its Affiliates or its Affiliates’ past, present or future shareholders, partners, members, officers, employees, servants, executives, directors, agents or representatives, in each case other than the Borrowers and Guarantors (each such Person
that is not a Borrower or Guarantor, an “Exculpated Party”) shall be liable for payment of any Obligations due hereunder or under any other Loan Document. The sole recourse of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent for satisfaction of
the Obligations due hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be against the Borrowers, the Guarantors and their respective assets and not against any assets or property of any Exculpated Party. In the event that an Event of Default occurs,
no action shall be brought against any Exculpated Party by virtue of its direct or indirect ownership interest in the Borrowers, the Guarantors or their respective assets, and, in the event of any foreclosure on the Collateral, no judgment for any
deficiency upon the Obligations due hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be obtainable by the Lenders or the Administrative Agent against any Exculpated Party.

and restate the representations and warranties set forth in the Credit Agreement and in the other Loan Documents and all such representations and warranties shall be true and correct on the date hereof in all material respects with the same force
and effect as if made on such date (except (x) to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, (y) any
representation or warranty that is already by its terms qualified as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language 

  
 6 








 
shall be true and correct in all respects as of such date after giving effect to such qualification). Each Borrower represents and warrants (which representations and warranties shall survive the
execution and delivery hereof) to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that: 
 (a) it has the power and authority to
execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and has taken or caused to be taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and
the transactions contemplated hereby;

discretion in accordance with general principles of equity; 
 (d) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing; 
 (e) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement will not violate any law, statute or regulation,
or any order or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, or conflict with, or result in the breach of, or constitute a default under, any Contractual Obligation of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries; and 

(f) nothing contained in this Agreement, (i) impairs the validity, effectiveness or priority of the Liens granted pursuant
to any Loan Document, and such Liens continue unimpaired with the same priority to secure repayment of all Obligations, whether heretofore or hereafter incurred or (ii) requires that any new filings be made or other action taken to perfect or
to maintain the perfection of such Liens. 
 SECTION 4. Affirmation of Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby approves and consents
to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and agrees and affirms that its guarantee of the Obligations (except the guaranty of the Obligations by the Parent which is released hereby) continues to be in full force and
effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects and shall apply to the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, and all of the other Loan Documents, as such are amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in
accordance with their terms. 
 SECTION 5. Costs and Expenses. The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that their payment
obligations set forth in Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement include the costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and any other documentation

 7

Default or Event of Default under the Credit Agreement, whether or not known to the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders, or (ii) to prejudice any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders may now have or have
in the future against any Person under or in connection with the Credit Agreement, any of the instruments or agreements referred to therein or any of the transactions contemplated thereby. 

SECTION 7. Release of Empire State Realty Trust, Inc. as a Guarantor. The Administrative Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer
hereby releases Empire State Realty Trust, Inc. from all of its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement, effective upon this Agreement becoming effective in accordance with its terms.
