignment be to any Person controlling,
controlled by or under common control with, or which is not otherwise free from influence or control by, the Borrower or any Guarantor or be a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender, (e) such assignee of a portion of the Loans
shall have a net worth or unfunded commitment as of the date of such assignment of not less than $100,000,000.00 (unless otherwise approved by Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, the Borrower) and (f) such
assignee shall acquire an interest in the Loans of not less than $5,000,000.00 and integral multiples of $1,000,000.00 in excess thereof (or if less, the remaining Loans of the assignor), unless waived by the Agent, and so long as no Default or
Event of Default exists hereunder, the Borrower. Upon execution, delivery, acceptance and recording of such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and all other Loan Documents executed by the
Lenders and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder, (ii) the assigning Lender shall, upon payment to the Agent of the registration fee referred to in
§18.2, be released from its obligations under this Agreement arising after the effective date of such assignment with respect to the assigned portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (iii) the Agent may
unilaterally amend Schedule 1.1 to reflect such assignment. In connection with each assignment, the assignee shall represent and warrant to the Agent, the assignor and each other Lender as to whether such assignee is controlling, controlled
by, under common control with or is not otherwise free from influence or control by, the Borrower and the Guarantors and whether such assignee is a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender. In connection with any assignment of rights
and obligations of any Defaulting Lender, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Agent in an
aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Agent, the applicable pro rata
share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting
Lender to the Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender
hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance
occurs. 
 §18.2 Register. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a
copy of each assignment delivered to it and a register or similar list (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Credit Percentages of and principal amount of the Loans owing to the Lenders from
time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder


  
 91 








 
for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and the Lenders at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon
each such recordation, the assigning Lender agrees to pay to the Agent a registration fee in the sum of $3,500.00. 
 §18.3 New
Notes. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement executed by the parties to such assignment, together with each Note subject to such assignment, the Agent shall record the information contained therein in the Register. Within
five (5) Business Days after receipt of notice of such assignment from Agent, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Agent, in exchange for each surrendered Note, a new Note to the order of such assignee in an amount
equal to the amount assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and, if the assigning Lender has retained some portion of its obligations hereunder, a new Note to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount
equal to the amount retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Notes, shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the surrendered Notes, shall be
dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the assigned Notes. The surrendered Notes shall be canceled and returned to the Borrower. 

§18.4 Participations. Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Lenders or other entities in all or a portion of such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (a) any such sale or participation shall not affect the rights and duties of the selling Lender hereunder, (b) such participation
shall not entitle such participant to any rights or privileges under this Agreement or any Loan Documents, including without limitation, rights granted to the Lenders under §4.8, §4.9 and §4.10, (c) such participation shall not
entitle the participant to the right to approve waivers, amendments or modifications, (d) such participant shall have no direct rights against the Borrower or the Guarantors, (e) such sale is effected in accordance with all applicable
laws, and (f) such participant shall not be a Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with, or which is not otherwise free from influence or control by the Borrower or any of the Guarantors and shall not be a Defaulting Lender
or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender; provided, however, such Lender may agree with the participant that it will not, without the consent of the participant, agree to (i) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of or
interest on the Loan owing to such Lender, (ii) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal, (iii) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon or (iv) release Borrower or any Guarantor (except as otherwise permitted
under this Agreement). 
 §18.5 Pledge by Lender. Any Lender may at any time pledge all or any portion of its interest and
rights under this Agreement (including all or any portion of its Note) to any of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks organized under §4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. §341 or to such other Person as the Agent may approve to secure
obligations of such lenders. No such pledge or the enforcement thereof shall release the pledgor Lender from its obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents. 

  
 92 








 §18.6 No Assignment by the Borrower or the Guarantors. Neither the Borrower nor the
Guarantors shall assign or transfer any of their rights or obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each of the Lenders. 

§18.7 Disclosure. The Borrower and the Guarantors each agree to promptly cooperate with any Lender in connection with any proposed
assignment or participation of all or any portion of its Loan. The Borrower and the Guarantors each agree that in addition to disclosures made in accordance with standard banking practices any Lender may disclose information obtained by such Lender
pursuant to this Agreement to assignees or participants and potential assignees or participants hereunder. Each Lender agrees for itself that it shall use reasonable efforts to hold confidential all non-public information obtained from the Borrower
or the Guarantors that has been identified in writing as confidential by any of them, and shall use reasonable efforts to not disclose such information to any other Person, it being understood and agreed that, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender
may make (a) disclosures to its participants (provided such Persons are advised of the provisions of this §18.7), (b) disclosures to its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, accountants, appraisers, legal counsel and other
professional advisors of such Lender (provided that such Persons who are not employees of such Lender are advised of the provision of this §18.7), (c) disclosures customarily provided or reasonably required by any potential or actual bona
fide assignee, transferee or participant or their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, accountants, appraisers, legal counsel and other professional advisors in connection with a potential or actual assignment or transfer by such
Lender of any Loans or any participations therein (provided such Persons are advised of the provisions of this §18.7), (d) disclosures to bank regulatory authorities or self-regulatory bodies with jurisdiction over such Lender, or
(e) disclosures required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process; provided that, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law, rule, regulation or court order, each Lender
shall notify the Borrower in writing of any request by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof prior to disclosure (other than any such request in connection with any examination of such Lender by such government authority) for
disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information. In addition, each Lender may make disclosure of such information to any contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s
professional advisors (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisors agree to be bound by the provisions of this §18.7). Non-public information shall not include any information which is or subsequently becomes publicly
available other than as a result of a disclosure of such information by a Lender, or prior to the delivery to such Lender is within the possession of such Lender if such information is not known by such Lender to be subject to another
confidentiality agreement with or other obligations of secrecy to the Borrower or the Guarantors, or is disclosed with the prior approval of the Borrower or the Guarantors. Nothing herein shall prohibit the disclosure of non-public information to
the extent necessary to enforce the Loan Documents. 
 §18.8 Amendments to Loan Documents. Upon any such assignment or
participation, the Borrower and the Guarantors shall, upon the request of the Agent, enter into such documents as may be reasonably required by the Agent to modify the Loan Documents to 

  
 93 








 
reflect such assignment or participation; provided, however, no documents or modifications shall increase or otherwise affect the Borrower’s or any Guarantor’s liabilities
hereunder or under any Loan Document. 
 §18.9 Mandatory Assignment. In the event the Borrower requests that certain amendments,
modifications or waivers be made to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents which request is approved by Agent but is not approved by one or more of the Lenders (any such non-consenting Lender shall hereafter be referred to as the
“Non-Consenting Lender”), then, within thirty (30) Business Days after the Borrower’s receipt of notice of such disapproval by such Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrower shall have the right as to such Non-Consenting Lender, to be
exercised by delivery of written notice delivered to the Agent and the Non-Consenting Lender within thirty (30) Business Days of receipt of such notice, to elect to cause the Non-Consenting Lender to transfer its Loan. The Agent shall promptly
notify the remaining Lenders that each of such Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire a portion of the Loan, pro rata based upon their relevant Credit Percentages, of the Non-Consenting Lender (or if any of such Lenders
does not elect to purchase its pro rata share, then to such remaining Lenders in such proportion as approved by the Agent). In the event that the Lenders do not elect to acquire all of the Non-Consenting Lender’s Loan, then the Agent shall
endeavor to find a new Lender or Lenders to acquire such remaining Loan. Upon any such purchase of the Loan of the Non-Consenting Lender, the Non-Consenting Lender’s interests in the Obligations and its rights and obligations hereunder and
under the Loan Documents shall terminate at the date of purchase, and the Non-Consenting Lender shall promptly execute and deliver any and all documents reasonably requested by Agent to surrender and transfer such interest, including, without
limitation, an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D and such Non-Consenting Lender’s original Note. The purchase price for the Non-Consenting Lender’s Loan shall equal any and all amounts
outstanding and owed by the Borrower to the Non-Consenting Lender, including principal and all accrued and unpaid interest or fees, plus any applicable amounts payable pursuant to §4.8 which would be owed to such Non-Consenting Lender if the
Loan were to be repaid in full on the date of such purchase of the Non-Consenting Lender’s Loan (provided that the Borrower may pay to such Non-Consenting Lender any interest, fees or other amounts (other than principal) owing to such
Non-Consenting Lender). 
 §18.10 Titled Agents. The Titled Agents shall not have any additional rights or obligations under the
Loan Documents, except for those rights, if any, as a Lender.

fiduciary duty to the Borrower, the Guarantors or their respective Subsidiaries arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder, and the relationship between
each Lender and Agent, and the Borrower is solely that of a lender and borrower, and nothing contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents shall in any manner be construed as making the parties hereto partners, joint venturers or any other
relationship other than lender and borrower. 
  

	§21.	GOVERNING LAW; LITIGATION; JURISDICTION; OTHER MATTERS; WAIVERS. 

 §21.1 THIS AGREEMENT
SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE. 

§21.2 EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE AGENT, OR ANY OF THE LENDERS
WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES. ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE AGENT, AND THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO
A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE AGREEMENT REGARDING FEES OR
IN CONNECTION WITH OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE AGENT, OR ANY OF THE LENDERS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS. 

  
 96 








 §21.3 THE BORROWER AND EACH GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT IT WILL
NOT COMMENCE ANY ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR DESCRIPTION, WHETHER IN LAW OR EQUITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR OTHERWISE, AGAINST THE AGENT, ANY LENDER, OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE FOREGOING IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, THE AGREEMENT REGARDING FEES OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATING HERETO OR THERETO, IN ANY FORUM OTHER THAN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY, AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION
OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING
SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE AGENT, OR ANY LENDER MAY OTHERWISE
HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION. EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR
HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME. THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL
NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY THE AGENT, OR ANY LENDER OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY THE AGENT, OR ANY LENDER OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION. 

§21.4 THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE
LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND UNDER THE AGREEMENT REGARDING FEES, AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

terminated, except as provided in §27. 
  

	§25.	WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL AND CERTAIN DAMAGE CLAIMS. 

 EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE AGENT AND THE
LENDERS HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF ANY DISPUTE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY NOTE OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, ANY RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER OR THE
PERFORMANCE OF SUCH RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS. EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY SUCH LITIGATION ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, PUNITIVE OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES OR DAMAGES OR OTHER REMEDIES EXPRESSLY PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT. THE BORROWER (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY LENDER, OR
THE AGENT HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH LENDER OR THE AGENT WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO

	§26.	DEALINGS WITH THE BORROWER AND THE GUARANTORS. 

 The Agent, the Lenders and their Affiliates may
accept deposits from, extend credit to, invest in, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor of, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective
Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates regardless of the capacity of the Agent or the Lender hereunder. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, U.S. Bank or its Affiliates may receive information regarding such Persons (including
information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. 

 

	§27.	CONSENTS, AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS, ETC. 

 Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement,
any consent or approval required or permitted by this Agreement may be given, and any term of this Agreement or of any other instrument related hereto or mentioned herein may be amended, and the performance or observance by the Borrower or the
Guarantors of any terms of this Agreement or such other instrument or the continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the
written consent of the Required Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the following may occur without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby: (a) a reduction in the rate of interest on the Loans (other than a
reduction or waiver of interest at the Default Rate); (b) a forgiveness, reduction or waiver of the principal of any unpaid Loan or any interest thereon (other than interest at the Default Rate) or fee payable under the Loan Documents;
(c) a change in the amount of any fee payable to a Lender hereunder; (d) the postponement of any date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on the Loan; (e) an extension of the Maturity Date; (f) a change in the
manner of distribution of any payments to the Lenders or the Agent; (g) the release of the Borrower or any Guarantor except as otherwise provided in this Agreement; (h) an amendment of the definition of Required Lenders or Credit
Percentage or of any requirement for consent by all of the Lenders; (i) any modification to require a Lender to fund a pro rata share of a Loan Increase except as otherwise agreed by such Lender in accordance with §2.11; (j) an
amendment to this §27; (k) a waiver of any Default or Event of Default under §12.1(a) or §12.1(b); or (k) an amendment of any provision of this Agreement or the Loan Documents which requires the approval of all of the
Lenders or the Required Lenders to require a lesser number of Lenders to approve such action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent
hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders). The provisions of §14 may
not be amended without the written consent of the Agent. In addition, 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. The Borrower and the Guarantors each agree to enter into such modifications or amendments of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents as reasonably may be requested by U.S. Bank
in connection with the syndication of the Loan, provided that no such amendment or modification materially affects or increases any of the obligations of the Borrower or the Guarantors hereunder. No waiver shall extend to or


  
 99 








 
affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall
operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. No notice to or demand upon any of the Borrower or the Guarantors shall entitle the Borrower or the Guarantors to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

  

	§28.	SEVERABILITY. 

 The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if any one clause or
provision hereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction, and shall not in any manner
affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or any other clause or provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction. 
  

	§29.	TIME OF THE ESSENCE. 

 Time is of the essence with respect to each and every covenant, agreement
and obligation of the Borrower and the Guarantors under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
  

	§30.	NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS. 

 THE LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. ANY ADDITIONAL TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES ARE SET
FORTH BELOW. 
  

	§31.	REPLACEMENT NOTES. 

 Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower of the
loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and
cancellation of the applicable Note, the Borrower will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note, identical in form and substance to the applicable Note and dated as of the date of the applicable Note and upon such execution and
delivery all references in the Loan Documents to such Note shall be deemed to refer to such replacement Note. 
  

	§32.	NO THIRD PARTIES BENEFITED. 

 This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are made and entered
into for the sole protection and legal benefit of the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lenders, the Agent and their permitted successors and assigns, and no other Person (other than any Person expressly entitled to indemnification under §15
hereof) shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. All conditions to the performance of the obligations of the
Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement, including the obligation to make Loans, are imposed solely and 

  
 100 








 
exclusively for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume
that the Agent and the Lenders will refuse to make Loans in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall, under any circumstances, be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any and all of which may be
freely waived in whole or in part by the Agent and the Lenders at any time if in their sole discretion they deem it desirable to do so. In particular, the Agent and the Lenders make no representations and assume no obligations as to third parties
concerning the quality of the construction by the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their Subsidiaries of any development or the absence therefrom of defects. 
  

	§33.	PATRIOT ACT. 

 Each Lender and the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby
notifies the Borrower and the Guarantors that, pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and the Guarantors, which information includes names and addresses
and other information that will allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower and the Guarantors in accordance with the Patriot Act. 
  

	§34.	JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. 

 Each of the Borrower and the Guarantors covenants and agrees that
each and every covenant and obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to which each is a party shall be the joint and several obligations of the Borrower and each Guarantor. 

 

	§35.	TERMINATION; SURVIVAL. 

 At such time as all Obligations (other than obligations which survive
as provided in the following sentence) have been paid and satisfied in full, this Agreement shall terminate. The indemnities to which the Agent and the Lenders are entitled under the provisions of §§4.4(b), 4.9, 4.10, 4.11, 14.7, 15 and 16
and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the provisions of §21, shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Agent and the Lenders (i) notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement,
or of the other Loan Documents, against events arising after such termination as well as before and (ii) at all times after any such party ceases to be a party to this Agreement with respect to all matters and events existing on or prior to the
date such party ceased to be a party to this Agreement. 
  

	§36.	EFFECT ON ORIGINAL CREDIT AGREEMENT. 

 (a) Original Credit Agreement. Upon satisfaction
of the conditions precedent set forth in §10 and §11, this Agreement shall exclusively control and govern the mutual rights and obligations of the parties hereto with respect to the Original Credit Agreement, and the Original Credit
Agreement shall be superseded by this Agreement in all respects, in each case, on a prospective basis only. 
 (b) NO NOVATION. THE
PARTIES HERETO HAVE ENTERED INTO THIS AGREEMENT SOLELY TO AMEND AND RESTATE THE TERMS OF, AND THE 

  
 101 








 
OBLIGATIONS OWING UNDER AND IN CONNECTION WITH, THE ORIGINAL CREDIT AGREEMENT PURSUANT TO THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. THE PARTIES DO NOT INTEND THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY TO BE, AND THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED TO BE, A NOVATION OF ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS OWING BY COLONIAL LP UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE ORIGINAL CREDIT AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (AS DEFINED IN THE ORIGINAL CREDIT AGREEMENT).
