certificate issued by the insurance carrier of such policy shall be delivered to Seller prior to entry upon the Property by Purchaser or its agents, engineers or representatives. Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify Seller and hold Seller harmless
from any liens, claims, liabilities, and damages incurred by Seller as the result of Purchaser entering onto the Property or making its examination thereof (this obligation of Purchaser being hereinafter referred to as “Purchaser’s
Continuing Indemnification Obligation”) (but excluding any liability arising out of the environmental condition of the Property prior to the date of Closing or the presence of toxic or hazardous substances thereon prior to the date of Closing
and excluding any claims arising out of a release of or in-place hazardous or toxic substances on or under the Property prior to the date of Closing), and Purchaser further agrees to repair any damage to the Property caused by Purchaser’s entry
onto the Property and/or conducting its investigations thereof (excluding any damage arising out of a release of existing or in-place hazardous or toxic substances on or under the Property prior to the date of Closing). At all reasonable times prior
to the Closing, Seller shall make available to Purchaser, or Purchaser’s agents and representatives, at Seller’s office on the Property, for review and copying at Purchaser’s expense, all books, records, and files relating to the
ownership and operation of the Property, including, without limitation, title matters, tenant files, tenant credit information, commission agreements, service and maintenance agreements, maintenance records for HVAC and other equipment and the
roof(s) on the Improvements, as-built plans and specifications, environmental reports, engineering reports, reports of insurance carriers insuring the Property, and other contracts, books, records, operating statements, expense budgets, and other
information relating to the Property. Seller further agrees to in good faith assist and cooperate with Purchaser in coming to a thorough understanding of the books, records, and files relating to the Property. Seller further agrees to provide to
Purchaser prior to the date which is five (5) days after the effective date of this Agreement, to the extent the same are in the possession of or under the control of Seller, the most current boundary and “as-built” surveys of the Land and
Improvements and any title insurance policies, appraisals, building inspection reports, environmental reports, certificates of occupancy, building permits, zoning letters and instruments reflecting the approval of any association governing the
Property or relating thereto. At no cost or liability to Seller, Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser, its counsel, accountants, agents, and representatives, provide them with access to Seller’s books and records with respect to the ownership,
management, maintenance, and operation of the Property for the applicable period, and permit them to copy the same. At no cost to Seller, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the authors of appraisal, environmental and building

  

 3 

 inspection reports to issue reliance letters addressed to Purchaser and Purchaser’s lender, if any, in form and
substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, provided any costs associated therewith shall be paid by Purchaser. Seller acknowledges that Purchaser may be required by the
Securities and Exchange Commission to file audited financial statements for one (1) to three (3) years with regard to the Property. At no cost or liability to Seller, Seller shall (i) cooperate with Purchaser, its counsel, accountants, agents, and
representatives, provide them with access to Seller’s books and records with respect to the ownership, management, maintenance, and operation of the Property for the applicable period, and permit them to copy the same, (ii) execute a form of
“rep” letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller, and (iii) furnish Purchaser with such additional information concerning the same as Purchaser shall reasonably request. Purchaser will pay the costs associated with any
such audit. 
  
 5. Special Condition to Closing. Purchaser
shall have thirty (30) days after the effective date of this Agreement (the “Inspection Period”) to make investigations, examinations, inspections, market studies, feasibility studies, lease reviews, and tests relating to the Property and
the operation thereof in order to determine, in Purchaser’s sole opinion and discretion, the suitability of the Property for acquisition by Purchaser. Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time prior to the
expiration of the Inspection Period by giving written notice to Seller of such election to terminate. If Purchaser so elects to terminate this Agreement, Seller shall be entitled to retain the sum of Twenty-Five Dollars ($25.00) of the Earnest
Money, and the balance of the Earnest Money shall be refunded by Seller to Purchaser, whereupon, except for Purchaser’s Continuing Indemnification Obligations, which shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and except as otherwise
expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement, no party hereto shall have any other or further rights or obligations under this Agreement. Seller acknowledges that the sum of $25.00 is good and adequate consideration for the termination
rights granted to Purchaser during the Inspection Period. In the event Purchaser fails to terminate this Agreement during the Inspection Period, the Earnest Money (including any Earnest Money paid to extend the date of Closing pursuant to Paragraph
10(b)) shall be nonrefundable to Purchaser (but shall be applied towards the Purchase Price at Closing) unless (i) Seller defaults on its obligations hereunder or (ii) any general condition precedent to Seller’s obligations regarding the

Commitment and the copies of the documents and instruments referred to therein, shall then have ten (10) days during which to examine same after which Purchaser shall notify Seller of any defects or objections affecting the record marketability of
the title to the Property, other than the Permitted Exceptions. Seller shall then have ten (10) days after receipt of such notice of title defects or objections from Purchaser to advise Purchaser in writing which of such title defects or objections
Seller does intend to satisfy or cure, provided, however, Seller hereby agrees that Seller shall satisfy or cure any such defects or objections consisting of taxes, mortgages, deeds of trust (exclusive of the New York Life Mortgage), mechanic’s
or materialman’s liens or other monetary encumbrances. If Seller fails to give written notice to Purchaser, within such ten (10) day period, regarding which title defects or objections Seller will elect to cure, Seller shall be deemed to have
agreed to satisfy or cure all such defects or objections set forth in Purchaser’s notice. Seller shall have until the Closing (as hereinafter defined) to cure such defects and objections which Seller agreed (or is deemed to have agreed) to
satisfy or cure as provided above. If Seller refuses to cure any title defect or objection or fails or refuses to cure any title defect or objection which Seller is required to cure herein, then, at the option of Purchaser: (i) if any such defects
or objections arose by, through, or under Seller or if any such defects or objections consist of taxes, mortgages, deeds of trust (except the New York Life Mortgage), mechanic’s or materialman’s liens, or other such monetary encumbrances,
Purchaser shall have the right to cure such defects or objections, in which event the Purchase Price payable pursuant to Paragraph 3 hereof shall be reduced by an amount equal to the costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with the
curing of such defects or objections, and upon such curing, the Closing hereof shall proceed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; or (ii) Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of such
termination to Seller and Escrow Agent, whereupon Escrow Agent shall promptly refund all Earnest Money to Purchaser, and Purchaser and Seller shall have no further rights, obligations, or liabilities hereunder, except for Purchaser’s Continuing
Indemnification Obligations or as may 
  

 8 

 otherwise be expressly provided to the contrary herein; or (iii) Purchaser shall have the right to accept title to the
Property subject to such defects and objections with no reduction in the Purchase Price, in which event such defects and objections shall be deemed “Permitted Exceptions”; or (iv) Purchaser may elect to extend the Closing for thirty (30)
days in order to allow Seller additional time to satisfy such defects and objections. If Purchaser elects option (iv) above, and such defects and objections are not cured by Seller to the satisfaction of Purchaser within said thirty (30) day period,
Purchaser shall then have the options set forth in items (i), (ii) and (iii) above. 
  
 If Purchaser fails to give Seller notice of defects or objections as to any matters disclosed by the Title Commitment within ten (10) days after Purchaser’s receipt thereof, then except for monetary liens or encumbrances, such as
taxes, mortgages, deeds of trust (exclusive of the New York Life Mortgage), and mechanic’s and materialmen’s liens, such matters shall be deemed to be additional Permitted Exceptions.

representations and warranties set forth in this Paragraph 19 and the indemnification given herein shall expressly survive the execution and delivery of the General Warranty Deed conveying the Land and Improvements from Seller to Purchaser.

  
 At Closing, Seller shall represent and warrant to Purchaser that all the
representations and warranties of Seller in this Agreement remain true and correct in every material respect as of the date of the Closing, except for any changes in any such representations or warranties that occur and are disclosed by Seller to
Purchaser expressly and in writing at any time and from time to time prior to Closing upon their occurrence, which disclosures shall thereafter be updated by Seller to the date of Closing. Each and all of the express representations and warranties
made and given by Seller to Purchaser herein shall survive the execution and delivery of the Special Warranty Deed by Seller to Purchaser for a period of six (6) months after the Closing, except to the extent that a notice of breach of any
representation or warranty has been given prior to such expiration, in which event such representation and warranty shall continue, but only if Purchaser files a claim against Seller for such breach of such representation and warranty in a court of
competent jurisdiction prior to the end of such additional six (6) month period. If there is any change in any representations or warranties and Seller does not cure or correct such changes prior to Closing, then Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have no claim against Seller
unless the amount of damages incurred by Purchaser as the result of a misrepresentation or breach of warranty by Seller causes damages to Purchase in excess of $25,000.00, in which case Purchaser shall be entitled to file a claim for all actual
damages suffered by Purchaser (as the result of such misrepresentation or breach of warranty), including the $25,000.00 threshold amount. 
  
 Subject to Purchaser’s rights of inspection and investigation during the Inspection Period, Purchaser acknowledges for Purchaser and Purchaser’s

 Until the Closing of this transaction, Seller shall not enter into any new lease or like
arrangement with respect to the Building or any part thereof or the Property or any part thereof, without first obtaining Purchaser’s express written consent with respect to such proposed new lease or like arrangement, and with respect to such
new lease(s), such notification by Seller to Purchaser shall include the costs (i.e., leasing commission and tenant improvement costs) to be incurred in connection with any new lease (the “Lease Notification”). Purchaser shall have five
(5) business days (the “First Consent Period”) to consent or deny consent to a new lease for which a Lease Notification has been given. A failure to respond by Purchaser within the First Consent Period shall be deemed an acceptance of such
new lease three (3) business days (the “Second Consent Period”) after Purchaser’s receipt from Seller of a notice that Purchaser has failed to deny its consent to the proposed lease subject to the Lease Notification, but only if
Purchaser fails to deny its consent to such Lease before the end of the Second Consent Period. If Purchaser denies its consent to a proposed lease during the Second Consent Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to not have consented to such new lease.
If Purchaser accepts such a new lease, Purchaser shall, at Closing, reimburse Seller for all tenant improvements funds and commissions paid by Seller for such new lease from the time of acceptance by Purchaser of such new lease, through Closing, and
such new lease shall otherwise be considered a “Lease” for the purposes of this Agreement.

after the date of this Agreement to the date of Closing, use its best efforts to perform and discharge all of the duties and obligations and shall otherwise comply with every covenant and agreement of the landlord or lessor under the Leases, at

obligations and otherwise comply with each and every one of their covenants and agreements under such Leases and shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary to enforce the terms and provisions of such Leases. Seller hereby agrees that from
and after full execution of this Agreement, Seller shall not credit any portion of the security deposits, if any, against defaults or delinquencies of the Tenants under the Leases. 
  
 (iv) Tenant Estoppel Certificates. Prior to Closing, Seller shall endeavor to obtain and deliver to
Purchaser a fully completed estoppel certificate with respect to each of the Leases in the form attached hereto as Exhibit ”I” (the “Tenant Estoppel Certificates”), duly executed by the Tenant thereunder; provided

Estoppel Certificate (a “Seller’s Estoppel Certificate”), provided, however, Seller may, after the Closing, substitute Tenant Estoppel Certificates for Seller Estoppel Certificates previously furnished, and thereafter, Seller shall be
relieved from any liability to Purchaser with respect to any Seller’s Estoppel Certificate substituted by a Tenant Estoppel Certificate delivered subsequent to Closing.

deposits) prepaid by the Tenants for any period following the month of Closing, or otherwise, which includes the remainder of the prepaid rent paid by American Male, a Tenant in the Building. Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase
Price payable by Seller to Purchaser at Closing for the total sum of all security deposits paid by Tenants under Leases and not theretofore applied to delinquent rent and other charges payable by the applicable Tenant. Seller hereby acknowledges
that Purchaser shall not be legally responsible to Seller for the collection of any uncollected rent or other income under any of the Leases that is past due or otherwise due and payable as of the date of Closing, provided, Seller may, with
Purchaser’s prior consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, bring a claim against any Tenant who has not paid rent due Seller prior to the date of Closing. Purchaser agrees that if (i) a Tenant is in arrears
on the date of Closing in the payment of rent or other charges under such Tenant’s Lease, and (ii) upon Purchaser’s receipt of any rental or other payment from such Tenant, such Tenant is, or after application of a portion of such payment
will be, current under such Lease in the payment of all accrued rental and other charges that become due and payable on the date of Closing or thereafter and in the payment of any other obligations of such Tenant to Purchaser, then Purchaser shall
refund to Seller, out of and to the extent of the portion of such payment remaining after Purchaser deducts therefrom any and all sums due and owing it from such Tenant from and after the date of Closing, an amount up to the full amount of any
arrearage existing on the date of Closing. 
  
 (b) Percentage Rents. Percentage rents, if any, collected by Purchaser from any Tenant under such Tenant’s Lease for the percentage rent accounting period in which the Closing occurs, as, if, and when received by Purchaser, such
that Seller’s pro rata share shall be an amount equal to the total percentage rentals paid for such percentage rent accounting period under the applicable Lease multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days in
such accounting period prior to Closing and the denominator of which shall be the total number of days in such accounting period; provided, however, that such proration shall be made only at such time as such Tenant is current or, after application
of a portion of such 
  

 26 

 payment, will be current in the payment of all rental and other charges under such Tenant’s Lease
that accrue and become due and payable from and after the Closing and in the payment of any other obligations of such Tenant to Purchaser then due and payable by such Tenant. 
  
 (c) Property Taxes. City, state, county, and school district ad valorem taxes based on the ad valorem
tax bills for the Property, if then available, or if not, then on the basis of the latest available tax figures and information. Should such proration be based on such latest available tax figures and information and prove to be inaccurate on
receipt of the ad valorem tax bills for the Property for the year of Closing, either Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, may demand at any time after Closing a payment from the other correcting such malapportionment. In addition, if after
Closing there is an adjustment or reassessment by any governmental authority with respect to, or affecting, any ad valorem taxes for the Property for the year of Closing or any prior year, any additional tax payment for the Property required to be
paid with respect the year of Closing shall be prorated between Purchaser and Seller and any such additional tax payment for the Property for any year prior to the year of Closing shall be paid by Seller. This agreement shall expressly survive the
Closing. 
  
 (d) Utility Charges. Except
for utilities which are the direct responsibility of the Tenants to the applicable public or private utilities supplier, Seller shall pay all utility bills received prior to Closing and shall be responsible for utilities furnished to the Property
prior to Closing. Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of all bills for utilities furnished to the Property subsequent to the Closing. Seller and Purchaser hereby agree to prorate as of midnight preceding the date of Closing and pay their
respective shares of all utility bills received subsequent to Closing (if they include a service period prior to the date of Closing), which agreement shall survive Closing. Seller shall be entitled to all deposits presently in effect with the
utility providers. 
  
 (e) Service
Contracts. Charges under the Service Contracts shall be prorated as of Midnight preceding the date of Closing. 
  
 (f) Other Tenant Charges. Where the Leases contain Tenant obligations for taxes, common area expenses, operating expenses or
additional charges of any nature, and where Seller shall have collected on an estimated basis any portion thereof in excess of amounts owed by Seller for such items for the period prior to the date of Closing, then there shall be an adjustment and
credit given to Purchaser on the date of Closing for such excess amounts collected. Purchaser shall apply all such excess amounts to the charges owed by Purchaser for such items for the period after the date of Closing, and if required by the
Leases, shall rebate or credit Tenants with any remainder. If it is determined subsequent to the Closing that the amount collected during Seller’s ownership period exceeded expenses incurred during the same period by more than the amount
previously credited to Purchaser at Closing, then Seller shall promptly pay to Purchaser the deficiency. If it is determined subsequent to Closing that the amount collected during Seller’s ownership period exceeded expenses incurred during the
same period by less than the amount previously credited to Purchaser at Closing, then Purchaser shall promptly pay to Seller the overpayment. 
  

 27 

 (g) Tenant Inducements and Unpaid Commissions. Seller shall pay all leasing
commissions in connection with any Lease executed on or before the effective date of this Agreement (but excluding leasing commissions due as the result of the exercise by the Tenants of any expansion or extension (or renewal) options set forth in
the Lease which are not exercised until after the Closing). Purchaser shall be entitled to a credit against the Purchase Price for the total sum of any free rent, operating expense abatements, or other unexpired concessions under any Leases to the
extent they apply to any period after the Closing. Except with respect to the work contemplated under the “Existing Escrows” (as defined in Paragraph 14(h) below), Purchaser shall also be entitled to a credit against the Purchase Price for
the total sum of any remaining improvement allowances the payment of which may become the obligation of the landlord or lessor under the Leases after the Closing, but Purchaser shall receive no such credit against the Purchase Price for any
improvement allowances payable by the landlord or lessor under the Leases as a result of the exercise by a Tenant after the Closing of any expansion or extension option in such Tenant’s Lease. 
  
 (h) Escrows. Purchaser acknowledges the existence and
maintenance of two (2) escrow accounts (the “Existing Escrows”) at New York Life (a Shell Space Escrow, containing a balance of One Million Three Hundred Forty-Two Thousand Six Hundred Ninety-Four and No/100 Dollars [$1,342,694] as of
February 29, 2004 and the “Anchor Tenant” Escrow containing a balance of Four Hundred Seventy-Seven Thousand Five Hundred Ninety-Nine and No/100 Dollars [$477,599] as of February 29, 2004). All of the Anchor Tenant Escrow shall be
purchased from Seller at the Closing by increasing the amount due Seller at Closing hereunder by the amount contained in the Anchor Tenant Escrow at the date of Closing. The following sums contained in the Shell Space Escrow shall remain therein and
be transferred for the benefit of Purchaser at Closing: (i) Three Hundred Fifty-Two Thousand Six Hundred Twenty and No/100 Dollars ($352,620), which shall be utilized to pay for tenant improvements for Wachovia on floor six of the Building and (ii)
Twenty-Two Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($22,000), less the cost to be paid by CCAB II, LLC to relocate the main trunk line within the space in the Building adjacent to CCAB II, LLC’s leased premises for the Building’s heating, ventilation
and air conditioning systems of the Building, which shall be paid to CCAB II, LLC for tenant improvements to its premises previously paid for by it. The balance of the Anchor Tenant Escrow amount shall be purchased from Seller at Closing by
increasing the amount due Seller hereunder by the balance contained in the Anchor Tenant Escrow after subtracting therefrom the sums set forth in (i) and (ii) in the preceding sentence hereof. As of Closing, Seller shall certify the cost of the
amount of work done for Wachovia for its sixth floor space in the Building and the amount owed CCAB II, LLC as set forth above and shall draw from the Shell Space Escrow any amounts due under the contracts for such work, so that all work related
thereto is paid for as of the date of Closing. As of and after Closing, Seller shall assign the contracts for such work and the Shell Space Escrow themselves to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall be responsible for completing the tenant improvement work
for Wachovia contemplated under the contracts therefore, using the funds remaining in the Shell Space Escrow. 
  
 15. Purchaser’s Default. In the event of a default by Purchaser under the terms of this Agreement, Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy
shall be to receive the Earnest Money as liquidated 
  

 28 

 damages and thereafter the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder whatsoever, except
Purchaser shall remain obligated to Seller for Purchaser’s Continuing Indemnification Obligations. The parties agree that Seller’s damages will be difficult to ascertain and that the Earnest Money constitutes a reasonable liquidation
thereof and is intended not as a penalty, but as full liquidated damages, except for Purchaser’s Continuing Indemnification Obligations. Seller agrees that in the event of a default by Purchaser, it shall not initiate any proceeding to recover
damages from Purchaser, except for sums owed Seller as the result of Purchaser’s Continuing Indemnification Obligations, but it shall limit its recovery to the receipt and retention of the Earnest Money and any sums due Purchaser from Seller as
the result of Purchaser’s Continuing Indemnification Obligations. The limitations on Purchaser’s liability under this Paragraph 15 shall be inapplicable to the liability of Purchaser for payments, if any, due by Purchaser to Seller under
Paragraph 4 hereof. 
  
 16. Seller’s Default. In the
event of a default by Seller under the terms of this Agreement, except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, at Purchaser’s option: (i) Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, whereupon the Earnest Money shall
be immediately returned by Escrow Agent to Purchaser, and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder whatsoever (except for Purchaser’s Continuing Indemnification Obligations), or (ii) Purchaser shall be entitled
to an immediate refund of all but Twenty-Five and No/100 Dollars ($25.00) of the Earnest Money and to pursue against Seller any remedy granted to Purchaser at law or in equity, including, without limitation, specific performance. 
  
 17. Condemnation. If, prior to the Closing, all or any part of the
Property is subjected to a bona fide threat of condemnation by a body having the power of eminent domain or is taken by eminent domain or condemnation (or sale in lieu thereof), or if Seller has received notice that any condemnation action or
proceeding with respect to the Property is contemplated by a body having the power of eminent domain, Seller shall give Purchaser immediate written notice of such threatened or contemplated condemnation or of such taking or sale, and Purchaser may
by written notice to Seller given within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such notice from Seller, elect to cancel this Agreement. If Purchaser chooses to cancel this Agreement in accordance with this Paragraph 17, then the Earnest Money shall be
returned immediately to Purchaser and the rights, duties, obligations, and liabilities of the parties hereunder shall immediately terminate and be of no further force and effect, provided, however, Purchaser shall remain liable for Purchaser’s
Continuing Indemnification Obligations. If Purchaser does not elect to cancel this Agreement in accordance herewith, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the sale of the Property contemplated by this Agreement, less any interest
taken by eminent domain or condemnation, or sale in lieu thereof, shall be effected with no further adjustment and without reduction of the Purchase Price, and at the Closing, Seller shall assign, transfer, and set over to Purchaser all of the
right, title, and interest of Seller in and to any awards that have been or that may thereafter be made for such taking. At such time as all or a part of the Property is subjected to a bona fide threat of condemnation and Purchaser shall not have
elected to terminate this Agreement as hereinabove provided, Purchaser shall be permitted to participate in the proceedings as if Purchaser were a party to the action. Seller shall not settle or agree to any award or payment pursuant to
condemnation, eminent domain, or sale in lieu thereof without obtaining Purchaser’s prior written consent thereto in each case. 
  

 29 

 18. Damage or Destruction. If any of the Improvements shall be destroyed or damaged prior to the
Closing, and if either the estimated cost of repair or replacement exceeds Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) or the damage results in the termination of one or more of the Leases, Purchaser may, by written notice given to Seller
within twenty (20) days after receipt of written notice from Seller of such damage or destruction, elect to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money shall immediately be returned by Escrow Agent to Purchaser and the rights, duties,
obligations, and liabilities of all parties hereunder shall immediately terminate and be of no further force or effect. If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Paragraph 18, or has no right to terminate this
Agreement (because the damage or destruction does not exceed $250,000.00 and has not resulted in the termination of one or more of the Leases), and the sale of the Property is consummated, Purchaser shall be entitled to receive all insurance
proceeds paid or payable to Seller by reason of such destruction or damage under the insurance required to be maintained by Seller pursuant to Paragraph 9 hereof (less amounts of insurance theretofore received and applied by Seller to costs actually
incurred for restoration). Seller shall not settle or release any damage or destruction claims without obtaining Purchaser’s prior written consent in each case. All said insurance proceeds received by Seller by the date of Closing shall be paid
by Seller to Purchaser at Closing, together with the lesser of (i) that amount necessary to cover any difference between the amount of such proceeds and the estimated cost of repair or replacement, or the amount of the deductible under Seller’s
all-risk property damage insurance policy. In addition, at Closing, Seller shall pay over to Purchaser, and assign to Purchaser, all proceeds of any rent loss insurance for the period of time commencing on the date of Closing. If the amount of said
casualty or rent loss insurance proceeds is not settled by the date of Closing, Seller shall execute at Closing all proofs of loss, assignments of claim, and other similar instruments in order that Purchaser receive all of Seller’s right,
title, and interest in and under said insurance proceeds. 
  
 19.
[INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]. 
  
 20. Assignment. This Agreement
and Purchaser’s rights, duties, and obligations hereunder may not be delegated, transferred, or assigned by Purchaser without the prior written consent of Seller, and any assignee or transferee proposed by Purchaser shall expressly assume all
of Purchaser’s duties, liabilities and obligations under this Agreement by written instrument delivered to Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, this Agreement, and Purchaser’s rights and duties hereunder, may be freely
assigned and transferred to Wells Operating Partnership, L.P. (“Wells OP”) or to any entity under common control with Purchaser or Wells OP or controlled by Purchaser or Wells OP. In the event of any such transfer or assignment, Seller
shall look solely to such transferee or assignee for the performance of all obligations, covenants, conditions, and agreements imposed upon Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, provided, Wells Operating Partnership II, L.P. shall
remain liable to Seller for Purchaser’s Continuing Indemnification Obligations. For purposes of this Paragraph 20, the term “control” shall mean a twenty percent (20%) ownership in the applicable entity. 
  
 21. Broker’s Commission. Upon the Closing, and only in the event
a Closing occurs, Seller shall pay to William T. Wilson, III and John E. Reece, II (collectively, the “Broker”) in cash or its equivalent a real estate sales commission in the amount of Seven Hundred Seventy-Seven Thousand and No/100
Dollars ($777,000) to be divided among them equally. Broker does hereby agree that, in the event the sale contemplated hereby is for any reason not consummated, then no commission shall 
  

 30 

 have been earned, and none shall be payable. Seller shall and does hereby indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser from and
against any claim, whether or not meritorious, for any real estate sales commission, finder’s fees, or like compensation in connection with the sale contemplated hereby and arising out of any act or agreement of Seller, including any claim
asserted by Broker. Likewise, Purchaser shall and does hereby indemnify and hold harmless Seller from and against any claim, whether or not meritorious, for any real estate sales commission, finder’s fees, or like compensation in connection
with the sale contemplated hereby and arising out of any act or agreement of Purchaser, except any such claim asserted by Broker. This Paragraph 21 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

 ARTICLE II 
 THE COMMITMENTS AND BORROWINGS 
  
 2.01
Loans. 
  
 (a) Revolving Loan Commitments.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Revolving Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an
aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Borrowing of Revolving Loans, (i) the Outstanding Amount shall not exceed
the lesser of (A) the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and (B) the Borrowing Base, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Lender, shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Within the limits of each
Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(a), prepay under Section 2.04(a), and reborrow under this Section 2.01. 
  
 (b) Applicable Interest Rate. Revolving Loans may be Base Rate Loans
or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein. 
  
 (c)
Repayment of Revolving Loans. The principal amount of the Revolving Loans shall be repaid in accordance with Section 2.06. 
  
 2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans. 
  
 (a) Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the
Borrower’s irrevocable written notice (in the form of a Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower) to the Administrative Agent; provided, that the Borrower will provide telephonic confirmation of
each such notice to the Administrative Agent immediately following the delivery thereof (although Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notice received by it from the Borrower regardless of whether such telephonic notice is
delivered). Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any conversion
of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, and (ii) one Business Day prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of
$5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic or
written) shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the
case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the
Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted
to, Base Rate Loans which are Revolving Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Borrower
requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. 
  
 (b) Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any
automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in the preceding subsection. In the case of a Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative
Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (and as of or following the Closing Date), the Administrative
Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the 
  

 23 

 amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and
reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided, that to the extent the Borrower does not specifically identify a different account, the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to assume that any Borrowing is to be
funded to the account identified in the Borrowing Letter. 
  
 (c)
If a Eurodollar Rate Loan is continued or converted on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan the Borrower shall pay the amounts, if any, due under Section 3.05. During the existence of a Default, no
Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans. 
  
 (d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The
determination of the Eurodollar Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change
in Bank of America’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change. 
  
 (e) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there
shall not be more than five (5) Interest Periods in effect with respect to Borrowings of Revolving Loans. 
  
 2.03 Intentionally Omitted. 
  
 2.04 Prepayments. 
  
 (a) Voluntary
Prepayments of Loans. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by
the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) one Business Day prior to the prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans
shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding); and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of
$500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding). Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. The
Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and
the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant
to Section 3.05. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. 
  
 (b) Mandatory Prepayments. 
  
 (i) Outstanding Principal in Excess of Aggregate Revolving Commitments. If for any reason the Outstanding Amount at any time
exceeds the lesser of (A) the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or (B) the Borrowing Base then in effect, the Borrower shall immediately prepay Revolving Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. 
  
 (ii) Disposition Proceeds. The Credit Parties shall,
prior to or concurrently with (A) any Disposition of any Real Property/ies constituting one or more Approved Properties, or (B) any Disposition of any Credit Party holding any such Approved Property/ies, prepay the Loans in an amount equal to not
less than one hundred percent (100.0%) of the net proceeds payable to the Credit Parties in connection with the applicable Disposition (provided, that such prepayment shall not, in any case, be in an amount that is less than ninety percent (90.0%)
of the gross proceeds generated by the applicable Disposition); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this subclause (ii) in connection with a given Disposition if the Credit Parties
deliver to the Administrative Agent, not more than five (5) days prior to such Disposition and not less than one (1) day prior to such Disposition, a duly 
  

 24 

 completed pro forma Compliance Certificate executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower (1) showing
that, immediately following such Disposition and taking into account both the subject Disposition and any other events or circumstances that have arisen since the most recent delivery of a Compliance Certificate pursuant to the terms hereof, the
Credit Parties will be in compliance with all financial covenants contained herein and (2) certifying that no Defaults or Event of Default will exist immediately following such Disposition. 
  
 (iii) Equity Contributions. The Credit Parties shall,
as of each Equity Prepayment Date, pay to the Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders) an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the Outstanding Amount as of such date; or (B) an amount equal to (1) one hundred percent (100.0%) of all equity contributions
made by any person or entity to the REIT Guarantor, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries during the immediately prior Equity Accumulation Period, less (2) costs and expenses of the Credit Parties and their affiliates for such
Equity Accumulation Period related to equity raising activities, to the extent such costs and expenses are less than or equal to 13.5% of the gross equity contributions received, less (3) any portion of such proceeds which are either (A) used
for earnest money deposits or as a portion of the purchase price of any Real Property, or (B) certified by the Borrower to be used within the next Equity Accumulation Period for such purposes, in each case to the extent approved by the Agent in its
sole discretion after Agent’s review of the amounts of such proposed deposits and purchases, less (4) at the option of the Credit Parties, all other costs and expenses of the Credit Parties for such Equity Accumulation Period, to the
extent (y) approved by the Agent, in its sole discretion (provided, that the Agent shall have the right to review such costs and expenses following application of any applicable prepayment) and (z) the Credit Parties do not have on hand, as of each
required prepayment date, funds from operations sufficient to cover such costs and expenses; provided, that the Credit Parties shall be permitted to use all Free Equity Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited pursuant to the terms of the
Credit Documents. 
  
 (iv) REIT I Entity

 (A) If, prior to the date on
which the REIT Guarantor has achieved $700 million in total equity, the REIT I Entities amend or otherwise modify their offering prospectus in a manner which alters the amount or timing of their required or permitted procurement of equity
investments (other than as related to dividend reinvestment or so-called 1031 transactions), the Credit Parties shall, within five (5) Business Days of the Agent’s request, prepay the outstanding Obligations such that the Outstanding Amount is
less than fifty percent (50.0%) of the Aggregate Approved Property Amount as of the date of prepayment. The Required Lenders shall have the right to make a request pursuant to this subclause (iv)(A) following the date on which such amendment or
modification is made and following the Required Lenders’ review of any information provided to it prior to such date concerning the status of Borrower’s equity-raising activities and the impact of such amendments or modifications thereon;
provided, that the making of such request shall ultimately be in the sole discretion of the Required Lenders and the Required Lenders’ right to request prepayment pursuant to this subclause (iv) may not be triggered by the investment by any
REIT I Entities in any unconsolidated joint ventures. 
  
 (B) If, following the date occurring five (5) calendar months following the May 10, 2004 closing date of the Prior Credit Agreement and prior to the date on which the REIT Guarantor has achieved $700 million in total equity, any of the REIT
I Entities solicits and/or accepts additional equity contributions or commitments (other than in connection with Dividend Reinvestment Proceeds as provided for in the offering prospectus of the REIT I Entities, equity issuances in connection with
so-called 1031 transactions, equity issuances related to property-specific joint ventures or limited partnerships and equity issuances related to Wells S&P REIT Index Mutual Fund), the Credit Parties shall, within five (5) business days of the

(2) the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, in each case as of the date of prepayment. The Required Lenders shall have the right to make a request pursuant to this subclause (iv)(B) following the applicable solicitation or acceptance; and (2) following
the Required Lenders’ review of any information provided to them prior to such date 
  

 25 

 concerning the status of Borrower’s equity-raising activities and the impact of such solicitation or
acceptance thereon; provided, that the making of such request shall ultimately be in the sole discretion of the Required Lenders and the Required Lenders’ right to request prepayment pursuant to this subclause (iv) may not be triggered by the
investment by any REIT I Entities in any unconsolidated joint ventures.  
  
 (v) Application of Prepayments from Equity Contributions. The Credit Parties shall not be permitted to credit prepayments required
to be made by them pursuant to subclause (iii) of this Section 2.04(b) against prepayments required to be made in connection with subclause (ii) of this Section 2.04(b) (although such prepayments may be credited against any prepayments
which might otherwise be required in connection with subclause (i) of this Section 2.04(b)). 
  
 (c) Application of Prepayments. All amounts prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall be applied (i) first, to the repayment of all
outstanding fees, costs and expenses due and payable by any Credit Party to the Agent pursuant to the terms of the Credit Documents; (ii) second, to the repayment of accrued interest with respect to the outstanding principal amount of the
Loans; (iii) third, to the repayment of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans; (iv) fourth, to the payment of any other Obligations due and owing under the Credit Documents and (v) fifth, to the Borrower (for application

accordance with such Lenders’ respective Pro Rata Shares. 
  
 (d) Prepayment Account. If the Borrower is required to make a mandatory prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans under Section 2.04(b), the Borrower shall have the right, in lieu of making such prepayment in full, to deposit an
amount equal to such mandatory prepayment with the Administrative Agent in a cash collateral account maintained (pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) by and in the sole dominion and control of the
Administrative Agent. Any amounts so deposited shall be held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as collateral for the prepayment of such Eurodollar Rate Loans and shall be applied to the prepayment of the applicable
Eurodollar Rate Loans at the end of the current Interest Periods applicable thereto. At the request of the Borrower, amounts so deposited shall be invested by the Administrative Agent in Cash Equivalents maturing prior to the date or dates on which
it is anticipated that such amounts will be applied to prepay such Eurodollar Rate Loans; any interest earned on such Cash Equivalents will be for the account of the Borrower and the Borrower will deposit with the Administrative Agent the amount of
any loss on any such Cash Equivalents to the extent necessary in order that the amount of the prepayment to be made with the deposited amounts may not be reduced. 
  
 2.05 Termination or Reduction of Aggregate Revolving Commitments. 
  
 (a) Voluntary Reductions. The Borrower may, upon written notice to
the Administrative Agent from the Borrower, terminate the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative
Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. five Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and (iii) the

Borrowing Base. 
  
 (b) General. The Administrative Agent
will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its Pro Rata Share.

 (a) Initial Maturity Date. Subject to extension pursuant to the terms
and conditions set forth in clause (b) of this Section 2.06 and subject to the provisions of clause (c) of this Section 2.06, the Borrower shall, on November 11, 2004 (the “Initial Maturity Date”), cause the
Obligations (including, without limitation, all outstanding principal and interest on the Loans and all fees, costs and expenses due and owing under the Credit Documents) to be Fully Satisfied. 
  

 26 

 (b) Extended Maturity Date Option. Not more than 90 days and not less than 30 days prior to the
Initial Maturity Date, the Borrower may request in writing that the Lenders extend the term of this Agreement for an additional one hundred eighty (180) day period (the end of such period being the “Extended Maturity Date”). Such
extension option shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following requirements: 
  
 (i) at the time of the request, and at the Initial Maturity Date, there shall not exist any Default or any Event of Default; 

 
 (ii) the Outstanding Amount shall, as of the Initial
Maturity Date, be less than or equal to the lesser of (A) the Aggregate Revolving Commitments; and (B) the Borrowing Base, as reduced as of such date in accordance with the definition of “Borrowing Base” contained herein; 
  
 (iii) the Borrower shall have delivered to the
Administrative Agent, together with its request of extension, pro-forma financial statements and a statement of sources and uses of cash of the REIT Guarantor and its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, the Excluded Entities) for the eight
(8) fiscal quarters following the then-current calendar quarter, along with a pro forma Compliance Certificate demonstrating that, upon giving effect to such pro forma financial projections, the Credit Parties will, during such eight fiscal quarter
period, on a pro forma basis, be in compliance with all of the covenants contained in Sections 8.02, 8.03, 8.06 and 8.11; and 
  
 (iv) the Borrower shall, at the time of the request, deliver to the Administrative Agent (for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders based on
their respective Commitments) an extension fee equal to one quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the then-existing Commitments (whether funded or unfunded). 
  
 (c) Satisfaction of Obligations Upon Acceleration. Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any other Credit Agreement to the contrary, to
the extent any of the Obligations are accelerated pursuant to the terms hereof (including, without limitation, Section 9.02 hereof), the Borrower shall, immediately upon the occurrence of such acceleration, cause such accelerated Obligations
to be Fully Satisfied. 
  
 2.07 Interest. 
  
 (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurodollar
Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Spread; and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear
interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Spread. 
  
 (b) If any amount payable by the Borrower under any Credit Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable
grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.
Furthermore, upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to
the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand. 
  
 (c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each
Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law. 
  

 27 

 2.08 Fees. 
  
 (a) Unused Fee. In consideration of the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders hereunder, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent (for the
benefit of the Lenders) a daily fee in connection with the unused amount of the Revolving Commitments (the “Unused Fee”). The Unused Fee shall be payable as of the first day of each calendar month and as of the Maturity Date in
arrears in an amount equal to the sum of the Daily Unused Fees accrued during the applicable calendar month period (or portion thereof). All Unused Fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever. The
Unused Fee shall commence to accrue on the Closing Date. 
  
 (b)
Other Fees. In addition to the fees described in this Section 2.08 and such other fees as Borrower may be required to pay pursuant to the terms of the Credit Documents (including, without limitation, Section 2.06(b) hereof), the
Borrower shall pay to the Arranger, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for their own respective accounts, fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter. All such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be
refundable for any reason whatsoever. 
  
 2.09 Computation of Interest and
Fees. 
  
 All computations of fees and interest hereunder
shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the
Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.11(a),
bear interest for one day. 
  
 2.10 Evidence of Debt. 
  
 The Borrowings funded by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more
accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount
of the Borrowings funded by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount
owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the
Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. The Borrower shall execute and deliver to each Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a promissory note which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such
accounts or records. Each such promissory note shall be in the form of Exhibit B (a “Revolving Note”). Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of
its Loans and payments with respect thereto. 
  
 2.11 Payments
Generally. 
  
 (a) All payments to be made by the
Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the
account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. All payments received by the
Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or
other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office; provided that to the extent the Administrative Agent does not send such wire transfers to which the Lenders
are entitled pursuant to this clause (a) prior to the completion of the Business Day immediately following the date on which it receives any applicable payment from the Borrower, the amount distributed to the Lenders shall be accompanied by
interest, calculated at the Federal Funds Rate, on the amount to which each Lender was initially entitled. To the extent the Borrower seeks to make any payment through the debiting of any accounts held at the Administrative Agent or any of its
Affiliates, the Borrower shall, as of any such date, deliver to the Administrative Agent a written request for the debiting of such account in the form of a Debit Account Form. 
  

 28 

 (b) If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment
shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. 
  
 (c) Unless the Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the
Administrative Agent hereunder, that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but
shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment is not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then:

  
 (i) if the Borrower failed to make such
payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from
and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect; and

  
 (ii) if any Lender failed to make such
payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent
to the Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. If such Lender pays such amount to the
Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent
may make a demand therefor upon the Borrower, and the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the
applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default
by such Lender hereunder. 
  
 A notice of the Administrative Agent
to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 
  
 (d) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this
Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Borrowing set forth in Article V are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof,
the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, with interest calculated at the Federal Funds Rate (which interest shall begin to accrue on the second Business Day following the date of
the requested Borrowing). 
  
 (e) The obligations of the Lenders
hereunder to make Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible
for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan. 
  
 (f)
Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular
place or manner. 
  
 2.12 Sharing of Payments. 
  
 If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall
obtain on account of the Loans made by it any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) 
  

 29 

 in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify
the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Loans pro rata with
each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.06 (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such
paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by
the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its
rights of payment (including the right of set-off, but subject to Section 11.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative
Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that
purchases a participation pursuant to this Section shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations
purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased. 
  
 ARTICLE III 
 TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 
  
 3.01 Taxes. 
  
 (a) Any and all payments by any Credit Party to or for the account of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any
Credit Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities with respect thereto,
excluding, in the case of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, taxes imposed on or measured by its overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it (in lieu of net income taxes), by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision
thereof) under the Laws of which the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, is organized or maintains a lending office (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar
charges, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Credit Party shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Credit Document to the Administrative Agent or
any Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), each of the Administrative Agent and such Lender receives
an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Credit Party shall make such deductions, (iii) such Credit Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority
in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within 30 days after the date of such payment, such Credit Party shall furnish to the Administrative Agent (which shall forward the same to such Lender) the original or a certified copy of a receipt
evidencing payment thereof. 
  
 (b) In addition, the Borrower
agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Credit Document or from the execution, delivery,
performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Credit Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). 
  
 (c) If the Borrower shall be required to deduct or pay any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Credit Document to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Borrower shall also pay to the Administrative Agent or to such Lender, as the case may be, at the time interest is paid, such additional amount that the Administrative Agent or such Lender specifies is
necessary to preserve the after-tax yield (after factoring in all taxes, including taxes imposed on or measured by net income) that the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have received if such Taxes or Other Taxes had not been imposed.

  

 30 

 (d) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for (i) the full amount of
Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent and such Lender, (ii) amounts payable under Section 3.01(c) and (iii)
any liability (including additions to tax, penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. Payment under this subsection (d) shall be made within 30 days after the date the Lender or the Administrative Agent makes a demand therefor. 
  
 3.02 Illegality. 
  
 If any Lender reasonably determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender
or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any
obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to
such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate
Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans.
Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will
not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. 
  
 3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. 
  
 If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan,
or that the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the
Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such
notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the
amount specified therein. 
  
 3.04 Increased Cost and Reduced Return;
Capital Adequacy; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans. 
  
 (a) If any Lender reasonably determines that as a result of the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law, or such Lender’s compliance therewith, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of
agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this subsection (a) any such increased
costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 3.01 shall govern), (ii) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or any foreign jurisdiction
or any political subdivision of either thereof under the Laws of which such Lender is organized or has its Lending Office, and (iii) reserve requirements contemplated by Section 3.04(c)), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender
(with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction; provided, that a Lender’s request for payment of such
additional amounts may not extend to increased costs to such Lender which were incurred more than one (1) calendar year prior to such request. 
  
 (b) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, or
compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office) therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking
into consideration its policies with respect to capital 
  

 31 

 adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender (with a
copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction; provided, that a Lender’s request for payment of such additional amounts may not
extend to reduced rates of return to such Lender for time periods prior to the date occurring one (1) calendar year prior to such request. 
  
 (c) The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting
of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such
Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have received at
least 15 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 15 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and
payable 15 days from receipt of such notice. 
  
 3.05 Funding Losses.

  
 Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of: 
  
 (a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other
than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); 
  
 (b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow,
continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or 
  
 (c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower
pursuant to Section 11.16; 
  
 including any loss of anticipated profits
and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any customary
administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. 
  
 For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching
deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded. 
  
 3.06 Matters Applicable to all Requests for Compensation. 
  
 (a) A certificate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article III and setting
forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

  
 (b) Upon any Lender’s making a claim for compensation
under Section 3.01 or 3.04 or if a Lender invokes the provisions of Section 3.02, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 11.16. 
  

 32 

 3.07 Survival. 
  
 All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and repayment of all
other Obligations hereunder. 
  
 ARTICLE IV 
 GUARANTY 
  
 4.01 The Credit Document Guaranty. 
  
 Each of the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantees to each Lender, each Affiliate of a Lender that enters into a Swap Contract with respect to the Indebtedness evidenced by the Credit Documents, and the
Administrative Agent as hereinafter provided, as primary obligor and not as surety, the prompt payment of the Obligations in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization
or otherwise) strictly in accordance with the terms thereof. The Guarantors hereby further agree that if any of the Obligations are not paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory
cash collateralization or otherwise), the Guarantors will, jointly and severally, promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Obligations, the same
will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal. 
  
 Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any
other of the Credit Documents or Swap Contracts, the obligations of each Guarantor under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such obligations subject
to avoidance under the Debtor Relief Laws or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law. 
  
 4.02 Obligations Unconditional. 
  
 The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 4.01 are joint and several, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Credit
Documents or applicable Swap Contracts, or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, or any substitution, release, impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Obligations, and, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 4.02 that the obligations
of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against the Borrower or any other
Guarantor for amounts paid under this Article IV until such time as the Obligations have been Fully Satisfied. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the occurrence of any
one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above: 
  
 (a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor, the time for any performance of or compliance with
any of the Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived; 
  
 (b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any of the Credit Documents, any applicable Swap Contract between any Credit Party and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, or any other agreement or
instrument referred to in the Credit Documents or such Swap Contracts shall be done or omitted; 
  
 (c) the maturity of any of the Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or
any right under any of the Credit Documents, any applicable Swap Contract between any Credit Party and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Credit Documents or such Swap Contracts shall be
waived or any other guarantee of any of the Obligations or any security therefor shall be released, impaired or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with; 
  

 33 

 (d) any Lien granted to, or in favor of, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Lenders as security
for any of the Obligations shall fail to attach or be perfected; or 
  
 (e) any of the Obligations shall be determined to be void or voidable (including, without limitation, for the benefit of any creditor of any Guarantor) or shall be subordinated to the claims of any Person (including, without limitation, any
creditor of any Guarantor). 
  
 With respect to its obligations
hereunder, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against
any Person under any of the Credit Documents, any applicable Swap Contract between any Credit Party and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Credit Documents or such Swap Contracts, or
against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Obligations. 
  
 4.03 Reinstatement. 
  
 The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article IV shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be
otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender on demand for
all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in
defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law. 
  
 4.04 Certain Additional Waivers. 
  
 Each Guarantor hereby agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of recourse to security for the Obligations, except through the exercise of rights of
subrogation pursuant to Section 4.02 and through the exercise of rights of contribution pursuant to Section 4.06. Further, each Guarantor hereby agrees that neither the Secured Parties’ rights or remedies nor such Guarantor’s
obligations under the terms of this Article IV shall be released, diminished, impaired, reduced or affected by any one or more of the following events, actions, facts, or circumstances, and the liability of Guarantor under this Article
IV shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable irrespective of: 
  
 (a) any limitation on the liability of, or recourse against, any other Person in any Credit Document or arising under any Law; 
  

(b) any claim or defense that the guaranty made pursuant to this Article IV was made without consideration or is not supported by adequate
consideration or that the obligations of Guarantor hereunder exceed or are more burdensome than those of Borrower under the other Credit Documents; 
  
 (c) the taking or accepting of any other security or guaranty for, or right of recourse with respect to, any or all of the Obligations; 
  
 (d) the operation of any statutes of limitation or other Laws regarding the
limitation of actions, all of which are hereby waived as a defense to any action or proceeding brought by Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any Lender against Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by Law; 
  
 (e) any homestead exemption or any other exemption under applicable Law;

  
 (f) any release, surrender, abandonment, exchange, alteration,
sale or other disposition, subordination, deterioration, waste, failure to protect or preserve, impairment, or loss of, or any failure to create or perfect any lien or security interest with respect to, or any other dealings with, any collateral or
security at any time existing or purported, believed or expected to exist in connection with any or all of the Obligations, or any impairment of Guarantor’s recourse against any Person or collateral; 
  

 34 

 (g) whether express or by operation of Law, any partial release of the liability of Guarantor hereunder
(except to the extent expressly so released) or any complete or partial release of Borrower or any other Person liable, directly or indirectly, for the payment or performance of any or all of the Obligations; 
  
 (h) the death, insolvency, bankruptcy, disability, dissolution, liquidation,
termination, receivership, reorganization, merger, consolidation, change of form, structure or ownership, sale of all assets, or lack of corporate, partnership or other power of Borrower or any other Person at any time liable for the payment or
performance of any or all of the Obligations;

deemed to have been a Guarantor on the date of such payment and the financial information for such Guarantor as of the date such Guarantor became a Guarantor shall be utilized for such Guarantor in connection with such payment; (c)
”Contribution Share” shall mean, for any Guarantor in respect of any Excess Payment made by any other Guarantor, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) as of the date of such Excess Payment of (i) the amount by which the aggregate present

hereunder) to (ii) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all assets and other properties of the Credit Parties other than the maker of such Excess Payment exceeds the amount of all of the debts and liabilities (including
contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Credit Parties) of the Credit Parties other than the maker of such Excess Payment; provided, however, that, for purposes of
calculating the Contribution Shares of the Guarantors in respect of any Excess Payment, any Guarantor that became a Guarantor subsequent to the date of any such Excess Payment shall be deemed to have been a Guarantor on the date of such Excess

has received each such item and reviewed such items to the extent necessary, deliver to the Borrower written approval of the applicable Proposed Approved Property as an “Approved Property” hereunder; provided, that (A) the Administrative

 51 

 Proposed Approved Property is not acceptable to the Administrative Agent and any other information reasonably requested
by the Lenders in connection with such Proposed Approved Property and otherwise required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms hereof) to a vote of the Lenders. The Lenders shall, within ten (10) Business Days of such
request deliver their responses to such request; provided, that the failure of a Lender to respond within such period shall constitute such Lender’s rejection of the Proposed Approved Property. If the Required Lenders vote to approve the
applicable Proposed Approved Property, such Proposed Approved Property shall be deemed approved as an “Approved Property” hereunder, regardless of the matters set forth in the Administrative Agent’s summary of unacceptable conditions.
The voting decisions of the Lenders made pursuant to this Section 7.12 shall be in the absolute discretion of the respective Lenders and the Borrower shall, in addition to all other amounts due and owing hereunder, pay all expenses associated
with the Administrative Agent’s dissemination of information to the Lenders pursuant to this Section 7.12..

to the terms and conditions of the Prior Credit Agreement; (ii) such Real Property meets, as of both the termination date of the Prior Credit Agreement and the Closing Date hereof, each of the requirements set forth in the Prior Credit Agreement for
qualification as an “Approved Property” thereunder; and (iii) as of the Closing Date, the Mortgage Instrument(s) and Assignment(s) of Leases delivered with respect to such Real Property expressly secure the Obligations hereunder and under
the Credit Documents or are amended to do so in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent, in its discretion, the Administrative Agent shall, as of the Closing Date, approve such Real Property as an “Approved Property” hereunder to
the extent such Real Property is included as an “Approved Property” on Schedule 6.17(b) hereof as of such date. 
  
 Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, a Real Property’s continued qualification as an “Approved Property” hereunder shall, in all
cases, be subject to such Real Property’s continued conformity with the terms and conditions of the definition of “Approved Property” contained herein (except to the extent such terms and conditions are referenced as unsatisfied in
the Administrative Agent’s summary to the Lenders with respect to a given Proposed Approved Property and the Required Lenders have, nonetheless, voted to approve such Proposed Approved Property pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section 7.12). 
  
 (e) Except for properties submitted as
Approved Bond Transactions, the Mortgage Instruments and Assignments of Leases delivered by the Credit Parties to the Administrative Agent with respect to Proposed Approved Properties that are approved as Approved Properties hereunder shall not be
recorded by the Administrative Agent unless: (i) an Event of Default exists under this Credit Agreement and (ii) the Required Lenders vote to record or cause to be recorded such Mortgage Instruments and Assignments of Leases. Upon the satisfaction
of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above or if the applicable property is to be an Approved Bond Transaction, the Administrative Agent shall record, shall direct the Borrower to record, or shall otherwise cause to be recorded each
of the Mortgage Instruments and Assignments of Leases held pursuant to the terms hereof and may obtain or cause to be obtained any appraisals, title policies (including, without limitation, title policies issued in connection with the Title
Commitments), updates or endorsements it deems necessary. The Credit Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the fees, costs and expenses incurred in the recordation of certain of the Mortgage Instruments pursuant to this Sections 7.12 and
all fees and expenses associated with the procurement of title policies, endorsements or, if deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent, appraisal costs (including, without limitation and with respect to each, any administrative expenses or
attorneys’ fees), may be substantial in nature and that its obligations pursuant to this Sections 7.12 shall endure regardless of the amount of such fees and expenses; provided, that to the extent taxes, fees and other costs related to
the recording of any Mortgage Instrument are reasonably likely to exceed $5,000, the Administrative Agent will, to the extent such measures will not (in the Administrative Agent’s opinion) reduce the value of the security for the Loans or
result in material increased costs to the Administrative Agent and Required Lenders, make reasonable good faith efforts to structure the applicable Mortgage Instrument and related documentation in a manner which minimizes such taxes, fees or other
charges. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Assignments of Leases executed by a Credit Party with respect to any Approved Property may be included in any applicable Mortgage Instrument with respect to such Approved
Property and need not be located in a separate document. 
  
 (f)
To the extent the Administrative Agent and Lenders reject a Proposed Approved Property and Borrower does not promptly thereafter make an additional attempt to cause such Proposed Approved Property to be qualified as an Approved Property pursuant to
this Section 7.12, the Administrative Agent shall return any Mortgage Instrument(s) and/or Assignment(s) of Leases delivered to it in connection therewith.

of any Excluded Entity or any other Credit Party with non-Credit Party equity holders, at any time during the term hereof, to be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in a manner which could result in an increase in the amount or
frequency of dividends, payments and/or distributions paid to non-Credit Party holders of equity interests in such entities or in an increase in the aggregate obligations of any Credit Party or any Excluded Entity to the holders of such equity
interests or (c) the acquisition by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof of any Excluded Entity or any entity that will constitute a Credit Party with non-Credit Party equity holders without the prior written approval of the Administrative

Administrative Agent shall, at the request of, or may, with the consent of, the Required Lenders, take any or all of the following actions: 
  
 (a) declare the commitment of each Lender to make Loans to be terminated, whereupon such commitments and obligation shall be terminated; 
  
 (b) declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all
interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Credit Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby
expressly waived by each Credit Party; and 
  
 (c) exercise on
behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies available to it and the Lenders under the Credit Documents or applicable law (including, without limitation, the right to record the Mortgage Instruments and Assignments of Leases held by it

 provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any Bankruptcy Event with respect to any Credit Party, the obligation of each Lender to make Loans shall

 62

 After the acceleration of the Obligations as provided for in Section 9.02(b) (or after the Loans have automatically

 ARTICLE X 
 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
  
 10.01 Appointment and Authorization
of Administrative Agent. 
  
 Each Lender hereby
irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Credit Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly
delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Credit Document,
the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied
covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Credit Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence,
the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Credit Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any
applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. 
  
 10.02 Delegation of Duties. 
  
 The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement
or any other Credit Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be
responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
  
 10.03 Liability of Administrative Agent. 
  
 No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any
other Credit Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), 
  

 63 

 or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty
made by any Credit Party or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Credit Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in
connection with, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or for any failure of any Credit Party or any other party to any
Credit Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained
in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof. 
  

10.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. 
  
 (a) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution,
representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have
been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Credit Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Credit Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be
indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting,
or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Credit Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request
and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders. 
  
 (b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 5.01, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied
with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date
specifying its objection thereto. 
  
 10.05 Notice of Default.

  
 The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent
shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of its
receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article IX; provided, however, that unless and until the
Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest
of the Lenders. 
  
 10.06 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by
Administrative Agent. 
  
 Each Lender acknowledges that
no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Credit Party or any
Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender
represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the
business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties and 
  

 64 

 their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated
hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems
necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be
furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property,
financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Credit Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person. 
  
 10.07 Indemnification of Administrative Agent. 
  
 Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each
Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Credit Party and without limiting the obligation of any Credit Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified
Liabilities incurred by it; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a
court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall
be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket
expenses (including reasonable Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or
otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Credit Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such
expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in this Section shall survive termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent. 
  
 10.08 Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. 
  
 Bank of America and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of
credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each of the Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates as
though Bank of America were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Bank of America or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any
Credit Party or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Credit Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such
information to them. With respect to its Loans, Bank of America shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the terms
“Lender” and “Lenders” include Bank of America in its individual capacity. 
  
 10.09 Successor Administrative Agent. 
  
 The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders. In addition, the Administrative Agent may be removed at the written direction of the Required Lenders to the extent
the Administrative Agent is shown to be grossly negligent in the performance of its material obligations and/or duties hereunder or to have engaged in willful misconduct in the performance of such obligations and/or duties. 
  
 If the Administrative Agent resigns or is otherwise removed as Administrative
Agent under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor administrative agent for the Lenders, which successor administrative agent shall be consented to by the Borrower at all times other than during

  

 65 

 the existence of an Event of Default (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed). If no successor administrative agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor
administrative agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor administrative agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor administrative agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the
retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent. Upon such retirement or removal, the retiring/removed Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as
Administrative Agent shall be terminated without any other or further act or deed on the part of such retiring Administrative Agent or any other Lender. After any former Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative
Agent, the provisions of this Article X and Sections 11.04 and 11.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor
administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation or the removal of an Administrative Agent by the Lenders, the retiring/removed
Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal (as applicable) shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders
appoint a successor agent as provided for above. 
  
 10.10 Administrative
Agent May File Proofs of Claim. 
  
 In case of the
pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any
Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such
proceeding or otherwise 
  
 (a) to file and prove
a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of
the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the
Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.08 and 11.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
  
 (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 

 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar
official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to
pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections
2.08 and 11.04. 
  
 Nothing contained herein shall be
deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to
authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding. 
  
 10.11 Credit Document Guaranty Matters. 
  
 The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion: 
  
 (a) to release any Guarantor (other than the REIT Guarantor) from its obligations hereunder and under any of the other Credit Documents if the Borrower
certifies that such Person has ceased to be a Subsidiary of any Credit Party as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder or if such Guarantor has converted to Excluded Entity status in accordance with the terms and conditions referenced or
otherwise set forth in Section 8.14 hereof; 
  

 66 

 (b) to release the other Credit Parties hereunder from any obligations under the Collateral Documents
with respect to the Capital Stock of or any other interests in any Guarantor released pursuant to clause (a) above; and 
  
 (c) to terminate and release any Mortgage Instrument or Assignment of Leases with respect to any Real Property to the extent (i) the applicable Real
Property has been removed from qualification as an Approved Property pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.05(a) hereof and Borrower has delivered a written request for such termination and release, (ii) (A) the applicable Real Property has
been removed from qualification as an Approved Property as a result of any event or circumstance that is not voluntarily caused by any Credit Party, (B) the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent a Compliance Certificate (which
certificate shall include an update to the information set forth on Schedule 6.17(b) and shall take into account the removal of such Real Property from the calculation of the Borrowing Base (if applicable) and the payment of any mandatory
prepayment (if any) required to be made in connection with Section 2.04(b)(ii) in connection with such termination and release) demonstrating that (1) the Credit Parties are in compliance with all of the covenants contained in Article
VIII of this Agreement, and (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Loans do not exceed the lesser of (x) the Revolving Commitments and (y) the Borrowing Base; (C) the Borrower has made (or shall make, concurrently with such termination and
release) any prepayment of the Loans required pursuant to Section 2.04(b)(ii) hereof in connection with the Disposition of such Real Property (if applicable); and (D) the Borrower has delivered a written request for such termination and
release; or (iii) the Administrative Agent is otherwise required by applicable Law to provide such termination and release. 
  
 Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to grant releases and
terminations pursuant to this Section 10.11. 
  
 10.12 Other Agents;
Arrangers and Managers. 
  
 None of the Lenders or other
Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “documentation agent,” “managing agent,” “co-agent,” “book manager,” “lead manager,”
“arranger,” “lead arranger” or “co-arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than, in the case of such Lenders, those applicable to all Lenders as
such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the
Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

 MISCELLANEOUS

  
 11.01 Amendments, Etc. 
  
 No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other

without the written consent (or deemed approval) of such Lender (it being understood and agreed that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 5.02 or of any Default or Event of Default or mandatory reduction in the Commitments
shall not constitute a change in the terms of any Commitment of any Lender); 
  

 67

interest, fees or other amounts due to the Lenders (or any of them) hereunder or under any other Credit Document without the written consent (or deemed approval) of each Lender directly affected thereby; 
  
 (c) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any
Loans or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Credit Document without the written consent (or deemed approval) of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided, however, that only the consent of the Required

and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including by facsimile transmission). All such written notices shall be mailed, faxed or delivered to the applicable address, facsimile number or (subject to subsection (c) below)
electronic mail address, and all notices and other communications expressly permitted hereunder to be given by telephone shall be made to the applicable telephone number, as follows: 
  
 (i) if to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, to the address, facsimile number, electronic mail
address or telephone number specified for such Person on Schedule 11.02 (as the same may be updated by the Borrower from time to time by notice to the Administrative Agent) or to such other address, facsimile number, electronic mail address
or telephone number as shall be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties; and 
  

 68 

 (ii) if to any other Lender, to the address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or
telephone number specified in its Administrative Questionnaire or to such other address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number as shall be designated by such party in a notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

  
 All such notices and other communications shall be deemed to
be given or made upon the earlier to occur of (i) actual receipt by the relevant party hereto and (ii) (A) if delivered by hand or by courier, when signed for by or on behalf of the relevant party hereto; (B) if delivered by mail, four Business Days
after deposit in the mails, postage prepaid; (C) if delivered by facsimile, when sent and receipt has been confirmed by telephone; and (D) if delivered by electronic mail (which form of delivery is subject to the provisions of subsection (c) below),
when delivered; provided, however, that notices and other communications to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article II shall not be effective until actually received by such Person. In no event shall a voicemail message be
effective as a notice, communication or confirmation hereunder. 
  
 (b) Effectiveness of Facsimile Documents and Signatures. Credit Documents may be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile. The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable Law, have the same force and
effect as manually-signed originals and shall be binding on all Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. The Administrative Agent may also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually-signed original
thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile document or signature. 
  
 (c) Limited Use of Electronic Mail. Electronic mail and Internet and intranet websites may be used only to distribute
routine communications, such as financial statements and other information as provided in Section 7.02, and to distribute Credit Documents for execution by the parties thereto, and may not be used for any other purpose. 
  
 (d) Reliance by Administrative Agent and Lenders. The Administrative
Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or
were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent-Related Person and each Lender from
all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded
by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording. To the extent a Lender or any Credit Party is given written notice of any request for an approval, consent or other decision from the Administrative Agent
and such Person fails to reply to any such request within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt (or deemed receipt) thereof, such Lender or Credit Party shall be deemed to have approved the requested action, amendment, waiver or other matter.

  
 11.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. 
  
 No failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no
delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law. 

 
 11.04 Attorney Costs, Expenses and Taxes. 
  
 The Credit Parties jointly and severally agree (a) to pay or reimburse the
Administrative Agent for all reasonable and actual costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and any amendment, waiver, consent or other
modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby 
  

 69 

 are consummated), and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including
all reasonable and actual Attorney Costs, and (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and each Lender for all reasonable and actual costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement, attempted enforcement, or preservation of
any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any “workout” or restructuring in respect of the Obligations and during any legal proceeding, including any
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law), including all reasonable and actual Attorney Costs. The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all search, filing, recording, title insurance and appraisal charges and fees and taxes related thereto, and
other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the cost of independent public accountants and other outside experts retained by the Administrative Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 11.04 shall be
payable within ten Business Days after demand therefor. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations. 
  
 11.05 Indemnification by the Credit Parties. 
  
 Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the
Credit Parties jointly and severally shall indemnify and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person, each Lender and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact (collectively the
“Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs) of any kind or nature
whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Credit
Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) any Commitment or Loan or the use or proposed use of the
proceeds therefrom, (c) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by any Credit Party, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Credit Party, or
(d) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or
threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), in all cases, whether or not caused by or
arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. No Indemnitee
shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement, nor shall any Indemnitee have any
liability for any indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date). All amounts due under this
Section 11.05 shall be payable within ten Business Days after demand therefor. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. 
  
 11.06 Payments Set Aside. 
  
 To the
extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Credit Party is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part
thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee,
receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in
full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the
Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. 
  

 70 

 11.07 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 assigns permitted hereby, except that the Credit Parties may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their respective rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (other than in
connection with a transaction not prohibited by Section 8.04) and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of
this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) or (h) of this Section (and
any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

  
 (b) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible
Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining
amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (as defined in subsection (g) of this Section) with respect to a
Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to
the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $2,500,000.00 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents, each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned; (iii) any assignment of a Revolving Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed) unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 and (v) no party that is, immediately following such assignment, a Lender under this Agreement shall have, immediately following such
assignment, a Commitment that is less than $5,000,000.00 in the aggregate. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each
Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the
assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 11.04 and 11.05 with respect
to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or
obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

  
 (c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose
as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and
principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may
treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower
and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
  

 71 

 (d) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Credit Parties or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification
described in the first proviso to Section 11.01 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01,
3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 11.09 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.12 as though it were a Lender. 
  
 (e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been
entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were
a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 11.15 as
though it were a Lender. 
  
 (f) Any Lender may at any time pledge
or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank;
provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
  
 (g) As used herein, the following terms have the following meanings:

  
 “Eligible Assignee” means
(a) a Lender; (b) an Affiliate of a Lender; (c) an Approved Fund; and (d) any other Person (other than a natural person) approved by (i) the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and (ii)
unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, “Eligible Assignee” shall not include the
Credit Parties or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries. 
  
 “Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is (or will be) engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the
ordinary course of its business. 
  
 “Approved Fund” means any Fund that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender. 
  
 (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender
that is a Fund may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or
securities, provided that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 11.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the
Credit Documents and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Credit Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or
otherwise. 
  

 72 

 11.08 Confidentiality. 
  
 Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined
below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is
made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners); (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies
hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the
same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any
swap or to any credit derivative transaction relating to the Credit Parties and their obligations; (g) with the consent of the Borrower; and (h) 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 Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Credit Parties. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any
Credit Party relating to any Credit Party or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Credit Party, provided that, in the
case of information received from a Credit Party after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section
shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 

 
 11.09 Set-off. 
  
 In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to any Credit Party, any such notice being waived by each Credit Party to the fullest extent
permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the
respective Credit Parties against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender hereunder or under any other Credit Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made demand
under this Agreement or any other Credit Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or indebtedness. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no Lender shall be entitled to set-off or apply any deposits in a property specific operating account or reserve account established by a Credit Party for any Real Properties encumbered by mortgage liens in favor of another financial
institution to the extent such financial institution expressly requires such agreement by the Lenders hereunder and provided such Lender and the Administrative Agent has received notice of the interest of such other financial institution prior to
such set-off or application. The list of accounts as of the Closing Date (and as of each date on which such schedule is subsequently updated pursuant to the terms hereof) which are not subject to set-off is set forth on Schedule 11.09
attached hereto. 
  
 11.10 Interest Rate Limitation. 
  
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Credit Document,
the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Credit Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive
interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged,
or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the 
  

 73 

 extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium
rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

  
 11.11 Counterparts. 
  
 This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 
  
 11.12 Integration. 
  
 This Agreement, together with the other Credit Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter.
In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Credit Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Credit Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Credit Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither
against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof. 
  
 11.13 Survival of Representations and Warranties. 
  
 All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Credit Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection
herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Borrowing, and shall continue in full force and effect as long
as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied. 
  
 11.14 Severability. 
  
 If any provision
of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall not be affected or
impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid
or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
  
 11.15 Tax Forms. 
  
 (a) (i) Each Lender that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Foreign
Lender”) shall deliver to each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, prior to receipt of any payment subject to withholding under the Code (or upon accepting an assignment of an interest herein), a duly signed completed copy of
either IRS Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto (relating to such Foreign Lender and entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax on all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or
IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or such other evidence satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that such Foreign
Lender is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. withholding tax, including any exemption pursuant to Section 881(c) of the Code. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Foreign Lender shall (A) promptly submit to each of the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower such additional duly completed and signed copies of one of such forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing 
  

 74 

 authorities) as may then be available under then current United States laws and regulations to avoid, or
such evidence as is satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any available exemption from or reduction of, United States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower pursuant to
this Agreement, (B) promptly notify each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (C) take such steps as shall not be materially
disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws that the Borrower make any deduction or withholding
for taxes from amounts payable to such Foreign Lender. 
  
 (ii) Each Foreign Lender, to the extent it does not act or ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Lender under any of the Credit Documents (for example, in the case of a typical
participation by such Lender), shall deliver to each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower on the date when such Foreign Lender ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any such sums paid or payable, and at such other
times as may be necessary in the determination of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (A) a duly signed completed copy of the forms or statements required to be provided by such Lender as set
forth above, to establish the portion of any such sums paid or payable with respect to which such Lender acts for its own account that is not subject to U.S. withholding tax, and (B) a duly signed completed copy of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor
thereto), together with any information such Lender chooses to transmit with such form, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Code, to establish that such Lender is not acting for its own account with respect to a
portion of any such sums payable to such Lender. 
  
 (iii) The Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Foreign Lender under Section 3.01 (A) with respect to any Taxes required to be deducted or withheld on the basis of the information, certificates or
statements of exemption such Lender transmits with an IRS Form W-8IMY pursuant to this Section 11.15(a) or (B) if such Lender shall have failed to satisfy the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.15(a); provided that if such
Lender shall have satisfied the requirement of this Section 11.15(a) on the date such Lender became a Lender or ceased to act for its own account with respect to any payment under any of the Credit Documents, nothing in this Section
11.15(a) shall relieve the Borrower of its obligation to pay any amounts pursuant to Section 3.01 in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the
interpretation, administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender or other Person for the account of which
such Lender receives any sums payable under any of the Credit Documents is not subject to withholding or is subject to withholding at a reduced rate. 
  
 (iv) The Administrative Agent may, without reduction, withhold any Taxes required to be deducted and withheld from any payment under any
of the Credit Documents with respect to which the Borrower is not required to pay additional amounts under this Section 11.15(a). 
  
 (b) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, each Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower a duly signed completed copy of IRS Form W-9. If such Lender fails to deliver such forms, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may withhold from any
interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable back-up withholding tax imposed by the Code, without reduction. 
  
 (c) If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Administrative Agent or the Borrower did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be,
any tax or other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the
amounts payable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower under this Section, and costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs) of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. The obligation of the Lenders under this Section shall survive the
termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and the resignation of the Administrative Agent. 
  

 75 

 11.16 Replacement of Lenders. 
  
 Under any circumstances set forth herein providing that the Borrower shall have the right to replace a Lender as a party to
this Agreement, the Borrower may, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, replace such Lender by causing such Lender to assign its Commitment and outstanding Loans (with the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrower in such
instance) pursuant to Section 11.07(b) to one or more other Lenders or Eligible Assignees procured by the Borrower; provided, however, that if the Borrower elects to exercise such right with respect to any Lender pursuant to
Section 3.06(b), it shall be obligated to replace all Lenders that have made similar requests for compensation pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04. The Borrower shall pay in full all principal, interest, fees and other amounts
owing to such Lender through the date of replacement (including any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.05) and release such Lender from its obligations under the Credit Documents. Any Lender being replaced shall execute and deliver an
Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans. 
  
 11.17 Governing Law. 
  
 (a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE; PROVIDED THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH
LENDER SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS ARISING UNDER FEDERAL LAW.
