Agent’s
Special Counsel. Dentons US LLP or such other counsel as selected by Agent.


 


Agreement.
This Term Loan Agreement, including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto.


 


Agreement
Regarding Fees. See §4.2.


 


Applicable
Law. Collectively, all international, non-U.S., Federal, state and local statutes, treaties, rules, guidelines, regulations,

by any Governmental Authority charged with the enforcement, interpretation or administration thereof, and all applicable administrative
orders, directed duties, requests, licenses, authorizations and permits of, and agreements with, any Governmental Authority, in
each case whether or not having the force of law.


 


Applicable
Margin. (a)  On any date the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Rate Loans and Base Rate Loans shall be as set forth below
based on the ratio of the Consolidated Total Indebtedness of Parent Company and its respective Subsidiaries to the Gross Asset
Value of Parent Company and its respective Subsidiaries:


 


	Pricing Level	 	Ratio	 	LIBOR Rate

Loans	 	 	Base Rate

Loans	 
	Pricing Level 1	 	Less than or equal to 35%	 	 	1.20	%	 	 	0.20	%
	Pricing Level 2	 	Greater than 35% but less than or equal to 40%	 	 	1.30	%	 	 	0.30	%
	Pricing Level 3	 	Greater than 40% but less than or equal to 45%	 	 	1.45	%	 	 	0.45	%
	Pricing Level 4	 	Greater than 45% but less than or equal to 50%	 	 	1.60	%	 	 	0.60	%
	Pricing Level 5	 	Greater than 50%	 	 	1.80	%	 	 	0.80	%



 






    	 	4	 



     


    

 


The initial Applicable
Margin shall be at Pricing Level 1. The Applicable Margin shall not be adjusted based upon such ratio, if at all, until the first
(1st) day of the first (1st) month following the delivery by Parent Company to the Agent of the Compliance Certificate after the
end of a calendar quarter. In the event that Parent Company shall fail to deliver to the Agent a quarterly Compliance Certificate
on or before the date required by §7.4(c), then without limiting any other rights of the Agent and the Lenders under this
Agreement, the Applicable Margin for Term Loans shall be at Pricing Level 5 until such failure is cured within any applicable cure
period, or waived in writing by the Required Lenders, in which event the Applicable Margin shall adjust, if necessary, on the first
(1st) day of the first (1st) month following receipt of such Compliance Certificate.


 


In the event that the
Agent and the Borrower determine that any financial statements previously delivered were incorrect or inaccurate (regardless of
whether this Agreement or Commitments are in effect when such inaccuracy is discovered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would
have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable
Margin applied for such Applicable Period, then (i) the Borrower shall as soon as practicable deliver to the Agent the corrected
financial statements for such Applicable Period, (ii) the Applicable Margin shall be determined as if the Pricing Level for
such higher Applicable Margin were applicable for such Applicable Period, and (iii) the Borrower shall within three (3) Business
Days of demand thereof by the Agent pay to the Agent the accrued additional amount owing as a result of such increased Applicable
Margin for such Applicable Period, which payment shall be promptly applied by the Agent in accordance with this Agreement.


 


(b)            From
and after the date that Agent first receives written notice from REIT or Borrower that Borrower has first obtained an Investment
Grade Rating from (i) S&P or Moody’s, or (ii) a combination of Fitch and S&P or Moody’s and the Borrower
delivers a written notice to Agent irrevocably electing to have the Applicable Margin determined pursuant to this subparagraph
(b), the Applicable Margin shall mean, as of any date of determination, a percentage per annum determined by reference to the Credit
Rating Level as set forth below:


 


	Pricing
 Level	 	Credit Rating

Level	 	LIBOR Rate

Loans	 	 	Base Rate

Loans	 
	I	 	Credit Rating Level 1	 	 	0.825	%	 	 	0.00	%
	II	 	Credit Rating Level 2	 	 	0.875	%	 	 	0.00	%
	III	 	Credit Rating Level 3	 	 	1.00	%	 	 	0.00	%
	IV	 	Credit Rating Level 4	 	 	1.25	%	 	 	0.25	%
	V	 	Credit Rating Level 5	 	 	1.65	%	 	 	0.65	%



 






    	 	5	 



     


    

 


At such time as this
subparagraph (b) is applicable, the Applicable Margin for each Base Rate Loan shall be determined by reference to the Credit
Rating Level in effect from time to time, and the Applicable Margin for any Interest Period for all LIBOR Rate Loans comprising
part of the same borrowing shall be determined by reference to the Credit Rating Level in effect on the first day of such Interest
Period; provided, however that no change in the Applicable Margin resulting from the application of the Credit Rating Levels or
a change in the Credit Rating Level shall be effective until three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Agent receives
written notice of the application of the Credit Rating Levels and Borrower’s irrevocable election to have the Applicable
Margin determined pursuant to this subparagraph (b) or a change in such Credit Rating Level. From and after the first date
that the Applicable Margin is based on Borrower’s Investment Grade Rating pursuant to this subparagraph (b), the Applicable
Margin shall no longer be calculated by reference to the ratio of Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Gross Asset Value (provided
that any accrued interest payable at the Applicable Margin determined by reference to the ratio of Consolidated Total Indebtedness
to Gross Asset Value prior to such date shall be payable as provided in §2.6).


 


Approved
Foreign Country. Any country other than the United States of America containing an International Investment that Agent
has approved to become part of the Unencumbered Asset Pool.


 


Approved
Foreign Entity. Any Foreign Subsidiary that is requested by Borrower to become an Additional Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder,
and Agent has received adequate assurances reasonably acceptable to Agent of such Foreign Subsidiary’s ability and authority

to the benefit of the Credit Rating Level for such credit rating. If the Borrower shall have obtained a credit rating from more

or ratings (whether as a result of withdrawal, suspension, election to not obtain a rating, or otherwise) from such Rating Agencies
and as a result does not have a credit rating from any Rating Agency, or if the only credit rating the REIT or Borrower shall have
is provided by Fitch, Borrower shall be deemed for the purposes hereof not to have a credit rating. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, if at any time none of the Rating Agencies shall perform the functions of a securities rating agency,
then the Borrower and the Agent shall promptly negotiate in good faith to agree upon a substitute rating agency (and to correlate
the system of ratings of such substitute rating agency with that of the rating agency being replaced), and pending such amendment,
the Credit Rating of any Rating Agency in effect immediately prior to such time, shall continue to apply, provided that the designation
of such replacement agency and such amendment are completed within thirty (30) days of such event, and if not so completed within
such thirty (30) day period, Credit Rating Level 5 shall be the applicable Credit Rating Level until such time as Borrower obtains
a Credit Rating from a Rating Agency.

its capitalized value (as determined pursuant to clause (a) or (b) of this definition, as applicable, and measured on

determined in accordance with GAAP.


 


Unencumbered Asset Pool

quarters most recently ended prior to a date of determination. For purposes of this definition, to the extent that Unencumbered
Asset Pool Value attributable to (i) Unencumbered Asset Pool Properties which are Leased Properties (excluding any Tax Driven
Lease) would exceed ten percent (10%) of the Unencumbered Asset Pool Value, (ii) Unencumbered Asset Pool Properties which
are on Ground Leases (excluding any Tax Driven Lease) would exceed twenty percent (20%) of the Unencumbered Asset Pool Value, or
(iii) Unencumbered Asset Pool Properties which are Development Properties would exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the Unencumbered
Asset Pool Value, or (iv) Unencumbered Asset Pool Properties which are International Investments would exceed seven and one-half
(7.5%) of the Unencumbered Asset Pool Value, or (v) Unencumbered Asset Pool Properties which are Leased Properties, Ground
Leases, or International Investments would combined exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of Unencumbered Asset Pool Value, then in
each case such excess shall be excluded.


 


Unencumbered
Asset Pool Debt Yield. The quotient of (a) Adjusted Net Operating Income of the Unencumbered Asset Pool divided
by (b) the sum of (i) Consolidated Total Unsecured Debt plus (ii) all Capitalized Lease Obligations of Borrower

of calculating Unencumbered Asset Pool Debt Yield, when calculating Adjusted Net Operating Income for Unencumbered Asset Pool Properties
not owned and operated by the Borrower or a Guarantor for two (2) full fiscal quarters, the Adjusted Net Operating Income
attributable to such Unencumbered Asset Pool Properties shall be calculated by using the actual historical results for such Unencumbered
Asset Pool Properties (x) for the two (2) full fiscal quarters most recently ended as if the Unencumbered Asset Pool
Properties had been owned by the Borrower or a Guarantor during such period; provided, however, to the extent actual historical
Adjusted Net Operating Income attributable to such Unencumbered Asset Pool Properties is unavailable, the Borrower may include
such calculation of Adjusted Net Operating Income attributable to such Unencumbered Asset Pool Properties calculated on a proforma
basis, so long as the Agent shall have given its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed. Additionally, for Unencumbered Asset Pool Properties that have been disposed of during the period of two fiscal quarters
most recently ended, the Adjusted Net Operating Income attributable to such Unencumbered Asset Pool Properties shall be excluded
from the calculation of Adjusted Net Operating Income. For purposes of this definition, to the extent that Adjusted Net Operating
Income attributable to (i) Unencumbered Asset Pool Properties which are Leased Properties (excluding any Tax Driven Lease)
would exceed ten percent (10%) of the Adjusted Net Operating Income, (ii) Unencumbered Asset Pool Properties which are on
Ground Leases (excluding any Tax Driven Lease) would exceed twenty percent (20%) of the Adjusted Net Operating Income, (iii) Unencumbered
Asset Pool Properties which are Development Properties would exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the Adjusted Net Operating Income,
(iv) Unencumbered Asset Pool Properties which are International Investments would exceed seven and one-half (7.5%) of Adjusted
Net Operating Income, or (v) Unencumbered Asset Pool Properties which are Leased Properties, Ground Leases, or International
Investments would combined exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of Adjusted Net Operating Income, then in each case such excess shall
be excluded.

the event of any change in generally accepted accounting principles after the date hereof or any other change in accounting procedures

Loan Document, then upon the request of the Borrower, Guarantors or Agent, the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Agent and the Lenders
shall negotiate promptly, diligently and in good faith in order to amend the provisions of the Loan Documents such that such financial
covenant, ratio or other requirement shall continue to provide substantially the same financial tests or restrictions of the Borrower

    42


     


    

 


(n)            The
interest rate on LIBOR Rate Loans is determined by reference to the LIBOR, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate.
The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings
from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the
end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration
(together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London
interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible in the future, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available
or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on LIBOR Rate. In light of this
eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates
to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. In the event that the London interbank offered rate is no longer available
or in certain other circumstances as set forth in §4.16 of this Agreement, such §4.16 provides a mechanism for determining
an alternative rate of interest. The Agent will notify the Borrower, pursuant to §4.16, in advance of any change to the reference
rate upon which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is based. However, the Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for,
and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank
offered rate or other rates in the definition of “LIBOR” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto,
or replacement rate therefor or thereof, including, without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such
alternative, successor or replacement reference rate, as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to §4.16, will be similar
to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBOR or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank
offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.


 


§2.          THE
CREDIT FACILITY.


 


		§2.1	[Intentionally
                                         Omitted.]



 


§2.2        Commitment
to Lend Term Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each
Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make one advance for the purposes set forth in
 §2.9, in an amount (i) of an integral multiple of $5,000,000, and (ii) up to a maximum aggregate principal amount
outstanding (after giving effect to all amounts requested) at any one time equal to such Lender’s Commitment.


 


Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, any amount of the Commitment that is not drawn by Borrower and advanced by the Lenders on or before November 16,
2020 will not be available to be drawn by the Borrower thereafter, and any undrawn portion of the Commitment shall terminate. Any
additional Term Loans made as a result of any increase in the Total Commitments pursuant to §2.11 shall be made on the applicable
Commitment Increase Date and each Lender which elects to increase its Commitment or acquire a Commitment pursuant to §2.11,
severally and not jointly, agrees to make a Term Loan to the Borrower on such Commitment Increase Date in an amount equal to (a) with
respect to any existing Lender, the amount by which such Lender’s Commitment increases on the applicable Commitment Increase
Date and (b) with respect to any new Lender, the amount of such new Lender’s Commitment.


 






    43


     


    

 


Each request for a
Term Loan hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that all of the conditions required of the Borrower
set forth in §§10 and 11 have been satisfied on the date of such request. The Agent may assume that the conditions in
 §§10 and 11 have been satisfied unless it receives prior written notice from a Lender that such conditions have not been
satisfied. The Term Loans shall be evidenced by separate promissory notes of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit A
hereto, dated of even date with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in §2.11 or §18.3) and completed with appropriate
insertions. One Term Loan Note shall be payable to the order of each Lender in the principal amount equal to such Lender’s
Commitment or, if less, the outstanding amount of all Term Loans made by such Lender, plus interest accrued thereon, as set forth
below. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes Agent to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of the Drawdown Date of any
Term Loan or the time of receipt of any payment of principal thereof, an appropriate notation on Agent’s Record reflecting
the making of such Term Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment. The outstanding amount of the Term Loans set
forth on Agent’s Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to each Lender, but
the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on Agent’s Record shall not limit or otherwise affect
the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any Term Loan Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Term
Loan Note when due.

on Loans.


 


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


 


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


 


(c)            The
Borrower promises to pay interest on each Loan in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect thereto.


 


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


 






    44


     


    

 


§2.7         Request
for Term Loan. The Borrower shall give to the Agent written notice executed by an Authorized
Officer in the form of Exhibit G hereto (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing in the form of Exhibit G hereto)
of the Term Loan requested hereunder (the “Term Loan Request”) by 11:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) one (1) Business
Day prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to Base Rate Loans and two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed Drawdown
Date with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans. Such notice shall specify with respect to the requested Term Loan the proposed principal
amount of such Term Loan, the Type of Term Loan, the initial Interest Period (if applicable) for such Term Loan and the Drawdown
Date. Such notice shall also contain (i) a general statement as to the purpose for which such advance shall be used (which
purpose shall be in accordance with the terms of §2.9) and (ii) a certification by the Executive Vice President Finance,
the chief financial officer or chief accounting officer of Parent Company that the Borrower and Guarantors are and will be in
compliance with all covenants under the Loan Documents after giving effect to the making and use of such Term Loan. Promptly upon
receipt of such notice, the Agent shall notify each of the Lenders thereof. Term Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding
on the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept the Term Loan requested from the Lenders on the proposed Drawdown Date.
Nothing herein shall prevent the Borrower from seeking recourse against any applicable Lender that fails to advance its proportionate
share of a requested Term Loan as required by this Agreement. Term Loan Request shall be (a) for a Base Rate Loan in a minimum
aggregate amount of $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 in excess thereof; or (b) for a LIBOR Rate Loan
in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 in excess thereof; provided, however, that
there shall be no more than five (5) LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding at any one time.


 


§2.8         Funds
for Loans.


 


(a)            Not
later than 1:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the Drawdown Date or any Increase Date with respect to any Term Loans, each of the
Lenders, as applicable, will make available to the Agent, at the Agent’s Head Office, the amount of such Lender’s applicable
Commitment Percentage of the amount of the requested Loans which may be disbursed pursuant to §2.2. A Lender at its option
may, upon reasonable prior notice to Agent, make a LIBOR Rate Loan by causing any U.S. or non-U.S. branch or Affiliate of such
Lender to make such Loan and any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon receipt from each such Lender of such amount, and upon receipt of the documents
required by §10 and §11 and the satisfaction of the other conditions set forth therein, to the extent applicable, the
Agent will make available to the Borrower the aggregate amount of such Term Loans made available to the Agent by the Lenders, as
applicable, in like funds as received by the Agent by crediting such amount to the account of the Borrower maintained at the Agent’s
Head Office. The failure or refusal of any Lender to make available to the Agent at the aforesaid time and place on the Drawdown
Date or any Increase Date with respect to any Term Loans the amount of its applicable Commitment Percentage of the requested Loans
shall not relieve any other Lender from its several obligation hereunder to make available to the Agent the amount of such other
Lender’s applicable Commitment Percentage of any requested Loans, including any additional Term Loans that may be requested
subject to the terms and conditions hereof to provide funds to replace those not advanced by the Lender so failing or refusing.
In the event of any such failure or refusal, the Lenders not so failing or refusing shall be entitled to a priority secured position
as against the Lender or Lenders so failing or refusing to make available to the Borrower the amount of its or their applicable
Commitment Percentage for such Loans as provided in §12.5.


 






    45


     


    

 


(b)            Unless
the Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the Drawdown Date or any Increase Date with respect to any Term Loans
that such Lender will not make available to Agent, such Lender’s applicable Commitment Percentage of a proposed Loan, Agent
may in its discretion assume that such Lender has made such Loan available to Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement
and the Agent may, if it chooses, in reliance upon such assumption make such Loan available to the Borrower, and such Lender shall
be liable to the Agent for the amount of such advance. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount upon the Agent’s
demand therefor, the Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall promptly pay such corresponding amount to
the Agent. The Agent shall also be entitled to recover from the Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding
amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Agent to the Borrower to the date
such corresponding amount is recovered by the Agent at a per annum rate equal to (i) from the Borrower at the applicable rate
for such Loan or (ii) from a Lender at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.


 


(c)            Nothing
herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute
a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

of Proceeds. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans solely (a) to pay closing
costs in connection with this Agreement, (b) to repay and satisfy existing financing, (c) to fund future development
projects, property and equipment acquisitions and (d) for general corporate purposes.


 


§2.10       [Intentionally
Omitted].


 


§2.11       Increase
in Total Commitment.


 


(a)            Provided
that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this §2.11,
the Borrower shall have the option at any time and from time to time, prior to the Maturity Date, to request an increase in the
Commitment, each in increments of $10,000,000.00 by an aggregate amount of increases to the Commitment (the amount of the requested
increase to be set forth in the Increase Notice) (which, assuming no previous reduction in the Commitments, would result in a maximum
Total Commitment of $500,000,000.00), written notice to the Agent (an “Increase Notice”; and the amount of such requested
increase is the “Commitment Increase”). The execution and delivery of the Increase Notice by the Borrower shall constitute
a representation and warranty by the Borrower that all the conditions set forth in this §2.11 shall have been satisfied on
the date of such Increase Notice. The Commitment Increase shall be allocated to the then existing Commitments having the same terms
as the existing Commitments.


 


(b)            Upon
receipt of any Increase Notice, the Agent shall consult with KCM and shall notify the Borrower of the amount of facility fees to
be paid to any Lenders who provide an additional Commitment in connection with such increase in the Total Commitment (which shall
be in addition to the fees to be paid to Agent or KCM pursuant to the Agreement Regarding Fees). If the Borrower agrees to pay
the facility fees so determined, then the Agent shall send a notice to all Lenders (the “Additional Commitment Request Notice”)
informing them of the Borrower’s request to increase the Total Commitment and of the facility fees to be paid with respect
thereto. Each Lender who desires to provide an additional Commitment upon such terms shall provide Agent with a written commitment
letter specifying the amount of the additional Commitment which it is willing to provide prior to such deadline as may be specified
in the Additional Commitment Request Notice. If the requested increase is oversubscribed then the Agent and KCM shall allocate
the Commitment Increase among the Lenders who provide such commitment letters on such basis as the Agent and KCM shall determine
after consultation with the Borrower. If the additional Commitments so provided are not sufficient to provide the full amount of
the Commitment Increase requested by the Borrower, then the Agent, KCM or the Borrower may, but shall not be obligated to, invite
one or more banks or lending institutions (which banks or lending institutions shall be acceptable to Agent, KCM and the Borrower)
to become a Lender and provide an additional Commitment. The Agent shall provide all Lenders with a notice setting forth the amount,
if any, of the additional Commitment to be provided by each Lender, and the revised Commitment Percentages, which shall be applicable
after the effective date of the Commitment Increase specified therein (the “Increase Date”). In no event shall any
Lender be obligated to provide an additional Commitment.


 






    46


     


    

 


(c)            On
any Increase Date the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans shall be reallocated among the Lenders, such that after the
applicable Increase Date the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans owed to each Lender shall be equal to such Lender’s
Commitment Percentage (as in effect after the applicable Increase Date) of the outstanding principal amount of all Loans. On any
Increase Date those Lenders whose Commitment Percentage is increasing shall advance the funds to the Agent and the funds so advanced
shall be distributed among the Lenders whose Commitment Percentage is decreasing as necessary to accomplish the required reallocation
of the outstanding Loans. The funds so advanced shall be Base Rate Loans until converted to LIBOR Rate Loans which are allocated
among all Lenders based on their Commitment Percentages. The Borrower further agrees to pay the Breakage Costs, if any, resulting
from any Commitment Increase.


 


(d)            Upon
the effective date of each increase in the Commitment pursuant to this §2.11, the Agent may unilaterally revise Schedule 1.1
and the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Agent new Term Loan Notes for each Lender whose Commitment has changed so that
the principal amount of such Term Loan Lender’s Term Loan Note shall equal its Commitment. The Agent shall deliver such replacement
Term Loan Notes to the respective Lenders in exchange for the Term Loan Notes replaced thereby which shall be surrendered by such
Lenders. Such new Term Loan Notes shall provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Term Loan Notes, and that they do
not constitute a novation, shall be dated as of the Increase Date and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the replaced
Term Loan Notes. In connection therewith, the Borrower shall deliver an opinion of counsel, addressed to the Lenders and the Agent,
relating to the due authorization, execution and delivery of such new Term Loan Notes and the enforceability thereof, in form and
substance substantially similar to the opinion delivered in connection with the first disbursement under this Agreement. The surrendered
Term Loan Notes shall be canceled and returned to the Borrower.


 


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


 






    47


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


(iii)          Representations
True. The representations and warranties made by the Borrower and the Guarantors in the Loan Documents or otherwise made by
or on behalf of the Borrower or the Guarantors in connection therewith or after the date thereof shall have been true and correct
in all material respects when made and shall also be true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent that any representation
and warranty that is qualified by materiality shall be true and correct in all respects) on the date of such Increase Notice and
on the date the Total Commitment is increased, both immediately before and after the Total Commitment is increased, except that
if any representation and warranty is as of a specified date, such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all
material respects as of such date; and


 


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


 


(v)           Beneficial
Ownership Certification. If requested by the Agent or any Lender in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under the
Beneficial Ownership Regulation, Borrower shall have delivered, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Increase Date,
to the Agent (and any such Lender) a completed and executed Beneficial Ownership Certification; and


 


(vi)          Other.
The Borrower and the Guarantors shall satisfy such other conditions to such increase as Agent may require in its reasonable discretion.


 


§2.12       [Intentionally
Omitted].


 


§2.13       Termination
of Agreement. This Agreement shall terminate at such time as (a) all of the Commitments
have been terminated, (b) none of the Lenders is obligated any longer under this Agreement to make any Loans and (c) all
Obligations (other than obligations which survive as set forth in §15 and §16) and Hedge Obligations have been paid
and satisfied in full.


 






    48


     


    

 


§2.14       Defaulting
Lenders.


 


(a)            If
for any reason any Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the
Agent or the Borrower under this Agreement or Applicable Law, except as otherwise provided under §27, such Defaulting Lender’s
right to participate in the administration of the Loans, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation,
any right to vote in respect of, to consent to or to direct any action or inaction of the Agent or to be taken into account in
the calculation of the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal.
If a Lender is a Defaulting Lender because it has failed to make timely payment to the Agent of any amount required to be paid
to the Agent hereunder (without giving effect to any notice or cure periods), in addition to other rights and remedies which the
Agent or the Borrower may have under the immediately preceding provisions or otherwise, the Agent shall be entitled (i) to
collect interest from such Defaulting Lender on such delinquent payment for the period from the date on which the payment was due
until the date on which the payment is made at the Federal Funds Rate, (ii) to withhold or setoff and to apply in satisfaction
of the defaulted payment and any related interest, any amounts otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document and (iii) to bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction
to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest. Any amounts received by the Agent in respect of a Defaulting Lender’s
Loans shall be applied as set forth in §2.14(d). Notwithstanding anything else provided herein or otherwise, no limitation
on such Defaulting Lender’s right to participate in the administration of the Loans shall mean or be deemed to limit or otherwise
impair, such Defaulting Lender’s right to attend, but not participate or vote (except as otherwise provided under §27),
in any bank meeting or to request or receive any information in connection with or as provided under any of the Loan Documents.


 


(b)            Any
Non-Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated, in its sole discretion, to acquire all or a portion of a Defaulting Lender’s
Commitment at par. Any Lender desiring to exercise such right shall give written notice thereof to the Agent and the Borrower no
sooner than two (2) Business Days and not later than five (5) Business Days after such Defaulting Lender became a Defaulting
Lender. If more than one Lender exercises such right, each such Lender shall have the right to acquire an amount of such Defaulting
Lender’s Commitment in proportion to the Commitments of the other Lenders exercising such right. If after such fifth (5th)
Business Day, the Lenders have not elected to purchase all of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower (so long
as no Default or Event of Default exists) or the Required Lenders may, by giving written notice thereof to the Agent, such Defaulting
Lender and the other Lenders, demand (but shall have no obligation to so demand) that such Defaulting Lender assign its Commitment
to an eligible assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of §18.1 for the purchase price provided for below
and upon any such demand such Defaulting Lender shall comply with such demand and shall consummate such assignment (subject to
and in accordance with the provisions of §18.1). No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such
replacement or to assist in finding an eligible assignee. Upon any such purchase or assignment, and any such demand with respect
to which the conditions specified in §18.1 have been satisfied, the Defaulting Lender’s interest in the Loans and its
rights hereunder (but not its liability in respect thereof or under the Loan Documents or this Agreement to the extent the same
relate to the period prior to the effective date of the purchase) shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Defaulting Lender
shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser or assignee
thereof, including an appropriate Assignment and Acceptance Agreement. The purchase price for the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender
shall be equal to the amount of the principal balance of the Loans outstanding and owed by the Borrower to the Defaulting Lender
plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees. Prior to payment of such purchase price to a Defaulting
Lender, the Agent shall apply against such purchase price any amounts retained by the Agent pursuant to §2.14(d).


 






    49


     


    

 


(c)            [Intentionally
Omitted.]


 


(d)            Any
payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether
voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Agent for the account of such
Defaulting Lender pursuant to §13), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first,
to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request
(so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed
to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; third, if so determined by the Agent
and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy obligations of
such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans or participations under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing
to the Agent or the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Agent or 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 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 such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth
in §10 and §11, to the extent required by this Agreement, were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely
to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata
in accordance with their Commitment Percentages, prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender.
Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed
by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this §2.14(d) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and
each Lender irrevocably consents hereto, and to the extent allocated to the repayment of principal of the Loan, shall not be considered
outstanding principal under this Agreement.


 


(e)            [Intentionally
Omitted.]


 


(f)            If
the Borrower (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists) and the Agent agree in writing in their reasonable discretion that
a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon
as of the date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable,
purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary
to cause the Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Commitments, whereupon such Lender will
cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments
made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent
otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver
or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

due and payable on the Maturity Date all of the Term Loans Outstanding on such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon.


 


§3.2        Mandatory
Prepayments.


 


(a)            If
at any time the Outstanding Term Loans exceeds the Total Commitment, then the Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days
of such occurrence, pay the amount of such excess to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Lenders for application to the
Term Loans as provided in §3.4, together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to §4.8.


 


(b)            If
at any time there shall be a violation of the covenants contained in §9.1, then the Borrower shall, within five (5) Business
Days of such occurrence, reduce the aggregate amount of the Consolidated Total Unsecured Debt (including the Loans) plus any Capitalized
Lease Obligations of Borrower and its Subsidiaries with respect to the Unencumbered Asset Pool Properties, by an amount so that
no violation of the covenants set forth in §9.1 continues to exist (and if any such reduction is made with respect to the
Obligations, then Borrower shall pay such amount to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Lenders for application to the
Loans as provided in §3.4, together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to §4.8).


 


§3.3        Optional
Prepayments.


 


(a)            [Intentionally
Omitted.]


 


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


 


(c)            The
Borrower shall give the Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) at least three (3) days’ prior written
notice of any prepayment pursuant to this §3.3 of LIBOR Rate Loans unless a shorter notice period is agreed to in writing
by the Agent, and one Business Day’s prior written notice of any prepayment pursuant to this §3.3 of Base Rate Loans,
in each case specifying the proposed date of prepayment of the Loans and the principal amount to be prepaid (provided that any
such notice may be revoked or modified upon one (1) day’s prior notice to the Agent).


 






    51


     


    

 


§3.4        Partial
Prepayments. Each partial prepayment of the Loans under §3.3 shall be in a minimum
amount of $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 in excess thereof, and shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued
interest on the principal prepaid to the date of payment. Each partial payment under §3.2 and §3.3 shall be applied,
in the absence of instruction by the Borrower, first to the principal of Base Rate Loans, and second to the principal of LIBOR
Rate Loans.


 


§3.5        Effect
of Prepayments. Any portion of the Term Loans that is prepaid may not be reborrowed.


 


§4.         CERTAIN
GENERAL PROVISIONS.


 


§4.1        Conversion
Options.


 


(a)            The
Borrower may elect from time to time to convert any of its outstanding Term Loans to a Term Loan of another Type and such Term
Loan shall thereafter bear interest as a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan, as applicable; provided that (i) with
respect to any such conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, the Borrower shall give the Agent at least one (1) Business
Days’ prior written notice of such election, and such conversion shall only be made on the last day of the Interest Period
with respect to such LIBOR Rate Loan; (ii) with respect to any such conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan,
the Borrower shall give the Agent at least two (2) LIBOR Business Days’ prior written notice of such election and the
Interest Period requested for such Loan, the principal amount of the Loan so converted shall be in a minimum aggregate amount
of $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $250,000.00 in excess thereof and, after giving effect to the making of such Loan,
there shall be no more than two (2) LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding at any one time; and (iii) no Loan may be converted
into a LIBOR Rate Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. All or any part of the outstanding
Term Loans of any Type may be converted as provided herein, provided that no partial conversion shall result in a Base
Rate Loan in a principal amount of less than $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 or a LIBOR Rate Loan in a principal
amount of less than $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $250,000.00. On the date on which such conversion is being made,
each Lender shall take such action as is necessary to transfer its applicable Commitment Percentage of such Loans to its Domestic
Lending Office or its LIBOR Lending Office, as the case may be. Each Conversion/Continuation Request relating to the conversion
of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be irrevocable by the Borrower.


 


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


 


(c)            In
the event that the Borrower does not notify the Agent at least one (1) Business Day prior of its election hereunder with
respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan, such Loan shall be automatically continued at the end of the applicable Interest Period as a LIBOR
Rate Loan for an Interest Period of one month unless such Interest Period shall be greater than the time remaining until the Maturity
Date in which case such Loan shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan at the end of the applicable Interest Period.


 






    52


     


    

 


§4.2        Fees.
The Borrower and the Guarantors agree to pay to KeyBank and the Joint Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners
for their own account certain fees for services rendered or to be rendered in connection with the Loans as provided pursuant to
those certain fee letters dated on or near the date hereof between the Borrower and the Joint Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners (the
 “Agreement Regarding Fees”). All such fees shall be fully earned when paid and nonrefundable under any circumstances.


 


§4.3        Agent
Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the Agent’s own account, a non-refundable
Agent’s administrative fee pursuant to the Agreement Regarding Fees. The Agent’s fee shall be payable upon the Closing
Date and on each annual anniversary date thereof until the termination of the Commitment and the indefeasible repayment in full
and satisfaction of the Obligations and Hedge Obligations.


 


§4.4        Funds
for Payments.


 


(a)            All
payments of principal, interest, facility fees, closing fees and any other amounts due hereunder or under any of the other Loan
Documents shall be made to the Agent, for the respective accounts of the Lenders and the Agent, as the case may be, at the Agent’s
Head Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the day when due, in each case in lawful money of the United States
in immediately available funds. The Agent is hereby authorized to charge the accounts of the Borrower with KeyBank on the dates
when the amount thereof shall become due and payable, with the amounts of the principal of and interest on the Loans and all fees,
charges, expenses and other amounts owing to the Agent and/or the Lenders under the Loan Documents. Subject to the foregoing,
all payments made to Agent on behalf of the Lenders, and actually received by Agent, shall be deemed received by the Lenders on
the date actually received by Agent.


 


(b)            All
payments by the Borrower hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim, and
free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable
Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any
Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction
or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance
with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower or other applicable Guarantor
shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings
applicable to additional sums payable under this §4.4) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would
have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.


 


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


 






    53


     


    

 


(d)            The
Borrower and the Guarantors shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor,
for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable
under this §4.4) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient
and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or
legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability
delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender,
shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that the determinations in such statement are made on a reasonable basis and
in good faith.


 


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


 


(f)            As
soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or any Guarantor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this §4.4,
the Borrower or such Guarantor shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental
Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory
to the Agent.


 


(i)            Any
Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document
shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly
completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made
without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent
as will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information
reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and
submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in the immediately following clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and
(ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject
such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such
Lender.


 


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


 






    54


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


(I)            in
the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with
respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the
Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S.
federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other
applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption
from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income”
article of such tax treaty;


 


(II)           an
electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8ECI;


 


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


 


(IV)          to
the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the
Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E,
a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit N-2 or Exhibit N-3, IRS Form W-9,
and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership
and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign
Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit N-4 on behalf of each such
direct and indirect partner;


 






    55


     


    

 


(C)           any
Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of
copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this
Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), an electronic copy (or
an original if requested by the Borrower or the Agent) of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming
exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation
as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required
to be made; and


 


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


 


(g)           Each
Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect,
it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to
do so.


 


(h)           If
any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it
has been indemnified pursuant to this §4.4 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this §4.4), it
shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this
 §4.4 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable third party out-of-pocket expenses (including
Taxes) of such indemnified party actually incurred and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such
indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the
relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the indemnified party be required to
pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the indemnified party in
a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and
giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional
amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any indemnified party
to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it reasonably deems confidential) to the
indemnifying party or any other Person.


 


(i)             Each
party’s obligations under this §4.4 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of
rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of
all obligations under any Loan Document.


 






    56


     


    

 


§4.5        Computations.
All computations of interest on the Loans and of other fees to the extent applicable shall be based
on a 360-day year (or a 365 day year in the case of Base Rate Loans) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed. Except as
otherwise provided in the definition of the term “Interest Period” with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans, whenever a payment
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date for such payment
shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such extension. The Outstanding Loans
as reflected on the records of the Agent from time to time shall be considered prima facie evidence of such amount absent manifest
error.


 


§4.6        Suspension
of LIBOR Rate Loans. Subject to §4.16, in the event that, prior to the commencement
of any Interest Period relating to any LIBOR Rate Loan, the Agent shall determine that adequate and reasonable methods do not
exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period, or the Agent shall reasonably determine that LIBOR will not accurately
and fairly reflect the cost of the Lenders making or maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith
give notice of such determination (which shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders absent manifest error)
to the Borrower and the Lenders. In such event (a) any Term Loan Request with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be automatically
withdrawn and shall be deemed a request for a Base Rate Loan and (b) each LIBOR Rate Loan will automatically, on the last
day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, become a Base Rate Loan, and the obligations of the Lenders to make
LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Agent determines that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer
exist, whereupon the Agent shall so notify the Borrower and the Lenders.


 


§4.7        Illegality.
Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any present or future law, regulation, treaty or
directive or the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority
having jurisdiction over a Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make or maintain
LIBOR Rate Loans, such Lender shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances to the Agent and the Borrower and thereupon (a) the
commitment of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall forthwith be suspended, and (b) the LIBOR Rate Loans then outstanding
shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loans
or within such earlier period as may be required by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, before giving such notice, the applicable
Lender shall designate a different lending office if such designation will void the need for giving such notice and will not,
in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender or increase any costs payable by the Borrower
hereunder.


 


§4.8        Additional
Interest. If any LIBOR Rate Loan or any portion thereof is repaid or is converted to
a Base Rate Loan for any reason on a date which is prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate
Loan, or if repayment of the Loans has been accelerated as provided in §12.1, or if the Borrower fails to draw down on the
first day of the applicable Interest Period any amount as to which Borrower has elected a LIBOR Rate Loan or the Borrower makes
any payment in a different currency than is required by this Agreement, the Borrower will pay to the Agent upon demand for the
account of the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages, in addition to any amounts of interest
otherwise payable hereunder, the Breakage Costs. The Borrower understands, agrees and acknowledges the following: (i) no
Lender has any obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in an applicable currency or in connection with the use of LIBOR
as a basis for calculating the rate of interest on a LIBOR Rate Loan; (ii) LIBOR is used merely as a reference in determining
such rate; and (iii) the Borrower has accepted LIBOR as a reasonable and fair basis for calculating such rate and any Breakage
Costs. The Borrower further agrees to pay the Breakage Costs, if any, whether or not a Lender elects to purchase, sell and/or
match funds. For the purpose of calculating amounts payable to a Lender under this Section, each Lender shall be deemed to have
actually funded its relevant LIBOR Rate Loan through the purchase of a deposit bearing interest at LIBOR in an amount equal to
the amount of that LIBOR Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, that each Lender
may fund each of its LIBOR Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation
of amounts payable under this Section.


 






    57


     


    

 


§4.9        Additional
Costs, Etc.. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any present or future
Applicable Law, which expression, as used herein, includes statutes, rules and regulations thereunder and interpretations
thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration or the interpretation thereof and requests, directives,
instructions and notices at any time or from time to time hereafter made upon or otherwise issued to any Lender or the Agent by
any Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall:


 


(a)           subject
any Lender or the Agent to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through
(d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan
Documents, such Lender’s Commitment, or the Loans, or


 


(b)          [Intentionally
Omitted]


 


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


 


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


 


(i)            to
increase the cost to any Lender of making, funding, issuing, renewing, extending, continuing, converting or maintaining any of
the Loans or such Lender’s Commitment, or


 


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


 


(iii)          to
require any Lender or the Agent to make any payment or to forego any interest or other sum payable hereunder, the amount of which
payment or foregone interest or other sum is calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum receivable or deemed received
by such Lender or the Agent from the Borrower hereunder, then, and in each such case, the Borrower will, within fifteen (15) days
of demand made by such Lender or (as the case may be) the Agent at any time and from time to time and as often as the occasion
therefor may arise, pay to such Lender or the Agent such additional amounts as such Lender or the Agent shall determine in good
faith to be sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Agent for such additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest
or other sum. Each Lender and the Agent in determining such amounts may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods generally
applied by such Lender or the Agent. The Borrower’s obligations under this §4.9 shall survive the resignation or replacement
of the Agent or any assignment of rights, by or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment,
satisfaction or discharge of all of the Obligations and the Hedge Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall
not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to this §4.9 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180
days prior to the date of such Lender’s demand; or


 






    58


     


    

 


Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules guidelines
or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the
Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the
United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change
in law, rule, regulation or guidelines or the interpretation thereof for the purposes of this Section regardless of the date
enacted, adopted or issued.


 


§4.10      Capital
Adequacy. If after the date hereof any Lender determines that (a) the adoption of
or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital or liquidity (including, without limitation, on account
of Basel III) ratios or requirements for banks or bank holding companies or any change in the interpretation or application thereof
by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof, or (b) compliance by such Lender or its parent bank
holding company with any guideline, request or directive of any such entity regarding capital adequacy or liquidity ratios or
requirements (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on such Lender’s or such holding
company’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s commitment to make Loans hereunder to a level below that which
such Lender or holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such
Lender’s or such holding company’s then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity position and
assuming the full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then such Lender
may notify the Borrower thereof. The Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender the amount of such reduction in the return on capital
as and when such reduction is determined, upon presentation by such Lender of a statement of the amount setting forth the Lender’s
calculation thereof. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods generally
applied by such Lender. The Borrower’s obligations under this §4.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement of
the Agent or any assignment of rights, by or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment,
satisfaction or discharge of all of the Obligations and the Hedge Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall
not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to this §4.10 for any such amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to
the date of such Lender’s demand. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and
all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking
Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel
III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in law, rule, regulation or guidelines or the interpretation thereof for the
purposes of this Section regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.


 






    59


     


    

 


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


 


§4.12      Default
Interest. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default,
and regardless of whether or not the Agent or the Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans, all principal of the
Loans and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, overdue installments of interest, shall bear interest payable on demand
at a rate per annum equal to (such rate, the “Default Rate”): (a) in the case of Loans of any Type, the rate
per annum then in effect for each such Loan of such Type (inclusive of the Applicable Margin) plus a margin of 2% per annum; and
(b) in the case of other Obligations payable hereunder, the rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans
plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans plus 2% per annum, in each case from the date of such non-payment until such amount
shall be paid in full (after as well as before judgment); provided that if any of such amounts shall exceed the maximum rate permitted
by law, then at the maximum rate permitted by law.


 


§4.13      Certificate.
A certificate setting forth any amounts payable pursuant to §4.8, §4.9, §4.10, §4.11
or §4.12 and a reasonably detailed explanation of such amounts which are due, submitted by any Lender or the Agent to the
Borrower, shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.


 


§4.14      Limitation
on Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to
the contrary, all agreements between or among the Borrower, the Lenders and the Agent, whether now existing or hereafter arising
and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of
any of the Obligations or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received by the Lenders exceed the maximum
amount permissible under Applicable Law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to the Lenders
in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to the Lenders shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under
Applicable Law; and if from any circumstance the Lenders shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by Applicable Law
in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal
balance of the Obligations and to the payment of interest or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal
of the Obligations, such excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders shall,
to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment
in full of the principal of the Obligations (including the period of any renewal or extension thereof) so that the interest thereon
for such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law. This Section shall control all agreements
between or among the Borrower, the Lenders and the Agent.


 






    60


     


    

 


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

		§4.16	Benchmark
                                         Replacement Setting



 


(a)            Benchmark
Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition
Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference
Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance
with clause (1) or (2) 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 (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause
(3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, in each instance notwithstanding
the requirements of §27 or anything else contained herein or in any other Loan Document, 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 date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided
to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan
Document so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders
comprising the Required Lenders.


 


(b)            Benchmark
Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Agent will have
the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein
or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement 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 Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders in writing of
(i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark
Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement
Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (d) below and (v) the
commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by
the Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this §4.16 including, without limitation, any determination
with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment, or implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, 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 on all parties hereto 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 §4.16 and shall not be a basis of any claim of liability of any kind or nature by any party hereto, all
such claims being hereby waived individually by each party hereto.


 


(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 (including
Term SOFR or USD LIBOR) 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 Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor
for the administrator of such Benchmark or a Relevant Governmental Body has provided a public statement or publication of information
announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Agent may modify the definition
of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative
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 or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the
Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate
such previously removed tenor.


 






    62


     


    

 


(e)            Benchmark
Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period,
the Borrower may revoke any request for a conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Rate 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
a 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 the Base Rate.


 


(f)            Certain
Defined Terms. As used in this §4.16:


 


“Available
Tenor” means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, any
tenor for such Benchmark or payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark, as applicable, that is or
may be used for determining the length of an Interest Period pursuant to this Agreement as of such date and not including, for
the avoidance of doubt, any tenor for such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Period”
pursuant to clause (d) of this Section titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting.”


 


“Benchmark”
means, initially, USD LIBOR; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its
related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to USD LIBOR or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark”
means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate
pursuant to clause (a) of this §4.16.


 


“Benchmark
Replacement” means, for any Available Tenor, the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined
by the Agent for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date:


 


		(1)	the sum of: (a) Term SOFR
                                         and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;



 


		(2)	the sum of: (a) Daily Simple
                                         SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;



 


		(3)	the sum of: (a) the alternate
                                         benchmark rate that has been selected by the Agent and the Borrower as the replacement
                                         for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration
                                         to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism
                                         for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving
                                         or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement

                                         value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such
                                         Interest Period that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body
                                         for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement

		(b)	(b)            the

                                         the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the spread adjustment, or method
                                         for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative

                                         Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation
                                         of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment,
                                         for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement
                                         by the Relevant Governmental Body on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date or (ii) any
                                         evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or
                                         method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of

                                         denominated syndicated credit facilities;



 


provided that, in the case of clause (1) above,
such adjustment is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such Benchmark Replacement Adjustment from
time to time as selected by the Agent in its reasonable discretion.

the definition of “LIBOR Business Day,” the definition of “Interest Period,” timing and frequency of determining
rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, length
of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that
the Agent decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the
administration thereof by the Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Agent decides that adoption
of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Agent determines that no market practice for
the administration of such Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Agent decides is reasonably
necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).

Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:


 


		(1)	in the case of clause (1) or
                                         (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of
                                         (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein
                                         and (b) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published
                                         component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide
                                         all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);

                                         Election, the sixth (6th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early
                                         Opt-in Election is provided to the Lenders, so long as the Agent has not received, by

                                         the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Lenders, written notice
                                         of objection to such Early Opt-in Election from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.



 


For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if
the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect
of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination
and (ii) the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with
respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current
Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

by this §5.4), the Agent shall remove Real Estate from the Unencumbered Asset Pool upon the request of the Borrower subject
to and upon the following terms and conditions:


 


(a)           If

deliver to the Agent a written notice of its desire to obtain such removal no later than ten (10) days prior to the date
on which such removal is to be effected;


 


(b)           If
the Unencumbered Asset Pool Value attributable to such Real Estate to be removed is greater than $10,000,000, Parent Company shall
submit to the Agent with such request a Compliance Certificate prepared using the financial statements of Parent Company most
recently provided or required to be provided to the Agent under §6.4 or §7.4 adjusted in the best good faith estimate
of Parent Company to give effect to the proposed removal and demonstrating that no Default or Event of Default with respect to
the covenants referred to therein shall exist after giving effect to such removal;

(d)           the
Borrower shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent in connection with such removal, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees.


 


Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that the conditions set forth above in this §5.4 are not satisfied and no Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower may still remove Real Estate from the Unencumbered Asset Pool upon the request
of Borrower and the prior written consent of Agent and the Required Lenders.


 


§5.5        Release
of Certain Guarantors. In the event that (a) all Unencumbered Asset Pool Properties
either owned by or serviced by a Subsidiary of Parent Company that is a Guarantor shall have been removed from the Unencumbered
Asset Pool in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (or were never part of the Unencumbered Asset Pool Properties), and
(b) such Subsidiary Guarantor will not, upon giving effect to such requested release, be a guarantor of or otherwise liable
with respect to any other Unsecured Debt of the Parent Company or any of its Subsidiaries of the type described in the definition
of Material Subsidiary which would require it to be a Guarantor, then such Guarantor shall be released by Agent from liability
under the Guaranty. The provisions of this §5.5 shall not apply to any Subsidiary of Parent Company which still owns or services
an Unencumbered Asset Pool Property or any direct or indirect interest in an Unencumbered Asset Pool Property.

rights of tenants or licensees under their Leases), to examine the books of account of the Borrower, the Guarantors and their
respective Subsidiaries (and to make copies thereof and extracts therefrom) and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts
of the Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries with, and to be advised as to the same by, their respective
officers, partners or members, all at such reasonable times and intervals as the Agent or any Lender may reasonably request, provided

the foregoing, in the event any Real Estate does not qualify as Eligible Real Estate or satisfy the requirements of §7.18(a),
such Real Estate shall be included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Pool Availability so long as (x) the Agent
shall have received the prior written consent of each of the Required Lenders to the inclusion of such Real Estate in the calculation
of the Unencumbered Asset Pool Availability and (y) at no time after it is included does such Real Estate fail to satisfy
any requirements of the definition of Eligible Real Estate or of §7.18(a) in addition to those it failed to satisfy

(c)            In
the event that all or any material portion of any Eligible Real Estate included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Pool
Availability shall be materially damaged or taken by condemnation, then such property shall no longer be included in the calculation

Borrower or any officer of Parent Company or its Subsidiaries becomes aware of any such disqualification, the Borrower shall deliver
to the Agent a certificate reflecting such disqualification, together with the identity of the disqualified asset, a statement
as to whether any Default or Event of Default arises as a result of such disqualification, and a calculation of the Unencumbered
Asset Pool Availability attributable to such asset. Notwithstanding any failure by Borrower to notify Agent of such disqualification,
the disqualified asset shall be removed from the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Pool Availability. Simultaneously with the
delivery of the items required pursuant above, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a pro forma Compliance Certificate and
Borrowing Base Certificate demonstrating, after giving effect to such removal or disqualification, compliance with the covenants

The Borrower shall:


 


(i)              in
the event of any change in Environmental Laws governing the assessment, release or removal of Hazardous Substances, take all reasonable
action (including, without limitation, the conducting of engineering tests at the sole expense of the Borrower) to confirm that
no Hazardous Substances are or ever were Released or disposed of on any Unencumbered Asset Pool Properties in violation of the
applicable Environmental Law as so changed; and


 






    99


     


    

 


(ii)             if
any Release or disposal of Hazardous Substances which any Person may be legally obligated to contain, correct or otherwise remediate
or which may otherwise expose it to liability shall occur or shall have occurred on any Unencumbered Asset Pool Property (including,
without limitation, any such Release or disposal occurring prior to the acquisition or leasing of such Unencumbered Asset Pool
Property by the Borrower), the Borrower shall, after obtaining knowledge thereof, cause the prompt containment and removal of
such Hazardous Substances and remediation of the Unencumbered Asset Pool Property in full compliance with all applicable Environmental
Laws; provided, that the Borrower shall be deemed to be in compliance with Environmental Laws for the purpose of this clause
(ii) so long as it or a responsible third party with sufficient financial resources is taking reasonable action to remediate

Substances are present in the soil or water at or adjacent to any such Unencumbered Asset Pool Property and (ii) whether
the use and operation of any such Unencumbered Asset Pool Property complies with all Environmental Laws to the extent required
by the Loan Documents. Additionally, at any time that the Agent or the Required Lenders shall have reasonable grounds to believe
that a Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Substances which any Person may be legally obligated to contain, correct or
otherwise remediate or which otherwise may expose such Person to liability may have occurred, relating to any Unencumbered Asset
Pool Property, or that any of the Unencumbered Asset Pool Properties is not in compliance with Environmental Laws to the extent
required by the Loan Documents, the Borrower shall promptly upon the request of Agent obtain and deliver to Agent such environmental
assessments of such Unencumbered Asset Pool Property prepared by an Environmental Engineer as may be reasonably necessary or advisable
for the purpose of evaluating or confirming (i) whether any Hazardous Substances are present in the soil or water at or adjacent
to such Unencumbered Asset Pool Property at levels that would require remediation under applicable Environmental Law and (ii) whether
the use and operation of such Unencumbered Asset Pool Property comply with all Environmental Laws to the extent required by the
Loan Documents. Environmental assessments may include detailed visual inspections of such Unencumbered Asset Pool Property including,
without limitation, any and all storage areas, storage tanks, drains, dry wells and leaching areas, and the taking of soil samples,
as well as such other investigations or analyses as are reasonably necessary or appropriate for a complete determination of the
compliance of such Unencumbered Asset Pool Property and the use and operation thereof with all applicable Environmental Laws.
All environmental assessments contemplated by this §8.6 shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower.


 


§8.7        Distributions.

Omitted].


 


(b)            In
the event that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower and REIT shall make no Distributions to

the maturity of the Obligations has been accelerated, the Borrower and REIT shall not make any Distributions whatsoever, directly
or indirectly.


 


(d)           The

pay applicable withholding tax obligations of such employee or (ii) to issue, to obtain the surrender of, or relinquish Equity

§8.8        Asset

Section 8.13, as permitted by Section 8.13; provided that the Borrower, Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries
may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets subject to any condemnation proceeding (including in lieu thereof). Neither
the Borrower, any Guarantor nor any Subsidiary thereof shall sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Real Estate in one transaction
or a series of transactions during any four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters in excess of an amount equal to thirty-five percent
(35%) of Gross Asset Value, except as the result of a condemnation or casualty and except for the granting of Permitted Liens,
as applicable, without the prior written consent of Agent and the Required Lenders. For the purpose of calculating the thirty-five
percent (35%) threshold in the preceding sentence, in the event of any sale, transfer or other disposition of any Real Estate
by Parent Company or any Subsidiary to any Person which is a non-Wholly Owned Subsidiary, only the portion of the Real Estate
in which the Borrower or the transferring Subsidiary does not retain an interest shall be counted toward such threshold. A transfer
from Parent Company or any Subsidiary to a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower or among Wholly Owned Subsidiaries of the Borrower
shall not count against the thirty-five percent (35%) limit.


 


§8.9        [Intentionally

any Indebtedness other than the Obligations and the Hedge Obligations after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event
of Default; provided, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (x) the prepayment of Indebtedness which is financed solely
from the proceeds of a new loan which would otherwise be permitted by the terms of §8.1; and (y) the prepayment, redemption,
defeasance or other retirement of the principal of Indebtedness secured by Real Estate which is satisfied solely from the proceeds
of a sale of the Real Estate securing such Indebtedness; and (b) modify any document evidencing any Indebtedness (other than
the Obligations) to accelerate the maturity date of such Indebtedness after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default.

Subsidiary of the Borrower), except (a) transactions pursuant to the reasonable requirements of the business of such Person
and upon fair and reasonable terms which are substantially no less favorable to such Person than would be obtained in a comparable
arm’s length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate and (b) the agreements described in §7.18(a)(i)(B)(1) which
have been approved by Agent.


 


§8.14      Equity
Pledges. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Parent Company

or rights to Distributions on account thereof.

without the prior written consent of the Agent, modify or amend any Tax Driven Lease Transaction Documents, or any other agreement
related thereto, in any manner that would (i) cause a change in the accounting treatment of such Tax Driven Lease Transaction
under GAAP, (ii) adversely affect in any material respect the ability of the Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor to repurchase
any property of the Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor that is subject to a Tax Driven Lease Transaction for nominal consideration
or (iii) otherwise cause such transaction to not meet the terms of the definition of Tax Driven Lease Transactions.

Subsidiary, as the case may be, from counsel that is reasonably acceptable to the Agent. For the sake of clarity, Borrower acknowledges
and agrees that in no event shall the granting of any such liens contemplated by the preceding sentence be construed to limit
any of the requirements of this Agreement for Eligible Real Estate, including, without limitation, those set forth in the definition
of “Eligible Real Estate” and §7.18.

(g)            any
of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall fail to pay when due (including, without limitation,

securing any obligation for borrowed money or credit received or other Indebtedness (including under any Derivatives Contract
included in Indebtedness) for such period of time as would permit (assuming the giving of appropriate notice if required) the
holder or holders thereof or of any obligations issued thereunder to accelerate the maturity thereof or require the termination
or other settlement of such obligation; provided that the events described in §12.1(g) shall not constitute an
Event of Default unless such failure to perform, together with other failures to perform as described in §12.1(g), involve
singly or in the aggregate obligations for borrowed money or credit received or other Recourse Indebtedness totaling in excess
of $50,000,000.00 or Non-Recourse Indebtedness in excess of $100,000,000.00;

with the terms thereof;


 


(m)            any
dissolution, termination, partial or complete liquidation, merger or consolidation of any of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any

respect to any Guaranteed Pension Plan, an ERISA Reportable Event shall have occurred and the Required Lenders shall have determined
in their reasonable discretion that such event reasonably could be expected to result in liability of any of the Borrower, the
Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries to the PBGC or such Guaranteed Pension Plan in an aggregate amount exceeding
$20,000,000.00 and (x) such event in the circumstances occurring reasonably could constitute grounds for the termination

    108


     


    

 


(o)           the

could have a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) the Unencumbered Asset Pool Properties;


 


(p)           any
Change of Control shall occur;


 


(q)           an
Event of Default under any of the other Loan Documents shall occur;


 


(r)            [Intentionally

(u)           Any
default, material misrepresentation or breach of warranty in the Bond Subordination and Standstill Agreement by the subordinate

then, and in any such event, the Agent
may, and upon the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice in writing to the Borrower declare all amounts owing with respect
to this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents to be, and they shall thereupon forthwith become, immediately due and
payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower;
provided that in the event of any Event of Default specified in §12.1(h), §12.1(i) or §12.1(j), all such amounts
shall become immediately due and payable automatically and without any requirement of presentment, demand, protest or other notice
of any kind from any of the Lenders or the Agent.


 


§12.2      Certain
Cure Periods; Limitation of Cure Periods.


 


(a)           Notwithstanding
anything contained in §12.1 to the contrary, (i) no Event of Default shall exist hereunder upon the occurrence of any
failure described in §12.1(b) in the event that the Borrower cures such Default within five (5) Business Days after
the date such payment is due, provided, however, that Borrower shall not be entitled to receive more than two (2) grace
periods in the aggregate pursuant to this clause (i) in any period of 365 days ending on the date of any such occurrence
of Default, and provided further that no such cure period shall apply to any payments due upon the maturity of the Notes,
and (ii) no Event of Default shall exist hereunder upon the occurrence of any failure described in §12.1(e) in
the event that the Borrower cures such Default within thirty (30) days following receipt of written notice of such default, provided
that the provisions of this clause (ii) shall not pertain to any default consisting of a failure to comply with §7.4(c),
 §7.14, §7.19, §7.20, §7.22, §8.1, §8.2, §8.3, §8.4, §8.5, §8.7, §8.8, §8.10,
 §8.14 or to any Default excluded from any provision of cure of defaults contained in any other of the Loan Documents.


 






    109


     


    

 


(b)           In
the event that there shall occur any Default that affects only certain Unencumbered Asset Pool Properties or the owner(s) thereof,
then the Borrower may elect to cure such Default (so long as no other Default or Event of Default would arise as a result) by
electing to have Agent remove such Unencumbered Asset Pool Property from the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Pool Availability
and by reducing the Consolidated Total Unsecured Debt by the amount of the Unencumbered Asset Pool Availability attributable to
such Unencumbered Asset Pool Property, in which event such removal and reduction shall be completed within five (5) days
after receipt of notice of such Default from the Agent or the Required Lenders.


 


(c)           Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, any reference in this Agreement or any other Loan Document
to “the continuance of a default” or “the continuance of an Event of Default” or any similar phrase shall
not create or be deemed to create any right of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other party to cure any default following the
expiration of any applicable grace or notice and cure period.


 


§12.3      Termination
of Commitments. If any one or more Events of Default specified in §12.1(h), §12.1(i) or
 §12.1(j) shall occur, then immediately and without any action on the part of the Agent or any Lender any unused portion
of the credit hereunder shall terminate and the Lenders shall be relieved of all obligations to make Loans to the Borrower. No
termination under this §12.3 shall relieve the Borrower or the Guarantors of their obligations to the Lenders arising under
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.


 


§12.4      Remedies.
In case any one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and whether or
not the Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans pursuant to §12.1, the Agent on behalf of the Lenders may,
and upon the direction of the Required Lenders shall, proceed to protect and enforce their rights and remedies under this Agreement,
the Notes and/or any of the other Loan Documents by suit in equity, action at law or other appropriate proceeding, including to
the full extent permitted by Applicable Law the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, the obtaining of the ex parte appointment of a receiver, and, if any amount shall have become due,
by declaration or otherwise, the enforcement of the payment thereof. No remedy herein conferred upon the Agent or the holder of
any Note is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition
to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or any other provision of
law. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement providing that the Loans may be evidenced by multiple Notes in favor of
the Lenders, the Lenders acknowledge and agree that only the Agent may exercise any remedies arising by reason of a Default or
Event of Default. If the Borrower or any Guarantor fails to perform any agreement or covenant contained in this Agreement, any
of the other Loan Documents, any Ground Lease, any Lease or other contract relating to an Unencumbered Asset Pool Property beyond
any applicable period for notice and cure, Agent may itself perform, or cause to be performed, any agreement or covenant of such
Person contained in this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, any Ground Lease, any Lease or other contract relating to
an Unencumbered Asset Pool Property which such Person shall fail to perform, and the out-of-pocket costs of such performance,
together with any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred (including attorneys’
fees incurred in any appeal) by Agent in connection therewith, shall be payable by the Borrower and/or Guarantors upon demand
and shall constitute a part of the Obligations and shall if not paid within five (5) days after demand bear interest at the
rate for overdue amounts as set forth in this Agreement. In the event that all or any portion of the Obligations is collected
by or through an attorney-at-law, the Borrower and the Guarantors shall pay all costs of collection, including, but not limited
to, reasonable attorney’s fees.


 






    110


     


    

 





 


§12.5     Distribution
of Proceeds. In the event that, following the occurrence and during the continuance of
any Event of Default, any monies are received in connection with the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or otherwise with
respect to the realization upon any assets of the Borrower or Guarantors, such monies shall be distributed for application as
follows:


 


(a)            First,
to the payment of, or (as the case may be) the reimbursement of the Agent for or in respect of, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs,
expenses, disbursements and losses which shall have been paid, incurred or sustained by the Agent in connection with the collection
of such monies by the Agent, for the exercise, protection or enforcement by the Agent of all or any of the rights, remedies, powers
and privileges of the Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in support of any provision
of adequate indemnity to the Agent against any taxes or liens which by law shall have, or may have, priority over the rights of
the Agent or the Lenders to such monies;


 


(b)            Second,
to all other Obligations and the Hedge Obligations (including any interest, expenses or other obligations of either the Obligations
or the Hedge Obligations incurred after the commencement of a bankruptcy) in such order or preference as the Required Lenders
shall determine; provided, that (i) [intentionally omitted], (ii) distributions in respect of such other Obligations
shall include, on a pari passu basis, any Agent’s fee payable pursuant to §4.3; (iii) in the event that any Lender
is a Defaulting Lender, payments to such Lender shall be governed by §2.14, (iv) except as otherwise provided in clause
(iii), Obligations owing to the Lenders with respect to each type of Obligation such as interest, fees and expenses and the Hedge
Obligations shall be made among the Lenders and the Lender Hedge Providers pro rata and (v) payment of principal on the Obligations
and the Hedge Obligations shall be made on a pari passu basis; and provided, further that the Required Lenders may
in their discretion make proper allowance to take into account any Obligations not then due and payable; and


 


(c)            Third,
the excess, if any, shall be returned to the Borrower or to such other Persons as are entitled thereto.


 








    111


     


    

 


§13.       SETOFF.


 


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


 


§14.      THE
AGENT.


 


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


 


§14.2     Employees
and Agents. The Agent may exercise its powers and execute its duties by or through employees
or agents and shall be entitled to take, and to rely on, advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and
duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Agent may utilize the services of such Persons as the Agent may
reasonably determine, and all reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of any such Persons shall be paid by the Borrower.


 






    112


     


    

 


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


 


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


 






    113


     


    

 


§14.5      Payments.


 


(a)            A
payment by the Borrower or the Guarantors to the Agent hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents for the account of any
Lender shall constitute a payment to such Lender. The Agent agrees to distribute to each Lender not later than one Business Day
after the Agent’s receipt of good funds, determined in accordance with the Agent’s customary practices, such Lender’s
pro rata share of payments received by the Agent for the account of the Lenders in like funds as received except as otherwise
expressly provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents. In the event that the Agent fails to distribute such amounts
within one Business Day as provided above, the Agent shall pay interest on such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal
Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any
Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, each payment by the
Borrower hereunder shall be applied in accordance with §2.14(d).


 


(b)            If
in the opinion of the Agent the distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder, under the Notes or under
any of the other Loan Documents might involve it in liability, it may refrain from making such distribution until its right to
make such distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction. If a court of competent jurisdiction
shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution
shall have been made shall either repay to the Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay
over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court in the applicable currency of such recovery
or judgment.


 


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


 


§14.7      Indemnity.
The Lenders severally and ratably in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages agree
hereby to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent from and against any and all claims, actions and suits (whether groundless or
otherwise), losses, damages, costs, expenses (including any expenses for which the Agent has not been reimbursed by the Borrower
and the Guarantors as required by §15), and liabilities of every nature and character arising out of or related to this Agreement,
the Notes, or any of the other Loan Documents and the Bond Subordination and Standstill Agreement or the transactions contemplated
or evidenced hereby or thereby, or the Agent’s actions taken hereunder or thereunder to the extent not reimbursed by the
Borrower and the Guarantors, except to the extent that any of the same shall be directly caused by the Agent’s willful misconduct
or gross negligence as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the expiration of all applicable appeal periods.
The agreements in this §14.7 shall survive the payment of all amounts payable under the Loan Documents.


 


§14.8      Agent
as Lender. In its individual capacity, KeyBank shall have the same obligations and the
same rights, powers and privileges in respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it, and as the holder of any of the Notes
as it would have were it not also the Agent.


 






    114


     


    

 


§14.9    Resignation.
The Agent may resign at any time by giving ten (10) calendar days’ prior written notice
thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders, subject to the terms of §18.1,
shall have the right to appoint as a successor Agent any Lender or any bank whose senior debt obligations are rated not less than
 “A3” or its equivalent by Moody’s or not less than “A-” or its equivalent by S&P and which has
a net worth of not less than $500,000,000.00. Unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such
successor Agent shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. If no successor Agent shall have been appointed and shall have
accepted such appointment within ten (10) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the
retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be any Lender or any financial institution
whose senior debt obligations are rated not less than “A3” or its equivalent by Moody’s or not less than “A-”
or its equivalent by S&P and which has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000.00. Upon the acceptance of any appointment
as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations hereunder as Agent. After any retiring Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it
while it was acting as Agent. Upon any change in the Agent under this Agreement, the resigning Agent shall execute such assignments
of and amendments to the Loan Documents as may be necessary to substitute the successor Agent for the resigning Agent.


 


§14.10  Duties
in the Case of Enforcement. In case one or more Events of Default have occurred and shall
be continuing, and whether or not acceleration of the Obligations shall have occurred, the Agent may and, if (a) so requested
by the Required Lenders and (b) the Lenders have provided to the Agent such additional indemnities and assurances in accordance
with their respective Commitment Percentages against expenses and liabilities as the Agent may reasonably request, shall proceed
to exercise all or any legal and equitable and other rights or remedies as it may have; provided, however, that
unless and until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action,
or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the
Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Agent reasonably determines payment is in the best interest of all
the Lenders, Agent may without the approval of the Lenders pay taxes and insurance premiums and spend money for maintenance, repairs
or other expenses which may be necessary to be incurred in an aggregate amount not to exceed $2,500,000.00, and Agent shall promptly
thereafter notify the Lenders of such action. Each Lender shall, within thirty (30) days of request therefor, pay to the Agent
its Commitment Percentage of the reasonable costs incurred by the Agent in taking any such actions hereunder to the extent that
such costs shall not be promptly reimbursed to the Agent by the Borrower or out of any collateral within such period. The Required
Lenders may direct the Agent in writing as to the method and the extent of any such exercise, the Lenders hereby agreeing to indemnify
and hold the Agent harmless in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages from all liabilities incurred in respect
of all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such directions, provided that the Agent need not comply with any such
direction to the extent that the Agent reasonably believes the Agent’s compliance with such direction to be unlawful in
any applicable jurisdiction or commercially unreasonable under the UCC as enacted in any applicable jurisdiction.


 


§14.11  Bankruptcy.
In the event a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding is commenced by or against the Borrower
or any Guarantor with respect to the Obligations, the Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right to file and pursue a joint
proof claim on behalf of all Lenders. Any votes with respect to such claims or otherwise with respect to such proceedings shall
be subject to the vote of the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders as required by this Agreement. Each Lender irrevocably waives
its right to file or pursue a separate proof of claim in any such proceedings unless Agent fails to file such claim within thirty
(30) days after receipt of written notice from the Lenders requesting that Agent file such proof of claim.

§14.12   [Intentionally

§14.13   Reliance
by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability
for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic
message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed,
sent or otherwise authenticated by an Authorized Officer. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone
and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining
compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a
Lender, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Agent shall have received notice to
the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for
the Borrower and/or the Guarantors), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any
action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.


 


§14.14    Approvals.


 


(a)            If
consent is required for some action under this Agreement, or except as otherwise provided herein an approval of the Lenders or
the Required Lenders is required or permitted under this Agreement, each Lender agrees to give the Agent, within ten (10) days
of receipt of the written request for action together with all reasonably requested information related thereto requested by such
Lender (or such lesser period of time required by the terms of the Loan Documents), notice in writing of approval or disapproval
(collectively “Directions”) in respect of any action requested or proposed in writing pursuant to the terms hereof.
To the extent that any Lender does not approve any recommendation of Agent, such Lender shall in such notice to Agent describe
the actions that would be acceptable to such Lender. If the Agent submits to the Lenders a written request for consent with respect
to this Agreement and any Lender fails to provide Directions within ten (10) days after such Lender receives from the Agent
such initial request for Directions together with all reasonably requested information related thereto, then Agent shall make
a second request for approval, which approval shall include the following in all capital, bolded, block letters on the first page thereof:


 


“THE FOLLOWING
REQUEST REQUIRES A RESPONSE WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS OF RECEIPT. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL BE DEEMED AN APPROVAL OF THE
REQUEST.”


 


If
the Agent submits to such Lender a second written request to approve or disapprove such action, and a Lender fails to provide
Directions within five (5) Business Days after the Lender receives from the Agent such second request, then any Lender’s
failure to respond to a request for Directions within the required time period shall be deemed to constitute a Direction to take
such requested action.


 






    116


     


    

 


(b)            In
the event that any recommendation is not approved by the requisite number of Lenders and a subsequent approval on the same subject
matter is requested by Agent (a “Subsequent Approval Request”), then for the purposes of this paragraph each Lender
shall be required to respond to a Subsequent Approval Request within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such request.


 


If the Agent submits
to the Lenders a Subsequent Approval Request and any Lender fails to provide Directions within five (5) Business Days after
such Lender receives from the Agent the Subsequent Approval Request, then Agent shall make a second request for approval, which
approval shall include the following in all capital, bolded, block letters on the first page thereof:


 


“THE FOLLOWING
REQUEST REQUIRES A RESPONSE WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS OF RECEIPT. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL BE DEEMED AN APPROVAL OF THE
REQUEST.”


 


If the Agent submits
to such Lender a second written request to approve or disapprove the Subsequent Approval Request, and the Lender fails to approve
or disapprove such Subsequent Approval Request within five (5) Business Days after the Lender receives from the Agent such
second request, then any Lender’s failure to respond to a request for Directions within the required time period shall be
deemed to constitute a Direction to take such requested action.


 


(c)            Each
request by Agent for a Direction shall include Agent’s recommended course of action or determination. Notices given by Agent
pursuant to this §14.14 may be given through the use of Intralinks, Syndtrak or another electronic information dissemination
system. Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to assume that any officer of the other Lenders delivering any notice, consent,
certificate or other writing is authorized to give such notice, consent, certificate or other writing unless Agent and such other
Lenders have otherwise been notified in writing. Notwithstanding anything in this §14.14 to the contrary, any matter requiring
all Lender’s approval or consent shall not be deemed given by any Lender’s failure to respond to any approval or consent
request within any applicable reply period.


 


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


 


§14.16   [Intentionally
Omitted.]




 


§14.17   Bond
Subordination and Standstill Agreement. The Borrower, Guarantors and the Lenders acknowledge
that Agent has entered into the Bond Subordination and Standstill Agreement. The Borrower and Guarantors acknowledge that the
existence of the Bond Subordination and Standstill Agreement and the performance by Agent and the Lenders of their obligations
under the Bond Subordination and Standstill Agreement shall not affect, impair or release the obligations of the Borrower or Guarantors
under the Loan Documents. The Bond Subordination and Standstill Agreement is solely for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders and
not for the benefit of the Borrower or Guarantors, and the Borrower and Guarantors shall have no rights thereunder or any right
to insist on the performance thereof. Agent is authorized by Lenders to perform its obligations under the Bond Subordination and
Standstill Agreement, and each Lender agrees to be bound thereby


 






    117


     


    

 


§14.18   Reliance
on Hedge Provider. For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with §12.5,
the Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the trustee, paying agent or other similar representative (each, a “Representative”)
or, in the absence of such a Representative, upon the holder of the Hedge Obligations for a determination (which each holder of
the Hedge Obligations agrees (or shall agree) to provide upon request of the Agent) of the outstanding Hedge Obligations owed
to the holder thereof. Unless it has actual knowledge (including by way of written notice from such holder) to the contrary, the
Agent, in acting hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that no Hedge Obligations are outstanding.


 


§15.        EXPENSES.


 


The
Borrower and the Guarantors jointly and severally agree to pay (a) the reasonable out-of-pocket costs of producing and reproducing
this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other agreements and instruments mentioned herein, (b) any Indemnified

in subparagraph (d), above), (f) all out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs, and the fees and
costs of appraisers, engineers, investment bankers or other experts retained by any Lender or the Agent) incurred by any Lender

the terms “attorneys’ fees” or “legal fees” shall mean reasonable attorneys’ fees in the amount
actually incurred at the attorneys’ normal hourly rates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this §15,
REIT shall not have any expense reimbursement obligations in this §15 except as and to the extent provided in the Springing

The Borrower and the

Bookrunners and each partner, director, officer, employee, agent and Affiliate thereof and Person who controls the Agent or any

representations and warranties made herein, in the Notes, in any of the other Loan Documents or in any documents or other papers
delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries pursuant hereto or thereto shall
be deemed to have been relied upon by the Lenders and the Agent, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made

full force and effect so long as any amount due under this Agreement or the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents remains outstanding

or the Agent at any time by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries pursuant hereto
or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall constitute representations and warranties by such Person hereunder.


 


§18.        ASSIGNMENT
AND PARTICIPATION.


 


§18.1     Conditions
to Assignment by Lenders. Except as provided herein, each Lender may assign to one or
more banks or other entities (which shall expressly exclude any natural persons) all or a portion of its interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment Percentage and Commitment and the same portion
of the Loans at the time owing to it and the Notes held by it); provided that (a) the Agent, and, so long as no Default
or Event of Default exists hereunder, the Borrower shall have each given its prior written consent to such assignment, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that such consent shall not be required for any assignment to another
Lender, to a lender or an Affiliate of a Lender which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the assigning
Lender or to a wholly-owned Subsidiary of such Lender), provided that the Borrower shall have been deemed to have consented to
any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Agent within five (5) Business Days after having
received noticed thereof; (b) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Commitment in the event an interest in the Term
Loans is assigned, (c) the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for recording in the Register
(as hereinafter defined) an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement in the form of Exhibit K annexed hereto, together
with any Notes subject to such assignment, (d) in no event shall any assignment be to any Person controlling, controlled
by or under common control with, or which is not otherwise free from influence or control by, the Borrower or any Guarantor or
be to a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender, (e) [intentionally omitted], (f) such assignee shall
acquire an interest in the Loans of not less than $5,000,000.00 and integral multiples of $1,000,000.00 in excess thereof (or
if less, the remaining Loans of the assignor), unless waived by the Agent, and so long as no Default or Event of Default exists
hereunder, the Borrower, and (g) such assignee shall be subject to the terms of any intercreditor agreement among the Lenders
and the Agent. Upon execution, delivery, acceptance and recording of such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (i) the assignee
thereunder shall be a party hereto and all other Loan Documents executed by the Lenders and, to the extent provided in such Assignment
and Acceptance Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder, (ii) the assigning Lender shall, upon payment
to the Agent of the registration fee referred to in §18.2, be released from its obligations under this Agreement arising
after the effective date of such assignment with respect to the assigned portion of its interests, rights and obligations under
this Agreement, and (iii) the Agent may unilaterally amend Schedule 1.1 to reflect such assignment. In connection
with each assignment, the assignee shall represent and warrant to the Agent, the assignor and each other Lender as to whether
such assignee is controlling, controlled by, under common control with or is not otherwise free from influence or control by,
the Borrower and the Guarantors, and whether such assignee is a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender. In connection
with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until,
in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments
to the Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases
by the assignee of participations or actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Agent, the applicable
pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender to each of which the applicable assignee
and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting
Lender to the Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its
full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Commitment Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that
any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without
compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender
for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.


 






    120


     


    

 


§18.2     Register.
The Agent shall maintain on behalf of the Borrower a copy of each assignment delivered to it and
a register or similar list (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the
Commitment Percentages of and principal amount of the Loans owing to the Lenders from time to time. The entries in the Register
shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for
inspection by the Borrower and the Lenders at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon each
such recordation, the assigning Lender agrees to pay to the Agent a registration fee in the sum of $5,000.00.


 


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


 






    121


     


    

 


§18.4     Participations.
Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Lenders or other entities in all or a portion
of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (a) any
such sale or participation shall not affect the rights and duties of the selling Lender hereunder, (b) such participation
shall not entitle such participant to any rights or privileges under this Agreement or any Loan Documents, including, without
limitation, rights granted to the Lenders under §4.8, §4.9 and §4.10, (c) such participation shall not entitle
the participant to the right to approve waivers, amendments or modifications, (d) such participant shall have no direct rights
against the Borrower or the Guarantors, (e) such sale is effected in accordance with all Applicable Laws, and (f) such
participant shall not be a Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with, or which is not otherwise free from
influence or control by any of the Borrower or any of the Guarantors and shall not be a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a
Defaulting Lender; provided, however, such Lender may agree with the participant that it will not, without the consent
of the participant, agree to (i) increase, or extend the term or extend the time or waive any requirement for the reduction
or termination of, such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of or interest
on the Loans or portions thereof owing to such Lender, (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal; (iv) reduce
the rate at which interest is payable thereon, or reduce the amount or rate of any fee payable to an affected Lender hereunder
(excluding any fee payable to any arranger or the Agent in its capacity as administrative agent hereunder), or (v) release
the Borrower or any Guarantor (except as otherwise permitted under §5.5). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting
solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address
of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other
obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation
to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating
to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Documents) to any Person except
to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form
under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be
conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as
the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance
of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.


 


§18.5     Pledge
by Lender. Any Lender may at any time pledge all or any portion of its interest and rights
under this Agreement (including all or any portion of its Note) to any of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks organized under §4
of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. §341, to the Federal Farm Credit Funding Corporation or to such other Person as the
Agent may approve to secure obligations of such Lender. No such pledge or the enforcement thereof shall release the pledgor Lender
from its obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents.


 


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


 






    122


     


    

 


§18.7     Disclosure.
The Borrower and the Guarantors each agree to promptly cooperate with any Lender in connection with
any proposed assignment or participation of all or any portion of its Commitment. The Borrower and the Guarantors each agree that
in addition to disclosures made in accordance with standard banking practices any Lender may disclose information obtained by
such Lender pursuant to this Agreement to assignees or participants and potential assignees or participants hereunder other than
a Disclosed Competitor in accordance with the provisions of the following sentence. Each Lender agrees for itself that it shall
use reasonable efforts in accordance with its customary procedures to hold confidential all non-public information obtained from
the Borrower or Guarantors, and shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with its customary procedures to not disclose such
information to any other Person, it being understood and agreed that, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender may make (a) disclosures
to its participants (provided such Persons are advised of the provisions of this §18.7), (b) disclosures to its directors,
officers, employees, Affiliates, partners, accountants, appraisers, legal counsel and other professional advisors of such Lender
(provided that such Persons who are not employees of such Lender are advised of the provision of this §18.7), (c) disclosures
customarily provided or reasonably required by any potential or actual bona fide assignee, transferee or participant or their
respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, accountants, appraisers, legal counsel and other professional advisors
in connection with a potential or actual assignment or transfer by such Lender of any Loans or any participations therein (provided
such Persons are advised of the provisions of this §18.7), (d) disclosures to bank regulatory authorities or self-regulatory
bodies with jurisdiction over such Lender, or (e) disclosures required or requested by any other governmental authority or
representative thereof or pursuant to legal process; provided that, unless specifically prohibited by Applicable Law or court
order, each Lender shall notify the Borrower of any request by any governmental authority or representative thereof prior to disclosure
(other than any such request in connection with any examination of such Lender by such government authority) for disclosure of
any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information, (f) disclosures with the prior written consent of
the Borrower, and (g) disclosures made in connection with any enforcement by Agent or the Lenders of the Loan Documents.
In addition, each Lender may make disclosure of such information to any contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual
counterparty’s professional advisors (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisors agree to be bound
by the provisions of this §18.7). Non-public information shall not include any information which is or subsequently becomes
publicly available other than as a result of a disclosure of such information by a Lender, or prior to the delivery to such Lender
is within the possession of such Lender if such information is not known by such Lender to be subject to another confidentiality
agreement with or other obligations of secrecy to the Borrower or the Guarantors, or is disclosed with the prior approval of the
Borrower or Guarantors. Nothing herein shall prohibit the disclosure of non-public information to the extent necessary to enforce
the Loan Documents. In addition, the Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about
this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Agents
and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments.


 


§18.8     Amendments
to Loan Documents. Upon any such assignment or participation, the Borrower and the Guarantors
shall, upon the request of the Agent, enter into such documents as may be reasonably required by the Agent to modify the Loan
Documents to reflect such assignment or participation.


 






    123


     


    

 


§18.9     Mandatory
Assignment. In the event the Borrower requests that certain amendments, modifications
or waivers be made to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents which request requires the prior approval of all Lenders
or all affected Lenders and which request is approved by the Required Lenders but is not approved by all Lenders or all affected
Lenders (any such non-consenting Lender shall hereafter be referred to as the “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, within
thirty (30) Business Days after the Borrower’s receipt of notice of such disapproval by such Non-Consenting Lender, the
Borrower shall have the right as to such Non-Consenting Lender, to be exercised by delivery of written notice delivered to the
Agent and the Non-Consenting Lender within thirty (30) Business Days of receipt of such notice, to elect to cause the Non-Consenting
Lender to transfer its Commitment. The Agent shall promptly notify the remaining Lenders which are not Non-Consenting Lenders
that each of such Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire a portion of the Commitment, pro rata based
upon their relevant Commitment Percentages, of the Non-Consenting Lender (or if any of such Lenders does not elect to purchase
its pro rata share, then to such remaining Lenders in such proportion as approved by the Agent). In the event that the Lenders
do not elect to acquire all of the Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitment, then the Agent shall endeavor to find a new Lender
or Lenders to acquire such remaining Commitment. Upon any such purchase of the Commitment of the Non-Consenting Lender, the Non-Consenting
Lender’s interests in the Obligations and its rights hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall terminate at the date
of purchase except that its indemnification rights hereunder shall survive, and the Non-Consenting Lender shall promptly execute
and deliver any and all documents reasonably requested by Agent to surrender and transfer such interest, including, without limitation,
an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K and such Non-Consenting Lender’s
original Note. The purchase price for the Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitment shall equal any and all amounts outstanding
and owed by Borrower to the Non-Consenting Lender, including principal and all accrued and unpaid interest or fees, plus any applicable

to any other Lender which is a party hereto,
at the address for such Lender set forth on its signature page hereto, and to any Lender which may hereafter become a party
to this Agreement, at such address as may be designated by such Lender. Each Notice shall be effective upon being personally delivered
or upon being sent by overnight courier or upon being deposited in the United States Mail as aforesaid, or if transmitted by telecopy
is permitted, upon being sent and confirmation of receipt. The time period in which a response to such Notice must be given or
any action taken with respect thereto (if any), however, shall commence to run from the date of receipt if personally delivered
or sent by overnight courier, or if so deposited in the United States Mail, the earlier of three (3) Business Days following
such deposit or the date of receipt as disclosed on the return receipt. Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability
to deliver because of changed address for which no notice was given shall be deemed to be receipt of the Notice sent. By giving
at least fifteen (15) days’ prior Notice thereof, the Borrower, Guarantors, a Lender or Agent shall have the right from
time to time and at any time during the term of this Agreement to change their respective addresses and each shall have the right
to specify as its address any other address within the United States of America.


 


Loan Documents and
notices under the Loan Documents may, with Agent’s approval, be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile and by signatures
delivered in “PDF” format by electronic mail. The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject
to Applicable Law, have the same force and effect as an original copy with manual signatures and shall be binding on the Borrower,
the Guarantors, Agent and Lenders. Agent may also require that any such documents and signature delivered by facsimile or “PDF”
format by electronic mail be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or
deliver any such manually-signed original shall not affect the effectiveness of any facsimile or “PDF” document or
signature.


 


Electronic
Execution of Loan Documents. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and
words of like import in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents including any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to
include electronic signatures or electronic records, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability
as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided
for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State
Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.


 


Notices and other
communications to the Agent, the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail
and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to
notices to any Lender pursuant to §2 if such Lender has notified the Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under
such Section by electronic communication. The Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other
communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such
procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and
other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement
from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other
written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received
upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification
that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and
(ii) above, if such notice, e-mail or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient,
such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient.


 






    126


     


    

 


§20.        RELATIONSHIP.


 


Neither the Agent
nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or fiduciary duty to the Borrower, the Guarantors or their respective Subsidiaries
(collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Loan Parties”) arising out of or in connection with this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder, and the relationship between
each Lender and Agent, and the Borrower and the Guarantors is solely that of a lender and borrower, and nothing contained herein
or in any of the other Loan Documents shall in any manner be construed as making the parties hereto partners, joint venturers
or any other relationship other than lender and borrower. Each Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for
purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties,
their stockholders and/or their affiliates. The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated
by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial
transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and
with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Loan
Party, its stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies
with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or
will advise any Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Loan Party except
the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the
agent or fiduciary of any Loan Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. Each Loan Party acknowledges
and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible
for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Loan Party agrees
that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar
duty to such Loan Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.


 


§21.        GOVERNING
LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND SERVICE.


 


THIS AGREEMENT
AND EACH OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED HEREIN OR THEREIN, SHALL, PURSUANT TO NEW YORK
GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SECTION 5 1401, BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE BORROWER AGREES THAT ANY SUIT
FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION
IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING ANY FEDERAL COURT SITTING THEREIN). THE BORROWER FURTHER ACCEPTS, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY,
THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND ANY RELATED APPELLATE COURT AND IRREVOCABLY (i) AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ANY
JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND (ii) WAIVES ANY OBJECTION
IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH A COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT
FORUM. THE BORROWER FURTHER AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH SUIT MAY BE MADE UPON THE BORROWER BY MAIL AT THE
ADDRESS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 19 HEREOF. IN ADDITION TO THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR ANY FEDERAL COURT SITTING THEREIN,
THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER MAY BRING ACTION(S) FOR ENFORCEMENT ON A NONEXCLUSIVE BASIS WHERE ANY ASSETS OF THE BORROWER
AND THE GUARANTORS EXIST AND THE BORROWER CONSENTS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND THE SERVICE OF PROCESS
IN ANY SUCH SUIT BEING MADE UPON THE BORROWER BY MAIL AT THE ADDRESS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 19 HEREOF.

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


 


EACH OF THE BORROWER,
THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF ANY DISPUTE
IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY NOTE OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, ANY RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER

ANY SUCH LITIGATION ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, PUNITIVE
OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES. THE BORROWER (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR
ATTORNEY OF ANY LENDER OR THE AGENT HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH LENDER OR THE AGENT WOULD NOT, IN
THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HAVE BEEN
INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS TO WHICH THEY ARE PARTIES BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE WAIVERS

§26.        DEALINGS
WITH THE BORROWER AND THE GUARANTORS.


 


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


 


§27.        CONSENTS,
AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS, ETC..


 


Except as otherwise
expressly provided in this Agreement, any consent or approval required or permitted by this Agreement may be given, and any term
of this Agreement or of any other instrument related hereto or mentioned herein may be amended, and the performance or observance
by the Borrower or the Guarantors of any terms of this Agreement or such other instrument or the continuance of any Default or
Event of Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with,
but only with, the written consent of the Required Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the following may occur without
the written consent of: (a) in the case of a reduction in the rate of interest on the Notes (other than a reduction or waiver
of default interest), the consent of each Lender holding a Note affected by such interest rate reduction; (b) in the case
of an increase in the Commitment or the amount of the Commitments of any Lender, the consent of such Lender whose Commitment is
increased; (c) in the case of any increase in the Total Commitment (other than in connection with an increase under §2.11),
each Lender; (d) in the case of a forgiveness, reduction or waiver of the principal of any unpaid Loan or any interest thereon,
fee or prepayment premium payable under the Loan Documents, the consent of each Lender that would have otherwise received such
principal, interest, fee or prepayment premium; (e) in the case of a change in the amount of any fee payable to a Lender
hereunder, the consent of each Lender to which such fee or prepayment premium would otherwise be owed; (f) in the case of
the postponement of any date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on the Loan, the consent of each Lender that would
otherwise have received such principal or interest at such earlier fixed date; (g) [intentionally omitted]; (h) in the
case of a change in the manner of distribution of any payments to the Lenders or the Agent, the consent of each Lender directly
affected thereby; (i) in the case of the release of the Borrower or any Guarantor, except as otherwise provided in §5.5,
the consent of each Lender; (j) in the case of an amendment of the definition of Required Lenders, each Lender; (k) in
the case of any modification to require a Lender to fund a pro rata share of a request for any advance of the Loan to Borrower
other than based on such Lender’s Commitment Percentage, the consent of each such Lender thereby required to fund a pro
rata share other than based on its Commitment Percentage; (l) in the case of an amendment to this §27, each Lender directly
affected thereby; or (m) in the case of an amendment of any provision of this Agreement or the Loan Documents which requires
the approval of all of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, to require a lesser number of Lenders to approve such action, each
Lender. Any fee letter may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed by the parties thereto.
There shall be no amendment, modification or waiver of any provision in the Loan Documents which result in a modification of the
conditions to funding or in increased borrowing availability with respect to the Commitment without the consent of the Required
Lenders. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent on any matter
not expressly waived. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right
shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. No notice to or demand upon any of Borrower or Guarantors
shall entitle Borrower or Guarantors to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder
(and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected
with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders, except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting
Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification
requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender disproportionately
adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender). Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Agreement, including this §27, this Agreement may be amended by Borrower and Agent to provide for any
Commitment Increase in the manner contemplated by §2.11.


 






    129


     


    

 


Further notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this §27, if the Agent and the Borrower have jointly identified an ambiguity, omission, mistake,
typographical error or other defect in any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or an inconsistency between
provisions of this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents, the Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend, modify or
supplement such provision or provisions to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect or inconsistency
so long as to do so would not adversely affect the interest of the Lenders. Any such amendment, modification or supplement shall
become effective without any further action or consent of any of other party to this Agreement and a copy thereof will be promptly
forwarded by Agent to each of the Lenders.


 


Any
amendment of the Bond Subordination and Standstill Agreement or waiver of the terms thereof shall require the written consent
of the Required Lenders. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent
thereon. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate
as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. No notice to or demand upon any of the Borrower or the Guarantors shall
entitle the Borrower or the Guarantors to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.


 






    130


     


    

 



 


 


§28.         SEVERABILITY.


 


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


 


§29.         TIME
OF THE ESSENCE.


 


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


 


§30.         NO
UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS.


 


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


 


§31.         REPLACEMENT
NOTES.


 


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


 


§32.         NO
THIRD PARTIES BENEFITED.


 


This Agreement and
the other Loan Documents are made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of the Borrower, the Guarantors, the
Lenders, the Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners, the Lender Hedge Providers and their permitted successors and assigns,
and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim
in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. All conditions to the performance of the obligations of
the Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement, including the obligation to make Loans, are imposed solely and exclusively for
the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in
accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that the Agent and the Lenders will refuse to make Loans in the absence of
strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall, under any circumstances, be deemed to be a beneficiary of
such conditions, any and all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by the Agent and the Lenders at any time if in their
sole discretion they deem it desirable to do so. In particular, the Agent and the Lenders make no representations and assume no
obligations as to third parties concerning the quality of the construction by the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their Subsidiaries
of any development or the absence therefrom of defects.


 






    131


    


    

 


§33.         PATRIOT
ACT.


 


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


 


§34.         INVESTOR
GUARANTIES.


 


As an accommodation
to Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders have agreed to accept from time to time, upon the request of Borrower, guaranties from certain
Persons who are shareholders, members, partners or affiliates of Borrower or REIT (such Persons are hereinafter referred to as
the “Investor Guarantors”, and such guaranties are hereinafter referred to individually as the “Investor Guaranty”
and collectively as the “Investor Guaranties”); provided that the aggregate principal amount of the Obligations guaranteed
by the Investor Guarantors shall not exceed $150,000,000.00. The form of each Investor Guaranty shall be subject to the prior approval
of Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. No Investor Guarantor shall be a Person with
whom Agent or any Lender is prohibited by Applicable Law from doing business with, including, without limitation, by virtue of
OFAC. Borrower shall deliver to Agent such information as Agent may reasonably request to verify the foregoing. Without limiting
the foregoing, no event or circumstance which shall occur with respect to any of such Investor Guarantors, nor any act or omission
by Agent or any of the Lenders with respect to any of the Investor Guarantors or the Investor Guaranties, shall in any event limit,
impair or otherwise affect the liability of the Borrower or Guarantors to the Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, and the Borrower and Guarantors hereby waive and agree not to assert or take advantage of any defense based
thereon. Agent may at any time in its sole discretion, but only with the consent of the Investor Guarantor or in accordance with
the terms of the Investor Guaranty (provided that consent of the Investor Guarantor shall not be required as a condition to Agent
and the Lenders accepting any payments or prepayments of the Obligations, or otherwise dealing with the Loan or the Loan Documents),
release any Investor Guarantor from its Investor Guaranty without affecting the liability of Borrower or Guarantors under the Loan
Documents.


 


§35.         NON-RECOURSE
TO REIT.


 


Except to the extent
set forth in the Springing Guaranty and subject to the limitations described below, the Obligations of the Borrower under this
Agreement are non-recourse to the REIT, and payable only out of cash flow and assets of the Borrower and the other Guarantors.
Agent, the Lenders and the Lender Hedge Providers agree that the REIT, nor its assets shall be liable for any of the Obligations
of the Borrower under this Agreement as a result of its status as a general partner of the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(a) if an Event of Default occurs, nothing in this §35 shall in any way prevent or hinder the Agent or the Lenders in
the pursuit or enforcement of any right, remedy, or judgment against the Borrower or any of the other Guarantors, or any of their
respective assets; (b) the REIT shall be fully liable to the Agent and the Lenders to the same extent that REIT would be liable
absent the foregoing provision of this §35 for fraud or willful misrepresentation by the Borrower, REIT, or any of their respective
Affiliates or Subsidiaries (to the full extent of losses suffered by the Agent or any Lender by reason of such fraud or willful
misrepresentation); and (c) nothing in this §35 shall be deemed to be a waiver of any right which Agent may have under
 §506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor thereto or similar provisions
under applicable state law to file a claim against the Borrower or any of the other Guarantors for the full amount of the Obligations.


 






    132


    


    

 


§36.
        ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND CONSENT TO BAIL-IN OF EEA FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS




 


Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party
hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability
is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to,
and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:


 


(a)            the
application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which
may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and


 


(b)            the
effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:


 


(i)             a
reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;


 


(ii)            a
conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution,
its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or
other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document; or


 


(iii)           the
variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution
Authority.


 


§37.        ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
REGARDING ANY SUPPORTED QFCs.


 


To the extent that
the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for a Derivatives Contract 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):


 






    133


    


    

 


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 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. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect
to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit
Support.

FOR
VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (“Maker”), hereby promises to pay to ________________ __________________ (“Payee”),
or order, in accordance with the terms of that certain Term Loan Agreement, dated as of October 16, 2020, as from time
to time in effect, among the Borrower, KeyBank National Association, for itself and as Agent, and such other Lenders as may be
from time to time named therein (the “Loan Agreement”), to the extent not sooner paid, on or before the Maturity Date,
the principal sum of _________________ ($__________), or such amount as may be advanced by the Payee under the Loan Agreement as
a Term Loan with daily interest from the date thereof, computed as provided in the Loan Agreement, on the principal amount hereof
from time to time unpaid, at a rate per annum on each portion of the principal amount which shall at all times be equal to the
rate of interest applicable to such portion in accordance with the Loan Agreement, and with interest on overdue principal and,
to the extent permitted by applicable law, on overdue installments of interest and late charges at the rates provided in the Loan
Agreement. Interest shall be payable on the dates specified in the Loan Agreement, except that all accrued interest shall be paid
at the stated or accelerated maturity hereof or upon the prepayment in full hereof. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement.


 


Payments hereunder
shall be made to the Agent for the Payee at 127 Public Square, Cleveland, Ohio 44114-1306, or at such other address as Agent may
designate from time to time.

Notwithstanding anything
in this Note to the contrary, all agreements between the undersigned Maker and the Lenders and the Agent, whether now existing
or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of acceleration
of the maturity of any of the Obligations or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received by the Lenders exceed
the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable
to the Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to the Lenders shall be reduced to the maximum amount
permitted under applicable law; and if from any circumstance the Lenders shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by
applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction
of the principal balance of the Obligations of the undersigned Maker and to the payment of interest or, if such excessive interest
exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Obligations of the undersigned Maker, such excess shall be refunded to the undersigned
Maker. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated,
allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal of the Obligations of the undersigned Maker
(including the period of any renewal or extension thereof) so that the interest thereon for such full period shall not exceed the
maximum amount permitted by applicable law. This paragraph shall control all agreements between the undersigned Maker and the Lenders
and the Agent.
