Credit
Agreement

 

This Credit
Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of April 26, 2018, by and among AMERICAN
FINANCE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP,
L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Borrower”), the Guarantors from time to time party to this Agreement,
the several financial institutions from time to time party to this Agreement, as Lenders, CITIZENS
BANK, N.A. AND SUNTRUST
ROBINSON HUMPHREY, INC.,
as Syndication Agents, and BMO HARRIS BANK N.A., as Administrative
Agent as provided herein. All capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the same meanings herein as such terms
are defined in Section 5.1 hereof.

 

Preliminary
Statement

 

The Borrower
has requested, and the Lenders have agreed to extend, certain credit facilities on the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in this Agreement.

 

NOW,
Therefore, in consideration of the mutual agreements
contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

SECTION 1. The
Credit Facility.

 

Section
1.1. Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender, by its acceptance hereof, severally agrees to make
a loan or loans (individually a “Revolving Loan” and collectively for all the Lenders the “Revolving
Loans”) in U.S. Dollars to the Borrower from time to time on a revolving basis up to the amount of such Lender’s
Commitment, subject to any reductions thereof pursuant to the terms hereof, before the Termination Date. The sum of the aggregate
principal amount of Revolving Loans, Swing Loans and L/C Obligations at any time outstanding shall not exceed the lesser of (i)
the Commitments of all Lenders in effect at such time and (ii) the Available Amount as then determined and computed. Each Borrowing
of Revolving Loans shall be made ratably by the Lenders in proportion to their respective Percentages. As provided in Section 1.6(a)
hereof, the Borrower may elect that each Borrowing of Revolving Loans be either Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans. Revolving
Loans may be repaid and the principal amount thereof reborrowed before the Termination Date, subject to the terms and conditions
hereof.

 

Section
1.2. Swing Loans. (a) Generally. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, as part of the Revolving Credit, the Swing
Line Lender may make loans in U.S. Dollars to the Borrower under the Swing Line (individually a “Swing Loan”
and collectively the “Swing Loans”) which shall not in the aggregate at any time outstanding exceed the Swing
Line Sublimit. Swing Loans may be availed of from time to time and borrowings thereunder may be repaid and used again during the
period ending on the Termination Date. Each Swing Loan shall be in a minimum amount of $250,000 or such greater amount which is
an integral multiple of

$100,000.

 

(b)          Interest
on Swing Loans. Each Swing Loan shall bear interest until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum
equal to (i) the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit as from time to
time in effect (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed) or (ii) the Swing Line
Lender’s Quoted Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed). Interest on each
Swing Loan shall be due and payable by the Borrower on each Interest Payment Date and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

 

     

     

    

 

(c)          Requests
for Swing Loans. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent prior notice (which may be written or oral) no later than
1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the date upon which the Borrower requests that any Swing Loan be made, of the amount and date of such
Swing Loan, and, if applicable, the Interest Period requested therefor. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Swing
Line Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower. Thereafter, the Swing Line Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent
(who shall thereafter promptly notify the Borrower) whether or not it has elected to make such Swing Loan. If the Swing Line Lender
agrees to make such Swing Loan, it may in its discretion quote an interest rate to the Borrower at which the Swing Line Lender
would be willing to make such Swing Loan available to the Borrower for the Interest Period so requested (the rate so quoted for
a given Interest Period being herein referred to as “Swing Line Lender’s Quoted Rate”). The Borrower acknowledges
and agrees that the interest rate quote is given for immediate and irrevocable acceptance. If the Borrower does not so immediately
accept the Swing Line Lender’s Quoted Rate for the full amount requested by the Borrower for such Swing Loan, the Swing Line
Lender’s Quoted Rate shall be deemed immediately withdrawn and such Swing Loan shall bear interest at the rate per annum
determined by adding the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit to the Base Rate as from time to time
in effect. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the proceeds of each Swing Loan extended to the Borrower shall be deposited
or otherwise wire transferred to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent or its Affiliate or as the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Swing Line Lender may otherwise agree. Anything contained in the foregoing to the contrary
notwithstanding, the undertaking of the Swing Line Lender to make Swing Loans shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions
of this Agreement (provided that the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to assume that the conditions precedent to an advance
of any Swing Loan have been satisfied unless notified to the contrary by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders).

 

(d)          Refunding
Loans. In its sole and absolute discretion, the Swing Line Lender may at any time (and shall no later than the tenth Business
Day after each Swing Loan is advanced if such Loan has not been sooner repaid), on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably
authorizes the Swing Line Lender to act on its behalf for such purpose) and with notice to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent, request each Lender to make a Revolving Loan in the form of a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage
of the amount of the Swing Loans outstanding on the date such notice is given (which Loans shall thereafter bear interest as provided
for in Section 1.4(a) hereof). Unless an Event of Default described in Section 9.1(j) or 9.1(k) exists with respect to the Borrower,
regardless of the existence of any other Event of Default, each Lender shall make the proceeds of its requested Revolving Loan
available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds, at the Administrative
Agent’s office in Chicago, Illinois (or such other location designated by the Administrative Agent), before 12:00 Noon (Chicago
time) on the Business Day following the day such notice is given. The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit the proceeds
of such Borrowing to the Swing Line Lender to repay the outstanding Swing Loans.

 

    	 	- 2 -	 

     

    

 

(e)          Participations.
If any Lender refuses or otherwise fails to make a Revolving Loan when requested by the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section
1.2(d) above (because an Event of Default described in Section 9.1(j) or 9.1(k) exists with respect to the Borrower or otherwise),
such Lender will, by the time and in the manner such Revolving Loan was to have been funded to the Swing Line Lender, purchase
from the Swing Line Lender an undivided participating interest in the outstanding Swing Loans in an amount equal to its Percentage
of the aggregate principal amount of Swing Loans that were to have been repaid with such Revolving Loans. From and after the date
of any such purchase, such Swing Loans shall thereafter bear interest as provided for in Section 1.2(b)(i) above. Each Lender that
so purchases a participation in a Swing Loan shall thereafter be entitled to receive its Percentage of each payment of principal
received on the Swing Loan and of interest received thereon accruing from the date such Lender funded to the Swing Line Lender
its participation in such Loan. The several obligations of the Lenders under this Section shall be absolute, irrevocable, and unconditional
under any and all circumstances whatsoever and shall not be subject to any set off, counterclaim or defense to payment which any
Lender may have or have had against the Borrower, any other Lender, or any other Person whatsoever. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, such obligations shall not be affected by any Default or Event of Default or by any reduction or termination
of the Commitments of any Lender, and each payment made by a Lender under this Section shall be made without any offset, abatement,
withholding, or reduction whatsoever.

 

Section
1.3. Letters of Credit. (a) General Terms. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, as part of the Revolving Credit,
the L/C Issuer shall issue standby and commercial letters of credit (each a “Letter of Credit”) for the account
of the Borrower or any one or more of its Subsidiaries in an aggregate undrawn face amount up to the L/C Sublimit. Each Letter
of Credit shall be issued by the L/C Issuer, but each Lender shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer for such Lender’s
Percentage of the amount of each drawing thereunder and, accordingly, each Letter of Credit shall constitute usage of the Commitment
of each Lender pro rata in an amount equal to its Percentage of the L/C Obligations then outstanding. The Existing Letters of Credit
shall be considered “Letters of Credit” for all purposes hereunder and under the Loan Documents, to the same
extent, and with the same force and effect as if the Existing Letters of Credit had been issued on the Closing Date under this
Agreement at the request of the Borrower.

 

    	 	- 3 -	 

     

    

 

(b)          Applications.
At any time before the Termination Date, the L/C Issuer shall, at the request of the Borrower, issue one or more Letters of
Credit in U.S. Dollars, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer, with expiration dates no later than the earlier of
12 months from the date of issuance (or which are cancelable not later than 12 months from the date of issuance) or thirty (30)
days prior to the Termination Date (subject to the sentence below in respect of Letters of Credit with expiration dates that are
automatically extended), in an aggregate face amount up to the L/C Sublimit, upon the receipt of an application duly executed by
the Borrower for the relevant Letter of Credit in the form then customarily prescribed by the L/C Issuer for the Letter of Credit
requested (each an “Application”); provided, however, that the L/C Issuer may issue Letters of
Credit with expiration dates later than the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Termination Date if the Borrower and the
L/C Issuer enter into arrangements for the Cash Collateralization or backstop of such Letters of Credit in a manner satisfactory
to the L/C Issuer. Notwithstanding anything contained in any Application to the contrary: (i) the Borrower shall pay fees in connection
with each Letter of Credit as set forth in Section 2.1 hereof, (ii) except as otherwise provided in Section 1.8(b) or Section 1.14
hereof, unless an Event of Default is then continuing, the L/C Issuer will not call for the funding by the Borrower of any amount
under a Letter of Credit before being presented with a drawing thereunder, and (iii) if the L/C Issuer is not timely reimbursed
for the amount of any drawing under a Letter of Credit on the date such drawing is paid, unless a Loan shall be made on such date
in the amount of the Reimbursement Obligations and the proceeds thereof applied to pay such Reimbursement Obligations as contemplated
by the last sentence of Section 1.3(c) hereof, the Borrower’s obligation to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of such
drawing shall bear interest (which the Borrower hereby promises to pay) from and after the date such drawing is paid at a rate
per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect (computed on the basis of a
year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed). If the L/C Issuer issues any Letter of Credit
with an expiration date that is automatically extended unless the L/C Issuer gives notice that the expiration date will not so
extend beyond its then scheduled expiration date, then the L/C Issuer will give such notice of non renewal before the time necessary
to prevent such automatic extension if before such required notice date: (i) the expiration date of such Letter of Credit if so
extended would be after (x) the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Termination Date or (y) 12 months after the current
expiration date, (ii) the Commitments have been terminated, or (iii) a Default or an Event of Default is then continuing and either
the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (with notice to the Administrative Agent) have given the L/C Issuer instructions
not to so permit the extension of the expiration date of such Letter of Credit; provided, however, that, with respect
to the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the L/C Issuer may extend the expiration date of such Letter of Credit to a date of not
more than one year beyond the Termination Date (any such Letter of Credit, an “Extended Letter of Credit”) if
the Borrower and the L/C Issuer enter into arrangements for the Cash Collateralization or backstop of such Letter of Credit in
a manner satisfactory to the L/C Issuer no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Termination Date (or such shorter period as
agreed to by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent in their sole discretion); provided, that the obligations of the
Borrower under this Section in respect of such Extended Letters of Credit shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall
remain in effect until no such Extended Letters of Credit remain outstanding. If the Borrower fails to provide Cash Collateral
or backstop with respect to any Extended Letter of Credit by the date thirty (30) days prior to the Termination Date (or such shorter
period as agreed to by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent in their sole discretion), such failure shall be treated as
a drawing under such Extended Letter of Credit (in an amount equal to the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit), which
shall be reimbursed (or participations therein funded) by the Lenders in accordance with subsection (c) below, with the proceeds
being utilized to provide Cash Collateral for such Letter of Credit. The L/C Issuer agrees to issue amendments to the Letter(s)
of Credit increasing the amount, or extending the expiration date, thereof at the request of the Borrower subject to the conditions
of Section 7 hereof and the other terms of this Section 1.3.

 

    	 	- 4 -	 

     

    

 

(c)          The
Reimbursement Obligations. Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such
Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Subject to Section 1.3(b)
hereof, the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for all drawings under a Letter of Credit (a “Reimbursement
Obligation”) shall be governed by the Application related to such Letter of Credit, except that, in the event that any
amount is drawn under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, reimbursement shall be made by no later than 1:00 p.m. (Chicago
time) on the date when each drawing is paid if the Borrower has been informed of such drawing by the L/C Issuer on or before 11:00
a.m. (Chicago time) on the date when such drawing is paid or, if notice of such drawing is given to the Borrower after 11:00 a.m.
(Chicago time) on the date when such drawing is paid, by no later than 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the following Business Day,
in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s principal office in Chicago, Illinois or such other office as
the Administrative Agent may designate in writing to the Borrower (who shall thereafter cause to be distributed to the L/C Issuer
such amount(s) in like funds). If the Borrower does not make any such reimbursement payment on the date due and the Participating
Lenders fund their participations therein in the manner set forth in Section 1.3(e) below, then all payments thereafter received
by the Administrative Agent in discharge of any of the relevant Reimbursement Obligations shall be distributed in accordance with
Section 1.3(e) below.

 

(d)          Obligations
Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse L/C Obligations as provided in subsection (c) of this Section shall
be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and
the relevant Application under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability
of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a
Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate
in any respect, (iii) payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that
does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether
or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 1.3, constitute a legal or equitable
discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder, except, in each case, to the extent
of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the
extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the L/C Issuer’s gross negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the L/C Issuer (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and
nonappealable judgment). None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, or the L/C Issuer shall have any liability or responsibility
by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment
thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption,
loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit
(including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence
arising from causes beyond the control of the L/C Issuer; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the
L/C Issuer from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect
of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements) suffered by the Borrower that
are caused by the L/C Issuer’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under
a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the L/C Issuer (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and
nonappealable judgment), the L/C Issuer shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the
foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear
on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole discretion,
either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance
with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(e)          The
Participating Interests. Each Lender (other than the Lender acting as L/C Issuer in issuing the relevant Letter of Credit),
by its acceptance hereof, severally agrees to purchase from the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer hereby agrees to sell to each such
Lender (a “Participating Lender”), an undivided percentage participating interest (a “Participating
Interest”), to the extent of its Percentage, in each Letter of Credit issued by, and each Reimbursement Obligation
owed to, the L/C Issuer. Upon any failure by the Borrower to pay any Reimbursement Obligation at the time required as set forth
in Section 1.3(c) above, or if the L/C Issuer is required at any time to return to the Borrower or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator,
custodian or other Person any portion of any payment of any Reimbursement Obligation, each Participating Lender shall, not later
than the Business Day it receives a certificate in the form of Exhibit A hereto from the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) to such effect, if such certificate is received before 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time), or not later than 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time)
the following Business Day, if such certificate is received after such time, pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the L/C Issuer an amount equal to such Participating Lender’s Percentage of such unpaid or recaptured Reimbursement Obligation
together with interest on such amount accrued from the date the related payment was made by the L/C Issuer to the date of such
payment by such Participating Lender at a rate per annum equal to: (i) from the date the related payment was made by the L/C Issuer
to the date two (2) Business Days after payment by such Participating Lender is due hereunder, at the greater of the Federal Funds
Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation for
each such day and (ii) from the date two (2) Business Days after the date such payment is due from such Participating Lender to
the date such payment is made by such Participating Lender, the Base Rate in effect for each such day. Each such Participating
Lender shall thereafter be entitled to receive its Percentage of each payment received in respect of the relevant Reimbursement
Obligation and of interest paid thereon, with the L/C Issuer retaining its Percentage thereof as a Lender hereunder. The several
obligations of the Participating Lenders to the L/C Issuer under this Section 1.3 shall be absolute, irrevocable, and unconditional
under any and all circumstances whatsoever and shall not be subject to any set off, counterclaim or defense to payment which any
Participating Lender may have or have had against the Borrower, the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other
Person whatsoever. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such obligations shall not be affected by any Default or Event
of Default or by any reduction or termination of any Commitment of any Lender, and each payment by a Participating Lender under
this Section 1.3 shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

 

    	 	- 6 -	 

     

    

  

(f)          Indemnification.
The Participating Lenders shall, to the extent of their respective Percentages, indemnify the L/C Issuer (to the extent not
reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand,
action, loss or liability (except such as result from such L/C Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment) that the L/C Issuer may suffer or incur in connection
with any Letter of Credit issued by it. The obligations of the Participating Lenders under this Section 1.3(f) and all other parts
of this Section 1.3 shall survive termination of this Agreement and of all Applications, Letters of Credit, and all drafts and
other documents presented in connection with drawings thereunder.

 

(g)          Manner
of Requesting a Letter of Credit. The Borrower shall provide at least five (5) Business Days’ advance written notice
to the Administrative Agent of each request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, such notice in each case to be accompanied
by an Application for such Letter of Credit properly completed and executed by the Borrower and, in the case of an extension or
amendment or an increase in the amount of a Letter of Credit, a written request therefor, in a form reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, in each case, together with the fees called for by this Agreement. The Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify the L/C Issuer of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of each such notice (and the L/C Issuer
shall be entitled to assume that the conditions precedent to any such issuance, extension, amendment or increase have been satisfied
unless notified to the contrary by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders) and the L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders of the issuance of the Letter of Credit so requested.

 

(h)          Replacement
of the L/C Issuer. The L/C Issuer may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent,
the replaced L/C Issuer and the successor L/C Issuer. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement
of the L/C Issuer. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for
the account of the replaced L/C Issuer. From and after the effective date of any such replacement (i) the successor L/C Issuer
shall have all the rights and obligations of the L/C Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued
thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “L/C Issuer” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any
previous L/C Issuer, or to such successor and all previous L/C Issuers, as the context shall require. After the replacement of
a L/C Issuer hereunder, the replaced L/C Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations
of a L/C Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be
required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

 

Section
1.4. Applicable Interest Rates. (a) Base Rate Loans. Each Base Rate Loan made or maintained by a Lender shall bear interest
(computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual days elapsed) on the unpaid principal amount
thereof from the date such Loan is advanced, or created by conversion from a Eurodollar Loan, until maturity (whether by acceleration
or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect, payable
by the Borrower on each Interest Payment Date and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

 

    	 	- 7 -	 

     

    

 

“Base
Rate” means, for any day, the rate per annum equal to the greatest of: (a) the rate of interest announced or otherwise
established by the Administrative Agent from time to time as its prime commercial rate, or its equivalent, for U.S. Dollar loans
to borrowers located in the United States as in effect on such day, with any change in the Base Rate resulting from a change in
said prime commercial rate to be effective as of the date of the relevant change in said prime commercial rate (it being acknowledged
and agreed that such rate may not be the Administrative Agent’s best or lowest rate), (b) the sum of (i) the rate determined
by the Administrative Agent to be the average (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of 1%) of the rates per annum
quoted to the Administrative Agent at approximately 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) (or as soon thereafter as is practicable) on such
day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day) by two or more Federal funds brokers selected
by the Administrative Agent for sale to the Administrative Agent at face value of Federal funds in the secondary market in an amount
equal or comparable to the principal amount for which such rate is being determined, plus (ii) 1/2 of 1%, and (c) the LIBOR
Quoted Rate for such day plus 1.00%. As used herein, the term “LIBOR Quoted Rate” means, for any day,
the rate per annum equal to the quotient of (i) the rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next higher one hundred
thousandth of a percentage point) for deposits in U.S. Dollars for a one month interest period commencing on such day, as reported
on the applicable Bloomberg screen page (or such other commercially available source providing such quotations as may be designated
by the Administrative Agent from time to time) as of 11:00 a.m. (London, England time) on such day (or, if such day is not a Business
Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day) divided by (ii) one (1) minus the Eurodollar Reserve Percentage, provided that
in no event shall the “LIBOR Quoted Rate” be less than 0.00%.

 

(b)          Eurodollar
Loans. Each Eurodollar Loan made or maintained by a Lender shall bear interest during each Interest Period it is outstanding
(computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such
Loan is advanced or continued, or created by conversion from a Base Rate Loan, until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise)
at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Adjusted LIBOR applicable for such Interest Period, payable
by the Borrower on each Interest Payment Date and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

 

“Adjusted
LIBOR” means, for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, a rate per annum determined in accordance with the following formula:

 

	 	Adjusted LIBOR	=	LIBOR	 
	 	 	 	1 - Eurodollar Reserve Percentage	 

 

“Eurodollar
Reserve Percentage” means the maximum reserve percentage, expressed as a decimal, at which reserves (including, without
limitation, any emergency, marginal, special, and supplemental reserves) are imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (or any successor) on “eurocurrency liabilities”, as defined in such Board’s Regulation D (or any
successor thereto), subject to any amendments of such reserve requirement by such Board or its successor, taking into account any
transitional adjustments thereto. For purposes of this definition, the relevant Loans shall be deemed to be “eurocurrency
liabilities” as defined in Regulation D without benefit or credit for any prorations, exemptions or offsets under Regulation
D. The Eurodollar Reserve Percentage shall be adjusted automatically on and as of the effective date of any change in any such
reserve percentage.

 

    	 	- 8 -	 

     

    

 

“LIBOR”
means, for an Interest Period for a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, (a) the LIBOR Index Rate for such Interest Period, if such rate
is available, and (b) if the LIBOR Index Rate cannot be determined, the arithmetic average of the rates of interest per annum (rounded
upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100 of 1%) at which deposits in U.S. Dollars in immediately available funds are offered
to the Administrative Agent at 11:00 a.m. (London, England time) two (2) Business Days before the beginning of such Interest Period
by three (3) or more major banks in the interbank eurodollar market selected by the Administrative Agent for delivery on the first
day of and for a period equal to such Interest Period and in an amount equal or comparable to the principal amount of the Eurodollar
Loan scheduled to be made as part of such Borrowing, subject to Section 10.2 in the event that the Administrative Agent shall conclude
that it shall not be possible to determine such interpolated rate (which conclusion shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest
error); provided that in no event shall “LIBOR” be less than 0.00%.

 

“LIBOR
Index Rate” means, for any Interest Period, the rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next higher one
hundred thousandth of a percentage point) for deposits in U.S. Dollars for a period equal to such Interest Period, as reported
on the applicable Bloomberg screen page (or such other commercially available source providing such quotations as may be designated
by the Administrative Agent from time to time) as of 11:00 a.m. (London, England time) on the day two (2) Business Days before
the commencement of such Interest Period.

 

(c)          Rate
Determinations. The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations
hereunder, and its good faith determination thereof shall be conclusive and binding except in the case of manifest error.

 

Section
1.5. Minimum Borrowing Amounts; Maximum Eurodollar Loans. Each Borrowing of Base Rate Loans shall be in an amount not less
than $100,000. Each Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans advanced, continued or converted to a Eurodollar Loan shall be in an amount equal
to $500,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000. Without the Administrative Agent’s consent,
there shall not be more than five (5) Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans outstanding hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all or a portion of its Loans in connection with any refinancing,
extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement
mechanism approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and such Lender.

Section
1.6.          Manner of Borrowing Loans and Designating Applicable Interest
Rates. (a) Notice to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower shall give notice to the
Administrative Agent by no later than 2:00 p.m. (Chicago time): (i) at least three (3) Business Days before the date on which
the Borrower requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans and (ii) one Business Day before the date the Borrower
requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. The Loans included in each Borrowing shall bear interest initially
at the type of rate specified in such notice of a new Borrowing. Thereafter, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower
may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Borrowing or, subject to the minimum
amount requirement for each outstanding Borrowing set forth in Section 1.5 hereof, a portion thereof, as follows: (i) if such
Borrowing is of Eurodollar Loans, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower may continue part or
all of such Borrowing as Eurodollar Loans or convert part or all of such Borrowing into Base Rate Loans or (ii) if such
Borrowing is of Base Rate Loans, on any Business Day, the Borrower may convert all or part of such Borrowing into Eurodollar Loans
for an Interest Period or Interest Periods specified by the Borrower. The Borrower shall give all such notices requesting the
advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing to the Administrative Agent by telephone, telecopy, or other telecommunication
device acceptable to the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable once given and, if by telephone, shall be promptly
confirmed in writing), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (Notice of Borrowing) or Exhibit C (Notice of Continuation/Conversion),
as applicable, or in such other form acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Notice of the continuation of a Borrowing of Eurodollar
Loans for an additional Interest Period or of the conversion of part or all of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar
Loans must be given by no later than 2:00 p.m. (Chicago time) at least three (3) Business Days before the date of the requested
continuation or conversion. All such notices concerning the advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing shall specify the
date of the requested advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), the amount of the requested
Borrowing to be advanced, continued or converted, the type of Loans to comprise such new, continued or converted Borrowing and,
if such Borrowing is to be comprised of Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto. No Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans
shall be advanced, continued, or created by conversion if any Default or Event of Default is then continuing. The Borrower agrees
that the Administrative Agent may rely on any such telephonic, telecopy or other telecommunication notice given by any person
the Administrative Agent in good faith believes is an Authorized Representative without the necessity of independent investigation,
and in the event any such notice by telephone conflicts with any written confirmation such telephonic notice shall govern if the
Administrative Agent has acted in reliance thereon.

 

(b)          Notice
to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic, telecopy or other telecommunication notice to each Lender
of any notice from the Borrower received pursuant to Section 1.6(a) above and, if such notice requests the Lenders to make Eurodollar
Loans, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrower and each Lender by like means of the interest rate applicable
thereto promptly after the Administrative Agent has made such determination.

 

(c)          Borrower’s
Failure to Notify. If the Borrower fails to give notice pursuant to Section 1.6(a) above of the continuation or conversion
of any outstanding principal amount of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans before the last day of its then current Interest Period
within the period required by Section 1.6(a) and such Borrowing is not prepaid in accordance with Section 1.8(a), such Borrowing
shall automatically be continued as a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans with an Interest Period of one (1) month. In the event the
Borrower fails to give notice pursuant to Section 1.6(a) above of a Borrowing equal to the amount of a Reimbursement Obligation
and has not notified the Administrative Agent by 2:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the day such Reimbursement Obligation becomes due
that it intends to repay such Reimbursement Obligation through funds not borrowed under this Agreement, the Borrower shall be deemed
to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit (or, at the option of the Swing Line Lender, under
the Swing Line) on such day in the amount of the Reimbursement Obligation then due, which Borrowing shall be applied to pay the
Reimbursement Obligation then due.

 

    	 	- 10 -	 

     

    

 

(d)          Disbursement
of Loans. Not later than 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the date of any requested advance of a new Borrowing, subject to Section
7 hereof, each Lender shall make available its Loan comprising part of such Borrowing in funds immediately available at the principal
office of the Administrative Agent in Chicago, Illinois (or at such other location as the Administrative Agent shall designate).
The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of each new Borrowing available to the Borrower on the date of such Borrowing
as instructed by the Borrower.

 

(e)          Administrative
Agent Reliance on Lender Funding. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender prior to (or, in
the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, by 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on) the date on which such Lender is scheduled to
make payment to the Administrative Agent of the proceeds of a Loan (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that such
Lender does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such payment when
due and the Administrative Agent may in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to) make available to the
Borrower the proceeds of the Loan to be made by such Lender and, if any Lender has not in fact made such payment to the
Administrative Agent, such Lender shall, on demand, pay to the Administrative Agent the amount made available to the Borrower
attributable to such Lender together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date
such amount was made available to the Borrower and ending on (but excluding) the date such Lender pays such amount to the
Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to: (i) from the date the related advance was made by the Administrative Agent
to the date two (2) Business Days after payment by such Lender is due hereunder, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and
a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation for each
such day and (ii) from the date two (2) Business Days after the date such payment is due from such Lender to the date such
payment is made by such Lender, the Base Rate in effect for each such day. If such amount is not received from such Lender by
the Administrative Agent immediately upon demand, the Borrower will, on demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the
proceeds of the Loan attributable to such Lender with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate
applicable to the relevant Loan, but without such payment being considered a payment or prepayment of a Loan under Section
1.11 hereof so that the Borrower will have no liability under such Section with respect to such payment. Any payment by the
Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such
payment to the Administrative Agent.

 

Section
1.7. Maturity of Loans. Each Loan, including both the outstanding principal balance thereof and any accrued but unpaid interest
thereon, shall mature and be due and payable by the Borrower on the Termination Date.

 

Section
1.8. Prepayments. (a) Optional. The Borrower may prepay in whole or in part (but, if in part, only in an amount not
less than $50,000 and, in each case, in an amount such that the minimum amount required for a Borrowing pursuant to Section 1.2
and 1.5 hereof remains outstanding) any Borrowing (i) in the case of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, at any time upon three (3)
Business Days prior written notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or (ii) in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate
Loans, upon written notice delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time) on the
date of prepayment (or, in any case, such shorter period of time then agreed to by the Administrative Agent), such prepayment to
be made by the payment of the principal amount to be prepaid and, in the case of any Eurodollar Loans or Swing Loans, accrued interest
thereon to the date fixed for prepayment plus any amounts due the Lenders under Section 1.11 hereof.

 

    	 	- 11 -	 

     

    

 

(b)          Mandatory.
(i) If at any time the sum of the unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Loans, Swing Loans and the L/C Obligations then outstanding
shall be in excess of the Available Amount as determined and computed in the most recent Available Amount Certificate delivered
in accordance with Section 8.5(d) or Section 8.5(n) hereof, the Borrower shall, within three (3) Business Days and without notice
or demand, pay the amount of the excess to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders as a mandatory prepayment on
such Obligations, with each such prepayment first to be applied to the Loans until paid in full with any remaining balance to be
held by the Administrative Agent in the Collateral Account as security for the L/C Obligations owing with respect to the Letters
of Credit.

 

(ii) Unless
the Borrower otherwise directs, prepayments of Loans under this Section 1.8(b) shall be applied first to Borrowings of Base Rate
Loans until payment in full thereof with any balance applied to Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans in the order in which their Interest
Periods expire. Each prepayment of Loans under this Section 1.8(b) shall be made by the payment of the principal amount to be prepaid
and, in the case of any Eurodollar Loans or Swing Loans, accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment together with any amounts
due the Lenders under Section 1.11 hereof. Each prefunding of L/C Obligations shall be made in accordance with Section 9.4 hereof.

 

(c)          Borrowings.
Any amount of Loans paid or prepaid before the Termination Date may, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be
borrowed, repaid and borrowed again.

 

Section
1.9. Default Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while any Event of Default is continuing (subject
to the proviso below) or after acceleration of the Obligations as a result of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay interest
(after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on the principal amount of all outstanding Loans
and Reimbursement Obligations, letter of credit fees and other amounts of outstanding Obligations at a rate per annum equal to:

 

(a)          for
any Base Rate Loan or any Swing Loan bearing interest based on the Base Rate, the sum of 2.0% plus the Applicable Margin
plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect;

 

(b)          for
any Eurodollar Loan or any Swing Loan bearing interest at the Swing Line Lender’s Quoted Rate, the sum of 2.0% plus,
in the case of any Eurodollar Loan, the Applicable Margin applicable thereto plus, in the case of any Eurodollar Loan, the
Adjusted LIBOR applicable at the time of such Event of Default, or, in the case of any Swing Loan bearing interest at the Swing
Line Lender’s Quoted Rate, the Swing Line Lender’s Quoted Rate applicable to such Swing Loan, in each case, until the
end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and, thereafter, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2.0% plus the Applicable
Margin for Base Rate Loans plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect;

 

    	 	- 12 -	 

     

    

 

(c)          for
any Reimbursement Obligation, the sum of 2.0% plus the amounts due under Section 1.3(b) with respect to such Reimbursement
Obligation;

 

(d)          for
any Letter of Credit, the sum of 2.0% plus the L/C Participation Fee (for the avoidance of doubt, this shall not affect
the Borrower’s obligation to pay a letter of credit fee due under Section 2.1 with respect to such Letter of Credit); and

 

(e)          for
any other amount owing hereunder not covered by clauses (a)
through (d)          above, the sum of 2.0% plus the Applicable
Margin plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect;

 

provided, however, that
in the absence of an acceleration of the Obligations as a result of an Event of Default, any adjustments pursuant to this Section
1.9 shall be made at the election of the Administrative Agent, acting at the request or with the consent of the Required Lenders,
with written notice to the Borrower. Interest accruing pursuant to this Section 1.9 shall be paid on the demand of the Administrative
Agent at the request or with the consent of the Required Lenders.

 

Section
1.10. Evidence of Indebtedness. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts
evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including
the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

 

(b)          [Reserved].

 

(c)          The
entries maintained in the Register pursuant to Section 12.12(b) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts
of the Obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain
such accounts pursuant to paragraphs (a) above or Section 12.12(b) or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation
of the Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms.

 

(d)          Any
Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a promissory note or notes in the forms of Exhibit D-1 (each a “Revolving
Note” and collectively, the “Revolving Notes”) or D 2 (the “Swing Note”), as applicable
(the Revolving Notes and Swing Note being hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Notes”). In such event,
the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Revolving Note or Swing Note payable to such Lender or its registered
assigns in the amount of its Commitment or Swing Line Sublimit, as applicable. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note or
Notes and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 12.12) be represented by one
or more Notes payable to the order of the payee named therein or any assignee pursuant to Section 12.12, except to the extent
that any such Lender or assignee subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be
evidenced as described in subsections (a) and (b) above.

Section
1.11. Funding Indemnity. If any Lender shall incur any loss, cost or expense (including, without limitation, any loss, cost
or expense reasonably incurred by reason of the liquidation or re employment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender
to fund or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or Swing Loan bearing interest at the Swing Line Lender’s Quoted Rate or the relending
or reinvesting of such deposits or amounts paid or prepaid to such Lender) as a result of:

 

(a)          any
payment, prepayment or conversion of a Eurodollar Loan or such Swing Loan on a date other than the last day of its Interest Period,

 

(b)          any
failure (because of a failure to meet the conditions of Section 7 or otherwise) by the Borrower to borrow or continue a Eurodollar
Loan, or to convert a Base Rate Loan into a Eurodollar Loan, on the date specified in a notice given pursuant to Section 1.6(a)
hereof,

 

(c)          any
failure by the Borrower to make any payment of principal on any Eurodollar Loan or such Swing Loan when due (whether by acceleration
or otherwise), or

 

(d)          any
acceleration of the maturity of a Eurodollar Loan or such Swing Loan as a result of the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder,

 

then, upon the demand of such
Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amount as will reimburse such Lender for such loss, cost or expense. If any
Lender makes such a claim for compensation, it shall provide to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a certificate
setting forth the amount of such loss, cost or expense in reasonable detail (including an explanation of the basis for and the
computation of such loss, cost or expense) and the amounts shown on such certificate shall be deemed prima facie correct
absent manifest error.

 

Section
1.12. Commitment Terminations. (a) Optional Terminations. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from
time to time, upon three (3) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period of time
agreed to by the Administrative Agent), to terminate the Commitments without premium or penalty and in whole or in part, any
partial termination to be (i) in an amount not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) allocated ratably among the Lenders in
proportion to their respective Percentages, provided that the Commitments may not be reduced to an amount less than
the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans, Swing Loans and L/C Obligations then outstanding. Any
termination of the Commitments below the L/C Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit then in effect shall reduce the L/C Sublimit
and the Swing Line Sublimit, as applicable, by a like amount. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to each
Lender of any such termination of the Commitments.

 

(b)          Reinstatement. Any
termination of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 1.12 may not be reinstated.

Section
1.13. Substitution of Lenders. In the event (a) the Borrower receives a claim from any Lender for compensation under
Section 10.3 or 12.1 hereof, (b) the Borrower receives notice from any Lender of any illegality pursuant to Section 10.1
hereof, (c) any Lender is then a Defaulting Lender, or (d) a Lender fails to consent to an amendment or waiver requested
under Section 12.13 hereof requiring the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders at a time when the Required Lenders
have approved such amendment or waiver (any such Lender referred to in clause (a), (b), (c), or (d) above being hereinafter
referred to as an “Affected Lender”), the Borrower may, in addition to any other rights the Borrower may
have hereunder or under applicable Legal Requirements, require, at the Borrower’s expense, any such Affected Lender to
assign, at par, without recourse, all of its interest, rights, and obligations hereunder (including all of its Commitments
and the Loans and participation interests in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans and other amounts at any time owing to it
hereunder and the other Loan Documents) to an Eligible Assignee specified by the Borrower, provided that (i) such
assignment shall not conflict with or violate any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental
Authority, (ii) the Borrower shall have paid to the Affected Lender all
monies (together with amounts due such Affected Lender under Section 1.11 hereof as if the Loans owing to it were prepaid
rather than assigned) other than such principal owing to it hereunder, and (iii) the assignment is entered into in accordance
with, and subject to the consents required by, Section 12.12 hereof (provided any assignment fees and reimbursable expenses
due thereunder shall be paid by the Borrower). In connection with any such assignment, such Affected Lender shall promptly
execute all documents reasonably requested to effect such assignment, including an appropriate Assignment and Acceptance, it
being agreed and understood that the relevant Affected Lender will be deemed to have agreed to and entered into such
assignment upon the payment of such amounts set forth in the foregoing clauses (ii) and (iii), regardless of whether or not
such Affected Lender executes and/or delivers any Assignment and Acceptance, and each Lender, by being party to this
Agreement, in the event it is an Affected Lender, hereby agrees to and accepts an assignment of its Loans and Commitments on
the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.13.

 

Section
1.14. Defaulting Lenders. (a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to
the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements:

 

(i)          Waivers
and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect
to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 12.13 hereof.

 

    	 	- 15 -	 

     

    

 

(ii)         Defaulting
Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account
of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 9 or otherwise) or received by the
Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 12.7 hereto shall be applied at such time or times as may be
determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender
to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting
Lender to any L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s Fronting
Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 9.4; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so
long as no Default or Event of Default is then continuing), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender
has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth,
if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to
(x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and
(y) Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future
Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 9.4; sixth, to the payment of any amounts
owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
obtained by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s
breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default is then continuing, to
the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the
Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;
and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that
if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Obligations in respect of which such Defaulting Lender
has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time
when the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 hereof were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans
of, and L/C Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans
of, or L/C Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C
Obligations and Swing Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Percentages of the relevant Commitments without
giving effect to Section 1.14(a)(iv) below. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that
are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 1.14(a)(ii)
shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

 

(iii)        Certain
Fees.

 

(A)         No
Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any commitment fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender
(and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting
Lender).

 

(B)         Each
Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive L/C Participation Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender
only to the extent allocable to its Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral
pursuant to Section 9.4 hereof.

 

(C)         With
respect to any L/C Participation Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (B) above, the
Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender
with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations or Swing Loans that has been reallocated to
such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each L/C Issuer and Swingline Lender, as applicable, the
amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such L/C Issuer’s or
Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of
any such fee.

 

    	 	- 16 -	 

     

    

  

(iv)         Reallocation
of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations
and Swing Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages of the relevant
Commitments (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitments) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions
set forth in Section 7.1 hereof are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified
the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are
satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Loans of any Non-Defaulting Lender, together
with the interests in L/C Obligations and Swing Loans of such Non-Defaulting Lender, to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s
Revolving Credit Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder
against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting
Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

 

(v)          Cash
Collateral; Repayment of Swing Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially,
be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to them hereunder or under law, (x)
first, prepay Swing Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash
Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 9.4.

 

(b)          Defaulting
Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and each L/C Issuer agree in writing that a Lender
is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date
specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash
Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders
or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded
participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages
of the relevant Commitments (without giving effect to Section 1.14(a)(iv) hereof), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting
Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of
the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise
expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release
of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

 

(c)          New
Swing Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swing Line Lender shall not be required
to fund any Swing Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swing Loan and
(ii) no L/C Issuer shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will
have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

 

    	 	- 17 -	 

     

    

  

(d)          Purchase
of Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. During any period that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower may, by
the Borrower giving written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, demand
that such Defaulting Lender assign its Commitment and Loans to an Eligible Assignee subject and in accordance with the
provisions of Section 12.12. No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to
assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. In addition, any Lender who is not a Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be
obligated to, in its sole discretion, acquire the face amount of all or a portion of such Defaulting Lender’s
Commitment and Loans via an assignment subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.12. In connection with
any such assignment, such Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to effect such
assignment, including an appropriate Assignment and Acceptance and shall pay to the Administrative Agent an assignment fee in
the amount of $3,500, it being agreed and understood that the relevant Defaulting Lender will be deemed to have agreed to and
entered into such Assignment and Acceptance upon the payment of such amounts set forth in this Section 1.14(d), regardless of
whether or not such Defaulting Lender executes and/or delivers any Assignment and Acceptance, and each Lender, by being party
to this Agreement, in the event it is a Defaulting Lender, hereby agrees to and accepts an assignment of its Loans and
Commitments on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.14(d). The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under
this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent or
any of the Lenders.

 

Section
1.15. Increase in Commitments. The Borrower may, from time to time, on any Business Day prior to the Termination Date, increase
the aggregate amount of the Commitments by delivering a commitment amount increase request substantially in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit H or in such other form acceptable to the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the desired
effective date of such increase (each such increase, a “Commitment Amount Increase”) identifying one or more
additional Lenders (or additional Commitments provided by existing Lender(s) or by a combination of existing Lenders and additional
Lenders (each such Lender providing (or increasing) its Commitment pursuant to any Commitment Amount Increase, a “Commitment
Amount Increase Lender”)) and the amount of its Commitment (or additional amount of its Commitment(s)); provided,
however, that (i) the aggregate amount of the Commitments shall not be increased by an amount in excess of $500,000,000, (ii)
any Commitment Amount Increase shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000, (iii) no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing at the time of the request or the effective date of such Commitment Amount Increase, and (iv) all representations
and warranties contained in Section 6 hereof shall be true and correct in all material respects (where not already qualified by
materiality or Material Adverse Effect, otherwise in all respects) at the time of such request and on the effective date of such
Commitment Amount Increase (except to the extent such representations and warranties relate to an earlier date, in which case they
are true and correct in all material respects (where not already qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, otherwise
in all respects) as of such date). The effective date of a Commitment Amount Increase shall be as set forth in the related commitment
amount increase request. Upon the effectiveness of any Commitment Amount Increase, (i) each Lender hereunder immediately prior
to the effectiveness of such Commitment Amount Increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to
each relevant Commitment Amount Increase Lender, and each relevant Commitment Amount Increase Lender will automatically and without
further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit
and Swing Loans, if applicable, such that, after giving effect to each deemed assignment and assumption of participations, all
of the Lenders’ (including each Commitment Amount Increase Lender) (A) participations
hereunder in Letters of Credit and (B) participations hereunder in Swing Loans shall be held on a pro rata basis on the basis of
their respective Commitments (after giving effect to any increase in the aggregate Commitments pursuant to this Section 1.15) and
(ii) each Lender hereunder immediately prior to the effectiveness of such Commitment Amount Increase will automatically and without
further act be deemed to have assigned Loans to the other Lenders (including the Commitment Amount Increase Lenders), and such
other Lenders (including the Commitment Amount Increase Lenders) shall be deemed to have purchased such Loans, in each case to
the extent necessary so that all of the Lenders participate in each outstanding borrowing of Loans pro rata on the basis of their
respective Commitment (after giving effect to any Commitment Amount Increase pursuant to this Section 1.15); it being understood
and agreed that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing, pro rata payment and funding indemnity requirements contained elsewhere
in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. It shall be a condition
to such effectiveness that the Borrower shall not have previously terminated any portion of the Commitments pursuant to Section
1.12 hereof. The Borrower agrees to pay any reasonable and documented, out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent relating
to any Commitment Amount Increase pursuant to Section 12.15 and arrangement fees related thereto as agreed between Administrative
Agent and the Borrower in that certain fee letter dated March 14, 2018. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Lender
shall have any obligation to increase its Commitment and no Lender’s Commitment shall be increased without its consent thereto,
and each Lender may at its option, unconditionally and without cause, decline to increase its Commitment.

Section
1.16. Extension of Stated Maturity Date. If the equity interests of AF REIT become listed and publicly traded on a
national securities exchange, then the Stated Maturity Date shall automatically extend by two (2) years (i.e., to April 26,
2022) (the “Listing Extension”). If the Listing Extension shall have occurred, then the Borrower shall
have the right, exercisable one time, and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 1.16, to
extend the then current Stated Maturity Date by one additional year (i.e., to April 26, 2023). The Borrower may exercise such
right only by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent at least 30 days but not more than 90 days prior to the
then current Stated Maturity Date, a written request for such extension (an “Extension Request”). The
Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders if it receives an Extension Request promptly upon receipt thereof. Subject
solely to satisfaction of the following conditions, the Stated Maturity Date shall be extended for one year effective upon
receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Extension Request and payment of the fee referred to in the following clause (y):
(x) immediately prior to such extension and immediately after giving effect thereto, (A) no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing at such time and (B) each of the representations and warranties set forth herein and in the other
Loan Documents shall be and remain true and correct in all material respects (where not already qualified by materiality or
Material Adverse Effect, otherwise in all respects) as of said time, except to the extent the same expressly relate to an
earlier date, in which case the same shall be true and correct in all material respects (where not already qualified by
materiality or Material Adverse Effect, otherwise in all respects) as of such earlier date and (y) the Borrower shall have
paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a fee equal to 0.15% of the amount of such Lender’s
Commitment (whether or not utilized) in effect at said time, which shall be due and payable in full on the effective date of
such extension. At any time after the Administrative Agent’s receipt of an Extension Request and prior to the
effectiveness of any such extension, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent a certificate from the chief executive officer or chief financial officer of the Borrower certifying the
matters referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (x)(A) and (x)(B).

 

SECTION 2. Fees.

 

Section
2.1. Fees. (a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders
in accordance with their Percentages a commitment fee at a rate per annum equal to (x) 0.15% if the average daily Unused Commitments
are less than 50% of the Commitments then in effect and (y) 0.25% if the average daily Unused Commitments are greater than or equal
to 50% of the Commitments then in effect (in each case, computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days
elapsed) and determined based on the average daily Unused Commitments during such quarter. Such commitment fee shall be payable
quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September, and December in each year (commencing June 30, 2018) and on
the Termination Date, unless the Commitments are terminated in whole on an earlier date, in which event the commitment fee for
the period to the date of such termination in whole shall be calculated and paid on the date of such termination. Any such commitment
fee for the first quarter ending after the Closing Date shall be prorated according to the number of days this Agreement was in
effect during such quarter.

 

(b)          Letter
of Credit Fees. On the date of issuance or extension, or increase in the amount, of any Letter of Credit (other than with respect
to any deemed issuance hereunder on the Closing Date of any Existing Letter of Credit) pursuant to Section 1.3 hereof, the Borrower
shall pay to the L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee equal to 0.125% of the face amount of (or of the increase in the
face amount of) such Letter of Credit. Quarterly in arrears, on the last day of each March, June, September, and December, commencing
on the first such date occurring after the date hereof, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit
of the Lenders in accordance with their Percentages, a letter of credit fee (the “L/C Participation Fee”) at
a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual
number of days elapsed) in effect during each day of such quarter applied to the daily average face amount of Letters of Credit
outstanding during such quarter. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the L/C Issuer for its own account the L/C Issuer’s
customary issuance, drawing, negotiation, amendment, cancellation, assignment, and other administrative fees for each Letter of
Credit as established by the L/C Issuer from time to time.

 

(c)          Administrative
Agent and Other Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own use and benefit, the fees agreed to between
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in that certain fee letter dated March 14, 2018, or as otherwise agreed to in writing
between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders
and the Arrangers, as applicable, the fees agreed to between the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Borrower in that certain
fee letter dated March 14, 2018, or as otherwise agreed to in writing among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and

SECTION 3. Place
and Application of Payments.

 

Section
3.1. Place and Application of Payments. All payments of principal of and interest on the Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations,
and of all other Obligations payable by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall be made by the Borrower
to the Administrative Agent by no later than 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the due date thereof at the office of the Administrative
Agent in Chicago, Illinois (or such other location as the Administrative Agent may designate to the Borrower), for the benefit
of the Lender(s) or L/C Issuer entitled thereto. Any payments received after such time shall be deemed to have been received by
the Administrative Agent on the next Business Day. All such payments shall be made in U.S. Dollars, in immediately available funds
at the place of payment, in each case without set-off or counterclaim. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause
to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest on Loans and on Reimbursement Obligations in which
the Lenders have purchased Participating Interests ratably to the Lenders and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount
payable to any Lender to such Lender, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided,
that if the Administrative Agent does not distribute such funds to the Lenders on the date the Administrative Agent receives (or
is deemed to receive) payment from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter distribute such funds together
with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such payment from the Borrower was received
by the Administrative Agent (or the date the Administrative Agent was deemed to receive such payment) and ending on (but excluding)
the date the Administrative Agent distributes such funds to the Lenders, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for
each such day. If the Administrative Agent causes amounts to be distributed to the Lenders in reliance upon the assumption that
the Borrower will make a scheduled payment and such scheduled payment is not so made, each Lender shall, on demand, repay to the
Administrative Agent the amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period
commencing on the date such amount was distributed to such Lender and ending on (but excluding) the date such Lender repays such
amount to the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to: (i) from the date the distribution was made to the date two (2)
Business Days after payment by such Lender is due hereunder, the Federal Funds Rate for each such day and (ii) from the date two
(2) Business Days after the date such payment is due from such Lender to the date such payment is made by such Lender, the Base
Rate in effect for each such day.

 

Anything
contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding (including, without limitation, Section 1.8(b) hereof), all payments and collections
received in respect of the Obligations and all payments under or in respect of the Guaranties received, in each instance, by the
Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders after acceleration or the final maturity of the Obligations or termination of the Commitments
as a result of an Event of Default shall be remitted to the Administrative Agent and distributed as follows:

 

    	 	- 20 -	 

     

    

 

(a)          first,
to the payment of any outstanding costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in protecting, preserving or enforcing
rights under the Loan Documents, and in any event including all costs and expenses of a character which the Borrower has
agreed to pay the Administrative Agent under Section 12.15 hereof (such funds to be retained by the Administrative Agent for its
own account unless it has previously been reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Lenders, in which event such amounts shall
be remitted to the Lenders to reimburse them for payments theretofore made to the Administrative Agent);

 

(b)          second,
to the payment of the Swing Loans, both for principal and accrued but unpaid interest;

 

(c)          third,
to the payment of any outstanding interest and fees due under the Loan Documents to be allocated pro rata in accordance with the
aggregate unpaid amounts owing to each holder thereof;

 

(d)          fourth,
to the payment of principal on the Loans, unpaid Reimbursement Obligations, together with amounts to be held by the Administrative
Agent as collateral security for any outstanding L/C Obligations pursuant to Section 9.4 hereof (until the Administrative Agent
is holding an amount of cash equal to the then outstanding amount of all such L/C Obligations) and any Hedging Liability (other
than any Excluded Swap Obligation), the aggregate amount paid to, or held as collateral security for, the Lenders and L/C Issuer
and, in the case of Hedging Liability, their Affiliates to be allocated pro rata in accordance with the aggregate unpaid amounts
owing to each holder thereof;

 

(e)          fifth,
to the payment of all other unpaid Obligations and all other indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities of the Borrower and the
Guarantors evidenced by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Bank Product Obligations) to be allocated pro rata in
accordance with the aggregate unpaid amounts owing to each holder thereof; and

 

(f)          finally,
to the Borrower or whoever else may be lawfully entitled thereto.

 

Section
3.2. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan Party is made to
the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its
right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff 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,
such L/C Issuer 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 setoff
had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and each L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable
share (without duplication) 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 greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation for each such day.

Section
3.3. Account Debit. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to, solely during the continuation
of an Event of Default, charge any of the Borrower’s deposit accounts maintained with the Administrative Agent for the amounts
from time to time necessary to pay any then due Obligations; provided that the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the
Administrative Agent shall not be under an obligation to do so and the Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability to the
Borrower or any other Person for the Administrative Agent’s failure to do so.

 

SECTION 4. Guaranties.

 

Section
4.1. Guaranties. The payment and performance of the Obligations, Hedging Liability (other than any Excluded Swap Obligation),
and Bank Product Obligations shall at all times be guaranteed by AF REIT, Genie, each wholly-owned Subsidiary (that is a U.S. Person)
of the Borrower that owns an Unencumbered Pool Property, and each wholly-owned Subsidiary (that is a U.S. Person) of the Borrower
that owns an Unencumbered Pool Property Subsidiary, in each case pursuant to Section 13 hereof or pursuant to one or more guaranty

of a subsequent restatement of earnings by the Borrower) at the time it was delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders,
and if the applicable interest rate or fees calculated for any period were lower than they should have been had the correct information
been timely provided, then such Applicable Margin for such period shall be automatically recalculated using the correct Borrower
Information. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of any additional interest and fees due because
of such recalculation, and the Borrower shall pay within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such written notice such additional
interest or fees due to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender holding Commitments and Loans at the time the
additional interest and fee payment is received. Any recalculation of the Applicable Margin required by this provision shall survive
the termination of this Agreement, and this provision shall not in any way limit any of the Administrative Agent’s or any
Lender’s other rights under this Agreement.

or the nature of the Property owned or leased by it requires such licensing or qualifying, except in each case referred to in clause

of the most recent date such Schedule has been or was required pursuant to Section 8.5(l) hereof to be supplemented) Schedule 6.2
hereto is a correct and complete copy of the Organizational Chart. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock and other equity

on Schedule 6.2 as owned by AF REIT, the Borrower or a Subsidiary are owned, beneficially and of record, by AF REIT, the Borrower
or such Subsidiary or, with respect to any Controlled Affiliate or Unconsolidated Affiliate, such other Person as is set forth
on Schedule 6.2, and, in the case of such shares and other equity interests of any Guarantor and any Unencumbered Pool Property
Subsidiary, are owned free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens). Other than as publicly disclosed by AF REIT or
any Subsidiary of AF REIT in any filings with any securities exchange or the Securities and Exchange Commission or any successor
agency, there are no outstanding commitments or other obligations of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any Unencumbered Pool Property
Subsidiary to issue, and no options, warrants or other rights of any Person to acquire, any shares of any class of capital stock
or other equity interests of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any Unencumbered Pool Property Subsidiary (other than, in the case
of any such Unencumbered Pool Property Subsidiary, customary rights of a minority equity holder that would not allow such Unencumbered
Pool Property Subsidiary to cease to be a Controlled Affiliate).

 

Section
6.3. Authority and Validity of Obligations. The Borrower has full right and authority to enter into this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents executed by it, to make the borrowings herein provided for, and to perform all of its obligations hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents executed by it. Each Guarantor has full right and authority to enter into the Loan Documents
executed by it, to guarantee the Obligations, Hedging Liability (other than any Excluded Swap Obligation), and Bank Product Obligations,
and to perform all of its obligations under the Loan Documents executed by it. The Loan Documents delivered by the Borrower and
each Guarantor have been duly authorized, executed, and delivered by such Persons and constitute valid and binding obligations
of the Borrower and each Guarantor enforceable against them in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited
by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles
of equity (regardless of whether the application of such principles is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); and this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents do not, nor does the performance or observance by the Borrower or any Guarantor of any of
the matters and things herein or therein provided for, (a) contravene or constitute a default under any provision of law or any
judgment, injunction, order or decree binding upon the Borrower or any Guarantor or any provision of the organizational documents
(e.g., charter, certificate or articles of incorporation and by laws, certificate or articles of association and operating
agreement, partnership agreement, or other similar organizational documents) of the Borrower or any Guarantor, (b) contravene or
constitute a default under any covenant, indenture or agreement of or affecting the Borrower or any Guarantor or any of their Property,
in each case where such contravention or default, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect, or (c) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any Property of the Borrower or any Guarantor (other
than in favor of the Administrative Agent for its benefit and/or the benefit of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer).

of AF REIT on a national securities exchange). Neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor is engaged in the business of extending credit
for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System), and no part of the proceeds of any Loan or any other extension of credit made hereunder will be used to purchase
or carry any such margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any such margin stock, except,
in each case, in connection with any Restricted Payment permitted hereunder that is otherwise not in violation of Regulation U

(3)        the
Administrative Agent shall have received financing statement, tax, and judgment lien search results against any such New Guarantor
and such Real Property evidencing the absence of Liens, except for Permitted Liens or as otherwise permitted by Section 8.7 hereof.

 

(c)       In
the event that any Unencumbered Pool Property shall at any time cease to constitute an Eligible Property, (i) the Borrower shall,
as soon as reasonably possible after obtaining knowledge thereof, notify the Administrative Agent in writing of the same and (ii)
the Unencumbered Pool Value of such Unencumbered Pool Property shall automatically be deemed to be $0 at such time and at all times
after until such time as the same again qualifies as an Eligible Property. In the event that, at any time, the Unencumbered Pool
Requirements shall be violated, no Default or Event of Default shall result from said violation, and (A) the Borrower shall, as
soon as reasonably possible after obtaining knowledge thereof, notify the Administrative Agent in writing of the same, which written
notice shall include a designation by the Borrower of any Real Property or Real Properties, at the Borrower’s option, to
be discounted or deleted as Unencumbered Pool Properties in order to restore compliance with the Unencumbered Pool Requirements,
and (B) if discounted, the Unencumbered Pool Value of each such Real Property shall be deemed reduced to the maximum amount that
would result in compliance with the Unencumbered Pool Requirements, or, if deleted, each such Real Property shall automatically
cease to constitute an Unencumbered Pool Property from the date of such written notice until such time as the same is added by
the Borrower as an Unencumbered Pool Property in accordance with the preceding paragraph (provided that the addition of the same
at such time does not result in a violation of the Unencumbered Pool Requirements). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
in the event that any Unencumbered Pool Property shall cause any of the requirements set forth in the definition of “Unencumbered
Pool Requirements” not to be satisfied, such failure shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default, it being agreed
and understood that the only consequence of such Unencumbered Pool Property causing non- compliance with any such requirements
shall be the discounting or removal of such Real Property from the calculation of the Unencumbered Pool Value pursuant to this
Section 7.3(c).

 

(d)       Upon
not less than three (3) Business Days prior written notice from Borrower to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may, from time
to time, designate that a Real Property be deleted as an Unencumbered Pool Property; provided, however, that the
Borrower shall not be permitted to designate that a Real Property be deleted as an Unencumbered Pool Property without the consent
of the Required Lenders in their sole discretion if (i) such deletion would result in fewer than twelve (12) Unencumbered Pool
Properties, or (ii) such deletion would reduce the Unencumbered Pool Value below $250,000,000. Such notice shall be accompanied
by an Available Amount Certificate setting forth (i) the components of the Available Amount (in such detail as reasonably required
by the Administrative Agent) calculated on a pro forma basis (as of the most recent Available Amount Certificate delivered in accordance
with Section 8.5(d) or Section 8.5(n) hereof) after giving effect to such deletion of the designated Real Property as an Unencumbered
Pool Property, (ii) that no Default or Event of Default is then continuing (including after taking into account the deletion of
such Unencumbered Pool Property) and (iii) that such deletion shall not cause the other Unencumbered Pool Properties to violate
the Unencumbered Pool Requirements. Upon the deletion of a Real Property as an Unencumbered Pool Property (whether automatically
or as a result of an election by the Borrower, as described above), the Guarantor which owned such Real Property, but that does
not otherwise own any other Unencumbered Pool Property, shall, upon the Borrower’s written request, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement or, if applicable, its separate Guaranty and any other Loan Documents pursuant to lien releases
and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower shall not, and shall not
permit any Guarantor or Unencumbered Pool Property Subsidiary to, amend, modify or terminate any material contract or agreement

Subsidiary, result in the imposition of a Lien against any of its Property or (ii) with respect to all other Subsidiaries, have
a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower shall, and shall cause AF REIT and each Subsidiary to, and shall use commercially reasonable

Guarantor, and such default shall continue for a period of time sufficient to permit the acceleration of the maturity of any such
Indebtedness (whether or not such maturity is in fact accelerated);

 

(g)       any
judgment or judgments, writ or writs or warrant or warrants of attachment, or any similar process or processes, shall be entered

$10,000,000 (except to the extent fully covered by insurance pursuant to which the insurer has accepted liability therefor
in writing), and which remains undischarged, unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days;

Group, any plan administrator or any combination of the foregoing; or the PBGC shall institute proceedings under Title IV of ERISA
to terminate or to cause a trustee to be appointed to administer any Material Plan or a proceeding shall be instituted by a fiduciary

undismissed or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days; and

 

(l)       the
subordination provisions relating to the Incentive Listing Note (the “Subordination Provisions”) shall fail
to be enforceable by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms thereof, or any Loan Party (or any representative thereof)
shall, directly or indirectly, repudiate, challenge or contest in writing (i) the effectiveness, validity or enforceability of

Section 9.2.
Non-Bankruptcy Defaults. When any Event of Default (other than those described in subsection (j) or (k) of Section 9.1
hereof with respect to the Borrower) has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, by written notice to the
Borrower: (a) if so directed by the Required Lenders, terminate the remaining Commitments and all other obligations of the
Lenders hereunder on the date stated in such notice (which may be the date thereof); (b) if so directed by the Required
Lenders, declare the principal of and the accrued interest on all outstanding Loans to be forthwith due and payable and
thereupon all outstanding Loans, including both principal and interest thereon, shall be and become immediately due and
payable together with all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents without further demand, presentment, protest or
notice of any kind; and (c) if so directed by the Required Lenders, demand that, with respect to each Letter of Credit then
outstanding, the Borrower immediately either (i) pay to the Administrative Agent the full amount then available for drawing
thereunder, (ii) deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate amount
thereof or (iii) return or cause to be returned to L/C Issuer such Letter of Credit for cancellation, and the Borrower agrees
to immediately take such action and acknowledges and agrees that the Lenders would not have an adequate remedy at law for
failure by the Borrower to honor any such demand and that the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, shall
have the right to require the Borrower to specifically perform such undertaking whether or not any drawings or other
demands for payment have been made under any Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent, after giving notice to the Borrower
pursuant to Section 9.1(c) or this Section 9.2, shall also promptly send a copy of such notice to the other Lenders, but the
failure to do so shall not impair or annul the effect of such notice.

 

Section 9.3.
Bankruptcy Defaults. When any Event of Default described in subsections (j) or (k) of Section 9.1 hereof with respect to
the Borrower has occurred and is continuing, all outstanding Loans shall immediately become due and payable together with all
other amounts payable under the Loan Documents without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, the obligation of
the Lenders to extend further credit pursuant to any of the terms hereof shall immediately terminate and, with respect to
each Letter of Credit then outstanding, the Borrower immediately either (i) pay to the Administrative Agent the full amount
then available for drawing thereunder, (ii) deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount equal to 105% of
the aggregate amount thereof or (iii) return or cause to be returned to L/C Issuer such Letter of Credit for cancellation,
the Borrower acknowledging and agreeing that the Lenders would not have an adequate remedy at law for failure by the Borrower
to honor any such demand and that the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent on their behalf, shall have the right to require
the Borrower to specifically perform such undertaking whether or not any draws or other demands for payment have been made
under any of the Letters of Credit.

 

Section 9.4.
Collateral for Undrawn Letters of Credit. (a) If the prepayment of the amount available for drawing under any or all
outstanding Letters of Credit is required under Section 1.8(b), Section 1.14, Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 above, the Borrower
shall forthwith pay the amount required to be so prepaid, to be held by the Administrative Agent as provided in subsection
(b) below.

 

(b)          All
amounts prepaid pursuant to subsection (a) above shall be held by the Administrative Agent in one or more separate collateral accounts
(each such account, and the credit balances, properties, and any investments from time to time held therein, and any substitutions
for such account, any certificate of deposit or other instrument evidencing any of the foregoing and all proceeds of and earnings
on any of the foregoing being collectively called the “Collateral Account”) as security for, and for application
by the Administrative Agent (to the extent available) to, the reimbursement of any payment under any Letter of Credit then or thereafter
made by the L/C Issuer, and to the payment of the unpaid balance of all other Obligations (and to all Hedging Liability (other
than any Excluded Swap Obligation) and Bank Product Obligations). The Collateral Account shall be held in the name of and subject
to the exclusive dominion and control of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and
the L/C Issuer. If and when requested by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall invest funds held in the Collateral Account
from time to time in direct obligations of, or obligations the principal of and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed
by, the United States of America with a remaining maturity of one year or less, provided that the Administrative Agent is
irrevocably authorized to sell investments held in the Collateral Account when and as required to make payments out of the Collateral
Account for application to amounts then due and owing from the Borrower to the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders.
If the Borrower shall have made payment of all obligations referred to in subsection (a) above required under Section 1.8(b) hereof,
if any, at the request of the Borrower the Administrative Agent shall release to the Borrower amounts held in the Collateral Account
so long as at the time of the release and after giving effect thereto no Default or Event of Default is then continuing. If the
Borrower shall have made payment of all obligations referred to in subsection (a) above required under Section 9.2 or 9.3 hereof,
so long as no Letters of Credit, Commitments, Loans or other Obligations, Hedging Liability (other than any Excluded Swap Obligation),
or Bank Product Obligations remain outstanding, at the request of the Borrower the Administrative Agent shall release to the Borrower
any remaining amounts held in the Collateral Account.

 

    	 	- 83 -	 

     

    

  

(c)          At
any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one Business Day following the written request of the Administrative
Agent or any L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’
Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 1.14(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral
provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.

 

(i)          Grant
of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grant
to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuers, and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in all
such Cash Collateral as security for such Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations,
to be applied pursuant to clause (ii) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject
to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer as herein provided, or that the total
amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower shall, promptly upon demand by the Administrative
Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency
(after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

 

(ii)    
     Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash
Collateral provided under this Section 9.4 or Section 1.14 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the
satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations (including, as
to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral
was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

 

    	 	- 84 -	 

     

    

  

(iii)        Termination
of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure
shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 9.4(c) following (A) the elimination
of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (B)
the determination by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that,
subject to Section 1.14 the Person providing Cash Collateral and the L/C Issuer may agree (but shall not be obligated to) that
Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and provided further that
to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security
interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

 

SECTION 10. Change In Circumstances.

 

Section 10.1.
Change of Law. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if at any time any
Change in Law makes it unlawful for any Lender to make or continue to maintain any Eurodollar Loans or to perform its
obligations as contemplated hereby, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower and such Lender’s
obligations to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans under this Agreement shall be suspended until it is no longer unlawful for
such Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans. The Borrower shall prepay on demand the outstanding principal amount of any
such affected Eurodollar Loans, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts then due and payable to such
Lender under this Agreement; provided, however, subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
Borrower may then elect to borrow the principal amount of the affected Eurodollar Loans from such Lender by means of Base
Rate Loans from such Lender, which Base Rate Loans shall not be made ratably by the Lenders but only from such affected
Lender.

 

Section 10.2.
Unavailability of Deposits or Inability to Ascertain, or Inadequacy of, LIBOR. If on or prior to the first day of any
Interest Period for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans:

 

(a)          the
Administrative Agent in good faith determines that deposits in U.S. Dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to
it in the interbank eurodollar market for such Interest Period, or that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar
market adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable LIBOR, or

 

(b)          the
Required Lenders in good faith advise the Administrative Agent that (i) LIBOR as determined by the Administrative Agent will not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding their Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period or (ii) that
the making or funding of Eurodollar Loans becomes impracticable,

 

then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith
give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances
giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended.

 

    	 	- 85 -	 

     

    

  

If at any time the Administrative Agent determines
(which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a) above have arisen
and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a) have not arisen but the supervisor
for the administrator of the LIBOR Index Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has
made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBOR Index Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest
rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to LIBOR
that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in
the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest
and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 12.13,
such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the
Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is
provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.
Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this section, (x) any borrowing request that requests
the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, Eurodollar Loans shall be ineffective, and (y) any borrowing
request that requests a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, shall be made as a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans; provided that, if
such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.

 

Section 10.3.
Increased Cost and Reduced Return. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

 

(i)          subject
any Lender (or its Lending Office) or the L/C Issuer to any Tax (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses
(b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and (C) Connection Income Taxes) with respect to its Eurodollar Loans, its
Notes, its Letter(s) of Credit, or its participation in any thereof, any Reimbursement Obligations owed to it or its obligation
to make Eurodollar Loans, issue a Letter of Credit, or to participate therein; or

 

(ii)         impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement (including, without
limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding with respect to
any Eurodollar Loans any such requirement included in an applicable Eurodollar Reserve Percentage) against assets of, deposits
with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (or its Lending Office) or the L/C Issuer or shall impose on any
Lender (or its Lending Office) or the L/C Issuer or on the interbank market any other condition affecting its Eurodollar Loans,
its Notes, its Letter(s) of Credit, or its participation in any thereof, any Reimbursement Obligation owed to it, or its obligation
to make Eurodollar Loans, or to issue a Letter of Credit, or to participate therein;

 

and the result of any of the foregoing is to
increase the cost to such Lender (or its Lending Office) or the L/C Issuer of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan, issuing
or maintaining a Letter of Credit, or participating therein, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such
Lender (or its Lending Office) or the L/C Issuer under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document with respect thereto, by
an amount deemed by such Lender or L/C Issuer to be material, then, within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender or L/C
Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to such Lender or L/C Issuer such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer for such increased cost or reduction.

 

    	 	- 86 -	 

     

    

  

(b)          If
any Lender or L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or L/C Issuer or any lending office of such Lender
or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would
have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s
or L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans
made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by any L/C
Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company could
have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s policies and the
policies of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time,
within 15 days after demand by such Lender or L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such
Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer or such
Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

 

(c)          A
certificate of a Lender or L/C Issuer claiming compensation under this Section 10.3 and setting forth the additional amount or
amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive if reasonably determined absent manifest error. In determining such amount,
such Lender or L/C Issuer may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

 

(d)          Failure
or delay on the part of any Lender or L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver
of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be
required to compensate a Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered
more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change
in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation
therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month
period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

 

Section 10.4.
Lending Offices. Each Lender may, at its option, elect to make its Loans hereunder at the branch, office or affiliate
specified on the appropriate signature page hereof (each a “Lending Office”) for each type of Loan
available hereunder or at such other of its branches, offices or affiliates as it may from time to time elect and designate
in a written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. To the extent reasonably possible, a Lender shall designate
an alternative branch or funding office with respect to its Eurodollar Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such
Lender under Section 10.3 hereof or to avoid the unavailability of Eurodollar Loans under Section 10.2 hereof, so long as
such designation is not otherwise materially disadvantageous to the Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable
costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

 

    	 	- 87 -	 

     

    

 

Section 10.5.
Discretion of Lender as to Manner of Funding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Lender shall be
entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood,
however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder with respect to Eurodollar Loans shall be made
as if each Lender had actually funded and maintained each Eurodollar Loan through the purchase of deposits in the interbank
eurodollar market having a maturity corresponding to such Loan’s Interest Period, and bearing an interest rate equal to
LIBOR for such Interest Period.

 

SECTION 11. The
Administrative Agent.

 

Section 11.1.
Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer hereby appoints BMO Harris Bank
N.A. as the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action
as Administrative Agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated to the
Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of
this Section 11 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, and neither the
Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood
and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term)
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 as a matter of market custom, and is intended
to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

 

Section 11.2.
Administrative Agent and its Affiliates. The Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising such rights and power
as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from,
lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower
or any Affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. The term
“Lender” as used herein and in all other Loan Documents, unless the context otherwise clearly requires,
includes the Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender (if applicable).

 

Section 11.3.
Action by Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent receives from the Borrower a written notice of an Event of
Default pursuant to Section 8.5(k) hereof, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give each of the Lenders and L/C Issuer
written notice thereof. The obligations of the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents are only those expressly set
forth therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and its Related Parties shall not
be required to take any action hereunder with respect to any Default or Event of Default, except as expressly provided in
Sections 9.2 and 9.5. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, unless and until the Required Lenders give such direction,
the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take or refrain from taking such actions as it deems appropriate
and in the best interest of all the Lenders and L/C Issuer. In no event, however, shall the Administrative Agent be required
to take any action in violation of applicable Legal Requirements or of any provision of any Loan Document, and the
Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or under any other Loan
Document unless it first receives any further assurances of its indemnification from the Lenders that it may require,
including prepayment of any related expenses and any other protection it requires against any and all costs, expenses, and
liabilities which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent
shall be entitled to assume that no Default or Event of Default exists unless notified in writing to the contrary by a
Lender, the L/C Issuer, or the Borrower. In all cases in which the Loan Documents do not require the Administrative Agent to
take specific action, the Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in using its discretion in failing to take or in
taking any action thereunder. Any instructions of the Required Lenders, or of any other group of Lenders called for under the
specific provisions of the Loan Documents, shall be binding upon all the Lenders and the holders of the Obligations.

 

    	 	- 88 -	 

     

    

  

Section 11.4.
Consultation with Experts. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants, and
other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

 

Section 11.5.
Liability of Administrative Agent; Credit Decision. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers,
agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in connection with the Loan Documents: (i) with
the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or of any other group of Lenders called for under the specific
provisions of the Loan Documents) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction by final non-appealable judgment. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors,
officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify: (i) any
statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Credit Event;
(ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of AF REIT, the Borrower or any Subsidiary contained
herein or in any other Loan Document; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Section 7 hereof, except receipt
of items required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness, genuineness,
enforceability, perfection, value, worth or collectability hereof or of any other Loan Document or of any other documents or
writing furnished in connection with any Loan Document; and the Administrative Agent makes no representation of any kind or
character with respect to any such matter mentioned in this sentence. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties
under any of the Loan Documents by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the
Lenders, the L/C Issuer, the Borrower, or any other Person for the default or misconduct of any such agents or
attorneys-in-fact selected with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance
upon any notice, consent, certificate, other document or statement (whether written or oral) believed by it to be genuine or
to be sent by the proper party or parties. In particular and without limiting any of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent
shall have no responsibility for confirming the accuracy of any Compliance Certificate or other document or instrument
received by it under the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent may treat the payee of any Obligation as the holder thereof
until written notice of transfer shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent signed by such payee in form
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender and L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has independently and without
reliance on the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or L/C Issuer, and based upon such information, investigations and
inquiries as it deems appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to extend credit to the Borrower in the manner
set forth in the Loan Documents. It shall be the responsibility of each Lender and L/C Issuer to keep itself informed as to
the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and the Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any Lender
or L/C Issuer with respect thereto.

 

    	 	- 89 -	 

     

    

  

Section 11.6.
Indemnity. The Lenders shall ratably, in accordance with their respective Percentages, indemnify and hold the
Administrative Agent, and its directors, officers, employees, agents, and representatives harmless from and against any
liabilities, losses, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by it under any Loan Document or in connection with the
transactions contemplated thereby, regardless of when asserted or arising, except to the extent they are promptly reimbursed
for the same by the Borrower and except to the extent that any event giving rise to a claim was caused by the gross
negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct of the party seeking to be indemnified as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final non-appealable judgment. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 11.6 shall survive
termination of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to offset amounts received for the account of a
Lender under this Agreement against unpaid amounts due from such Lender to the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer, or Swing
Line Lender hereunder (whether as fundings of participations, indemnities or otherwise, and with any amounts offset for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent to be held by it for its own account and with any amounts offset for the benefit of a L/C
Issuer or Swing Line Lender to be remitted by the Administrative Agent to or for the account of such L/C Issuer or Swing Line
Lender, as applicable), but shall not be entitled to offset against amounts owed to the Administrative Agent or any L/C
Issuer or Swing Line Lender by any Lender arising outside of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

Section 11.7.
Resignation and Removal of Administrative Agent and Successor Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may
resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer, and the Borrower. Upon any such
resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative
Agent, which shall so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower.
If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such
appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation then the retiring
Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall so long as no Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, and which may be any Lender hereunder or
any commercial bank, or an Affiliate of a commercial bank, having an office in the United States of America and having a
combined capital and surplus of at least $200,000,000.

 

(b)          If
the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required
Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall so long as no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required
Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders)
(the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance
with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

 

    	 	- 90 -	 

     

    

  

(c)          Upon
the acceptance of its appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed
to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the prior Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, and the prior Administrative
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations thereunder. After any Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal
hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 11 and all protective provisions of the other Loan Documents
shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent, but no successor
Administrative Agent shall in any event be liable or responsible for any actions of its predecessor. If the Administrative Agent
resigns or is removed and no successor is appointed, the rights and obligations of such Administrative Agent shall be automatically
assumed by the Required Lenders and the Borrower shall be directed to make all payments due each Lender and L/C Issuer hereunder
directly to such Lender or L/C Issuer.

 

Section 11.8. L/C
Issuer and Swing Line Lender. The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit
issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the Swing Line Lender shall act on behalf of the Lenders with
respect to the Swing Loans made hereunder. The L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender shall have all of the benefits and
immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Section 11 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered
by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the Applications
pertaining to such Letters of Credit or by the Swing Line Lender in connection with Swing Loans made or to be made hereunder
as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent”, as used in this Section 11, included the L/C Issuer with respect
to such acts or omissions and (ii) as additionally provided in this Agreement with respect to such L/C Issuer or Swing Line
Lender, as applicable. Any resignation by the Person then acting as Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.7 shall also
constitute its resignation or the resignation of its Affiliate as L/C Issuer and Swingline Lender except as it may otherwise
agree. If such Person then acting as L/C Issuer so resigns, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of
the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C
Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto, including the right to require the Lenders to make Loans or fund risk
participations in Reimbursement Obligations pursuant to Section 1.3. If such Person then acting as Swing Line Lender resigns,
it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Loans made by it and
outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Loans or fund
risk participations in outstanding Swing Loans pursuant to Section 1.2(b). Upon the appointment by the Borrower of a
successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder (which successor shall in all cases be a Lender other than a
Defaulting Lender), (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and
duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable (other than any rights to indemnity payments or other
amounts that remain owing to the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender), and (ii) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line
Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents
other than with respect to its outstanding Letters of Credit and Swing Loans, and (iii) upon the request of the resigning L/C
Issuer, the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding
at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the resigning L/C Issuer to effectively assume the
obligations of the resigning L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

Section 11.9.
Hedging Liability and Bank Product Obligations. By virtue of a Lender’s execution of this Agreement or an
assignment agreement pursuant to Section 12.12 hereof, as the case may be, any Affiliate of such Lender with whom AF REIT,
the Borrower or any Subsidiary has entered into an agreement creating Hedging Liability or Bank Product Obligations shall be
deemed a Lender party hereto for purposes of any reference in a Loan Document to the parties for whom the Administrative
Agent is acting, it being understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of such Affiliate under the Loan Documents
consist exclusively of such Affiliate’s right to share in payments and collections out of the Guaranties as more fully
set forth in Section 3.1 hereof. In connection with any such distribution of payments and collections, or any request for the
release of the Guaranties and the Administrative Agent’s Liens in connection with the termination of the Commitments
and the payment in full of the Obligations, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume no amounts are due to any
Lender or its Affiliate with respect to Hedging Liability or Bank Product Obligations unless such Lender has notified the
Administrative Agent in writing of the amount of any such liability owed to it or its Affiliate prior to such distribution or
payment or release of Guaranties.

 

Section 11.10.
Designation of Additional Agents. The Administrative Agent shall have the continuing right, for purposes hereof, at any
time and from time to time to designate one or more of the Lenders (and/or its or their Affiliates) as “syndication
agents,” “documentation agents,” “book runners,” “lead arrangers,”
“arrangers” or other designations for purposes hereto, but such designation shall have no substantive effect, and
such Lenders and their Affiliates shall have no additional powers, duties or responsibilities as a result thereof.

 

Section 11.11.
Authorization to Enter into Subordination Agreement. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes
the Administrative Agent to enter into the Special Limited Partner Subordination Agreement, and any other subordination or
intercreditor agreement, on its behalf and to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of any such agreement. Each
Lender further agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Special Limited Partner Subordination Agreement and any
other subordination or intercreditor agreement. Each Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to issue
blockage notices at the direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders.

 

SECTION 12. Miscellaneous.

 

Section 12.1. Taxes.

 

(a)          Certain
Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section, the term “Lender” includes the L/C Issuer and the term “applicable
law” includes FATCA.

 

(b)          Payments
Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made
without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the
good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such
payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and
shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law
and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that
after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable
under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or
withholding been made.

 

    	 	- 92 -	 

     

    

  

(c)          Payment
of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance
with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

 

(d)          Indemnification
by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full
amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this
Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable
expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower
by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender,
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(e)          Indemnification
by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor,
for (i) any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already
indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan
Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.11 relating
to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable
or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with
respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.
A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set-off and apply any and all amounts at any time
owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source
against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this subsection (e).

 

(f)          Evidence
of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this
Section, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such
Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

 

    	 	- 93 -	 

     

    

 

(g)          Status
of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made
under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In
addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation
prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation
(other than such documentation set forth in Section 12.1(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the
Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed
cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

 

(ii)           Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing,

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(ii)         executed
originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

 

    	 	- 94 -	 

     

    

  

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

    	 	- 95 -	 

     

    

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Section 12.2. [Reserved].

 

Section 12.3. No
Waiver, Cumulative Remedies. No delay or failure on the part of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, or any Lender,
or on the part of the holder or holders of any of the Obligations, in the exercise of any power or right under any Loan
Document shall operate as a waiver thereof or as an acquiescence in any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. The rights and
remedies hereunder of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Lenders, and of the holder or holders of any of the
Obligations are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies which any of them would otherwise have.

 

Section 12.4.     Non-Business
Days. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date of such payment shall
be extended to the next succeeding Business Day on which date such payment shall be due and payable. In the case of any payment
of principal falling due on a day which is not a Business Day, interest on such principal amount shall continue to accrue during
such extension at the rate per annum then in effect, which accrued amount shall be due and payable on the next scheduled date for
the payment of interest.

 

    	 	- 96 -	 

     

    

  

Section 12.5.
Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties made herein or in any other Loan Document or in
certificates given pursuant hereto or thereto shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and shall continue in full force and effect with respect to the date as of which they were made as long as any
credit is in use or available hereunder.

 

Section 12.6.
Survival of Indemnities. All indemnities and other provisions relative to reimbursement to the Lenders and L/C Issuer of
amounts sufficient to protect the yield of the Lenders and L/C Issuer with respect to the Loans and Letters of Credit,
including, but not limited to, Sections 1.11, 10.3, and 12.15 hereof, shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents and the payment of the Obligations.

 

Section 12.7.
Sharing of Set-Off. Each Lender agrees with each other Lender a party hereto that if such Lender shall receive and retain
any payment, whether by set-off or application of deposit balances or otherwise, on any of the Loans or Reimbursement
Obligations in excess of its ratable share of payments on all such Obligations then outstanding to the Lenders, then such
Lender shall purchase for cash at face value, but without recourse, ratably from each of the other Lenders such amount of the
Loans or Reimbursement Obligations, or participations therein, held by each such other Lenders (or interest therein) as shall
be necessary to cause such Lender to share such excess payment ratably with all the other Lenders; provided, however, that
if any such purchase is made by any Lender, and if such excess payment or part thereof is thereafter recovered from such
purchasing Lender, the related purchases from the other Lenders shall be rescinded ratably and the purchase price restored as
to the portion of such excess payment so recovered, but without interest. For purposes of this Section 12.7, amounts owed to
or recovered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Reimbursement Obligations in which Lenders have been required to fund their
participation shall be treated as amounts owed to or recovered by the L/C Issuer as a Lender hereunder.

 

Section 12.8.
Notices. (a) Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be in
writing (including, without limitation, notice by telecopy) and shall be given to the relevant party at its address or
facsimile number set forth below, or such other address or facsimile number as such party may hereafter specify by notice to
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower given by courier, by United States certified or registered mail, by telecopy or by
other telecommunication device capable of creating a written record of such notice and its receipt. Notices under the Loan
Documents to any Lender shall be addressed to its address or facsimile number set forth on its Administrative Questionnaire;

Section 12.9.
Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. (a) Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be
executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an
original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire
contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 7.2, this Agreement
shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall
have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.
Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (e.g.,
“pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this
Agreement. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 7.2 hereof, each Lender and L/C
Issuer 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
or L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender or L/C Issuer prior to the Closing
Date specifying its objection thereto.

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

 

Section 12.10.
Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Borrower and the Guarantors and their successors and
assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, and each of the Lenders, and the benefit
of their respective successors and assigns, including any subsequent holder of any of the Obligations. The Borrower and the
Guarantors may not assign any of their rights or obligations under any Loan Document without the written consent of all of
the Lenders and, with respect to any Letter of Credit or the Application therefor, the L/C Issuer.

 

Section 12.11.
Participants. Each Lender shall have the right at its own cost to grant participations (to be evidenced by one or more
agreements or certificates of participation) in the Loans made and Reimbursement Obligations and/or Commitments held by such
Lender at any time and from time to time to one or more other Persons; provided that no such participation shall relieve any
Lender of any of its obligations under this Agreement, and, provided, further that no such participant shall have any rights
under this Agreement except as provided in this Section 12.11, and the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation or
responsibility to such participant. Any agreement pursuant to which such participation is granted shall provide that the
granting Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or
waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents, except that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not agree to any
modification, amendment or waiver of the Loan Documents that would reduce the amount of or postpone any fixed date for
payment of any Obligation in which such participant has an interest. Any party to which such a participation has been granted
shall have the benefits of Section 1.11 and Section 10.3 hereof. The Borrower and each Guarantor authorizes each Lender to
disclose to any participant or prospective participant under this Section 12.11 any financial or other information
pertaining to each Guarantor, the Borrower or any Subsidiary, provided that such participant or prospective participant shall
be subject to the provisions of Section 12.25.

 

Section 12.12.
Assignments. (a) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of such
Lender’s 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 any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

 

(i)          Minimum
Amounts. (A) In the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the
Loans and participation interest in L/C Obligations at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate
of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and (B) in any case not described in subsection (a)(i)(A)
of this Section 12.12, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans and participation interest
in L/C Obligations outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance
of the Loans and participation interest in L/C Obligations of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined
as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Effective
Date” is specified in the Assignment and Acceptance, as of the Effective Date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance)
shall not be less than $5,000,000 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 or delayed);

 

    	 	- 100 -	 

     

    

  

(ii)           Proportionate
Amounts. 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 Commitments assigned.

 

(iii)         Required
Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by Section 12.12(a)(i)(B) and, in addition:

 

(a)          the
consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or
an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object
thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof;

 

(b)          the
consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment
is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender;

 

(c)          the
consent of the L/C Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases
the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding);
and

 

(d)          the
consent of the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment
that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Swing Loans (whether or not then outstanding).

 

(iv)        Assignment
and Acceptance. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance,
together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

 

    	 	- 101 -	 

     

    

 

(v)         No
Assignment to Borrower, Guarantors, Affiliates or Defaulting Lenders. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrower,
any Subsidiary or any other Affiliate of the Borrower or (B) to a Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries or any Person, who,
upon becoming a Lender hereunder would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).

 

(vi)        No
Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

 

(vii)       Certain
Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such
assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the
assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution
thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other
compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata
share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor
hereby irrevocably consent) to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative
Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and
fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans in accordance
with its Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting
Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the
assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof
by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.12(b) hereof, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment
and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Acceptance, 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 Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance 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 12.6 and
12.15 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that except
to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver
or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment
or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 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 Section
12.11 hereof.

 

    	 	- 102 -	 

     

    

 

(b)          Register.
The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Chicago,
Illinois, a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses
of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) 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 absent
manifest error, 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. Each Lender or L/C Issuer that grants a participation as described in Section 12.11 shall, acting solely
for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and
the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans made and Reimbursement Obligations
and/or Commitments or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no
Lender or L/C Issuer shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including
the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Loans made and Reimbursement
Obligations and/or Commitments or other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary
to establish that such Obligation or Commitment is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations or
is otherwise required by this Agreement. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and
such Lender or L/C Issuer shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation
for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

 

(c)          Any
Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations
of such Lender, including any such pledge or grant to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 12.12 shall not apply to any such
pledge or grant of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release a Lender
from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or secured party for such Lender as a party hereto; provided
further, however, the right of any such pledgee or grantee (other than any Federal Reserve Bank) to further transfer all or
any portion of the rights pledged or granted to it, whether by means of foreclosure or otherwise, shall be at all times subject
to the terms of this Agreement.

 

(d)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, if at any time the Swing Line Lender assigns all of its Commitments and Revolving Loans pursuant
to subsection (a) above, the Swing Line Lender may terminate the Swing Line. In the event of such termination of the Swing Line,
the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint another Lender to act as the successor Swing Line Lender hereunder (with such Lender’s
consent); provided, however, that the failure of the Borrower to appoint a successor shall not affect the resignation of
the Swing Line Lender. If the Swing Line Lender terminates the Swing Line, it shall retain all of the rights of the Swing Line
Lender provided hereunder with respect to Swing Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such termination,
including the right to require Lenders to make Revolving Loans or fund participations in outstanding Swing Loans pursuant to Section
1.2 hereof.

Section 12.13.
Amendments. Subject to Section 10.2, any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may be amended or waived
if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by (a) the Borrower, (b) the Required Lenders, and (c)
if the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, or the Swing Line Lender are affected thereby, the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable; provided that:

 

(i)          no
amendment or waiver pursuant to this Section 12.13 shall (A) increase any Commitment of any Lender without the consent of such
Lender or (B) reduce the amount of or postpone the date for any scheduled payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan or
of any Reimbursement Obligation or of any fee payable hereunder without the consent of the Lender to which such payment is owing
or which has committed to make such Loan or Letter of Credit (or participate therein) hereunder, it being agreed and understood
that any change in any ratio used in the calculation of any interest or fees due hereunder (including any component definition
thereof) shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or fees hereunder; provided, however, that only the consent
of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the default rate provided in Section 1.9 or to waive any obligation of the
Borrower to pay interest or fees at the default rate as set forth therein;

 

(ii)         no
amendment or waiver pursuant to this Section 12.13 shall, unless signed by each Lender, extend the Termination Date, release the
Borrower or any Guarantor (except as provided for in this Agreement or in connection with any disposition permitted pursuant to
Section 8.9), change the definition of Required Lenders, change the provisions of this Section 12.13, affect the number of Lenders
required to take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or change the application of payments contained in Section
3.1; and

 

(iii)        no
amendment to Section 13 hereof shall be made without the consent of the Guarantors affected thereby.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
(1) no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment,
waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent
of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased
or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders
or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require
the consent of such Defaulting Lender, (2) if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower have jointly identified an obvious error
or any error or omission of a technical nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent
and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision, and (3) guarantees and related documents executed by the Borrower
or any other Loan Party in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and
may be amended, supplemented or waived without the consent of any Lender if such amendment, supplement or waiver is delivered in
order to (x) comply with local law or advice of local counsel, (y) cure ambiguities, omissions, mistakes or defects or (z) cause
such guarantee or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 12.14.
Headings. Section headings used in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the construction of this
Agreement.

 

Section 12.15.
Costs and Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and
expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, due diligence, investigation (including third party
expenses) negotiation, syndication, and administration of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the reasonable
and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of a single counsel to the arranger and Administrative Agent and a single
local counsel per jurisdiction necessary to the Administrative Agent), in connection with the preparation and execution of
the Loan Documents, and any amendment, waiver or consent related thereto, whether or not the transactions contemplated herein
are consummated. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, each Lender, and any other holder of
any Obligations outstanding hereunder, all documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred or paid by the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, such Lender, or any such holder, including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
attorneys’ fees and disbursements and court costs, in connection with any Default or Event of Default hereunder or in
connection with the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred in connection
with any proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code involving the Borrower or any Guarantor as a debtor thereunder).
The Borrower further agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, each Lender, and any security trustee
therefor, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, financial advisors, and consultants (each such Person
being called an “Indemnitee”) against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and
expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of counsel for
any such Indemnitee and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of litigation or preparation therefor, whether
or not the Indemnitee is a party thereto, or any settlement arrangement arising from or relating to any such litigation)
which any of them may pay or incur arising out of or relating to any Loan Document or any of the transactions contemplated
thereby or the direct or indirect application or proposed application of the proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit and any
such claim, demand, or liability for any broker’s or finder’s fees alleged to have been incurred by the
Borrower in connection herewith or therewith., other than other than (i) those which arise from the gross negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct of the party claiming indemnification, (ii) a material breach of such Indemnitee’s
obligations under the Loan Documents, as determined in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
or (iii) any dispute solely among Indemnitees (provided, that the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent in
any such dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender). The Borrower, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, the
L/C Issuer, or a Lender at any time, shall reimburse the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, or such Lender for any
reasonable legal or other expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for any
such Indemnitee) incurred in connection with investigating or defending against any of the foregoing (including any
settlement costs relating to the foregoing) except to the extent the same is due to the gross negligence, bad faith, or
willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified. To the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, the Borrower and
the Guarantors shall not assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for
special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection
with, or as a result of, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or
thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds
thereof. The obligations of the parties under this Section 12.15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. No
Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any
information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission
systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

 

    	 	- 105 -	 

     

    

  

(b)          The
Borrower unconditionally agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless, and covenants not to sue for any claim for contribution
against, each Indemnitee for any damages, loss or reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including without
limitation, response, remedial or removal costs and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of counsel
for any such Indemnitee, arising out of any of the following: (i) any Hazardous Material Activity at any of the Real Properties,
(ii) the violation of any Environmental Law by AF REIT, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or otherwise occurring on or with respect
to any Real Property, (iii) any claim for personal injury or property damage in connection with AF REIT, the Borrower or any Subsidiary
or otherwise occurring on or with respect to any Real Property, and (iv) the inaccuracy or breach of any environmental representation,
warranty or covenant by AF REIT, the Borrower or any Subsidiary made herein or in any other Loan Document evidencing or securing
any Obligations or setting forth terms and conditions applicable thereto or otherwise relating thereto, except for damages arising
from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of the relevant Indemnitee. This indemnification shall survive the payment
and satisfaction of all Obligations and the termination of this Agreement, and shall remain in force beyond the expiration of any
applicable statute of limitations and payment or satisfaction in full of any single claim under this indemnification. This indemnification
shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Borrower and shall inure to the benefit of each Indemnitee and its successors
and assigns.

 

(c)          This
Section 12.15 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from
any non-Tax claim.

 

(d)          Reimbursement
by Lenders. To the extent that (i) the Loan Parties for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection
(a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by any of them to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any L/C Issuer, any
Swing Line Lender or any Related Party or (ii) any liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses
or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever are imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, Administrative Agent, the L/C
Issuer, any Swing Line Lender or a Related Party in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
or any action taken or omitted to be taken by Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, any Swing Line Lender or a Related Party in
connection therewith, then, in each case, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent),
such L/C Issuer, such Swing Line Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined
as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s share
of the Credit Exposure at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by
such Lender); and provided, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense,
as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such L/C Issuer or such
Swing Line Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent
(or any such sub-agent), such L/C Issuer or any such Swing Line Lender in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the
Lenders under this subsection (d) are subject to the provisions of Section 12.3.

Section 12.16.
Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under the Loan Documents or applicable Legal Requirements and
not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, with the prior written consent of
the Administrative Agent, each Lender, the L/C Issuer, each subsequent holder of any Obligation, and each of their respective
affiliates, is hereby authorized by the Borrower and each Guarantor at any time or from time to time, without notice to the
Borrower or such Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set-off and to
appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by
certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, and in whatever currency denominated, but not including trust
accounts) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by that Lender, L/C Issuer, subsequent holder, or affiliate,
to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or such Guarantor, whether or not matured, against and on account of the
Obligations then due to that Lender, L/C Issuer, or subsequent holder under the Loan Documents, including, but not limited
to, all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether or
not (a) that Lender, L/C Issuer, or subsequent holder shall have made any demand hereunder or (b) the principal of or the
interest on the Loans and other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 9 and although
said obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured; provided that in the event that any
Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set-off shall be paid over immediately to the
Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.14 and, pending such
payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the
Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which
it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, each L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this
Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such L/C Issuer or
their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
validity of such setoff and application.

 

Section 12.17.
Entire Agreement. The Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding of the parties thereto with respect to the
subject matter thereof and any prior agreements, whether written or oral, with respect thereto are superseded hereby.

Section
12.18. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LEGAL
REQUIREMENTS, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).
EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR
OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B)
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE
MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

 

Section 12.19.
Severability of Provisions. Any provision of any Loan Document which is unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to
such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof
or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. All rights, remedies and powers
provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does
not violate any applicable mandatory provisions of law, and all the provisions of this Agreement and other Loan Documents are
intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law which may be controlling and to be limited to the extent
necessary so that they will not render this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents invalid or unenforceable.

 

Section 12.20.
Excess Interest. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, no such
provision shall require the payment or permit the collection of any amount of interest in excess of the maximum amount of
interest permitted by applicable Legal Requirements to be charged for the use or detention, or the forbearance in the
collection, of all or any portion of the Loans or other obligations outstanding under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document (“Excess Interest”). If any Excess Interest is provided for, or is adjudicated to be provided
for, herein or in any other Loan Document, then in such event (a) the provisions of this Section 12.20 shall govern and
control, (b) neither the Borrower nor any guarantor or endorser shall be obligated to pay any Excess Interest, (c) any Excess
Interest that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have received hereunder shall, at the option of the Administrative
Agent, be (i) applied as a credit against the then outstanding principal amount of Obligations hereunder and accrued and
unpaid interest thereon (not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable Legal Requirements), (ii) refunded to the
Borrower, or (iii) any combination of the foregoing, (d) the interest rate payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document
shall be automatically subject to reduction to the maximum lawful contract rate allowed under applicable usury laws (the
“Maximum Rate”), and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been, and shall
be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction in the relevant interest rate, and (e) neither the Borrower nor any
guarantor or endorser shall have any action against the Administrative Agent or any Lender for any damages whatsoever arising
out of the payment or collection of any Excess Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any period of time interest on
any of Borrower’s Obligations is calculated at the Maximum Rate rather than the applicable rate under this
Agreement, and thereafter such applicable rate becomes less than the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest payable on the
Borrower’s Obligations shall remain at the Maximum Rate until the Lenders have received the amount of interest which
such Lenders would have received during such period on the Borrower’s Obligations had the rate of interest not been
limited to the Maximum Rate during such period.

Section 12.21.
Construction. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Loan Documents shall not be construed more favorably in favor of
any party hereto based upon which party drafted the same, it being acknowledged that all parties hereto contributed
substantially to the negotiation of the Loan Documents. The provisions of this Agreement relating to Subsidiaries shall only
apply during such times as the Borrower has one or more Subsidiaries.

 

Section 12.22.
Lender’s and L/C Issuer’s Obligations Several. The obligations of the Lenders and L/C Issuer hereunder are
several and not joint. Nothing contained in this Agreement and no action taken by the Lenders or L/C Issuer pursuant hereto

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 to the

(A) any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations
under this Agreement or (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction
relating to AF REIT, the Borrower or any Subsidiary and its obligations, (g) with the prior written consent of the Borrower,
(h) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 12.25 or
(B) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer on a non-confidential basis from a source
other than AF REIT, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their directors, officers, employees or agents, including
accountants, legal counsel and other advisors; (i) on a confidential basis to rating agencies if requested or required by
such agencies in connection with a rating relating to the Loans or the Commitments hereunder, (j) so long as AF REIT’s
report on Form 8-K (or its equivalent) has been filed with the SEC, Gold Sheets and other similar bank trade publications
(such information to consist solely of deal terms and other information regarding the credit facilities evidenced by this
Agreement customarily found in such publications), or (k) so long as AF REIT’s report on Form 8-K (or its equivalent)
has been filed with the SEC, to entities which compile and publish information about the syndicated loan market, provided that
only basic information about the pricing and structure of the transaction evidenced hereby may be disclosed pursuant to this
subsection (k). For purposes of this Section 12.25, “Information” means all information received from AF
REIT, the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries or from any other Person on behalf of AF REIT, the Borrower or any Subsidiary
relating to AF REIT, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information
that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure
by AF REIT, the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries or from any other Person on behalf of AF REIT, the Borrower or any of
the Subsidiaries provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries 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.

Section 12.26. No
Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including
in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each Loan Party
acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (a) (i) no fiduciary, advisory or agency
relationship between any Loan Party and its Subsidiaries and the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, or any Lender is
intended to be or has been created in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents,
irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, or any Lender has advised or is advising any Loan Party or
any of its Subsidiaries on other matters, (ii) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between such Loan
Parties and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, and the Lenders, on the other
hand, (iii) each Loan Party has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent that it has
deemed appropriate and (iv) each Loan Party is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and
conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; and (b) (i) the Administrative Agent, the
L/C Issuer, and the Lenders each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by
the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for any Loan Party or
any of its Affiliates, or any other Person; (ii) none of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, and the Lenders has any
obligation to any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those
obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer,
and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged, for their own accounts or the accounts of customers, in a

the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, and the Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to any Loan
Party or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Loan Party hereby waives and releases any claims that
it may have against the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, and the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of
agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

 

Section
12.27. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in

or any other Loan Document; or

 

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

SECTION 13. The Guarantees.

 

Section 13.1. The
Guarantees. To induce the Lenders to provide the credits described herein and in consideration of benefits expected to
accrue to the Borrower by reason of the Commitments and for other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, each Guarantor party hereto (including any Guarantor formed or acquired after the Closing Date executing an
separate Guaranty or an Additional Guarantor Supplement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G or such other form
acceptable to the Administrative Agent) hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly and severally, to the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and their Affiliates, the due and punctual payment of all present and future Obligations,
Hedging Liability and Bank Product Obligations, including, but not limited to, the due and punctual payment of principal of
and interest on the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations, Hedging Liability, and Bank Product Obligations, and the due and
punctual payment of all other obligations now or hereafter owed by the Borrower under the Loan Documents as and when the same
shall become due and payable, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise, according to the terms hereof and
thereof (including all interest, costs, fees, and charges after the entry of an order for relief against the Borrower or such
other obligor in a case under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any similar proceeding, whether or not such interest,
costs, fees and charges would be an allowed claim against the Borrower or any such obligor in any such proceeding); provided,
however, that with respect to any Guarantor, its Guarantee of Hedging Liability of the Borrower or any Guarantor shall
exclude all Excluded Swap Obligations. In case of failure by the Borrower or other obligor punctually to pay any obligations
guaranteed hereby, each Guarantor hereby unconditionally agrees to make such payment or to cause such payment to be made
punctually as and when the same shall become due and payable, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise, and
as if such payment were made by the Borrower or such obligor.

 

    	 	- 112 -	 

     

    

 

 

 

Section
13.2. Guarantee Unconditional. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Section 13 shall be unconditional and absolute
and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged, or otherwise affected by:

 

(a)       any
extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver, or release in respect of any obligation of the Borrower or other obligor or
of any other guarantor under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or by operation of law or otherwise;

 

(b)       any
modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement relating to Hedging Liability
or Bank Product Obligations;

 

(c)       any
change in the corporate existence, structure, or ownership of, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, or other similar
proceeding affecting, the Borrower or other obligor, any other guarantor, or any of their respective assets, or any resulting release
or discharge of any obligation of the Borrower or other obligor or of any other guarantor contained in any Loan Document;

 

(d)       the
existence of any claim, set-off, or other rights which the Borrower or other obligor or any other guarantor may have at any time
against the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any other Person, whether or not arising in connection herewith;

 

(e)       any
failure to assert, or any assertion of, any claim or demand or any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any rights or remedies
against the Borrower or other obligor, any other guarantor, or any other Person or Property;

 

(f)       any
application of any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any obligation of the Borrower or other obligor, regardless
of what obligations of the Borrower or other obligor remain unpaid;

 

(g)       any
invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Borrower or other obligor or any other guarantor for any reason of this
Agreement or of any other Loan Document or any agreement relating to Hedging Liability (other than any Excluded Swap Obligation)
or Bank Product Obligations, or any provision of applicable Legal Requirements purporting to prohibit the payment by the Borrower
or other obligor or any other guarantor of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any Reimbursement Obligation or any other
amount payable under the Loan Documents or any agreement relating to Hedging Liability (other than any Excluded Swap Obligation)
or Bank Product Obligations; or

 

(h)       any
other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any other Person or any other circumstance
whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the obligations of
any Guarantor under this Section 13.

 

    	 	- 113 -	 

     

    

 

Section
13.3. Discharge Only upon Payment in Full; Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances. Each Guarantor’s obligations under
this Section 13 shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments are terminated, all Letters of Credit have expired,
and the principal of and interest on the Loans and all other amounts payable by the Borrower and the Guarantors under this
Agreement and all other Loan Documents and, if then outstanding and unpaid, all Hedging Liability (other than any Excluded Swap
Obligation) and Bank Product Obligations have been paid in full. If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on
any Loan or any Reimbursement Obligation or any other amount payable by the Borrower or other obligor or any Guarantor under the
Loan Documents or any agreement relating to Hedging Liability (other than any Excluded Swap Obligation) or Bank Product Obligations
is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of the Borrower or other
obligor or of any guarantor, or otherwise, each Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 13 with respect to such payment
shall be reinstated at such time as though such payment had become due but had not been made at such time.

 

Section
13.4. Subrogation. Each Guarantor agrees it will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of subrogation by any
payment made hereunder, or otherwise, until all the obligations guaranteed hereby shall have been paid in full subsequent to the
termination of all the Commitments and expiration of all Letters of Credit. If any amount shall be paid to a Guarantor on account
of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the later of (x) the payment in full of the Obligations, Bank Product Obligations
and Hedging Liability (other than any Excluded Swap Obligation) and all other amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents and (y) the termination of the Commitments and expiration of all Letters of Credit, such amount shall
be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (and their Affiliates) and shall forthwith be paid
to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders (and their Affiliates) or be credited and applied upon the Obligations,
Bank Product Obligations (other than any Excluded Swap Obligation) and Hedging Liability, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement.

 

Section
13.5. Waivers. Each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest, and any notice except as
specifically provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by the Administrative Agent,
any Lender, or any other Person against the Borrower or other obligor, another guarantor, or any other Person.

 

Section
13.6. Limit on Recovery. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the right of recovery against each Guarantor under this
Section 13 shall not exceed $1.00 less than the lowest amount which would render such Guarantor’s obligations under this
Section 13 void or voidable under applicable Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, fraudulent conveyance law.

 

Section
13.7. Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Borrower or other obligor
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement relating to Hedging Liability (other than any Excluded Swap Obligation)
or Bank Product Obligations, is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or such obligor, all such
amounts (other than any Excluded Swap Obligation) otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents or any agreement relating to Hedging Liability or Bank Product Obligations, shall nonetheless be payable by the
Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent made at the request of the Required Lenders.

 

    	 	- 114 -	 

     

    

 

Section
13.8. Benefit to Guarantors. The Borrower and the Guarantors are engaged in related businesses and integrated to such an extent
that the financial strength and flexibility of the Borrower has a direct impact on the success of each Guarantor. Each Guarantor
will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the extensions of credit hereunder.

 

Section
13.9. Guarantor Covenants. Each Guarantor shall take such action as the Borrower is required by this Agreement to cause such
Guarantor to take, and shall refrain from taking such action as the Borrower is required by this Agreement to prohibit such Guarantor
from taking.

 

Section
13.10. Subordination. Each Guarantor (each referred to herein as a “Subordinated Creditor”) hereby subordinates
the payment of all indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities of the Borrower or any other Guarantor owing to such Subordinated
Creditor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Obligations, Hedging Liability
(other than any Excluded Swap Obligation) and Bank Product Obligations. During the continuance of any Event of Default or Default
under Sections 9.1 (a), (j) or (k), subject to Section 13.4, any such indebtedness, obligation, or liability of the Borrower or
any other Guarantor owing to such Subordinated Creditor shall be enforced and performance received by such Subordinated Creditor
as trustee for the benefit of the holders of the Obligations, Hedging Liability (other than any Excluded Swap Obligation) and Bank
Product Obligations and, upon the acceleration of the Indebtedness under Section 9.2 or 9.3 hereof, the proceeds thereof shall
be paid over to the Administrative Agent for application to the Obligations, Hedging Liability (other than any Excluded Swap Obligation)
and Bank Product Obligations (whether or not then due), but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor
under this Section 13.

 

Section
13.11. Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes
to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by the Borrower and each other Guarantor to honor all
of its obligations in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under
this Section for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this
Section as it relates to such Borrower or other Guarantor, voidable under applicable Legal Requirements relating to fraudulent
conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this
Section shall remain in full force and effect until discharged in accordance with Section 13.3. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends
that this Section constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement”
for the benefit of the Borrower and each other Guarantor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange
Act.

The amount of Annual Rent shall be reviewed on each Review Date to equal:

	
 
	
7.2.1

in the open market;

with vacant possession;

	
 
	
(d)
	
without a fine or a premium;

	
 
	
(e)
	
for a term equal to the Contractual Term; and 

	
 
	
(f)
	
otherwise on the terms of this lease other than as to the amount of the Annual Rent but including the provisions for review of the Annual Rent, and other than the provision in this lease for a rent-free period;

	
 
	
7.5.2
	
the willing lessee has had the benefit of any rent-free or other concession or contribution which would be offered in the open market at the relevant Review Date in relation to fitting out works at the Property;

7.5.4
	
the Landlord and the Tenant have fully complied with their obligations in this lease;

7.5.8
	
the willing lessee and its potential assignees and undertenants shall not be disadvantaged by any actual or potential exercise of an option to tax under Part 1 of Schedule 10 to the VATA 1994 in relation to the Property.

	
 
	
7.6
	
The matters to be disregarded are:

	
 
	
7.6.1
	
any effect on rent of the fact that the Tenant or any authorised undertenant has been in occupation of the Property;

	
 
	
7.6.2

7.7
	
The Surveyor shall be an independent valuer who is a Member or Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. The Landlord and the Tenant may, by agreement, appoint the Surveyor at any time before either of them applies to the President for the Surveyor to be appointed. Any application to the President may not be made earlier than three months before the relevant Review Date.

	
 
	
7.8
	
The Surveyor shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator. The Surveyor shall determine the open market rent. The Surveyor's decision shall be given in writing.

7.9
	
The Surveyor shall give the Landlord and the Tenant an opportunity to make written representations to the Surveyor and to make written counter-representations commenting on the representations of the other party to the Surveyor.

20
	
 

 

 

	
 
		
documents as the Surveyor reasonably requires for the purpose of reaching a decision.

	
 
	
7.10
	
If the Surveyor dies, or becomes unwilling or incapable of acting, or unreasonably delays in making any determination, then either the Landlord or the Tenant may apply to the President to discharge the Surveyor and clause 7.7  shall then apply in relation to the appointment of a replacement.

	
 
	
7.11
	
The fees and expenses of the Surveyor and the cost of the Surveyor's appointment and any counsel's fees, or other fees, incurred by the Surveyor shall be payable by the Landlord and the Tenant in the proportions that the Surveyor directs (or if the Surveyor makes no direction, then equally). If the Tenant does not pay its part of the Surveyor's fees and expenses within ten Working Days after demand by the Surveyor, the Landlord may pay that part and the amount it pays shall be a debt of the Tenant due and payable on demand to the Landlord. The Landlord and the Tenant shall otherwise each bear their own costs in connection with the rent review. 

	
 
	
7.12
	
If the revised Annual Rent has not been agreed by the Landlord and the Tenant or determined by the Surveyor on or before the relevant Review Date, the Annual Rent payable beginning on that Review Date shall continue at the rate payable immediately before that Review Date. No later than five Working Days after the revised Annual Rent is agreed or the Surveyor’s determination is notified to the Landlord and the Tenant, the Tenant shall pay:

	
 
	
7.12.1
	
the shortfall (if any) between the amount that it has paid for the period beginning on the Review Date and ending on the Rent Payment Date following the date of agreement or notification of the revised Annual Rent and the amount that would have been payable had the revised Annual Rent been agreed or determined on or before that Review Date; and

	
 
	
7.12.2
	
interest at the Interest Rate on that shortfall calculated on a daily basis by reference to the Rent Payment Dates on which parts of the shortfall would have been payable if the revised Annual Rent had been agreed or determined on or before that Review Date and the date payment is received by the Landlord.

	
 
	
7.13
	
Time shall not be of the essence for the purposes of this clause.

	
 
	
7.14
	
If at any time there is a guarantor, the guarantor shall not have any right to participate in the review of the Annual Rent.

	
 
	
7.15
	
As soon as practicable after the amount of the revised Annual Rent has been agreed or determined, a memorandum recording the amount shall be signed by or on behalf of the Landlord and the Tenant and endorsed on or attached to this lease and its counterpart.

8.7

8.8
	
In relation to the Service Charge Year current at the date of this lease, the Tenant’s obligations to pay the estimated Service Charge and the actual Service Charge shall be limited to an apportioned part of those amounts, such apportioned part to be calculated on a daily basis for the period beginning on the date of this lease and ending on the last day of the Service Charge Year. The estimated Service Charge for which the Tenant is liable shall be paid in equal instalments on the date of this lease 

 

			
	
 
	
25

As soon as reasonably practicable after the end of each Service Charge Year, the Landlord shall prepare and send to the Tenant a certificate showing:

	
 
	
(a)
	
the Service Charge Cap for that Service Charge Year;

	
 
	
(b)
	
the Service Costs and the Service Charge for that Service Charge Year provided that if the Service Charge exceeds the Service Charge Cap for that Service Charge Year the certificate shall also specify the amount actually payable by the Tenant in accordance with clause 8.11. 

	
 
	
8.10
	
If any cost is omitted from the calculation of the Service Charge in any Service Charge Year, the Landlord shall be entitled to include it in the estimate and certificate of the Service Charge in any following Service Charge Year. Otherwise, and except in the case of manifest error, the Service Charge certificate shall be conclusive as to all matters of fact to which it refers.

	
 
	
8.11
	
If, in respect of any Service Charge Year, the Landlord’s estimate of the Service Charge is less than the Service Charge, the Tenant shall pay the difference on demand provided that if the Service Charge exceeds the Service Charge Cap for that Service Charge Year the Tenant shall only be obliged to pay the difference between the estimate of the Service Charge and the Service Charge Cap. If, in respect of any Service Charge Year, the Landlord’s estimate of the Service Charge is more than the Service Charge, the Landlord shall credit the difference against the Tenant’s next instalment of the estimated Service Charge (and, where the difference exceeds the next instalment, then the balance of the difference shall be credited against each succeeding instalment until it is fully credited).

	
 
	
8.12
	
The Service Charge Cap shall be reviewed on each Service Charge Cap Review Date to the Indexed Service Charge Cap. If there is any change to the methods used to compile the RPI, including any change to the items from which the All Items index of the RPI is compiled, or if the reference base used to compile the RPI changes the calculation of the Indexed Service Change Cap shall be made taking into account the effect of this change.

	
 
	
8.13
	
The Indexed Service Charge Cap shall be determined at the Service Charge Cap Review Date by multiplying the Service Charge Cap by the All Items index value of the RPI for the month before the month in which the Service Charge Cap Review Date falls then dividing the product by the All Items index value of the RPI for the Base RPI Month. 

	
 
	
8.14
	
Without prejudice to the foregoing there shall be no Service Charge Cap after the third anniversary of this Lease and for the avoidance of doubt clauses 8.6, 8.7, 8.9 and 8.11 shall from that date be read and construed as if they contained no reference to a Service Charge Cap. Clauses 8.12 and 8.13 shall cease to apply. 

	
 
	
8.15
	
The restriction of the amount of Service Charge and the estimated Service Charge payable by the Tenant shall have no effect in respect of, and is without prejudice to, any other sums payable by the Tenant under this lease. 

	
 
	
8.16
	
The Landlord may in its reasonable discretion from time to time withhold, add to, extend or vary the Services or any of them if the Landlord reasonably deems it 

 

			
	
 
	
26
	
 

 

 

	
 
		
necessary or desirable to do so for the more efficient management of the Building or the Estate (as appropriate). 

	
 
	
8.17
	
If at any time during the Term (and on more than one occasion):-

	
 
	
8.17.1
	
the total property enjoying or capable of enjoying the benefit of any of the Services is varied on a permanent basis; or

	
 
	
8.17.2
	
if it is otherwise equitable to do so

	

	
the Tenant's Proportion may at the instigation of the Landlord be varied with effect from the end of the then current Service Charge Period.

10.1
