(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an  account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each  Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable  and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.  (c) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain the  Register pursuant to Section 10.6(d), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be  recorded (i) the amount of each Term Loan made hereunder and any Note evidencing such Term  Loan, the Type of such Term Loan and each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of  any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to  each Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative  Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.  (d) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender  maintained pursuant to Section 2.5(b) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima  facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded;  provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the  Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation  of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such  Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  (e) The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by  any Lender, the Borrower will promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of  the Borrower evidencing any Term Loans of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit F  (a “Term Loan Note” or a “Note”), with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount;  provided that, delivery of Notes shall not be a condition precedent to the occurrence of the  Effective Date or the making of the Loans on the Effective Date.  2.6 Extension of Term Loan Termination Date.  (a) During the period  commencing not more than 120 days prior to, and ending not less than 30 days prior to, the Term  Loan Termination Date then in effect, the Borrower may request two twelve-month extensions of  the Term Loan Termination Date by delivering to the Administrative Agent a written notice (the  “Extension Request”), which the Administrative Agent shall distribute promptly to the Lenders;  





 






48  CHAR1\1945194v5 provided that, (i) the Borrower may not submit more than two Extension Requests and (ii) the  Term Loan Termination Date, as extended, shall not be later than October 28, 2027.  (b) The first extension of the Term Loan Termination Date (the twelve (12)  month anniversary of the Term Loan Termination Date, the “First Extended Term Loan  Termination Date”) shall become automatically effective on the date on which the following  conditions have been satisfied:  (i) the Administrative Agent shall have received the Extension  Request;  (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be  continuing either on the date that the Borrower delivers the Extension Request, or  on the original Term Loan Termination Date immediately prior to or after giving  effect to such extension; provided that, the Borrower shall deliver a certificate  from a Responsible Officer together with the Extension Request certifying that no  Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such date;  and  (iii) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent, for  distribution to each Lender, a one-time fee in an amount equal to 0.125% of the  aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans then outstanding.  (c) The second extension of the Term Loan Termination Date (the twenty- four (24) month anniversary of the Term Loan Termination Date, the “Second Extended Term  Loan Termination Date”) shall become automatically effective on the date on which the  following conditions have been satisfied:  (i) the Administrative Agent shall have received the Extension  Request;  (ii) the First Extended Term Loan Termination Date shall have  occurred;  (iii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be  continuing either on the date that the Borrower delivers the Extension Request, or  on the First Extended Term Loan Termination Date immediately prior to or after  giving effect to such extension; provided that, the Borrower shall deliver a  certificate from a Responsible Officer together with the Extension Request  certifying that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be  continuing on such date; and  (iv) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent, for  distribution to each Lender, a one-time fee in an amount equal to 0.125% of the  aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans then outstanding).  2.7 Ticking Fees, etc.  (a) During the Availability Period, the Borrower shall  pay to the Administrative Agent, (i) for the account of each Lender in accordance with its  





 






49  CHAR1\1945194v5 Applicable Percentage, a per annum ticking fee (the “Ticking Fee”) equal to 0.20% times the  average daily unused portion of the Total Commitments for the applicable quarterly calculation  period during such Availability Period, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.24.   Accrued Ticking Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of  each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after  the Effective Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period for the Facility.  (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to RCM the fees in the amounts and on the  dates previously agreed to in writing by the Borrower and RCM.  (c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the  amounts and on the dates from time to time agreed to in writing by the Borrower and the  Administrative Agent.  2.8 Termination or Reduction of Commitments.  The Borrower shall have the  right during the Availability Period, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the  Administrative Agent, to terminate the Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the  aggregate amount of the Commitments; provided that, no such termination or reduction of  Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the  Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Outstanding Facility Amount would exceed the  Maximum Facility Availability.  Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000,  or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Commitments then in effect.  2.9 Optional Prepayments.  The Borrower may at any time and from time to  time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (except as otherwise  provided herein), upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than  11:00 A.M. (New York City time) three Business Days prior thereto in the case of Term SOFR  Loans and no later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) one Business Day prior thereto in the  case of Base Rate Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and  whether such prepayment is of Term SOFR Loans or Base Rate Loans; provided that, if a Term  SOFR Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto,  the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.19.  Upon receipt of any  such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.  If any  such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date  specified therein, together with (except in the case of Loans that are Base Rate Loans) accrued  interest to such date on the amount prepaid.  Partial prepayments of Loans shall be in an  aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof.  2.10 Mandatory Prepayments.  If at any date the Outstanding Facility Amount  exceeds the Maximum Facility Availability calculated as of such date, the Borrower shall prepay  the Loans within three Business Days of such date in an aggregate amount equal to or greater  than such excess so that the Outstanding Facility Amount no longer exceeds the Maximum  Facility Availability as of such date.  2.11 Conversion and Continuation Options.  (a) The Borrower may elect from  time to time to convert Term SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative  Agent at least two Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election; provided that, any  





 






50  CHAR1\1945194v5 such conversion of Term SOFR Loans may be made only on the last day of an Interest Period  with respect thereto.  The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Base Rate Loans to  Term SOFR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior  irrevocable notice of such election (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest  Period therefor); provided that, no Base Rate Loan may be converted into a Term SOFR Loan  (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has,  or the Required Lenders have, determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such  conversions or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the Term Loan Termination Date (as  in effect from time to time).  Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall  promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.  (b) The Borrower may elect to continue any Term SOFR Loan as such upon  the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by giving irrevocable notice  to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest  Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such  Loan; provided that, no Term SOFR Loan may be continued as such (i) when any Event of  Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has, or the Required  Lenders have, determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations or  (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the Term Loan Termination Date, and provided,  further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this  paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, such Loans  shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest  Period.  Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each  relevant Lender thereof.  2.12 Minimum Amounts and Maximum Number of Term Benchmark  Tranches.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings,  conversions, continuations and optional prepayments of Term SOFR Loans and all selections of  Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after  giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Term SOFR Loans comprising each  Term Benchmark Tranche shall be equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in  excess thereof and (b) no more than five Term Benchmark Tranches shall be outstanding at any  one time.  2.13 Interest Rates and Payment Dates.  (a) Each Term SOFR Loan shall bear  interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to  the Term SOFR determined for such day, plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day.  (b) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for each day on which it is  outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate in effect for such day, plus the Applicable  Margin in effect for such day.  (c) Each Daily Simple SOFR Loan shall bear interest for each day on which it  is outstanding at a rate per annum equal to Daily Simple SOFR in effect for such day, plus the  Applicable Margin in effect for such day.  





 






51  CHAR1\1945194v5 (d) (i) At any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all  outstanding Loans (to the extent legally permitted) shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is  equal to the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions  of this Section plus 2% and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or any fee  or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by  acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to  the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans plus 2%, in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and  (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (after as well as  before judgment).  (e) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date;  provided that, interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section shall be payable from  time to time on demand.  2.14 Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable  Margin.  (a) Interest, fees and commissions payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the  basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to Base Rate Loans  on which interest is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be  calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days  elapsed.  The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the  Lenders of each determination of Term SOFR.  Any change in the interest rate on a Loan  resulting from a change in the Base Rate or SOFR shall become effective as of the opening of  business on the day on which such change becomes effective.  The Administrative Agent shall as  soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of  each such change in interest rate.  (b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent  pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower  and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error.  The Administrative Agent shall, at the request  of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the  Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.13(a), (b) or (c).  (c) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial  statements of the REIT or for any other reason, the REIT, the Borrower, the Administrative  Agent or the Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as calculated by the  REIT and the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of  the Consolidated Leverage Ratio would have resulted in a higher Applicable Margin for such  period, the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the  Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, promptly on demand by the Administrative  Agent (or, after the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (ii) of Section  8.1(f) with respect to the Borrower, automatically and without further action by the  Administrative Agent or any Lender) an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and  fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid  for such period.  This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any  Lender, as the case may be, under Section 2.13(d) or under Section 8.1.  2.15 Benchmark Replacement Setting.    





 






52  CHAR1\1945194v5 (a) Benchmark Replacement.  (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other  Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, then (A)  if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the  definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date,  such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes  hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting  and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action  or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and  (B) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of  the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement  Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes  hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at  or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the  Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected  Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received,  by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders  comprising the Required Lenders. (ii) No Hedge Agreement shall constitute a “Loan Document” for  purposes of this Section 2.15). (b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.  In connection with the  use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the  Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and,  notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any  amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further  action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.  (c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations.  The Administrative  Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any  Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection  with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement.  The  Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower of the removal or reinstatement of any  tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.15(d).  Any determination, decision or election that  may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders)  pursuant to this Section 2.15, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or  adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any  decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding  absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from  any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as  expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.15.  (d) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark.  Notwithstanding anything to the  contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the  implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate  





 






53  CHAR1\1945194v5 (including any Term Benchmark) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed  on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by  the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark  or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public  statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or  will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of  Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the Administrative  Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for  any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative,  non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i)  above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark  (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement  that it is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International  Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a  Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify  the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark  settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.  (e) Benchmark Unavailability Period.  Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice  of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any  pending request for a Term Benchmark borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term  SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period  and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request  for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans.  During any Benchmark Unavailability  Period or at any time that any tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor,  the component of Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such  Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.  2.16 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.  (a) Each borrowing by the Borrower  from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any fee (including any  Ticking Fee, but excluding any fee payable to the Administrative Agent or RCM for its own  account), and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders, shall be made pro rata  according to the Applicable Percentages of the Lenders.  Each payment of interest in respect of  the Loans and each payment in respect of fees (including Ticking Fees, but excluding any fees  payable to the Administrative Agent or RCM for their its account) payable hereunder shall be  applied to the amounts of such obligations owing to the Lenders pro rata according to the  respective amounts then due and owing to the Lenders.  (b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of  principal of the Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal  amounts of the Loans then held by the Lenders.  (c) The application of any payment of Loans (including optional and  mandatory prepayments) shall be made, first, to Base Rate Loans and, second, to Term SOFR  Loans.  Each payment of the Loans (except in the case of Loans that are Base Rate Loans) shall  be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount paid.  





 






54  CHAR1\1945194v5 (d) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower  hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without  setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 2:00 pm, New York City time, on the due date  thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Payment Office, in  Dollars and in immediately available funds.  Any payment made by the Borrower after 2:00 pm,  New York City time, on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been on the next following  Business Day.  If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Term SOFR Loans)  becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to  the next succeeding Business Day.  If any payment on a Term SOFR Loan becomes due and  payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next  succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment  into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately  preceding Business Day.  In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to  the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during  such extension.  (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by  any Lender prior to a borrowing of Loans that such Lender will not make the amount that would  constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative  Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative  Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to  the Borrower a corresponding amount.  If such amount is not made available to the  Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall  pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to  the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the  Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for  the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative  Agent.  A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any  amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  If such  Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such  Lender within three Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall  also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to  Base Rate Loans, on demand, from the Borrower.  (f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the  Borrower prior to the date of any payment of Loans due to be made by the Borrower hereunder  that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative  Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent  may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the  Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount.  If such payment is not made  to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the  Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any  amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest  thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate.  Nothing  herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the  Borrower.  





 






55  CHAR1\1945194v5 (g) Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of payments on behalf of  Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such payments to the Lender or  Lenders entitled thereto, in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.  2.17 Requirements of Law.  (a) If any Change in Law:  (i) shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with  respect to this Agreement or any Term SOFR Loan made by it, or change the  basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non- Excluded Taxes imposed on amounts payable by the Borrower under this  Agreement, taxes expressly excluded under the provisions of Section 2.18 in  defining “Non-Excluded Taxes” or Other Taxes covered by Section 2.18);  (ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special  deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits  or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of  credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is  not otherwise included in the determination of Term SOFR hereunder; or  (iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition;  and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which  such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Term  SOFR Loans, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such  case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts  necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.  If  any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall  promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason  of which it has become so entitled.  (b) If any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding  capital adequacy or liquidity requirements or in the interpretation or application thereof or  compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or  directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any  Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Effective Date shall have the effect of reducing  the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its  obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have  achieved but for such Change in Law or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or  such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such  Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower  (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to  such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such  corporation for such reduction.  (c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section  submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be  conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this  





 






56  CHAR1\1945194v5 Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all  other amounts payable hereunder.  2.18 Taxes.  (a) All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement  shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any  present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions  or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any  Governmental Authority, excluding (i) net income taxes (however denominated), branch profit  taxes, and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on any Agent or any  Lender as a result of a present or former connection between such Agent or such Lender and the  jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or  taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising from such Agent’s or  such Lender’s having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment  under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document); (ii) taxes that are attributable  to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (e) or (f) of this Section;  (iii) taxes that are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender  at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such  Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts  from the Borrower with respect to such deduction or withholding pursuant to this Section 2.18;  or (iv) any U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed under FATCA.  If any such non-excluded  taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”)  or any Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to any Agent or any  Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to such Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the  extent necessary to yield to such Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded  Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in  the amounts specified in this Agreement.  (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant  Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.  (c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender or the Administrative Agent,  as the case may be, within ten days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Non- Excluded Taxes (including Non-Excluded Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to  amounts payable under this Section 2.18(c)) payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such  Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not  such Non-Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant  Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to  the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative  Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  (d) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the  Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent  for the account of the relevant Agent or Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an  original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof, a copy of the return  reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the  Administrative Agent.  If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes  when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the  





 






57  CHAR1\1945194v5 required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the  Agents and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable  by any Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure, except to the extent that any such  amounts are compensated for by an increased payment under Section 2.18(a).  The agreements in  this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all  other amounts payable hereunder.  (e) Each Lender shall deliver documentation and information to the Borrower  and the Administrative Agent, at the times and in form required by applicable law or reasonably  requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sufficient to permit the Borrower or the  Administrative Agent to determine whether or not payments made with respect to this  Agreement or any other Loan Documents are subject to taxes, and, if applicable, the required rate  of withholding or deduction.  However, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any  documentation or information pursuant to this paragraph that such Lender is not legally able to  deliver.  A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax  under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such  jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the  Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by  applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed  documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without  withholding or at a reduced rate; provided that, such Lender is legally entitled to complete,  execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such  completion, execution or submission would not subject such Lender to any material  unreimbursed cost or expense, and would not materially prejudice the legal or commercial  position of such Lender.  (f) Any Lender (or Transferee) that is a “United States person” within the  meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative  Agent Internal Revenue Service Form W-9.  Each Lender (or Transferee) that in not a “United  States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver  to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant that would be Non- U.S. Lender if it were a Lender (each, a “Non-U.S. Participant”), to the Lender from which the  related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue  Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E or Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY (together with all  required supporting documentation), or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption  from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to  payments of “portfolio interest” a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1, G-2, G-3 or  G-4, as applicable, and a Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, or any subsequent versions  thereof or successors thereto properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender  claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all  payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Such forms  shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this  Agreement (or, in the case of any Non-U.S. Participant, on or before the date such Non-U.S.  Participant purchases the related participation).  In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender (and Non- U.S. Participant) shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any  form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender (and Non-U.S. Participant).  Each Non-U.S.  Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower (or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Participant, the Lender  





 






58  CHAR1\1945194v5 from which the related participation shall have been purchased) at any time it determines that it  is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any  other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose).   Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required  to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to  deliver.  (g) 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 Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time  or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative 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 Administrative  Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative 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 (g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made  to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.  (h) Nothing in this Section 2.18 shall require the Lender to make available  any of its tax returns or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.  2.19 Indemnity.  The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to  hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a  consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or  continuation of Term SOFR Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in  accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any  prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of  this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment or conversion of Term SOFR Loans on a day  that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto.  Such indemnification may  include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have  accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period  from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day  of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest  Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate  of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin  included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such  Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on  deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the applicable interbank market.  A  certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any  Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  This covenant shall survive the  termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable  hereunder.  2.20 Inability to Determine Rates; Illegality.    





 






59  CHAR1\1945194v5 (a) Subject to Section 2.15, if the Administrative Agent determines (which  determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Daily Simple SOFR”  cannot be determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or “Term Benchmark”  cannot be determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement on or prior to the first day  of any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each  Lender.  Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the  Lenders to make or continue Term SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR  Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or, in the case of a  Term Benchmark Borrowing, the affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent  revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending  request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans (to the extent of  the affected Term SOFR Loans or, in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the affected  Interest Periods) or, failing that, in the case of any request for an affected Term Benchmark  Borrowing, then such request shall be ineffective and (ii) any outstanding affected Term SOFR  Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans.  Upon any such conversion,  the Borrower shall also pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.19. If the  Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent  manifest error) that “Daily Simple SOFR” cannot be determined in accordance with the terms of  this Agreement or “Term Benchmark” cannot be determined in accordance with the terms of this  Agreement, in each case on any given day, the interest rate on Base Rate Loans shall be  determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base  Rate” until the Administrative Agent revokes such determination.  (b) If any Lender determines that the adoption of or any change in any  Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof has made it unlawful, or that  any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable  lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to any  Term Benchmark or Daily Simple SOFR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon any  Term Benchmark or Daily Simple SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the  Borrower (through the Administrative Agent), (a) any obligation of such Lender to make or  continue Term SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans shall be  suspended, and (b) the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary  to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause  (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative  Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.   Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy  to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Term SOFR Loans of such  Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if  necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference  to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”), on the Interest Payment Date therefor, if such  Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately,  if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans and (ii) if  necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such  suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to clause (c) of  the definition of “Base Rate” until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender  that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon Daily  





 






60  CHAR1\1945194v5 Simple SOFR or any Term Benchmark.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower  shall also pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.19.  2.21 Change of Lending Office.  Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence  of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.17, 2.18(a) or 2.20 with respect to such  Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy  considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by  such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided that, such  designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and  its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided,  further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of any  Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, 2.18(a) or 2.20.  2.22 Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances.  (a) The Borrower  shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (i) requests reimbursement for amounts owing  pursuant to Section 2.17 or 2.18 or gives a notice of illegality pursuant to Section 2.20, (ii) is a  Defaulting Lender or (iii) is a Non-Consenting Lender with a replacement financial institution;  provided that, (A) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (B) no  Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (C) prior  to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.21 so as to  eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.17 or 2.18 or  to eliminate the illegality referred to in such notice of illegality given pursuant to Section 2.20,  (D) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts  owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (E) the Borrower shall be  liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.19 (as though Section 2.19 were applicable) if any  Term SOFR Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of  the Interest Period relating thereto, (F) the replacement financial institution, if not already a  Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (G) the replaced Lender  shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6  (provided that, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred  to therein), (H) the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to  Section 2.17 or 2.18, as the case may be, in respect of any period prior to the date on which such  replacement shall be consummated, and (I) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a  waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have  against the replaced Lender.  (b) In the event that (i) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has  requested that the Lenders consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan  Documents or agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment requires  the agreement of the Supermajority Lenders, all Lenders or all affected Lenders in accordance  with the terms of Section 10.1 and (iii) the Required Lenders have agreed to such consent,  waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or  amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender”.  2.23 Incremental Borrowings.  (a) At any time after the Effective Date and  prior to the date that is twelve months prior to the Term Loan Termination Date, so long as no  Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may, by delivery of an  





 






61  CHAR1\1945194v5 Incremental Term Loan Facility Notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall promptly  be copied by the Administrative Agent to each Lender, increase or add one or more tranches of  Loans (which shall be term loans) under the Loan Documents pursuant to an Incremental Term  Loan Facility Notice (the “Incremental Term Loan Facilities” and the Loans made thereunder,  the “Incremental Term Loans”).  The Borrower may request Incremental Term Loan Facilities in  an aggregate principal amount up to $110,000,000; provided that, (i) each such Incremental  Term Loan Facility shall be in a minimum amount of not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) at no time  shall the aggregate principal amount of the Loans (including any Incremental Term Loan  Facilities) exceed $200,000,000. (b) [Intentionally Omitted].  (c) (i)For any Incremental Term Loan Facility, the Borrower shall (A) first,  offer each of the existing Lenders the opportunity to provide a pro rata portion of any Incremental  Term Loan Facility, (B) second, offer each of the existing Lenders the opportunity to provide all  or a portion of any Incremental Term Loan Facility not otherwise accepted by the other Lenders  (pursuant to clause (A) above), and (C) third, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which  consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), offer one or more additional banks, financial  institutions or other entities the opportunity to provide all or a portion of such any Incremental  Term Loan Facility not accepted by the existing Lenders (each such additional bank, financial  institution or other entity herein called a “New Term Loan Lender”); provided that, the minimum  amount of Incremental Term Loans under any Incremental Term Loan Facility of any new Term  Loan Lender shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000.  Each Incremental Term Loan Facility  Notice shall specify which banks, financial institutions or other entities the Borrower desires to  provide the portion of such Incremental Term Loan Facility not accepted by the existing Lenders.   The Borrower or, if requested by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, will notify the existing  Lenders, and, if the existing Lenders do not accept the entire Incremental Term Loan Facility, such  banks, financial institutions or other entities offered the opportunity to provide the portion of the  Incremental Term Loan Facility not accepted by the existing Lenders.  (ii) Each Incremental Term Loan Facility will become effective pursuant to an  amendment to this Agreement (each, an “Incremental Amendment”) and, as appropriate,  the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Person providing such  Incremental Term Loan Facility and the Administrative Agent.  Incremental  Amendments may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to  this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the  reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to set forth the  amounts, terms and conditions of the related Incremental Term Loan Facility consistent  with the terms of this Agreement and to effect the provisions of this Section 2.23(c).   Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental  Amendment, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as applicable, will be  amended to the extent necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental  Term Loan Facility and the Incremental Term Loans evidenced thereby.  This  Section 2.23 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.16 or 10.1 to the contrary.  The  Borrower may use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans for any purpose not  prohibited by this Agreement.  





 






62  CHAR1\1945194v5 (iii) Each Incremental Amendment will set forth the amount and terms of the  relevant Incremental Term Loan Facility.  The terms of each Incremental Term Loan  Facility will be as agreed between the Borrower and the Persons providing such  Incremental Term Loan Facility; provided that:  (A) the maturity date of any such Incremental Term Loans will be the  Term Loan Termination Date then in effect, subject to extension in accordance  with Section 2.6;  (B) no Incremental Term Loan Facility shall be guaranteed by any  Person other than a Guarantor;  (d) any Incremental Term Loan Facility shall be on terms and conditions that  are substantially identical to, or, taken as a whole, not materially more favorable to the lenders or  holders providing such Incremental Term Loan Facility than, those applicable to the existing Loans  as of the effective date of such applicable Incremental Term Loan Facility, as determined in good  faith by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower in its reasonable judgment (except any term or  condition to the extent such term or condition is also added for the benefit of the Lenders under  the existing Loans).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.23, (i) in no event  may the Borrower deliver more than three (3) Incremental Term Loan Facility Notices, (ii) in no  event shall there be more than three (3) Incremental Term Loan Facilities and (iii) no Lender shall  have any obligation to increase its Commitment or to commit to provide any portion of an  Incremental Term Loan Facility unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion.  2.24 Defaulting Lender.    (a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments.  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:  (i) 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 definitions of Required Lenders and Supermajority Lenders.  (ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall.  Any payment of principal, interest, fees or  other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting  Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 8 or otherwise)  or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to  Section 10.7 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the  Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such  Defaulting Lender to the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by  the Administrative 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  





 






63  CHAR1\1945194v5 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 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  set forth in Section 5.2 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 any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held  by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments.  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  Section 2.24(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and  each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.  (iii) Certain Fees.  No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee  (including any Ticking Fee) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting  Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would  have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).  (b) Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent  agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so  notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject  to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that  portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the  Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held pro rata by  the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments retroactively with respect to fees accrued or  payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender on  behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that  except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder  from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party  hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.  SECTION 3 [RESERVED]  SECTION 4 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES  To induce the Agents and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make  the Loans, the REIT and the Borrower hereby jointly and severally represent and warrant to each  Agent and each Lender that:  4.1 Financial Condition.

The Pro Forma Balance Sheet  has been prepared based on the best information available to the REIT as of the date of delivery  thereof, and presents fairly on a pro forma basis the estimated financial position of the REIT and  its consolidated Subsidiaries as at September 30, 2022, assuming that the events specified in the  preceding sentence had actually occurred at such date.  (b) [Intentionally omitted].  (c) The audited consolidated balance sheets of the REIT as at December 31,  2020 and December 31, 2021, and the related consolidated statements of income and of cash  flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified  report from PricewaterhouseCoopers, copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each  Lender, present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the REIT and its consolidated  Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated  cash flows for the respective fiscal years then ended.  The unaudited consolidated balance sheet  of the REIT and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at September 30, 2022, and the related  unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the nine-month period ended on  such date, copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, present fairly the  consolidated financial condition of the REIT and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at such date,  and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the nine-month  period then ended (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments).  (d) The unaudited operating statements for each Borrowing Base Property for  the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019, December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021, copies  of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, present fairly the operating cash flow of  each Borrowing Base Property for the respective fiscal years then ended.  The unaudited  operating statements for each Borrowing Base Property for the nine-month period ended  September 30, 2022, copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, presents  fairly the operating cash flow of each Borrowing Base Property for the nine-month period ended  on such date.  (e) All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes  thereto, have been prepared in accordance with the Uniform System of Accounts and reconciled  in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as  approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein).  The Group  Members do not have any material Guarantee Obligations, contingent liabilities and liabilities for  taxes, or any long-term Leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including, without  limitation, any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation  in respect of derivatives, that are not reflected in the most recent financial statements referred to  in this paragraph.  During the period from December 31, 2021 to and including the date hereof  there has been no Disposition by the REIT and its Subsidiaries of any material part of its  business or Property.  





 






65  CHAR1\1945194v5 4.2 No Change.

(b) All material certifications, permits, licenses and approvals, including  without limitation, certificates of completion and occupancy permits and any applicable liquor  license and hospitality license required for the legal use, occupancy and operation of each  Borrowing Base Property as a hotel (collectively, the “Hotel Licenses”), have been obtained and  are in full force and effect.  Each Group Member is in compliance in all material respects with all  Hotel Licenses, and no event (including, without limitation, any material violation of any law,  rule or regulation) has occurred which would reasonably likely lead to the revocation or  termination of any Hotel License or the imposition of any material restriction thereon.  The Hotel  Licenses listed on Schedule 4.3(b) constitute all Hotel Licenses of the Borrowing Base Group  Members.  The use being made of each Borrowing Base Property is in conformity with the  certificate of occupancy issued for such Borrowing Base Property.  4.4 Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations.  Each Loan  Party has the corporate or other power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and  perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to borrow  hereunder.  Each Loan Party has taken all necessary corporate or other action to authorize the  execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the  case of the Borrower, to authorize the borrowings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement.   No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any  Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the borrowings  hereunder or the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement  or any of the other Loan Documents, except consents, authorizations, filings and notices  described in Schedule 4.4, which consents, authorizations, filings and notices have been obtained  or made and are in full force and effect.  Each Loan Document has been duly executed and  delivered on behalf of each Loan Party that is a party thereto.  This Agreement constitutes, and  each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation  of each Loan Party that is a party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in  accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,  insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’  rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by  proceedings in equity or at law).  





 






66  CHAR1\1945194v5 4.5 No Legal Bar.  The execution, delivery and performance of this  Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds  thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of any Group  Member and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their  respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual  Obligation.  No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation applicable to any Group Member  could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  4.6 No Material Litigation.  No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or  before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the REIT or  the Borrower, threatened by or against any Group Member or against any of their respective  properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions  contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material  Adverse Effect.  4.7 No Default.  None of the Group Members is in default under or with  respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect that could reasonably be expected to  have a Material Adverse Effect.  No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  4.8 Ownership of Property; Liens.  (a)  Each of the Group Members has good  record and marketable title, and with respect to the Borrowing Base Properties, title in fee simple  to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its Real Property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold  interest in, all its other Property, and none of such Property is subject to any Lien except as  permitted by Section 7.3.  Such Liens in the aggregate do not materially and adversely affect the  value, operation or use of the applicable Real Property (as currently used) or the Borrower’s  ability to repay the Loans.  (b) (i) No Loan Party has received written notice of the assertion of any  material valid claim by anyone adverse to any such Loan Party’s ownership or leasehold rights in  and to any Borrowing Base Property and (ii) no Person has an option or right of first refusal to  purchase all or part of any Borrowing Base Property or any interest therein which has not been  waived (except as disclosed in writing and approved by the Required Lenders).  4.9 Intellectual Property.  Each of the Group Members owns, or is licensed to  use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted.  No  material claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use  of any Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property, nor does  the REIT or the Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim.

Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly  required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, no Agent shall  have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information  concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or  creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the  possession of such Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or  affiliates.  9.7 Indemnification.

The agreements in this Section shall  survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.  9.8 Agent in Its Individual Capacity.  Each Agent and its affiliates may make  loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party  as though such Agent were not an Agent.  With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it, each  Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan  Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the  terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.  9.9 Successor Administrative Agent.

If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative  Agent by the date that is ten days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of  resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become  effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent  hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided  for above.  The Syndication Agent may, at any time, by notice to the Lenders and the  Administrative Agent, resign as Syndication Agent hereunder, whereupon the duties, rights,  obligations and responsibilities of the Syndication Agent hereunder shall automatically be  assumed by, and inure to the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, without any further act by the  Syndication Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Lender.  After any retiring Agent’s  resignation as Agent, such Agent shall remain indemnified to the extent provided in this  Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its  benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this  Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  9.10 Authorization to Release Liens and Guarantees.

In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant,  such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall  





 






119  CHAR1\1945194v5 remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such  Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the  other Loan Documents, and the Borrower and the Agents shall continue to deal solely and  directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this  Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the  Loans are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon  the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted  by applicable law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in  amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating  interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement; provided that, in purchasing  such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the  Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 10.7(a) as fully as if such Participant were a  Lender hereunder.  The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the  benefits of Sections 2.17, 2.18 or 2.19 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and  the Loans outstanding from time to time as if such Participant were a Lender; provided that, in  the case of Section 2.18, such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of said  Section; provided, further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount  pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in  respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such  Participant had no such transfer occurred.  (c) Any Lender (an “Assignor”) may, in accordance with applicable law and  upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time and from time to time assign to any  Lender or any affiliate, Related Fund or Control Investment Affiliate thereof or, with the consent  of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to an additional bank, financial institution or  other entity (an “Assignee”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement  pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption, substantially in the form of Exhibit E, executed by  such Assignee and such Assignor (and, where the consent of the Borrower and/or the  Administrative Agent is required pursuant to the foregoing provisions, by the Borrower and/or  the Administrative Agent) and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and  recording in the Register; provided that, no such assignment to an Assignee (other than any  Lender or any affiliate thereof) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of less than $5,000,000  (other than in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender’s interests under this Agreement),  unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.  Upon such execution,  delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such  Assignment and Assumption, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the  extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender  hereunder with the Commitments and/or Loans as set forth therein, and (y) the Assignor  thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its  obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering  all of an Assignor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Assignor shall cease to be  a party hereto, except as to Section 2.17, 2.18 and 10.5 in respect of the period prior to such  effective date); provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected  





 






120  CHAR1\1945194v5 parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of  any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.  Any  assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not  comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such  Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.6(b).  In  the event that Borrower fails to object by written notice within five Business Days after the  receipt of a request to approve an assignment pursuant to this Section 10.6(c), the Borrower shall  be deemed to have consented to such assignment.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Section,  the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for any assignment that occurs at any time  when any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.  For purposes of the minimum  assignment amounts set forth in this paragraph, multiple assignments by two or more Related  Funds shall be aggregated.  (d) The Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrower, maintain at its  address referred to in Section 10.2 a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it  and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and  the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time.   The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the  Borrower, each Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the  Register as the owner of the Loans and any Notes evidencing such Loans recorded therein for all  purposes of this Agreement.  Any assignment of any Loan, whether or not evidenced by a Note,  shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register  (and each Note shall expressly so provide).  Any assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan  evidenced by a Note shall be registered on the Register only upon surrender for registration of  assignment or transfer of the Note evidencing such Loan, accompanied by a duly executed  Assignment and Assumption; thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal  amount shall be issued to the designated Assignee, and the old Notes shall be returned by the  Administrative Agent to the Borrower marked “canceled”.  The Register shall be available for  inspection by the Borrower or any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s  Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  Each Lender  that sells a participation, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent (solely for tax purposes)  shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the  principal amounts of each participant’s interest in the Commitments, Loans and other  Obligations held by it (the “Participant Register”); provided that, no Lender shall have any  obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any  Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans,  letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the  extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit  or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury  Regulations.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as  Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.  The  entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender  shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such  interest in the Commitments, Loans and other Obligations as the owner thereof for all purposes  of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  





 






121  CHAR1\1945194v5 (e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an  Assignor and an Assignee (and, in any case where the consent of any other Person is required by  Section 10.6(c), by each such other Person) together with payment to the Administrative Agent  of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (treating multiple, simultaneous assignments by or  to two or more Related Funds as a single assignment) (except that no such registration and  processing fee shall be payable (x) in connection with an assignment by or to the Arrangers, the  Administrative Agent or their Control Investment Affiliates or (y) in the case of an Assignee  which is already a Lender or is an affiliate or Related Fund of a Lender or a Person under  common management with a Lender), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such  Assignment and Assumption and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the  information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation  to the Borrower.  On or prior to such effective date, the Borrower, at its own expense, upon  request, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (in exchange for the Note of the  assigning Lender) a new Note to the order of such Assignee in an amount equal to the  Commitment (or outstanding Loans, if the effective date of such assignment shall be after the  Availability Period) assumed or acquired by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption  and, if the Assignor has retained a Commitment (or any outstanding Loans) upon request, a new  Note to the order of the Assignor in an amount equal to the Commitment (or outstanding Loans)  retained by it hereunder.  Such new Note or Notes shall be dated the Effective Date and shall  otherwise be in the form of the Note or Notes replaced thereby.  (f) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that  the provisions of this Section concerning assignments of Loans and Notes relate only to absolute  assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests in  Loans and Notes, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any  Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law.  (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a  “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as  such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the  Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting  Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement;  provided that, (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan  and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of  such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms  hereof.  The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the  Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender.   Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment  obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender).   In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive  the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the  payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other indebtedness of any SPC, it will not  institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy,  reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United  States or any state thereof.  In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this  Section 10.6(g), any SPC may (A) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the  Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign  





 






122  CHAR1\1945194v5 all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender, or with the prior written  consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably  withheld) to any financial institutions providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the  account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans, and (B) disclose on a  confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency,  commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement  to such SPC; provided that, non-public information with respect to the Borrower may be  disclosed only with the Borrower’s consent which will not be unreasonably withheld.  This  paragraph (g) may not be amended without the written consent of any SPC with Loans  outstanding at the time of such proposed amendment.  (h) No such assignment shall be made to (i) the Borrower or any of the  Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (ii) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries,  (iii) [intentionally omitted] or (iv) any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would  constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in clause (ii).  (i) No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person (including, for the  avoidance of doubt, any holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and  operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person).  (j) In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any  Defaulting Lender hereunder, 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 Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon  distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of  participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the  consent of the Borrower and the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent and each other  Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full  pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.  Notwithstanding the  foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender  hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of  this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for  all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.  10.7 Adjustments; Set-off.  (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement  provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders, if any Lender (a  “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing  to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off,  pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8.1(f) or otherwise), in a  greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in  respect of such other Lender’s Obligations, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from  the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Obligations,  or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary  to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably  





 






123  CHAR1\1945194v5 with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or  benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded,  and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.  (b) Subject to Sections 10.7(c) and (d), in addition to any rights and remedies  of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, at any time and from time to  time while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without prior notice to the  REIT or the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the REIT and the Borrower to  the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the REIT  or the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set  off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time  or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims,  in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or  unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for  the credit or the account of the REIT or the Borrower, as the case may be.  Each Lender agrees  promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and  application made by such Lender; provided that, the failure to give such notice shall not affect  the validity of such setoff and application.  (c) Each Lender hereby acknowledges that the exercise by any Lender of  offset, set-off, banker’s lien or similar rights against any deposit account or other property or  asset of the Borrower or any other Group Member could result under certain laws in significant  impairment of the ability of all Lenders to recover any further amounts in respect of the  Obligations.  Each Lender hereby agrees not to charge or offset any amount owed to it by  Borrower against any of the accounts, property or assets of the Borrower or any other Group  Member held by such Lender without the prior written approval of the Required Lenders.  (d) In the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of  setoff, all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for  further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.24 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 Administrative Agent and the Lenders.  10.8 Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the  parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts  taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery of an  executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as  delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.  A set of the copies of this Agreement signed  by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.  10.9 Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or  unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such  prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any  such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render  unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.  





 






124  CHAR1\1945194v5 10.10 Integration.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the  entire agreement of the REIT, the Borrower, the Agents, the Arrangers and the Lenders with  respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings,  representations or warranties by the Arrangers, any Agent or any Lender relative to subject  matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.  10.11 Governing Law.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND  OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED  BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF  THE STATE OF NEW YORK.  10.12 Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers.  Each of the REIT and the Borrower  hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:  (a) submits for itself and its Property in any legal action or proceeding  relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for  recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general  jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of  America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;  (b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts  and 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 court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;  (c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be  effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially  similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the REIT or the Borrower, as the case may be at  its address set forth in Section 10.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative  Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;  (d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process  in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other  jurisdiction; and  (e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may  have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any  special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.  For avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any  right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or  proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or its  properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.  10.13 Acknowledgments.  Each of the REIT and the Borrower hereby  acknowledges that:  





 






125  CHAR1\1945194v5 (a) it has been advised by and consulted with its own legal, accounting,  regulatory and tax advisors (to the extent it deemed appropriate) in the negotiation,  execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;  (b) none of the Arrangers, any Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary  relationship with or duty to the REIT or the Borrower arising out of or in connection with  this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the  Arrangers, the Agents and the Lenders, on one hand, and the REIT and the Borrower, on  the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor;  (c) it is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks  and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan  Documents; and  (d) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or  otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Arrangers,  the Agents and the Lenders or among the REIT, the Borrower and the Lenders.  10.14 Confidentiality.  Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to keep  confidential all non-public information provided to it by any Loan Party pursuant to this  Agreement that is designated by such Loan Party as confidential; provided that, nothing herein  shall prevent any Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to the Arrangers,  any Agent, any other Lender or any affiliate of any thereof, (b) to any Participant or Assignee  (each, a “Transferee”) or prospective Transferee that agrees to comply with the provisions of this  Section or substantially equivalent provisions, (c) to any of its employees, directors, agents,  attorneys, accountants, consultants, service providers and other professional advisors, (d) to any  financial institution that is a direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements or  such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or  professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this  Section), (e) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over  it, (f) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise  be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, (g) in connection with any litigation or similar  proceeding, (h) that has been publicly disclosed other than in breach of this Section, (i) to the  National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally  recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment  portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender or (j) in connection with  the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document.  10.15 Release of Guarantee Obligations.  (a) Notwithstanding anything to the  contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, upon request of the Borrower in  connection with any Disposition of Property permitted by the Loan Documents, the  Administrative Agent shall take such actions as shall be required to release any guarantee  obligations under any Loan Document of any Person being Disposed of in such Disposition, to  the extent necessary to permit consummation of such Disposition in accordance with the Loan  Documents.  





 






126  CHAR1\1945194v5 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other  Loan Document, upon request of the Borrower in connection with any incurrence of  Indebtedness permitted by Section 7.2, the Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote  or consent of, any Lender) take such actions as shall be required to release any guarantee  obligations under any Loan Document of the Person incurring such Indebtedness, to the extent  necessary to permit the incurrence of such Indebtedness (and the granting of Liens to secure such  Indebtedness) in accordance with the Loan Documents; provided that, the Borrower shall deliver  to the Administrative Agent a pro forma Compliance Certificate (i) certifying that, immediately  prior to and after giving effect to the incurrence of such Indebtedness, no Default or Event of  Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) containing all information and calculations  necessary, and taking into consideration such Indebtedness, for determining pro forma  compliance with the provisions of Section 7.1 hereof and the Borrowing Base and (iii) with  respect to any Borrowing Base Property, certifying that the conditions set forth for the release of  such Borrowing Base Property in Section 5.4 have been satisfied.  (c) [Intentionally omitted].  (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other  Loan Document, when all Obligations have been paid in full and all Commitments have  terminated or expired, upon request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall take such  actions as shall be required to release all guarantee obligations under any Loan Document.  Any  such release of guarantee obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such  guarantee obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in  respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or  returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the  Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or  conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial  part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.  10.16 Accounting Changes.  In the event that any Accounting Change (as  defined below) shall occur and such change results in a change in the method of calculation of  financial covenants, standards or terms in this Agreement, then the Borrower and the  Administrative Agent agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions of this  Agreement so as to equitably reflect such Accounting Change with the desired result that the  criteria for evaluating the Borrower’s financial condition shall be the same after such Accounting  Change as if such Accounting Change had not been made.  Until such time as such an  amendment shall have been executed and delivered by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent  and the Required Lenders, all financial covenants, standards and terms in this Agreement shall  continue to be calculated or construed as if such Accounting Change had not occurred.  “Accounting Change” refers to any change in accounting principles required by the promulgation  of any rule, regulation, pronouncement or opinion by the Financial Accounting Standards Board  or, if applicable, the SEC, or a change in the Uniform System of Accounts.  10.17 Waivers of Jury Trial.

127  CHAR1\1945194v5 AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM  THEREIN.  10.18 Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement,  arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any  liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent  such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the  applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be  bound by:  (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the  applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be  payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and  (b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if  applicable:  (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;  (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or  other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent  undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred  on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it  in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any  other Loan Document; or  (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the  exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution  Authority.  10.19 Intentionally Omitted.    10.20 Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs.  To the extent that the  Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for a Hedge Agreement or  any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each  such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the  resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit  Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act  (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”)  in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable  notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be  governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of  the United States):  (i) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC  (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special  Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such  





 






128  CHAR1\1945194v5 QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported  QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such  Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be  effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S.  Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support  (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the  laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered  Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding  under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan  Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit  Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be  exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under  the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan  Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the  United States.  (ii) As used in this Section 10.20, the following terms have the  following meanings:  “BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term  is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k))  of such party.  “Covered Entity”:  any of the following:  (a) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and  interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);  (b) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and  interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or  (c) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and  interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).  “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall  be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as  applicable.  “QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial  contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C.  5390(c)(8)(D).  10.21 PATRIOT Act.  Each Lender that is subject to the USA PATRIOT Act  and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the  Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain,  verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name  and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the  Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the USA  





 






129  CHAR1\1945194v5 PATRIOT Act.  The Borrower shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent  or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or  such Lender reasonably requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under  applicable “know your customer” and anti-money-laundering rules and regulations, including the  USA PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.

2  CHAR1\1947344v3 SECTION 1  DEFINED TERMS  1.1 Definitions.  (a) Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Credit  Agreement and used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.  (b) The following terms shall have the following meanings:  “Agreement”:  this Guarantee Agreement, as the same may be amended, restated,  supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.  “Borrower Obligations”:  the collective reference to the unpaid principal of and  interest on the Loans and all other obligations and liabilities of the Borrower (including, without  limitation, interest accruing at the then applicable rate provided in the Credit Agreement after the  maturity of the Loans and interest accruing at the then applicable rate provided in the Credit  Agreement after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any  insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, relating to the Borrower, whether or not a claim  for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding) to the Administrative  Agent or any Lender, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, or  now existing or hereafter incurred, which may arise under, out of, or in connection with, the  Credit Agreement, this Agreement, or the other Loan Documents, or any other document made,  delivered or given in connection therewith, in each case whether on account of principal, interest,  reimbursement obligations, fees, indemnities, costs, expenses or otherwise (including, without  limitation, all fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent or to the Lenders  that are required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of any of the foregoing  agreements).  “Lender Parties”:  the collective reference to the Administrative Agent, the  Syndication Agent and the Lenders.  1.2 Other Definitional Provisions.  (a) The words “hereof,” “herein”, “hereto” and  “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement  as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and Section and Schedule  references are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified.  (b) The meanings given to terms defined herein shall be equally applicable to  both the singular and plural forms of such terms.  SECTION 2  GUARANTEE  2.1 Guarantee.  (a) The Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and  irrevocably, guarantee to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lender Parties  and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete  





 






3  CHAR1\1947344v3 payment and performance by the Borrower when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration  or otherwise) of the Borrower Obligations.  (b) Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary  notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other  Loan Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such  Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to fraudulent conveyances or  transfers or the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution  established in Section 2.2).  (c) Each Guarantor agrees that the Borrower Obligations may at any time and  from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without  impairing the guarantee of such Guarantor contained in this SECTION 2 or affecting the  rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party hereunder.  (d) Subject to Section 3.15 hereof, the guarantee contained in this SECTION 2  shall remain in full force and effect until all the Borrower Obligations shall have been  satisfied by full and final payment in cash, and the Commitments shall be terminated.  (e) No payment made by the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other  guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any  Lender Party from the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other  Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application  at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Borrower Obligations  shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor  under this SECTION 2 which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any  payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Borrower Obligations or any payment  received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Borrower Obligations), remain  liable for the Borrower Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor  hereunder until the Borrower Obligations are fully and finally paid in cash and the  Commitments are terminated.  (f) Each Guarantor shall pay additional amounts to, and indemnify, each  Lender Party (including for purposes of this SECTION 2, any assignee, successor or  participant) with respect to taxes imposed on payments pursuant to this Guarantee to the  same extent as the Borrower would have paid additional amounts and indemnified such  Lender Party with respect to taxes under Sections 2.17 and 2.18 of the Credit Agreement,  if such Guarantor were a Borrower under the Credit Agreement.  For the avoidance of  doubt, any such payments are in addition to each Guarantor’s obligation to pay any  amounts required to be paid by the Borrower to any Lender Party.  The agreements in this  Section 2.1(f) shall survive the termination of this Guarantee and the payment of the Loans  and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement.  2.2 Right of Contribution.  (a) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a  Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such  Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor  hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment.  





 






4  CHAR1\1947344v3 (b) [Intentionally omitted].  (c) Each Guarantor’s right of contribution under this Section 2.2 shall be  subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.3.  The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall  in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of the Borrower or any Guarantor to the  Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties, and the Borrower and each Guarantor shall  remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties for the full amount  guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.  2.3 Subrogation.  Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or  any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by the Administrative Agent or any Lender  Party, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative  Agent or any Lender Party against any Guarantor or any guarantee or right of offset held by the  Administrative Agent or any Lender Party for the payment of the Borrower Obligations, nor shall  any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower or  any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts  owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties by the Borrower on account of the  Borrower Obligations are fully and finally paid in cash, and the Commitments are terminated.  If  any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when  all of the Borrower Obligations shall not have been fully and finally paid in cash, such amount  shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties,  segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such  Guarantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such  Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be  applied against the Borrower Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the  Administrative Agent may determine.  2.4 Amendments, etc. with respect to the Borrower Obligations.  Each Guarantor shall  remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against the  Borrower or any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by the Borrower or any  Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Borrower Obligations made by the  Administrative Agent or any Lender Party may be rescinded by the Administrative Agent or such  Lender Party and any of the Borrower Obligations continued, and the Borrower Obligations, or  the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or guarantee therefor or right of offset  with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended,  modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent  or any Lender Party (with the consent of such of the Borrower and the Guarantor as shall be  required thereunder), and the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other  documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified,  supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the Required  Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be) may (with the consent of such of the Borrower and the  Guarantor as shall be required thereunder) deem advisable from time to time, and any guarantee  or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party for the payment  of the Borrower Obligations may (with the consent of such of the Borrower and the Guarantor as  shall be required thereunder) be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released.  Neither the  Administrative Agent nor any Lender Party shall, except to the extent set forth in, and for the  





 






5  CHAR1\1947344v3 benefit of the parties to, the agreements and instruments governing such guarantee, have any  obligation for the guarantees contained in this SECTION 2.  2.5 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional.  Each Guarantor waives any and all notice  of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Borrower Obligations and notice of or  proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party upon the guarantee contained  in this SECTION 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this SECTION 2; the Borrower  Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or  incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in  this SECTION 2; and all dealings between the Borrower and any of the Guarantors, on the one  hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be  conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained  in this SECTION 2.  Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment  and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or any of the Guarantors with respect  to the Borrower Obligations.  Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee of such  Guarantor contained in this SECTION 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and  unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (i) the validity or enforceability of the Credit  Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Borrower Obligations or any guarantee or  right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative  Agent or any Lender Party, (ii) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of  payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower or  any other Person against the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party, or (iii) any other  circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower or such  Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge  of the Borrower for the Borrower Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee of such  Guarantor contained in this SECTION 2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance.  When making  any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any  Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party may, but shall be under no obligation to,  make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the  Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any guarantee for the Borrower  Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent  or any Lender Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect  any payments from the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any  such guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Borrower, any other  Guarantor or any other Person or any such guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any  Guarantor of any obligation or liability under this SECTION 2, and shall not impair or affect the  rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative  Agent or any Lender Party against any Guarantor.  For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include  the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.  2.6 Reinstatement.  The guarantee contained in this SECTION 2 shall continue to be  effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any  of the Borrower Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the  Administrative Agent or any Lender Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution,  liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the  appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the  





 






6  CHAR1\1947344v3 Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such  payments had not been made.  2.7 Payments.

Neither the  Administrative Agent nor any Lender Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument  pursuant to Section 3.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any  right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default.  No failure to  exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party,  any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.  No single or partial  exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise  thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  A waiver by the Administrative  Agent or any Lender Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be  





 






7  CHAR1\1947344v3 construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party  would otherwise have on any future occasion.

(d) The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Obligations  and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  3.5 Successors and Assigns.

Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent  and each Lender Party at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default pursuant to  Section 8 of the Credit Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to such  Guarantor or any other Guarantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Guarantor, to  set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,  provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any  currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at  any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party to or for the credit or  the account of such Guarantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as the Administrative Agent or  such Lender Party may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such  Guarantor to the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party hereunder and claims of every nature  and description of the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party against such Guarantor, in any  currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, as  the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party may elect, whether or not the Administrative Agent  or any Lender Party has made any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities  and claims may be contingent or unmatured.  The Administrative Agent and each Lender Party  





 






8  CHAR1\1947344v3 shall notify such Guarantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by the  Administrative Agent or such Lender Party of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to  give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to  this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), and all of said  counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.  3.8 Severability.

The Section headings used in this Agreement are for  convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into  consideration in the interpretation hereof.  3.10 Integration.
