other commercially available source providing quotations of BBA LIBOR as designated by Agent from time to time) at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the day that is two (2) London Business Days preceding the first day of such Interest
Period; provided, however, (i) if more than one BBA LIBOR is specified, the applicable rate shall be the arithmetic mean of all such rates or (ii) if, for any reason, such rate is not published by Bloomberg (or such other source designated
by Agent as set forth above), the rate for such Interest Period will be determined by Agent to be the average rate per annum at which deposits in U.S. dollars are offered for a period with a maturity equal to one month by major banks in London,
selected by Agent, at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the day that is two (2) London Business Days prior to the first day of such Interest Period.

Note (excluding the amount being prepaid) and (b) for each Lender holding a Note with an outstanding principal balance of more than $20,000,000 at the time of such prepayment (excluding the amount being prepaid), 1.00% (100 basis points)
multiplied by the outstanding principal balance of such Lender’s Note (excluding the amount being prepaid). 
 Third
Amendment. That certain Third Amendment to Credit Agreement and Other Loan Documents dated as of July 29, 2011, by and among Borrower, Guarantor, Agent and the Lenders. 

(e) §3.3(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is inserted in place thereof: 

 

	 	(a)	 Borrower may not voluntarily prepay the Notes in whole or in part at any time prior to the expiration of the Lock-Out Period, nor shall the Lenders be
obligated to accept any such prepayment tendered by Borrower. After the expiration of the Lock-Out Period and prior to November 30, 2012, Borrower shall have the right, at its election, to




  
 2 









	 	
prepay the outstanding amount of the Loans, as a whole or in part, provided that, except with respect to any amount prepaid solely from the application of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation
Proceeds pursuant to §7.7, any such amount prepaid shall be accompanied by the Exit Fees which shall be paid by Borrower to Agent for the account of the Lenders. From and after November 30, 2012, Borrower shall have the right, at its
election, to prepay the outstanding amount of the Loans, as a whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium (including the Exit Fees). In connection with any prepayment of the Loan permitted hereunder (but not including any payments as a
result of the application of casualty and condemnation proceeds so long as no Event of Default exists), Borrower shall pay Agent for the account of the Lenders any sums that may be due under §4.8. 


(f) The following is hereby inserted as §3.7 of the Credit Agreement: 

§3.7 Payment Following Acceleration or Event of Default. If concurrently with or after an Event of Default under the Loan
Documents first occurring prior to November 30, 2012, or if concurrently with or after any acceleration of the Loans pursuant to the terms of §3.2(b) of the Loan Agreement as a result of an event first occurring prior to November 30,
2012 that permits, requires or gives rise to such acceleration, payment of all or any part of the outstanding amount of the Loans is tendered by Borrower, a purchaser at foreclosure or any other Person, (a) such tender shall be deemed an
attempt to circumvent the prohibition against, and restrictions on, prepayment set forth in the first and second sentences of §3.3(a) of the Loan Agreement and (b) Borrower, such purchaser at foreclosure or such other Person shall pay, in
addition to such repayment of the outstanding amount of the Loans and all other amounts due under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any amounts due under §4.8 of the Loan Agreement), the Exit Fees to Agent for the account of
the Lenders. 
 (g) Notwithstanding the provisions of §7.13 of the Credit Agreement, from and after the date of the Third
Amendment, Agent’s consent shall not be required for Borrower to enter into any proposed new Lease solely for the lease of space at ACC6 provided that the following conditions are met: (1) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, (2) the new Lease must be entered into in the ordinary course of business on an arms-length basis with third parties unaffiliated with Borrower for occupancy by such third parties, (3) the proposed new Lease must not affect,
cover or relate in any way to any space at ACC5 or amend, cancel, terminate or modify in any way any existing or future Lease at ACC5, (4) the Lease will be subordinate to the Mortgage and the tenant will attorn to Agent and its successor in
interest as landlord pursuant to the terms of a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement, (5) the Lease will not contain any terms which would materially and adversely affect Agent’s and/or any Lender’s rights under the
Loan Documents or interest in the Collateral, and (6) the tenant under such new Lease shall not be a tenant under any Lease (or an affiliate of any tenant under any Lease) with respect to any portion of ACC5; provided, however, if the tenant
under the proposed new Lease at ACC6 is a tenant under any Lease (or an affiliate of a tenant under any Lease) with respect to any portion of ACC5, so long as such Lease(s) for ACC5 remain in full force and effect and unmodified in all respects,
this clause (6) shall be deemed satisfied. Borrower shall promptly furnish Agent with a 

  
 3 








 
copy of any such Lease of space at ACC6 that is entered into in accordance with this subsection (g) together with such other documents and information as Agent reasonably requests from time
to time. The parties acknowledge and agree that nothing in this subsection (g) shall (or is intended, or shall be construed, to) modify the terms, conditions, provisions and restrictions of §7.13 of the Credit Agreement with respect to any
existing or future Lease relating to any portion of ACC5, which terms, conditions, provision and restrictions remain in full force and effect and unmodified in all respects. 
 3. References to Credit Agreement. All references in the Loan Documents to the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, shall be deemed a reference to the Credit Agreement or such other Loan
Document, as modified and amended herein. 
 4. Acknowledgment of Borrower and Guarantor. Borrower and Guarantor hereby
acknowledge, represent and agree that the Loan Documents, as modified and amended herein, remain in full force and effect and constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of Borrower and Guarantor, as applicable, enforceable against Borrower

satisfaction of Borrower’s or Guarantor’s obligations under the Loan Documents. Borrower and Guarantor acknowledge that Agent and the Lenders have made no agreement, and are in no way obligated, to grant any future forbearance, extension,
waiver, indulgence, amendment or consent, and this Amendment shall not be deemed to create a course of dealing with or otherwise create any express or implied duty by Agent or any of the Lenders to provide any future forbearance, extension, waiver,
amendment, indulgence or consent. 
 5. Representations and Warranties. Borrower and Guarantor represent and warrant to
Agent and the Lenders as follows:

articles of incorporation or other charter documents or bylaws of, or any mortgage, indenture, agreement, contract or other instrument binding upon, Borrower or Guarantor or any of their respective properties or to which Borrower or Guarantor is
subject, and (v) do not and will not result in or require the imposition of any lien or other encumbrance on any of the properties, assets or rights of Borrower or Guarantor, other than the liens and encumbrances created by the Loan Documents.

 (b) Enforceability. The execution and delivery of this Amendment are valid and legally binding obligations of Borrower
and Guarantor enforceable in accordance with the respective terms and provisions hereof, except as enforceability is limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of
creditors’ rights and the effect of general principles of equity. 

  
 4

officers, agents or employees of Agent or any Lender, and each of Borrower and Guarantor does hereby expressly waive, release and relinquish any and all such defenses, setoffs, claims, counterclaims and causes of action, if any. 

8. Ratification. Except as hereinabove set forth, all terms, covenants and provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents remain unaltered and in full force and effect, and the parties hereto do hereby expressly ratify and confirm the Loan Documents as modified and amended herein. Nothing in this Amendment or any other document delivered in connection
