made on the next succeeding Business Day). Subject to Sections 3.2 and 3.3., the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) debit the amount of any such payment which is not made by such time from any special or general deposit account of
Borrower with the Agent, other than accounts as to which the Agent has expressly waived offset rights in writing. The Borrower shall, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement or any Note, specify to the Agent the amounts payable by
the Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied. Each payment received by the Agent for the account of a Lender under this Agreement or any Note shall be paid to such Lender at the applicable Lending Office of such Lender no later than
one (1) Business Day after receipt. If the Agent fails to pay such amount to a Lender as provided in the previous sentence, the Agent shall pay interest on such amount until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to
time in effect. If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall be payable
for the period of such extension. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the
Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court. 
 Section 3.2 Pro Rata Treatment. 
 Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each
borrowing from the Lenders under Section 2.1(a) shall be made from the Lenders pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments; (ii) each payment or prepayment of principal of the Term Loan by the Borrower shall be made

outstanding principal amount 

  

 31 








 
of the Term Loan shall not be held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments in effect at the time the Term Loan was made, then
such payment shall be applied to the Term Loan in such manner as shall result, as nearly as is practicable, in the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan being held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments;
(iii) each payment of interest on the Term Loan by the Borrower shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amount of interest on the Term Loan then due and payable to the respective Lenders; and (iv) the
making or Conversion of Loans of a particular Type (other than Conversions provided for by Section 4.6) shall be made pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments.

any other Obligor through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise or through voluntary prepayments directly to a Lender or other payments made by the Borrower to a Lender not in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such payment should be distributed to some or all of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2 or Section 10.3, as applicable, such Lender shall promptly purchase from the other
applicable Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the portion of the Term Loan made by such other Lenders or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders in such amounts, and make such
other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the applicable Lenders shall share the benefit of such payment (net of any reasonable expenses which may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such
benefit) pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2 or Section 10.3. To such end, all the applicable Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded
or must otherwise be restored. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation (or direct interest) in the portion of the Term Loan or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders may exercise all rights of set-off, banker’s
lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of the portion of the Term Loan in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to
exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower. 
 Section 3.4 Several Obligations. 
 No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Term Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to make the Term Loan or to
perform any other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not relieve the obligation of any other Lender to make the Term Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.

the Term Loan, pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2. 
 Section 3.6 Fees. 
 The Borrower agrees to pay the reasonable administrative and other fees of the Agent as may be agreed to in writing from time to time.

case of Base Rate Loans) and the actual number of days elapsed. 
 Section 3.8 Usury. 
 In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable on the Term Loan or other Obligations exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable
Law and, if any such payment is paid by the Borrower or received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless the Borrower shall notify the respective Lender in writing that the Borrower elects to have such
excess sum returned to it forthwith. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Borrower not pay and the Lenders not receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by the
Borrower under Applicable Law.

the Agent or any such Lender for underwriting or administrative services and costs or losses performed or incurred, and to be performed or incurred, by the Agent and the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and shall under no circumstances be
deemed to be charges for the use of money. The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Lenders have imposed no minimum borrowing requirements, reserve or escrow balances or compensating balances related in any way to the Obligations. Any
use by the Borrower of certificates of deposit issued by any Lender or other accounts maintained with any Lender has been and shall be voluntary on the part of the Borrower. All charges other than charges for the use of money shall be fully earned
and nonrefundable when due. 
 Section 3.10 Statements of Account. 
 The Agent will account to the Borrower monthly with a statement of Loans, accrued interest and Fees, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, and such account rendered by the Agent shall be deemed conclusive upon the Borrower absent manifest error. The failure of the Agent to deliver such a statement of accounts shall not relieve or discharge the Borrower
from any of its obligations hereunder. 
 Section 3.11 Defaulting Lenders. 
 (a) Generally. If for any reason any Lender (a “Defaulting Lender”) shall fail or refuse to perform any of its obligations under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party within the time period specified for performance of such obligation or, if no time period is specified, if such failure or refusal continues for a period of two (2) Business Days after
notice from the Agent, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the Agent or the Borrower under this Agreement or Applicable Law, 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 all of the Lenders or the
Requisite 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 

  

 34 








 
any related interest. Any amounts received by the Agent in respect of a Defaulting Lender’s Loans shall not be paid to such Defaulting Lender and shall
be held uninvested by the Agent and either applied against the purchase price of such Loans under Section 3.11(b) or paid to such Defaulting Lender upon the Defaulting Lender’s curing of its default. Subject to the terms of this Agreement
(including, without limitation, Section 12.15), the Borrower does not waive any claim that it may have against a Defaulting Lender. 
 (b) Purchase or Cancellation of Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. Any Lender who is not a Defaulting Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion, to acquire all of a
Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. 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 may, by giving written notice thereof to the Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, either (i) demand that such Defaulting Lender assign
its Commitment to an Eligible Assignee approved by Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.5(d) for the purchase price provided for below within five
(5) Business Days of such demand or (ii) terminate the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, whereupon such Defaulting Lender shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights or obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan
Documents (except as expressly provided in this Section 3.11(b)). 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, the
Defaulting Lender’s interest in the Term Loan 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 and, notwithstanding Section 12.5(d), shall pay to the Agent an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500. The purchase price for the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender shall be equal to the amount of the principal balance
of the Term Loan outstanding and owed by the Borrower to the Defaulting Lender. 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 the
penultimate sentence of Section 3.11(a). The Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive amounts owed to it by the Borrower under the Loan Documents which accrued prior to the date of the default by the Defaulting Lender, to the extent the
same are received by the Agent from or on behalf of the Borrower. There shall be no recourse against any Lender or the Agent for the payment of such sums except to the extent of the receipt of payments from any other party or in respect of the Term
Loan. 
 Section 3.12 Taxes. 
 (a) Taxes Generally. All payments by the Borrower of principal of, and interest on, the Term Loan and all other Obligations shall be made free and clear of and without deduction 

  

 35 








 
for any present or future excise, stamp or other taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts, charges, deductions, withholdings or other charges of any nature
whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding (i) franchise taxes, and (ii) any taxes imposed on or measured by any Lender’s assets, net income, receipts or branch profits (such non-excluded items being collectively called
“Taxes”). If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any Applicable Law, then the Borrower will: 
 (i) pay directly to the relevant Governmental Authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted; 
 (ii) promptly forward to the Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Agent evidencing such payment to such Governmental
Authority; and 
 (iii) pay to the Agent for its account or the account of the applicable Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount
or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Agent or such Lender will equal the full amount that the Agent or such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required. 
 (b) Tax Indemnification. If the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority or fails to remit to the Agent,
for its account or the account of the respective Lender, as the case may be, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Agent and the Lenders for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that
may become payable by the Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. For purposes of this Section, a distribution hereunder by the Agent or any Lender to or for the account of any Lender shall be deemed a payment by the Borrower.

 (c) Tax Forms. Prior to the date that any Lender or participant organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United
States of America becomes a party hereto, such Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (but only so long as such Lender or participant is or remains lawfully able to do so) such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by
the Internal Revenue Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto (including Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI and W-8BEN, as applicable, or appropriate successor forms), properly completed, currently effective and duly executed by
such Lender or participant indicating whether payments to it hereunder and under the Notes are (i) not subject to United States Federal backup withholding tax or (ii) not subject to United States Federal withholding tax under the Internal
Revenue Code because such payment is either effectively connected with the conduct by such Lender or participant of a trade or business in the United States or totally exempt from United States Federal withholding tax by reason of the application of
the provisions of a treaty to which the United States is a party or such Lender is otherwise wholly exempt; provided that nothing herein (including, without limitation, the failure or inability to provide any of such certificates, documents
or other evidence) shall relieve the Borrower of its obligations under this Section 3.12. In addition, any such Lender or participant shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (but only so long as such Lender or participant is or remains
lawfully able to do so) further copies of any such certificate, document or other evidence on or before the date that any such certificate, document or other evidence expires or becomes obsolete. 
  

 36 








 ARTICLE IV. YIELD PROTECTION, ETC. 
 Section 4.1 Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy. 
 (a) Additional Costs. The Borrower shall promptly pay to the Agent for the account of a Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs
incurred by such Lender that it reasonably determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make any LIBOR Loans hereunder, any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender of capital in respect of its Loans or its Commitment (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein
called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any Regulatory Change that: (i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such Loans or
its Commitment (other than taxes which are excluded from the definition of Taxes pursuant to the first sentence of Section 3.12(a)); or (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (other than Regulation D
of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other reserve requirement to the extent utilized in the determination of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Loan) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits
with or other liabilities of, such Lender, or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitments of such Lender hereunder); or (iii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such
Lender to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy). 
 (b) Lender’s Suspension of LIBOR Loans. Without limiting the effect of the provisions of Section 4.1(a), if, by reason of any Regulatory
Change, any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by reference to which the
interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes LIBOR Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of
liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make or Convert any other Type of Loans into LIBOR Loans hereunder shall be suspended until
such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 4.6 shall apply). 
 (c) Intentionally
Omitted. 
 (d) Notification and Determination of Additional Costs. Each of the Agent and each Lender agrees to notify the
Borrower of any event occurring after the Agreement Date entitling the Agent or such Lender to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable; provided, however, the failure of the Agent
or any Lender to give such notice shall not release the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, the Agent or a Lender, as the case may be, shall
not be entitled to compensation for any such amount relating to any period 

  

 37 








 
ending more than twelve (12) months prior to the date that the Agent or such Lender, as applicable, first notifies the Borrower in writing thereof. The
Agent and or such Lender agrees to furnish to the Borrower a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request by the Agent or such Lender for compensation under this Section. Absent manifest error, determinations by the Agent or any
Lender of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith. 
 Section 4.2 Suspension of LIBOR Loans. 
 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on
or prior to the determination of any Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for any day on which a LIBOR Loan is outstanding: 
 (a) the Agent reasonably
determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such day, or 
 (b) the Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate as determined by the Agent will not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining LIBOR Loans for such day; 
 then the Agent shall give the Borrower and each
Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to, and shall not, make additional LIBOR Loans or Convert Loans into LIBOR Loans (in which case the provisions of
Section 4.6 shall be applicable) and all LIBOR Loans shall be Converted into Base Rate Loans. 
 Section 4.3 Illegality. 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if it becomes unlawful for any Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain
LIBOR Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof (with a copy to the Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or Convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such time as such
Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 4.6 shall be applicable). 
 Section 4.4
Intentionally Omitted. 
 Section 4.5 Affected Lenders. 
 If (a) a Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 3.12 or 4.1, and the Requisite Lenders are not also doing the same, or (b) the
obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to Convert Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 4.1(b) or 4.3 but the obligation of the Requisite Lenders shall not have been suspended under such Sections,
then, so long as there does not then exist any Default or Event of Default, the Borrower, within thirty (30) days of such request for compensation or suspension, as applicable, may either (i) demand that such Lender (the “Affected
Lender”), and upon such demand the Affected Lender shall promptly, assign its Commitments to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.5(d) for a purchase price equal to the aggregate principal
balance of the Term Loan then owing to the Affected Lender plus any accrued but 

  

 38 








 
unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Affected Lender, or (ii) pay to the Affected Lender the aggregate principal balance of
Loans then owing to the Affected Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Affected Lender, whereupon the Affected Lender shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights or obligations
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents. Each of the Agent and the Affected Lender shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Affected Lender under this Section, but at no time shall the Agent, such Affected Lender
nor any other Lender be obligated in any way whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and
expense and at no cost or expense to the Agent, the Affected Lender or any of the other Lenders. The terms of this Section shall not in any way limit the Borrower’s obligation to pay to any Affected Lender compensation owing to such Affected
Lender pursuant to Section 3.12, 4.1 or 4.4. 
 Section 4.6 Treatment of Affected Loans. 
 If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to Convert Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 4.1(b), 4.2
or 4.3, then such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans, and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 4.1 or 4.3 that gave rise to such
Conversion no longer exist: 
 (a) to the extent that such Lender’s LIBOR Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of
principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and 
 (b) all
Loans that would otherwise be made by such Lender as LIBOR Loans shall be made and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into LIBOR Loans shall remain instead as Base Rate Loans. 
 If such Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 4.1 or 4.3 that gave rise to the Conversion of
such Lender’s LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, then such Lender’s
Loans that are Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the next succeeding day, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding LIBOR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to
principal amounts and Types) in accordance with their respective Commitments. 
 Section 4.7 Change of Lending Office.

 Each Lender agrees that it will use reasonable efforts to designate an alternate Lending Office with respect to any of its Loans
affected by the matters or circumstances described in Sections 3.12, 4.1 or 4.3 to reduce the liability of the Borrower or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender as determined by
such Lender in its sole discretion, except that such Lender shall have no obligation to designate a Lending Office located in the United States of America. 
  

 39 








 Section 4.8 Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Loans. 
 Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Article IV shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded LIBOR Loans through the
purchase of deposits in the relevant market bearing interest at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loans in an amount equal to the amount of the LIBOR Loans and having a one month term; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each
of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be used only for calculation of amounts payable under this Article IV.

 ARTICLE VI. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 
 Section 6.1 Representations and Warranties. 
 In order to induce the Agent and each Lender to enter into this Agreement and to make the Term Loan, the Borrower represents and warrants to the Agent and each Lender as follows: 
  

 42 








 (a) Organization; Power; Qualification. Each of the Borrower, the other Obligors and their
respective Subsidiaries is a corporation, partnership or other legal entity, duly organized or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation, has the power and authority to own or lease its
respective properties and to carry on its respective business as now being and hereafter proposed to be conducted and is duly qualified and is in good standing as a foreign corporation, partnership or other legal entity, and authorized to do
business, in each jurisdiction in which the character of its properties or the nature of its business requires such qualification or authorization and where the failure to be so qualified or authorized could reasonably be expected to have, in each
instance, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (b) Ownership Structure. As of the Agreement Date Part I of Schedule 6.1(b) is a
complete and correct list or diagram of all Subsidiaries of the Borrower and the other Obligors setting forth for each such Subsidiary (i) the jurisdiction of organization of such Subsidiary, (ii) each Obligor which holds any Equity
Interests in such Subsidiary, (iii) the nature of the Equity Interests held by each such Person, (iv) the percentage of ownership of such Subsidiary represented by such Equity Interests and (v) whether such Subsidiary is a Material
Subsidiary and/or an Excluded Subsidiary. Except as disclosed in such Schedule, as of the Agreement Date (i) each Obligor and its Subsidiaries owns, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens) and Negative Pledges (except as
permitted by Section 9.5), and has the unencumbered right to vote, all outstanding Equity Interests in each Person shown to be held by it on such Schedule, (ii) all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of each such Person organized
as a corporation is validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and (iii) other than options with respect to the stock of the REIT Guarantor granted to outside directors of the REIT Guarantor in the ordinary course of business, there are no
outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, commitments, preemptive rights or agreements of any kind (including, without limitation, any stockholders’ or voting trust agreements) for the issuance, sale, registration or voting of, or
outstanding securities convertible into, any additional shares of capital stock of any class, or partnership or other ownership interests of any type in, any such Person. As of the Agreement Date, Part II of Schedule 6.1(b)
correctly sets forth or diagrams all Unconsolidated Affiliates of the Borrower, including the correct legal name of such Person, the type of legal entity which each such Person is, and all Equity Interests in such Person held directly or indirectly
by the Borrower. 
 (c) Authorization of Agreement, Etc. The Borrower has the right and power, and has taken all necessary action to
authorize it, to borrow and obtain other extensions of credit hereunder. The Borrower and each other Obligor has the right and power, and has taken all necessary action to authorize it, to execute, deliver and perform each of the Loan Documents to
which it is a party in accordance with their respective terms and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The Loan Documents to which the Borrower or any other Obligor is a party have been duly executed and delivered by the
duly authorized officers or other representatives of such Person and each is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person enforceable against such Person in accordance with its respective terms except as the same may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, and other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and the availability of equitable remedies for the enforcement of certain obligations (other than the payment of principal) contained herein or therein may be
limited by equitable principles generally. 
  

 43 








 (d) Compliance of Loan Documents with Laws, Etc. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents to which the Borrower or any other Obligor is a party in accordance with their respective terms and the borrowings and other extensions of credit hereunder do not and will not, by the passage of
time, the giving of notice, or both: (i) require any Governmental Approval or violate any Applicable Law (including all Environmental Laws) relating to the Borrower or any other Obligor; (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of or
constitute a default under the organizational documents of the Borrower or any other Obligor, or any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Borrower or any other Obligor is a party or by which it or any of its respective properties
may be bound; or (iii) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any property now owned or hereafter acquired by the Borrower or any other Obligor. 
 (e) Compliance with Law; Governmental Approvals, Agreements. The Borrower, each other Obligor, and each of their respective Subsidiaries is in
compliance with its Governing Documents, each agreement, judgment, decree or order to which any of them is a party or by which any of them or their properties may be bound, each Governmental Approval applicable to it and in compliance with all other
Applicable Law (including without limitation, Environmental Laws) relating to such Person except for noncompliances which, and Governmental Approvals the failure to possess which, would not, individually or in the aggregate, cause a Default or an
Event of Default or have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (f) Title to Properties; Liens; Title Insurance. As of the Agreement Date, Part
I of Schedule 6.1(f) sets forth all of the real property owned or leased by the Borrower, each other Obligor and each of their respective Subsidiaries. Each such Person has good, marketable and legal title to, or a valid leasehold interest
in, its respective assets. Each of the Borrower, the other Obligors and their respective Subsidiaries have title to their properties sufficient for the conduct of their business. As of the Agreement Date, there are no Liens or Negative Pledges
against any Unencumbered Assets except for Permitted Liens. The Borrower or another Obligor is, with respect to all Unencumbered Assets and other real property reasonably necessary for the operation of its business, the named insured under a policy
of title insurance issued by a title insurer operating in the jurisdiction where such real property is located. As to each such policy of title insurance (i) the coverage amount equals or exceeds the acquisition cost of the related real
property and any improvements added thereto by such Person (ii) no claims are pending that, if adversely determined, have had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (iii) no title insurer has given notice to
the insured Person that such policy of title insurance is no longer in effect. Neither the Borrower, any other Obligor nor any of their respective Subsidiaries has knowledge of any defect in title of any Property that, individually or in the
aggregate, has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

located in an area identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development as an area having special flood hazards, or if any such Property is located in such a special flood hazard 

  

 47 








 
area, then the Borrower has obtained all insurance that is required to be maintained by law or which is customarily maintained by Persons engaged in similar
businesses and owning similar Properties in the same general areas in which the Borrower operates except where such failure individually or in the aggregate has not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

the other Obligors or any of their respective Subsidiaries. 
 (u) Business. The Borrower, the other Obligors and each of their
respective Subsidiaries are engaged substantially in the business of the acquisition, disposition, financing, ownership, development rehabilitation, leasing, operation and management of office and industrial buildings and other business activities

will be payable with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. No other similar fees or commissions will be payable by any Obligor for any other services rendered to the Borrower, any of the Subsidiaries of the Borrower or any other Obligor
or any other Obligor ancillary to the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 (w) Accuracy and Completeness of Information. No written
information, report or other papers or data (excluding financial projections and other forward looking statements) furnished to the Agent or any Lender by, on behalf of, or at the direction of, the Borrower, any other Obligor or any of their
respective Subsidiaries in connection with or relating in any way to this Agreement, contained any untrue statement of a fact material to the creditworthiness of the Borrower, any other Obligor or any of their respective Subsidiaries or omitted to
state a material fact necessary in order to make such statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The written information, reports and other papers and data with respect to the Borrower,
any other Obligor or any of their respective Subsidiaries or the Unencumbered Assets (other than projections and other forward-looking statements) furnished to the Agent or the Lenders in connection with or relating in any way to this Agreement was,
at the time so furnished, complete and correct in all material respects, or has been subsequently supplemented by other written information, reports or other papers or data, to the extent necessary to give in all material respects a true and
accurate knowledge of the subject matter. All financial statements furnished to the Agent or any Lender by, on behalf of, or at the direction of, the Borrower, any other Obligor or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection with or relating
in any way to this Agreement, present fairly, in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved, the financial position of the Persons involved as at the date thereof and the results of operations for such periods. All
financial projections and other forward looking statements prepared by, or on behalf of the Borrower, any other Obligor or any of their respective Subsidiaries that have been or may hereafter be made available to the Agent or any Lender were or will
be prepared in good faith based on reasonable assumptions. No fact or circumstance is known to the Borrower which has had, or may in the future have (so far as the Borrower can reasonably foresee), a Material Adverse Effect which has not been set
forth in the financial statements referred to in Section 6.1(k) or in such information, reports or other papers or data or otherwise disclosed in writing to the Agent and the Lenders prior to the Effective Date. 
 (x) REIT Status. The REIT Guarantor qualifies, and has since the year ending December 31, 2003 qualified, as a REIT, has elected to be
treated as a REIT, and is in compliance with all requirements and conditions imposed under the Internal Revenue Code to allow the REIT Guarantor to maintain its status as a REIT. 
 (y) Unencumbered Assets. As of the Agreement Date, Schedule 6.1(y) is a correct and complete list of all Unencumbered Assets. Each of
the Unencumbered Assets included by the Borrower in calculations of the Unencumbered Asset Value satisfies all of the requirements contained in this Agreement for the same to be included therein. 
 (z) Insurance. The Borrower, the other Obligors and their respective Subsidiaries have insurance covering the Borrower, the other Obligors and
their respective Subsidiaries and their respective Properties in such amounts and against such risks and casualties as are customary 

  

 49 








 
for Persons or Properties of similar character and location, due regard being given to the type of improvements thereon, their construction, location, use
and occupancy. As of the Agreement Date, none of the Borrower, any other Obligor or any of their respective Subsidiaries has received notice that any such insurance has been cancelled, not renewed, or impaired in any way. 
 (aa) Ownership of Borrower. The REIT Guarantor is the sole general partner of the Borrower and owns free of any Lien or other claim not less than
a seventy-five percent (75%) Equity Interest in the Borrower as the general partner thereof. 
 (bb) No Bankruptcy Filing. None
of the Borrower, any Obligor or any of their respective Subsidiaries is contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of its assets or property, and the Borrower has
no knowledge of any Person threatening the filing of any such petition against any of the Borrower, any Obligor or any of their respective Subsidiaries. 
 (cc) No Fraudulent Intent. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents nor the performance of any actions required hereunder or thereunder is being undertaken by the
Borrower or any other Obligor with or as a result of any actual intent by any of such Persons to hinder, delay or defraud any entity to which any of such Persons is now or will hereafter become indebted. 
 (dd) Transaction in Best Interests of Borrower and Obligors; Consideration. The transaction evidenced by this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents is in the best interests of the Borrower and the other Obligors and the creditors of such Persons. The direct and indirect benefits to inure to the Borrower and the other Obligors pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
constitute materially more than “reasonably equivalent value” (as such term is used in §548 of the Bankruptcy Code) and “valuable consideration,” “fair value,” and “fair consideration” (as such terms are
used in any applicable state fraudulent conveyance law), in exchange for the benefits to be provided by the Borrower and the other Obligors pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and but for the willingness of each Guarantor to
guaranty the Obligations, the Borrower would be unable to obtain the financing contemplated hereunder which financing will enable the Borrower and the other Obligors to have available financing to conduct and expand their business. The Borrower and
the other Obligors constitute a single integrated financial enterprise and each receives a benefit from the availability of credit under this Agreement to the Borrower. 
 (ee) Property. All of the Borrower’s, the other Obligors’ and their respective Subsidiaries’ properties are in good repair and condition, subject to ordinary wear and tear, other than with
respect to deferred maintenance existing as of the date of acquisition of such property as permitted in this Section. The Borrower has completed or caused to be completed an appropriate investigation of the environmental condition of each Property
as of the later of the date of the Borrower’s, the Obligors’ or the applicable Subsidiary’s purchase thereof or the date upon which such property was last security for Indebtedness of such Persons, including preparation of a
“Phase I” report and, if appropriate, a “Phase II” report, in each case prepared by a recognized environmental engineer in accordance with customary standards which discloses that such property is not in violation of the
representations and covenants set forth in this Agreement, unless such violation has been disclosed in writing to the Agent and remediation 

  

 50 








 
actions satisfactory to Agent are being taken. There are no unpaid or outstanding real estate or other taxes or assessments on or against any property of the
Borrower, the other Obligors or their respective Subsidiaries which are delinquent. Except as set forth in Schedule 6.1(ee) hereto, there are no pending eminent domain proceedings against any property of the Borrower, the other Obligors or
their respective Subsidiaries or any part thereof, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, no such proceedings are presently threatened or contemplated by any taking authority which, in all such events, individually or in the aggregate have had or
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. None of the property of the Borrower, the other Obligors or their respective Subsidiaries is now damaged or injured as a result of any fire, explosion, accident, flood or other casualty
in any manner which individually or in the aggregate has had or could reasonably be expected to have any Material Adverse Effect. 
 (ff)
No Event of Default. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 
 (gg) Subordination. None of the Borrower
or any other Obligor is a party to or bound by any agreement, instrument or indenture that may require the subordination in right or time of payment of any of the Obligations to any other indebtedness or obligation of any of such Persons.

 (C) a person or entity with whom any Lender is prohibited from dealing or otherwise engaging in any transaction by any Anti-Terrorism Law; 
 (D) a person or entity who commits, threatens or conspires to commit or supports “terrorism” as defined in the Executive Order; or 
 (E) a person or entity that is named as a “specially designated national and blocked person” on the most current list published by the U.S.

confirming the Borrower’s and the other Obligors’ compliance herewith).

 All statements contained in any certificate, financial statement or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of the
Borrower, any other Obligor or any of their respective Subsidiaries to the Agent or any Lender pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (including, but not limited to, any such statement made in or in
connection with any amendment thereto or any statement contained in any certificate, financial statement or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower prior to the Agreement Date and delivered to the Agent or any Lender in connection

that any administrative or judicial complaint or order has been filed or is about to be filed against the Borrower, or any other Obligor or any of their respective Subsidiaries alleging material violations of any Environmental Law or requiring the

Borrower, any other Obligor or any of their respective Subsidiaries may be liable or responsible for costs associated with a response to or cleanup of a release of Hazardous Materials or any damages caused thereby individually or in the aggregate in
excess of $10,000,000, the Borrower shall provide the Agent and each Lender with a copy of such notice within thirty (30) days after the receipt thereof by such Person. The Borrower shall, and shall cause the other Obligors and each Subsidiary
of the Borrower or any other Obligor to, take or cause to be taken promptly all actions necessary to prevent the imposition of any Liens on any of their respective properties arising out of or related to any Environmental Laws; provided,
however, that if any such Lien arises due to the acts or omissions of third parties and such Lien (x) together with all other such Liens then in existence, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (y) does
not relate to any Unencumbered Asset, or (z) has not resulted in foreclosure proceedings with respect to the property in question, the Borrower may pursue claims against such third parties prior to removing such Lien. 
 Section 7.10 Books and Records.

Effective Date, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent each of the following items, each in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent: (i) a Joinder Agreement executed by such Material Subsidiary and (ii) the items that would have been
delivered under Sections 5.1(a)(iv) through (viii) if such Material Subsidiary had been one on the Effective Date. Additionally, in the event that any Subsidiary of the Borrower or the REIT Guarantor, whether presently existing or
hereafter formed or acquired, which is not a Guarantor at such time, shall after the date hereof become a guarantor under any existing or future Unsecured Debt of the Borrower or any other Obligor, then the Borrower shall cause such Subsidiary to
execute and deliver the items described in this Section 7.12(a). 
 (b) Release of a Guarantor. The Borrower may request in

Section 7.12; (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall then be in existence or would occur as a result of such release, including without limitation, a Default or Event of Default resulting from a violation of any of the covenants
contained in this Section 7.12; (iii) the Agent shall have received such written request at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the requested date of release and (iv) Borrower shall deliver to the Agent evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Agent either that (A) the Guarantor has ceased to qualify as a Material Subsidiary or (B) the Guarantor qualifies as an Excluded Subsidiary. Delivery by the Borrower to the Agent of any such request for a release shall
constitute a representation by the Borrower that the matters set forth in the preceding sentence (both as of the date of the giving of such request and as of the date of the effectiveness of such request) are true and correct with respect to such
request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the foregoing provisions shall not apply to the REIT Guarantor, which may only be released upon the written approval of Agent and all of the Lenders. Concurrently with any request by the Borrower to release
any Guarantor from its Guaranty, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a pro forma Compliance Certificate giving effect to the transaction or other event which forms the basis for the release of the Guarantor from the Guaranty and the removal of
the assets of such Guarantor from the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value, as appropriate, which Compliance Certificate shall show continued compliance with each of the covenants contained in Sections 9.1 through 9.3, 9.6 and 9.14.

Subsidiary’s assets and properties; and (f) payments in reduction or extinguishment of Secured Debt of such Subsidiary, including, without limitation, balances due at maturity, or upon the refinancing, of such Secured Debt or upon the sale

 (i) Following the Effective Date, the Borrower may request that one or more new Properties be added as an Unencumbered Asset or that one or more new Properties be substituted for one or more Properties (such newly
added or substituted Property, the “Potential Unencumbered Asset(s)”) then included as an Unencumbered Asset. Any such request shall be made in writing to the Agent (which the Agent shall promptly furnish to the Lenders) and shall 

  

 61 








 
include the following items (it being understood that the Agent shall have no obligation to verify the truth, accuracy or completeness of any information
contained therein): 
 (A) an Unencumbered Asset Certificate reflecting such addition or substitution, together with a statement of:
(x) the acquisition cost of such Potential Unencumbered Asset(s); and (y) the same information that the Borrower would be required to include in a Compliance Certificate; 
 (B) the Unencumbered Asset Qualification Documents relating to the Potential Unencumbered Asset(s); 
 (C) with respect to any such substitution, a Minimum Unencumbered Asset Certificate demonstrating compliance with the Minimum Unencumbered Asset
Requirements immediately following such substitution; and 
 (D) such additional information and documentation as may be necessary for the
Agent to determine whether the Potential Unencumbered Asset qualifies as an Unencumbered Asset and any additional information the Agent may reasonably request. 
 (ii) Within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt by the Agent of the applicable items referred to in Sections 8.5(a)(i)(A) - (D), the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders as to whether or not the
Agent approves of the addition or substitution of the Potential Unencumbered Asset(s). In the event the Agent does not approve of such addition or substitution as a result of such Potential Unencumbered Asset(s) not satisfying the criteria for
approval, (x) the Agent shall state such reason(s) in such notification and (y) the Requisite Lenders shall have ten (10) Business Days following receipt of such notification from the Agent in which to notify the Agent and the
Borrower as to whether or not they approve or disapprove of such addition or substitution. In the event the Requisite Lenders (A) approve of such addition or substitution, such Potential Unencumbered Asset(s) shall be deemed to be included in
the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value as of the date of such approval or (B) disapprove of such addition or substitution, or fail to notify the Agent and the Borrower of their approval or disapproval of such addition or substitution
within such ten (10) Business Day period, such Potential Unencumbered Asset(s) shall not be included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value. 
 (b) Removals from Unencumbered Assets. 
 (i) Subject to Section 8.5(c), upon any Unencumbered
Asset ceasing to qualify as an Unencumbered Asset, such Unencumbered Asset shall no longer be included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value. Within ten (10) Business Days after any such disqualification, the Borrower shall deliver
to the Agent an Unencumbered Asset Certificate reflecting such disqualification, together with a statement of: (i) the identity of the disqualified Unencumbered Asset, and (ii) the Unencumbered Asset Value attributable to such Unencumbered
Asset. 
 (ii) Subject to Section 8.5(c), the Borrower may voluntarily remove any Property from Unencumbered Assets (including as a
result of any financing, sale, transfer or 

  

 62 








 
other disposition of any Unencumbered Asset in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents) by delivering to the Agent, no later than ten
(10) Business Days prior to the date on which such removal is to be effected (or, in the event such removal shall result from the financing, sale, transfer or other disposition of an Unencumbered Asset, ten (10) Business Days prior to such
proposed sale, transfer or disposition), an Unencumbered Asset Certificate reflecting such removal, together with a statement (x) that no Default or Event of Default then exists or would, upon the occurrence of such event or with the passage of
time, result from such removal, (y) of the identity of the Unencumbered Asset being removed, and (z) of the Unencumbered Asset Value attributable to such Unencumbered Asset. 
 (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that a Property (a “Defaulted Property”) included in the
calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value fails to satisfy the requirements set forth in clause (e) of the definition of “Unencumbered Asset” as a result of conditions existing or effecting such Property for any period of time prior
to the acquisition thereof by the Borrower, any other Obligor or any of their respective Subsidiaries of which the Borrower had no knowledge or the Borrower or the Agent determines that the information contained in the operating statements and rent
roll relating to such Property for any period of time prior to the acquisition thereof by the Borrower, any other Obligor or any of their respective Subsidiaries and previously delivered to the Agent as an Unencumbered Asset Qualification Document
was not true, complete and correct at the time of such delivery and the Borrower had no knowledge of the same (any such failure or determination a “Replacement Event”), then, if such Replacement Event results in a Default, the Borrower
shall have thirty (30) days from the earlier of the (x) date the Agent notifies the Borrower that a Replacement Event has occurred or (y) date the Borrower notifies the Agent that a Replacement Event has occurred in which to identify
one or more Potential Unencumbered Asset(s) to cure such Default by replacing the Defaulted Property as an Unencumbered Asset and delivering to the Agent those items specified in Sections 8.5(a)(i)(A) - (D) with respect thereto and otherwise satisfy
all conditions to such Property being accepted as an Unencumbered Asset pursuant to this Agreement (the “Replacement Conditions”). 
 For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Borrower fails to comply with the Replacement Conditions within the time periods set forth above or the Requisite Lenders disapprove of the replacement of the Defaulted Property with the
Potential Unencumbered Asset(s) following a Replacement Event, the right of the Borrower to cure such Default as provided in Section 8.5(b)(iii)(C) shall cease, and thereupon the Agent and the Lenders shall have any and all rights and remedies
with respect to such Replacement Event as may be available under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 (iv) Simultaneously with the
delivery of the items required pursuant to Sections 8.5(b)(i), (ii) and (iii), the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent (A) a pro forma Compliance Certificate demonstrating, upon giving effect to such removal, replacement or
disqualification, on a pro forma basis, compliance with the covenants contained in Sections 9.1 through 9.3, 9.6 and 9.14 and (B) a Minimum Unencumbered Asset Certificate. 
 (c) Minimum Unencumbered Assets. Subject to this Section 8.5, the Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any other Obligor or any
Subsidiary of the Borrower or any other Obligor to, 
  

 63 








 (i) sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Unencumbered Asset included in the calculation of the
Unencumbered Asset Value; or 
 (ii) remove any Unencumbered Asset from the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value (whether as a result
of such Property failing to satisfy the requirements set forth in the definition thereof or otherwise); or 
 (iii) substitute any Potential
Unencumbered Asset(s) for any existing Unencumbered Asset or Assets; 
 unless, immediately following such sale, transfer, disposition, removal or
substitution (x) there shall be at least eight (8) Unencumbered Assets included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value and (y) the Unencumbered Asset Value would be at least $450,000,000 (the “Minimum Unencumbered
Asset Requirements”). Simultaneously with any such proposed sale, transfer, disposition, removal or substitution, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a certificate (a “Minimum Unencumbered Asset Certificate”) of a Responsible
Officer of the REIT Guarantor demonstrating compliance with the Minimum Unencumbered Asset Requirements. 
 ARTICLE IX. NEGATIVE COVENANTS

existing, created, incurred or assumed so long as (i) immediately prior to the existence, creation, incurring or assumption thereof (other than with respect to any Indebtedness incurred for purposes of prepayment of other Indebtedness as

 (d) amounts due the Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Sections 11.7 and 12.9; 
 (e) payments of all other amounts due and owing by the Borrower under any of the Loan Documents, if any, to be applied for the ratable benefit of the

 (f) any amount remaining after application as provided above, shall be paid to the Borrower or whomever else may be
legally entitled thereto. 
 Section 10.4 Intentionally Omitted. 
 Section 10.5 Performance by Agent. 
 If the Borrower shall fail to perform any covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents, the Agent may perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of the Borrower after the expiration of any
cure or grace periods set forth herein. In such event, the Borrower shall, at the request of the Agent, promptly pay any amount reasonably expended by the Agent in such performance or attempted performance to the Agent, together with interest
thereon at the applicable Post-Default Rate from the date of such expenditure until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability or responsibility whatsoever for the performance of any obligation of
the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
 Section 10.6 Rights Cumulative. 
 The rights and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of
any rights or remedies which any of them may otherwise have under Applicable Law. In exercising their respective rights and remedies the Agent and the Lenders may be selective and no failure or delay by the Agent or any of the Lenders in exercising
any right shall operate as a waiver of it, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude its other or further exercise or the exercise of any other power or right.

 ARTICLE XI. THE AGENT 
 Section 11.1 Authorization and Action. 
 Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated
to the Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of the
Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the
powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. Nothing herein (including the use of the term “Agent”) shall be construed to
deem the Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender nor to impose on the Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein. At the request of a Lender, the Agent will forward to such Lender copies or, where appropriate,
originals of the documents delivered to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The Agent will also furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy of any certificate or notice furnished to the Agent by the
Borrower, any Obligor or any other Affiliate of the Borrower or any Obligor, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document. As to
any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the Obligations), the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required
to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and
such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Agent shall not be required to take any action
which exposes the Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Agent shall not exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under
any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless the Requisite Lenders have so directed the Agent to exercise such right or remedy. The Borrower may rely on written amendments or waivers executed by Agent or acts
taken by Agent as being authorized by the Lenders or the Requisite Lenders, as applicable, to the extent Agent does not advise Borrower that it has not obtained such authorization from the Lenders or the Requisite Lenders, as applicable. 

Section 11.2 Agent’s Reliance, Etc. 
 Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to
be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent: (a) may treat the payee of any Note as the
holder thereof until the Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof signed by 

  

 77 








 
such payee and in form satisfactory to the Agent; (b) may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for the Borrower or any other
Obligor), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (c) makes
no warranty or representation to any Lender or any other Person and shall not be responsible to any Lender or any other Person for any statements, warranties or representations made by any Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other
Loan Document; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions
precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of the Borrower or other Persons or inspect the property, books or records of the Borrower or any other Person; (e) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution,
legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or any collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any
Lien in favor of the Agent on behalf of the Lenders in any such collateral; and (f) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or
writing (which may be by telephone or telecopy) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties. 
 Section 11.3 Notice of Defaults. 
 The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a
Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to
this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also serving as the Agent) becomes aware of any
Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly send to the Agent such a “notice of default.” Further, if the Agent receives such a “notice of default”, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. 
 Section 11.4 Bank of America as Lender. 
 Bank of America, as a Lender, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other Loan Document as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent; and the term “Lender” or
“Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Bank of America in each case in its individual capacity. Bank of America and its affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in,
lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower, any other Obligor or any other affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to
account therefor to the other Lenders. Further, the Agent and any affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the other
Lenders. 
  

 78 








 Section 11.5 Approvals of Lenders. 
 All communications from the Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s determination, consent, approval or disapproval (a) shall be given in
the form of a written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any,
regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by such Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written
materials and a summary of all oral information provided to the Agent by the Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (d) shall include the Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof.
Each Lender shall reply promptly, but in any event within ten (10) Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the Loan Documents) of receipt of such communication. Except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement and except with respect to items requiring the unanimous consent or approval of the Lenders under Section 12.6, unless a Lender shall give written notice to the Agent that it specifically objects to the recommendation or determination
of the Agent (together with a written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within the applicable time period for reply, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination.

 Section 11.6 Lender Credit Decision, Etc. 
 Each Lender expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, attorneys-in-fact or other affiliates has made any representations or warranties as
to the financial condition, operations, creditworthiness, solvency or other information concerning the business or affairs of the Borrower, any other Obligor, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any other Person to such Lender and that no act by
the Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Agent to any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance
upon the Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Agent, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on the financial statements of the Borrower, the other Obligors, and their respective Subsidiaries, or any
other Affiliate thereof, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Borrower, the Obligors, their respective Subsidiaries and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions
required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transaction
contemplated hereby. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on such
review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly
required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business,
operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness 

  

 79 








 
of the Borrower, any other Obligor, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Agent or any of
its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or other Affiliates. Each Lender acknowledges that the Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Agent
and is not acting as counsel to such Lender. 
 Section 11.7 Indemnification of Agent. 
 Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) pro
rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Commitment Percentage, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent (in its capacity as Agent but not as a Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or
any action taken or omitted by the Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent
resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or if the Agent fails to follow the written direction of the Requisite Lenders unless such failure is pursuant to the reasonable advice of counsel of which the Lenders have
received notice. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing but subject to the preceding provision, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to
do so) promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees of the counsel(s) of the Agent’s own choosing) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution,
administration or enforcement of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit or action brought by the Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect any
Obligations, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against the Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Agent and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws. Such out-of-pocket expenses (including
counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Agent that the Agent will reimburse
the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall reimburse the Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant
to this Section, the Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment. 
 Section 11.8 Successor Agent. 
 The Agent may resign at any time as Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written
notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. The Agent may be removed as Agent under the Loan Documents as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Requisite Lenders (other than the Lender then acting as the Agent). Upon any
such resignation or removal, 

  

 80 








 
the Requisite Lenders (other than the Lender then acting as Agent, in the case of the removal of the Agent under the immediately preceding sentence) shall
have the right to appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be a commercial bank having total combined assets of at least $5,000,000,000, which appointment shall, provided no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (except that the Borrower shall, in all events, be deemed to have approved
each Lender (and its affiliates) holding at least ten percent (10%) of the Total Commitments (calculated at the time Agent gives notice of its resignation) as a successor Agent). If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance
with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the resigning Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Lenders’ removal of the resigning Agent, then the resigning
or removed Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be a commercial bank having total combined assets of at least $5,000,000,000. Upon the
acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents as Agent. After any Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article XI and all provisions of this Agreement shall continue to inure to
its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under the Loan Documents. 
 Section 11.9 Titled
Agents. 
 Each of the Titled Agents in each such respective capacity, assumes no responsibility or obligations hereunder, including,
without limitation, for servicing enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, nor any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders. The titles of “Sole Lead Arranger and Book Manager” and “Documentation Agent” are solely
honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Titled Agents to the Agent, the Borrower or any Lender and the use of such titles does not impose on the Titled Agents any duties or obligations greater than those of any other
Lender or entitle the Titled Agents to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is entitled. 
 Section 11.10 Other
Loans by Lenders to Obligors. 
 The Lenders agree that one or more of them may now or hereafter have other loans to one or more of the
Obligors which are not subject to this Agreement. The Lenders agree that the Lender(s) which may have such other loan(s) to the Obligors may collect payments on such loan(s) and may secure such loan(s) (so long as such loan does not itself expressly
violate this Agreement). Further, the Lenders agree that the Lender(s) which may have such other loan(s) to the Obligors shall have no obligation to attempt to collect payments under the Term Loan in preference and priority over the collection
and/or enforcement of such other loan(s).

paid by it pursuant to this Section, the Agent and/or the Lenders may pay such amounts on behalf of the Borrower and either deem the same to be a part of the Term Loan outstanding hereunder or otherwise Obligations owing hereunder. 
  

 83 








 Section 12.3 Setoff. 
 Subject to Section 3.3 and in addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights,
the Agent and each Lender and Participant is hereby authorized by the Borrower, at any time or from time to time during the continuance of an Event of Default, without prior notice to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby
expressly waived, but in the case of a Lender and Participant subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Agent exercised in its sole discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special,
including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Agent, such Lender or Participant or any affiliate of the Agent or such
Lender or Participant, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of any of the Obligations, irrespective of whether or not the Term Loan and all other Obligations have been declared to be, or have otherwise become,
due and payable as permitted by Section 10.2, and although such obligations shall be contingent or unmatured. Promptly following any such set-off the Agent shall notify the Borrower thereof and of the application of such set-off, provided that
the failure to give such notice shall not invalidate such set-off. The foregoing shall not apply to any account governed by a written agreement containing express waivers by the Agent or any Lender with respect to rights of setoff. 
 Section 12.4 Litigation; Jurisdiction; Other Matters; Waivers. 
 (a) EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN
DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES. ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE AGENT AND THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR
TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES, OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE
AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE. 
 (b) THE BORROWER, THE AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY AGREES THAT THE UNITED STATES
DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA, ATLANTA DIVISION OR, AT THE OPTION OF THE AGENT, ANY STATE COURT LOCATED IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA, SHALL HAVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER,
THE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS, PERTAINING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE TERM LOAN, THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING HEREFROM OR THEREFROM. THE BORROWER AND EACH OF THE LENDERS EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND
CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED IN SUCH COURTS. EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF 

  

 84 








 
ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM
THE SAME. THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER
APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION. 
 (c) THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL
UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE TERM LOAN AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. 
 Section 12.5 Successors and Assigns. 
 (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights
or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all Lenders and any such assignment or other transfer to which all of the Lenders have not so consented shall be null and void. 
 (b) Any Lender may make, carry or transfer the Term Loan at, to or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an affiliate of such
Lender except to the extent such transfer would result in increased costs to the Borrower. 
 (c) Any Lender may at any time grant to one or
more banks or other financial institutions (each a "Participant") participating interests in its Commitment or the Obligations owing to such Lender; provided, however, (i) any such participating interest must be for a constant and
not a varying percentage interest, (ii) no Lender may grant a participating interest in its Commitment, or if any of the Commitment has been terminated, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of Note held by it, in an amount less than
$5,000,000 and (iii) after giving effect to any such participation by a Lender, the amount of its Commitment or if any of the Commitment has been terminated, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of Note held by it, in which it has not
granted any participating interests must be equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. No Participant shall have any rights or benefits under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. In the event of any such grant
by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection
with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the
obligations of the Borrower hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, however, such Lender may agree with the Participant that it
will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (i) increase, or extend the term or extend the time or waive any requirement for the 

  

 85 








 
reduction or termination of, such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on the Term Loan or
portions thereof owing to such Lender, (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal, (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon or (v) release any Guarantor (except as otherwise permitted under
Section 7.12(b)). An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by Section 12.5(d) or (e) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with
this subsection (c). The selling Lender shall notify the Agent and the Borrower of the sale of any participation hereunder and, if requested by the Agent, certify to the Agent that such participation is permitted hereunder. 
 (d) Any Lender may with the prior written consent of the Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Borrower (which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each an "Assignee") all or a portion of its Commitment and its other rights and obligations under this Agreement and the
Notes; provided, however, (i) no such consent by the Borrower or the Agent shall be required in the case of any assignment to another Lender, any affiliate of such Lender or of another Lender; (ii) any partial assignment of a
Commitment shall be in an amount at least equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and after giving effect to such partial assignment the assigning Lender retains a portion of the Commitment so assigned, or if any
of the Commitments have been terminated, holds Notes having an aggregate outstanding principal balance, of at least $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (provided, however, the conditions set forth in this
subsection (ii) shall not apply to any full assignment by any Lender of its Commitment); and (iii) each such assignment shall be effected by means of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement. Upon execution and delivery of such instrument
and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be deemed to be a Lender party to this Agreement as of the effective date of
the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender with a Commitment as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, and the transferor Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder
to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection (d), the transferor Lender, the Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate
arrangements so that new Notes are issued to the Assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate. In connection with any such assignment, the transferor Lender shall pay to the Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the
amount of $3,500. 
 (e) The Agent shall maintain at the Principal Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered to and
accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of each Lender from time to time (the "Register"). The Agent shall give each Lender and the Borrower notice of the assignment by any
Lender of its rights as contemplated by this Section. The Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register and copies of each
Assignment and Acceptance Agreement shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice to the Agent. Upon its receipt of an 

  

 86 








 
Assignment and Acceptance Agreement executed by an assigning Lender, together with each Note subject to such assignment, the Agent shall, if such Assignment
and Acceptance Agreement has been completed and if the Agent receives the processing and recording fee described in Section 12.5(d) above, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (ii) record the information contained
therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower. 
 (f) In addition to the assignments and participations
permitted under the foregoing provisions of this Section, any Lender may assign and pledge all or any portion of its Term Loan and its Note to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A and any Operating Circular issued
by such Federal Reserve Bank, and such Term Loan and Note shall be fully transferable as provided therein. No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder. 
 (g) A Lender may furnish any information concerning the Borrower, any other Obligor or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates in the
possession of such Lender from time to time to Assignees and Participants (including prospective Assignees and Participants) subject to compliance with Section 12.8. 
 (h) Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in the Term Loan held by it hereunder to the Borrower, any other Obligor or any of their respective
Affiliates or Subsidiaries. 
 (i) Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Agent, it will not make
any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, the Term Loan or Note under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States of
America or of any other jurisdiction. 
 Section 12.6 Amendments. 
 Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any consent or approval required or permitted by this Agreement or any other Loan Document to be
given by the Lenders may be given, and any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document may be amended, and the performance or observance by the Borrower or any other Obligor or any of their respective Subsidiaries of any terms of this
Agreement or such other Loan Document or the continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the
Requisite Lenders (and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of the Borrower). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing, and signed by all of the Lenders (or the Agent
at the written direction of the Lenders), do any of the following: (i) increase the Commitments (or any component thereof) of the Lenders or subject the Lenders to any additional obligations; (ii) reduce the principal of, or interest rates
that have accrued or that will be charged on the outstanding principal amount of, the Term Loan or Fees or other Obligations; (iii) reduce the amount of any Fees payable hereunder; (iv) postpone any date fixed for any payment of any
principal of, or interest on, the Term Loan or any other Obligations; (v) change the Commitment Percentages (or any 

  

 87 








 
component thereof) (except as a result of any increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments contemplated by Section 3.11(b) or 4.5) or amend or
otherwise modify the provisions of Section 3.2; (vi) modify the definition of the term "Requisite Lenders", modify in any other manner the number or percentage of the Lenders (including all of the Lenders) required to make any
determinations or waive any rights hereunder or to modify any provision hereof, including without limitation, any modification of this Section if such modification would have such effect; or (vii) release any Guarantor from its obligations
under the Guaranty (except as otherwise permitted under Section 7.12(b)). Further, no amendment, waiver or consent unless in writing and signed by the Agent, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, shall affect the
rights or duties of the Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose set forth therein. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be
prejudicial thereto. Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

 Section 12.7 Nonliability of Agent and Lenders. 
 The relationship between the Borrower and the Lenders and the Agent shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower and no
provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing by the Agent or any Lender to any Lender, the Borrower, any
other Obligor or any of their respective Subsidiaries. Neither the Agent nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower to review or inform the Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrower’s business or
operations. 
 Section 12.8 Confidentiality. 
 Except as otherwise provided by Applicable Law, the Agent and each Lender shall utilize all non-public information obtained pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement which has been identified as confidential or
proprietary by the Borrower in accordance with its customary procedure for handling confidential information of this nature to prevent improper disclosure (including disclosure to competitors of the Borrower) and in accordance with safe and sound
banking practices but in any event may make disclosure: (a) to any of their respective affiliates (provided they shall be notified of the obligation to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section);
(b) as reasonably requested by any bona fide Assignee, Participant or other transferee in connection with the contemplated transfer of any Commitment or participations therein as permitted hereunder (provided they shall be notified of the
obligation to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section); (c) as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process or in connection with any legal
proceedings; (d) to the Agent’s or such Lender’s independent auditors and other professional advisors (provided they shall be notified of the confidential nature of the information); (e) after the happening and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, to any other Person, in connection with the exercise by the Agent or the 

  

 88 








 
Lenders of rights hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents; and (f) to the extent such information (i) becomes publicly available other
than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower, any other Obligor, or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their
respective Affiliates. 
 Section 12.9 Indemnification. 
 (a) Borrower shall and hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Agent, any affiliate of the Agent and each of the Lenders and their
respective directors, officers, shareholders, agents, employees and counsel (each referred to herein as an "Indemnified Party") from and against any and all losses, costs, claims, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or expenses of every
kind and nature (including, without limitation, amounts paid in settlement, court costs and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding or any advice rendered in
connection therewith, but excluding losses, costs, claims, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or expenses indemnification in respect of which is specifically covered by Section 3.12 or 4.1 or expressly excluded from the coverage of
such Sections) incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with, arising out of, or by reason of, any suit, cause of action, claim, arbitration, investigation or settlement, consent decree or other proceeding (the foregoing referred to herein as
an "Indemnity Proceeding") which is in any way related directly or indirectly to: (i) this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated thereby; (ii) the making of the Term Loan; (iii) any actual or proposed
use by the Borrower of the proceeds of the Term Loan; (iv) the Agent’s or any Lender’s entering into this Agreement; (v) the fact that the Agent and the Lenders have established the credit facility evidenced hereby in favor of
the Borrower; (vi) the fact that the Agent and the Lenders are creditors of the Borrower and have or are alleged to have information regarding the financial condition, strategic plans or business operations of the Borrower, the other Obligors,
or their respective Subsidiaries; (vii) the fact that the Agent and the Lenders are material creditors of the Borrower and are alleged to influence directly or indirectly the business decisions or affairs of the Borrower, the other Obligors and
their respective Subsidiaries or their financial condition; (viii) the exercise of any right or remedy the Agent or the Lenders may have under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; or (ix) any violation or non-compliance by the
Borrower, any other Obligor, or any of their respective Subsidiaries of any Applicable Law (including any Environmental Law) including, but not limited to, any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by (A) the Internal Revenue Service or state taxing
authority or (B) any Governmental Authority or other Person under any Environmental Law, including any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by a Governmental Authority or other Person seeking remedial or other action to cause the Borrower, the
Obligors or their respective Subsidiaries (or their respective properties) (or the Agent and/or the Lenders as successors to the Borrower, any other Obligor or their respective Subsidiaries) to be in compliance with such Environmental Laws;
provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party (x) for any acts or omissions of such Indemnified Party that constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct, as finally determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction after the expiration of all applicable appeal periods or (y) in connection with any losses, costs, claims, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or expenses arising out of any action, claim,
arbitration, investigation or settlement, consent decree or other proceeding brought 

  

 89 








 
by any Indemnified Party against any other Indemnified Party in connection with, arising out of, or by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
the transactions contemplated thereby or the making of the Term Loan. 
 (b) The Borrower’s indemnification obligations under this
Section shall apply to all Indemnity Proceedings arising out of, or related to, the foregoing whether or not an Indemnified Party is a named party in such Indemnity Proceeding. In this connection, this indemnification shall cover all reasonable
costs and expenses of any Indemnified Party in connection with any deposition of any Indemnified Party or compliance with any subpoena (including any subpoena requesting the production of documents). This indemnification shall, among other things,
apply to any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by other creditors of the Borrower, any other Obligor, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, any shareholder, partner or other equity holder of the Borrower, any other Obligor or any of their respective
Subsidiaries (whether such shareholder(s) or such other Persons are prosecuting such Indemnity Proceeding in their individual capacity or derivatively on behalf of such Person), any account debtor of the Borrower, any other Obligor, or any of their
respective Subsidiaries or by any Governmental Authority. 
 (c) This indemnification shall apply to any Indemnity Proceeding arising during
the pendency of any bankruptcy proceeding filed by or against Borrower and/or an Obligor or any of their respective Subsidiaries. 
 (d) All
out-of-pocket fees and expenses of, and all amounts paid to third-persons by, an Indemnified Party with respect to an Indemnified Proceeding shall be advanced by the Borrower at the request of such Indemnified Party notwithstanding any claim or
assertion by the Borrower that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by such Indemnified Party that such Indemnified Party will reimburse the Borrower if it is actually and finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not so entitled to indemnification hereunder. 
 (e) An
Indemnified Party may conduct its own investigation and defense of, and may formulate its own strategy with respect to, any Indemnified Proceeding covered by this Section and, as provided above, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such
Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed by the Borrower. No action taken by legal counsel chosen by an Indemnified Party in investigating or defending against any such Indemnified Proceeding shall vitiate or in any way impair the obligations and
duties of the Borrower hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless each such Indemnified Party. 
 (f) If and to the extent that the obligations
of the Borrower hereunder are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under Applicable Law. 
 (g) The Borrower’s obligations hereunder shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the payment in full in
cash of the Obligations, and are in addition to, and not in substitution of, any other of their obligations set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party. 
  

 90 








 Section 12.10 Termination; Survival. 
 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
the Term Loan and (c) all Obligations (other than obligations which survive as provided in the following sentence) have been paid and satisfied in full, this Agreement shall terminate. The indemnities to which the Agent and the Lenders are
entitled under the provisions of Sections 3.12, 4.1, 4.4, 11.7, 12.2 and 12.9 and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the provisions of Section 12.4, shall continue in full force and effect and shall
protect the Agent and the Lenders (i) notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, or of the other Loan Documents, against events arising after such termination as well as before and (ii) at all times after any such party ceases to
be a party to this Agreement with respect to all matters and events existing on or prior to the date such party ceased to be a party to this Agreement. 
 Section 12.11 Severability of Provisions. 
 Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited
or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions or affecting the validity
or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 Section 12.12 GOVERNING LAW. 
 THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY
PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE. 
 Section 12.13 Counterparts. 
 This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. 
 Section 12.14 Obligations with Respect to Obligors and Subsidiaries. 
 The obligations of the Borrower to direct or prohibit the taking of certain actions by the other Obligors and the Subsidiaries of the Borrower and the
other Obligors as specified herein shall be absolute and not subject to any defense the Borrower may have that the Borrower does not control such Obligors or Subsidiaries. 
 Section 12.15 Limitation of Liability. 
 Neither the Agent nor any Lender, nor any affiliate, officer, director, employee, attorney, or agent of the Agent or any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and the Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of
them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages suffered or incurred by the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan 

  

 91 








 
Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. The Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not
to sue the Agent or any Lender or any of the Agent’s or any Lender’s affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related
to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or financed hereby. 
 Section 12.16 Entire Agreement. 
 This Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents referred to herein embody the
final, entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior commitments, agreements, representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and may not be contradicted or
varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the parties hereto. There are no oral agreements among the parties hereto. 
 Section 12.17 Construction. 
 The Agent, the Borrower and each Lender acknowledge that each of
them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed as
if jointly drafted by the Agent, the Borrower and each Lender. 
 Section 12.18 Time of the Essence. 
 Time is of the essence with respect to each and every covenant, agreement and obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. 
 Section 12.19 Patriot Act. 
 Each Lender and the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower and Guarantors that, pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record
information that identifies the Borrower and 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 Guarantors in accordance with the
Patriot Act.

                     (the “Assignor”),
                     (the “Assignee”), and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as Agent (the “Agent”). 
 WHEREAS, the Assignor is a Lender under that certain Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement dated as of May     , 2009 (as amended,
restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among Wells Operating Partnership II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Borrower”), the financial institutions party thereto
and their assignees under Section 12.5 thereof (the “Lenders”), the Agent, and the other parties thereto; 
 WHEREAS, the
Assignor desires to assign to the Assignee, among other things, all or a portion of the Assignor’s Commitment under the Credit Agreement, all on the terms and conditions set forth herein; and 
 WHEREAS, the Agent and, if required by the Credit Agreement, the Borrower consents to such assignment on the terms and conditions set forth herein;

 NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged by the parties hereto,
the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 
 Section 1. Assignment. 
 (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in consideration of the payment to be made by the Assignee to the Assignor pursuant to
Section 2 of this Agreement, effective as of                     , 200   (the “Assignment Date”), the Assignor hereby
irrevocably sells, transfers and assigns to the Assignee, without recourse, the following (such interest being assigned, the “Assigned Commitment”): 
  

							
	 Assigned Facility
	 	 Amount Assigned
	 	 Amount Retained
	 	 Commitment
 Percentage of
 Interest Assigned

				
	 Term Loan
	 		 		 	

 and all voting rights of the Assignor associated with the Assigned Commitment, all rights to receive interest on
such amount of such Term Loan and all commitment and other Fees with respect to the Assigned Commitment and other rights of the Assignor under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to the Assigned Commitment, all as if the
Assignee were an original Lender under and signatory to the Credit Agreement having a Commitment, as set forth above, equal to the amount of the Assigned Commitment. The Assignee, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, hereby assumes all
obligations of the 

  

 A-1 








 
Assignor with respect to the Assigned Commitment as if the Assignee were an original Lender under and signatory to the Credit Agreement having a Commitment,
as set forth above, equal to the Assigned Commitment, which obligations shall include, but shall not be limited to, if a Commitment is part of the Assigned Commitment, the obligation of the Assignor to indemnify the Agent as provided therein (the
foregoing enumerated obligations, together with all other similar obligations more particularly set forth in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall be referred to hereinafter, collectively, as the “Assigned Obligations”).
The Assignor shall have no further duties or obligations with respect to, and shall have no further interest in, the Assigned Obligations or the Assigned Commitment from and after the Assignment Date. 
 (b) The assignment by the Assignor to the Assignee hereunder is without recourse to the Assignor. The Assignee makes and confirms to the Agent, the
Assignor, and the other Lenders all of the representations, warranties and covenants of a Lender under Article XI of the Credit Agreement. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Assignee acknowledges and agrees that, except as set forth in
Section 4 below, the Assignor is making no representations or warranties with respect to, and the Assignee hereby releases and discharges the Assignor for any responsibility or liability for: (i) the present or future solvency or financial
condition of the Borrower, any other Obligor or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (ii) any representations, warranties, statements or information made or furnished by the Borrower, any other Obligor or any of their respective Subsidiaries
in connection with the Credit Agreement or otherwise, (iii) the validity, efficacy, sufficiency, or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other document or instrument executed in connection therewith, or the
collectability of the Assigned Obligations, (iv) the perfection, priority or validity of any Lien with respect to any collateral at any time securing the Obligations or the Assigned Obligations under the Notes or the Credit Agreement and
(v) the performance or failure to perform by the Borrower or any other Obligor of any obligation under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party. Further, the Assignee acknowledges that it has, independently and
without reliance upon the Agent, or on any affiliate or subsidiary thereof, the Assignor or any other Lender and based on the financial statements supplied by the Borrower and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made
its own credit analysis and decision to become a Lender under the Credit Agreement. The Assignee also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the Assignor or any other Lender and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents or pursuant to any other obligation. Except as expressly provided
in the Credit Agreement, the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility whatsoever, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide the Assignee with any credit or other information with respect to the Borrower or any other Obligor or to
notify the Assignee of any Default or Event of Default. The Assignee has not relied on the Agent as to any legal or factual matter in connection therewith or in connection with the transactions contemplated thereunder.

to the Assignor on the Assignment Date, an amount equal to $                     representing the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Term
Loan owing to the Assignor under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents being assigned hereby being assigned hereby.

its obligations under the Credit Agreement; and (ii) the outstanding balance of the Term Loan owing to the Assignor (without reduction by any assignments thereof which have not yet become effective) is
$                    ; and (b) it is the legal and beneficial owner of the Assigned Commitment which is free and clear of any adverse claim
created by the Assignor.

 EXHIBIT B 
 AMENDED AND RESTATED CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT 
 THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT (this
“Agreement”) is entered into as of the      day of May, 2009, by and among WELLS OPERATING PARTNERSHIP II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Borrower”), and the parties executing this agreement as
Guarantors (such parties are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Guarantors”; the Borrower and the Guarantors are sometimes hereinafter referred to individually as a “Contributing Party” and collective as the
“Contributing Parties”). 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement dated as of May
    , 2009, by and among the Borrower, the Lenders a party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as Agent (such agreement, as the same may have been or may from time to time be amended, modified, restated or extended, being
hereinafter referred to as the “Credit Agreement”), the Lenders have agreed to extend financial accommodations to the Borrower; 
 WHEREAS, as a condition to the execution of the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have required that Guarantors execute and deliver that certain Guaranty, dated of even date herewith (such agreement, as the same may have been or may from time
to time be amended, modified, restated or extended, being hereinafter referred to as the “Guaranty”); 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to the
Guaranty, Guarantors have jointly and severally agreed to guarantee the obligations described in the Guaranty (the “Guaranteed Obligations”); 
 WHEREAS, either (i) the Borrower or its 99% general partner is the owner, directly or indirectly, of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests in each Guarantor, or (ii) each
Guarantor is the owner, directly or indirectly of a substantial amount of the Equity Interests in the Borrower; 
 WHEREAS, the Borrower and
each of the Guarantors, though separate legal entities, are mutually dependent upon each other in the conduct of their respective businesses as an integrated operation and have determined it to be in their mutual best interest to obtain financing
from the Agent and the Lenders through their collective efforts; and 
 WHEREAS, the Borrower and Guarantors will derive substantial direct
or indirect economic benefit from the effectiveness and existence of the Credit Agreement; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
premises and the covenants hereinafter contained, and to induce the Borrower to enter into the Credit Agreement and the Guarantors to enter into the Guaranty, it is agreed as follows: 
  

	 	1.	Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement. 


 

	 	2.	 Contribution. To the extent that a Contributing Party shall, under the Guaranty, make a payment (a “Guarantor Payment”) of a portion of the
Guaranteed Obligations, then such Guarantor shall be entitled to contribution and 



  

 B-1 









	 	 
indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, the other Contributing Parties in an amount equal to the amount derived by subtracting from any such Guarantor
Payment the “Allocable Amount” (as defined herein) of such Contributing Party; provided, however, that no Contributing Party shall be liable hereunder for contribution, indemnification, subrogation or reimbursement with
respect to any Guarantor Payment for any amounts in excess of the “Allocable Amount” (as defined herein) for such Contributing Party. 


 As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of each Contributing Party shall be equal to the maximum amount of liability which could be asserted against such Contributing Party hereunder with
respect to the applicable Guarantor Payment without (i) rendering such Contributing Party “insolvent” within the meaning of Section 101(32) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) or Section 2 of
either the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (the “UFTA”) or the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act (the “UFCA”) or the fraudulent conveyance and transfer laws of the State of Georgia or such other jurisdiction whose laws shall be
determined to apply to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Applicable State Fraudulent Conveyance Laws”), (ii) leaving such Contributing Party with unreasonably small capital, within the meaning of Section 548
of the Bankruptcy Code or Section 4 of the UFTA or Section 5 of the UFCA or the Applicable State Fraudulent Conveyance Laws, or (iii) leaving such Contributing Party unable to pay its debts as they become due within the meaning of
Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or Section 4 of the UFTA or Section 6 of the UFCA or the Applicable State Fraudulent Conveyance Laws. 
  

	 	3.	No Impairment. This Agreement is intended only to define the relative rights of the Contributing Parties, and nothing set forth in this Agreement is intended to or shall
reduce or impair the obligations of the Guarantors to pay any amounts, as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Guaranty. The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification
hereunder shall constitute assets in favor of Guarantors to which such contribution and indemnification is owing. 

  

	 	4.	 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective upon its execution by each of the parties hereto and shall continue in full force and effect and may not
be amended, terminated or otherwise revoked by any Contributing Party until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full (in lawful money of the United States of America) and discharged and the Credit Agreement and
financing arrangements evidenced and governed by the Credit Agreement shall have been terminated, except as to any Guarantor upon its release from the Guaranty under the terms of the Credit Agreement or as approved by all of the Lenders. Each
Contributing Party agrees that if, notwithstanding the foregoing, such Contributing Party shall have any right under applicable law to terminate or revoke this Agreement, and such Contributing Party shall attempt to exercise such right, then such
termination or revocation shall not be effective until a written notice of such revocation or termination, specifically referring hereto and signed by such Contributing Party, is actually received by each of the other Contributing Parties and by the
Agent at its notice address set forth in the Credit Agreement. Such notice shall not affect the right or power of any Contributing Party to 



  

 B-2 









	 	 
enforce rights arising prior to receipt of such written notice by each of the other Contributing Parties and the Agent. If any Lender or the Agent grants
additional loans or financial accommodations to the Borrower or takes other action giving rise to additional Guaranteed Obligations after any Contributing Party has exercised any right to terminate or revoke this Agreement but before the Agent
receives such written notice, the rights of the other Contributing Parties to contribution and indemnification hereunder in connection with any Guarantor Payments made with respect to such loans or Guaranteed Obligations shall be the same as if such
termination or revocation had not occurred. 


  

	 	5.	Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia (without giving effect to the conflict of laws rules of
any jurisdiction). 

  

	 	6.	Third Party Beneficiary. The Contributing Parties agree that Agent has a valid interest in the terms of this Agreement pursuant to the Credit Agreement and Guaranty. The
Contributing Parties further agree that until all obligations of the Contributing Parties under the Credit Agreement and Guaranty are fully performed and the obligations of the Lenders to extend the Term Loan has terminated, Agent shall be an
express third party beneficiary of this Agreement with the right to enforce the terms and provisions hereof. 

  

	 	7.	Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendment hereof may be executed in several counterparts and by each party on a separate counterpart, each of which when so executed and
delivered shall be an original, and all of which together shall constitute one instrument. In proving the Agreement it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforcement is
sought. 

  

	 	8.	Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement is given pursuant to the Credit Agreement and is an amendment and restatement of that certain Contribution Agreement dated as of

 EXHIBIT C 
 FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY 
 THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY dated as of May
    , 2009, executed and delivered by each of the undersigned and the other Persons from time to time party hereto pursuant to the execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement (all of the undersigned, together with such other
Persons each a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”) in favor of (a) BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., in its capacity as Agent (the “Agent”) for the Lenders under that certain Amended and Restated Term Loan
Agreement dated as of May     , 2009 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among WELLS OPERATING PARTNERSHIP II, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership (the “Borrower”), the financial institutions party thereto and their assignees under Section 12.5 thereof (the “Lenders”), the Agent, and the other parties thereto, and (b) the Lenders (the parties described
in (a) and (b) are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Credit Parties”). 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit
Agreement, the Credit Parties have agreed to make available to the Borrower certain financial accommodations on the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement; 
 WHEREAS, either (i) Borrower or its 99% general partner is the owner, directly or indirectly, of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding
Equity Interests in each Guarantor, or (ii) each Guarantor is the owner, directly or indirectly of a substantial amount of the Equity Interests in the Borrower; 
 WHEREAS, the Borrower and each of the Guarantors, though separate legal entities, are mutually dependent upon each other in the conduct of their respective businesses as an integrated operation and have determined it
to be in their mutual best interests to obtain financing from the Credit Parties through their collective efforts; 
 WHEREAS, each Guarantor
acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the Credit Parties making such financial accommodations available to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and, accordingly, each Guarantor is willing to guarantee the
Borrower’s obligations to the Credit Parties on the terms and conditions contained herein; and 
 WHEREAS, each Guarantor’s
execution and delivery of this Guaranty is a condition to the Credit Parties making, and continuing to make, such financial accommodations to the Borrower. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by each Guarantor, each Guarantor agrees as follows: 
 Section 1. Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guaranties the due and punctual payment and performance
when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all of the following (collectively referred to as the “Guarantied Obligations”): (a) all indebtedness and obligations owing by the Borrower to any 

  

 C-1 








 
Credit Party under or in connection with the Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document, including without limitation, the repayment of all principal of
the Term Loan, and the payment of all interest, fees, charges, attorneys’ fees and other amounts payable to any Credit Party thereunder or in connection therewith; (b) any and all extensions, renewals, modifications, amendments or
substitutions of the foregoing; (c) all expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, that are incurred by the Credit Parties in the enforcement of any of the foregoing or any obligation of such
Guarantor hereunder; and (d) all other Obligations. 
 Section 2. Guaranty of Payment and Not of Collection. This Guaranty is a
guaranty of payment, and not of collection, and a debt of each Guarantor for its own account. Accordingly, none of the Credit Parties shall be obligated or required before enforcing this Guaranty against any Guarantor: (a) to pursue any right
or remedy any of them may have against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or commence any suit or other proceeding against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person in any court or other tribunal; (b) to make any
claim in a liquidation or bankruptcy of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person; or (c) to make demand of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to enforce or seek to enforce or realize upon any collateral
security held by a Credit Party which may secure any of the Guarantied Obligations. 
 Section 3. Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor
guarantees that the Guarantied Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the documents evidencing the same, regardless of any Applicable Law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the
rights of the Credit Parties with respect thereto. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional in accordance with its terms and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and
shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including without limitation, the following (whether or not such Guarantor consents thereto or has notice thereof):

 (a) (i) any change in the amount, interest rate or due date or other term of any of the Guarantied Obligations, (ii) any change
in the time, place or manner of payment of all or any portion of the Guarantied Obligations, (iii) any amendment or waiver of, or consent to the departure from or other indulgence with respect to, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document,
or any other document or instrument evidencing or relating to any Guarantied Obligations, or (iv) any waiver, renewal, extension, addition, or supplement to, or deletion from, or any other action or inaction under or in respect of, the Credit
Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other documents, instruments or agreements relating to the Guarantied Obligations or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing any Guarantied Obligations or any assignment
or transfer of any of the foregoing; 
 (b) any illegality, lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan
Documents, or any other document, instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing any Guarantied Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing; 
  

 C-2 








 (c) any furnishing to a Credit Party of any security for the Guarantied Obligations, or any sale,
exchange, release or surrender of, or realization on, any collateral securing any of the Obligations; 
 (d) any settlement or compromise of
any of the Guarantied Obligations, any security therefor, or any liability of any other party with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, or any subordination of the payment of the Guarantied Obligations to the payment of any other liability of the
Borrower or any other Obligor; 
 (e) any act or failure to act by the Borrower, any other Obligor or any other Person which may adversely
affect such Guarantor’s subrogation rights, if any, against the Borrower to recover payments made under this Guaranty; 
 (f) any
nonperfection or impairment of any security interest or other Lien on any collateral, if any, securing in any way any of the Obligations; 
 (g) any application of sums paid by the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person with respect to the liabilities of the Credit Parties, regardless of what liabilities of the Borrower remain unpaid; 
 (h) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any statute of limitations in any action hereunder or for the collection of the Notes or for the payment or
performance of the Guarantied Obligations; 
 (i) the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of Borrower or any other person or
entity, or the failure of any Credit Party to file or enforce a claim against the estate (either in administration, bankruptcy or in any other proceeding) of the Borrower or any Guarantor or any other person or entity; 
 (j) the dissolution or termination of existence of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person; 
 (k) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or any other Person;

 (l) the voluntary or involuntary receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization,
assignment, composition, or readjustment of, or any similar proceeding affecting, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any other person, or any of the Borrower’s or any Guarantor’s or any other Person’s or entity’s properties or
assets; 
 (m) the damage, destruction, condemnation, foreclosure or surrender of all or any part of any Property or any of the improvements
located thereon; 
 (n) the failure of a Credit Party to give notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional
indebtedness or obligation or of any action or nonaction on the part of any other person whomsoever in connection with any Guarantied Obligation; 
  

 C-3 








 (o) any failure or delay of a Credit Party to commence an action against the Borrower or any other
Person, to assert or enforce any remedies against the Borrower under the Notes or the Loan Documents, or to realize upon any security; 
 (p)
any failure of any duty on the part of a Credit Party to disclose to any Guarantor any facts it may now or hereafter know regarding the Borrower, any other Person or the Properties or any of the improvements located thereon, whether such facts
materially increase the risk to Guarantors or not; 
 (q) failure to accept or give notice of acceptance of this Guaranty by the Credit
Parties; 
 (r) failure to make or give notice of presentment and demand for payment of any of the indebtedness or performance of any of the
Guarantied Obligations; 
 (s) failure to make or give protest and notice of dishonor or of default to Guarantors or to any other party with
respect to the indebtedness or performance of the Guarantied Obligations; 
 (t) except as otherwise specifically provided in this Guaranty,
any and all other notices whatsoever to which Guarantors might otherwise be entitled; 
 (u) any lack of diligence by the Credit Parties in
collection, protection or realization upon any collateral securing the payment of the indebtedness or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations;

 (x) claims or rights of set-off that any Guarantor may have; 
 (y) any law, regulation, decree or order of
any jurisdiction or any event affecting any provision of the Guarantied Obligations; or 
 (z) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any
other legal, equitable or surety defenses whatsoever to which Guarantors might otherwise be entitled or any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a discharge of a Guarantor (other than indefeasible payment in full or as to a
Guarantor, a release of such Guarantor pursuant to and as provided in the Credit Agreement or as approved by all of the Lenders), it being the intention that the obligations of Guarantors hereunder are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable.

 Section 4. Action with Respect to Guarantied Obligations. The Credit Parties may, at any time and from time to time, without the
consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, and without discharging any Guarantor from its obligations hereunder, take any and all actions 

  

 C-4 








 
described in Section 3 and may otherwise: (a) amend, modify, alter or supplement the terms of any of the Guarantied Obligations, including, but not
limited to, extending or shortening the time of payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations or changing the interest rate that may accrue on any of the Guarantied Obligations; (b) amend, modify, alter or supplement the Credit Agreement or any
other Loan Document; (c) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with all, or any part, of any collateral securing any of the Obligations; (d) release any other Obligor or other Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection
of the Guarantied Obligations; (e) exercise, or refrain from exercising, any rights against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person; and (f) apply any sum, by whomsoever paid or however realized, to the Guarantied Obligations
in such order as the Agent shall elect. 
 Section 5. Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor hereby makes to the Credit
Parties all of the representations and warranties made by the Borrower with respect to or in any way relating to such Guarantor in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as if the same were set forth herein in full. 
 Section 6. Covenants. Each Guarantor will perform and comply with all covenants applicable to such Guarantor, or which the Borrower is required to
cause such Guarantor to comply with under the terms of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents as if the same were more fully set forth herein. 
 Section 7. Waiver. Each Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof or any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, and any other act or
thing, or omission or delay to do any other act or thing, which in any manner or to any extent might vary the risk of such Guarantor or which otherwise might operate to discharge such Guarantor from its obligations hereunder. 
 Section 8. Reinstatement of Guarantied Obligations. If a claim is ever made on a Credit Party for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts
received in payment or on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, and such Credit Party repays all or part of said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, or
(b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such Credit Party with any such claimant (including the Borrower or a trustee in bankruptcy for the Borrower), then and in such event each Guarantor agrees that any such judgment,
decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding on it, notwithstanding any revocation hereof, any release herefrom, or the cancellation of the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other instrument evidencing any
liability of the Borrower, and such Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the Credit Parties for the amounts so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been paid to such Credit Party. 
 Section 9. No Contest with Credit Parties; Subordination. So long as any Guarantied Obligation remains unpaid or undischarged, Guarantors will
not, by paying any sum recoverable hereunder (whether or not demanded by any Credit Party) or by any means or on any other ground, claim any set-off or counterclaim against the Borrower in respect of any liability of Guarantors to the Borrower or,
in proceedings under federal bankruptcy law or insolvency proceedings of any nature, prove in competition with any Credit Party in respect of any payment hereunder or be entitled to have the benefit of any counterclaim or proof of claim or dividend
or 

  

 C-5 








 
payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or the benefit of any other security for any obligation hereby guaranteed which, now or hereafter, any Credit Party
may hold or in which it may have any share. Except as expressly provided in the Contribution Agreement, Guarantors hereby expressly waive any right of contribution from or indemnity against the Borrower, whether at law or in equity, arising from any
payments made by Guarantors pursuant to the terms of this Guaranty, and Guarantors acknowledge that Guarantors have no right whatsoever to proceed against the Borrower for reimbursement of any such payments. In connection with the foregoing,
Guarantors expressly waive any and all rights of subrogation to the Credit Parties against the Borrower, and Guarantors hereby waive any rights to enforce any remedy which a Credit Party may have against the Borrower and any rights to participate in
any collateral for the Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents. Guarantors hereby subordinate any and all indebtedness of the Borrower now or hereafter owed to Guarantors to all indebtedness of the Borrower to the Credit Parties, and
agree with the Credit Parties that (a) Guarantors shall not demand or accept any payment from the Borrower on account of such indebtedness, (b) Guarantors shall not claim any offset or other reduction of Guarantors’ obligations
hereunder because of any such indebtedness, and (c) Guarantors shall not take any action to obtain any interest in any of the security described in and encumbered by the Loan Documents because of any such indebtedness; provided,
however, that, if a Credit Party so requests, such indebtedness shall be collected, enforced and received by Guarantors as trustee for the Credit Parties and be paid over to the Credit Parties on account of the indebtedness of the Borrower to
the Credit Parties, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantors under the other provisions of this Guaranty except to the extent the principal amount of such outstanding indebtedness shall have been reduced by such
payment. 
 Section 10. Payments Free and Clear. All sums payable by each Guarantor hereunder, whether of principal, interest, fees,
expenses, premiums or otherwise, shall be paid in full, without set-off or counterclaim or any deduction or withholding whatsoever (including any Taxes), and if any Guarantor is required by Applicable Law or by a Governmental Authority to make any
such deduction or withholding, such Guarantor shall pay to the Credit Parties such additional amount as will result in the receipt by the Credit Parties of the full amount payable hereunder had such deduction or withholding not occurred or been
required. 
 Section 11. Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under any of the other Loan Documents or
Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, each Guarantor hereby authorizes the Credit Parties, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, without any prior notice to such Guarantor or to any other Person, any
such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of a Credit Party other than the Agent subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Agent exercised in its sole discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all
deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Credit Party or any affiliate of such Credit
Party, to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor against and on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, although such obligations shall be contingent or unmatured. Each Guarantor agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by
Applicable Law, that any Participant may exercise rights of set off or counterclaim and other rights with respect to its participation as fully as if such Participant were a direct creditor of such Guarantor in the amount of such 

  

 C-6 








 
participation. The foregoing shall not apply to any account governed by a written agreement containing an express waiver by such Participant of such
Participant’s rights of setoff. 
 Section 12. Business Failure, Bankruptcy or Insolvency. In the event of the business failure
of any Guarantor or if there shall be pending any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding with respect to any Guarantor under federal bankruptcy law or any other applicable law or in connection with the insolvency of any Guarantor, or if a
liquidator, receiver, or trustee shall have been appointed for any Guarantor or any Guarantor’s properties or assets, the Credit Parties may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to
have the claims of such Person allowed in any proceedings relative to such Guarantor, or any of such Guarantor’s properties or assets, and, irrespective of whether the indebtedness or other obligations of the Borrower guaranteed hereby shall
then be due and payable, by declaration or otherwise, the Credit Parties shall be entitled and empowered to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of any sums or sums owing with respect to the indebtedness or other obligations of the Borrower
guaranteed hereby, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim. Guarantors covenant and agree that upon the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding by or against the
Borrower, Guarantors shall not seek a supplemental stay or otherwise pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §105 or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended (the “Bankruptcy Code”), or any other debtor relief law (whether
statutory, common law, case law, or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of the Credit Parties to enforce any rights of
such Person against Guarantors by virtue of this Guaranty or otherwise. If a Credit Party is prevented under Applicable Law or otherwise from demanding or accelerating payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations by reason of any automatic stay or
otherwise, the Credit Parties shall be entitled to receive from each Guarantor, upon demand therefor, the sums which otherwise would have been due had such demand or acceleration occurred. 
 Section 13. Additional Guarantors; Release of Guarantors. Section 7.12 of the Credit Agreement provides that certain Subsidiaries must become
Guarantors by, among other things, executing and delivering to Agent a Joinder Agreement. Any Subsidiary which executes and delivers to the Agent a Joinder Agreement shall be a Guarantor for all purposes hereunder. Under certain circumstances
described in Section 7.12(b) of the Credit Agreement, certain Subsidiaries may obtain from the Agent a written release from this Guaranty pursuant to the provisions of such section, and upon obtaining such written release, any such Subsidiary
shall no longer be a Guarantor hereunder. Each other Guarantor consents and agrees to any such release and agrees that no such release shall affect its obligations hereunder. 
 Section 14. Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the
Borrower and the other Guarantors, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the Guarantied Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees
that none of the Credit Parties shall have any duty whatsoever to advise any Guarantor of information regarding such circumstances or risks.

 Section 15. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH,
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.

TRIAL; ETC. 
 (a) EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, THE AGENT OR ANY OTHER
CREDIT PARTY WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES. ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE CREDIT PARTIES AND EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ITS
RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER
SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE AGENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT PARTY OF ANY KIND OR NATURE. 
 (b)
EACH OF THE GUARANTORS, THE AGENT AND EACH OTHER CREDIT PARTY HEREBY AGREES THAT THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA, ATLANTA DIVISION OR, AT THE OPTION OF THE AGENT, ANY STATE COURT LOCATED IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA,
