3  US_Active\116390121\V-6  Applicable Margin.

The Applicable Margin  shall not be adjusted based upon such ratio, if at all, until the first (1st) Business Day following  the delivery by Parent to the Agent of the Compliance Certificate at the end of a calendar quarter.   In the event that Parent shall fail to deliver to the Agent a quarterly Compliance Certificate on or  before the date required by §7.4(c), then without limiting any other rights of the Agent and the  Lenders under this Agreement, the Applicable Margin shall be at Pricing Level 5 until such failure  is cured within any applicable cure period, in which event the Applicable Margin shall adjust, if  necessary, on the first (1st) Business Day following receipt of such Compliance Certificate.  In the event that the Agent and Parent determine that any financial statements previously delivered  were incorrect or inaccurate (regardless of whether this Agreement or the Commitments are in  

 

4  US_Active\116390121\V-6  effect when such inaccuracy is discovered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to  the application of a higher Applicable Margin for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the  Applicable Margin applied for such Applicable Period, then (i) Parent shall as soon as practicable  deliver to the Agent the corrected financial statements for such Applicable Period, (ii) the  Applicable Margin shall be determined as if the Pricing Level for such higher Applicable Margin  were applicable for such Applicable Period, and (iii) the Borrower shall within five (5) Business  Days of demand thereof by the Agent pay to the Agent the accrued additional amount owing as a  result of such increased Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period, which payment shall be  promptly applied by the Agent in accordance with this Agreement.  (b) From and after the time that Agent first receives written notice from Borrower that  Borrower and/or Parent has first obtained an Investment Grade Rating and that Borrower elects to  use such Investment Grade Rating as the basis for the Applicable Margin, the Applicable Margin  shall mean, as of any date of determination, a percentage per annum determined by reference to  the Credit Rating Level as set forth below (provided that any accrued interest payable at the  Applicable Margin determined by reference to the ratio of Consolidated Total Indebtedness to  Consolidated Total Asset Value shall be payable as provided in §2.6):    Pricing  Level  Credit Rating Level Revolving  Credit  LIBOR  Rate Loans  Revolving  Credit Base  Rate Loans  Term  LIBOR  Rate  Loans  Term  Base Rate  Loans  1 Credit Rating Level 1 0.775% 0.00% 0.85% 0.00%  2 Credit Rating Level 2 0.825% 0.00% 0.90% 0.00%  3 Credit Rating Level 3 0.90% 0.00% 1.00% 0.00%  4 Credit Rating Level 4 1.10% 0.10% 1.25% 0.25%  5 Credit Rating Level 5 1.45% 0.45% 1.65% 0.65%  At such time as this subparagraph (b) is applicable, the Applicable Margin for each Base Rate  Loan shall be determined by reference to the Credit Rating Level in effect from time to time, and  the Applicable Margin for any Interest Period for all LIBOR Rate Loans comprising part of the  same borrowing shall be determined by reference to the Credit Rating Level in effect on the first  (1st) day of such Interest Period; provided, however that no change in the Applicable Margin  resulting from the application of the Credit Rating Levels or a change in the Credit Rating Level  shall be effective until three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Agent receives written  notice of the application of the Credit Rating Levels or a change in such Credit Rating Level.  From  and after the first time that the Applicable Margin is based on Borrower’s or Parent’s Credit Rating  Level, the Applicable Margin shall no longer be calculated by reference to the ratio of Consolidated  Total Indebtedness to Consolidated Total Asset Value.

The outstanding amount of the Term Loans A set forth on Agent’s Record shall be prima facie  evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to each Term Loan A Lender, but the  failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on Agent’s Record shall not limit  or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any Term Loan A Note to  make payments of principal of or interest on any Term Loan A Note when due.

The Unused Fee shall be payable  quarterly in arrears on the first (1st) day of each calendar quarter for the immediately preceding  calendar quarter or portion thereof, and on any earlier date on which the Revolving Credit  Commitments shall be reduced or shall terminate as provided in §2.4, with a final payment on the  Revolving Credit Maturity Date.    (b) From and after the date that Agent receives written notice that Borrower  and/or Parent has first obtained an Investment Grade Rating and that Borrower has irrevocably  elected to have the Applicable Margin determined pursuant to subparagraph (b) of the definition  of Applicable Margin, the Unused Fee shall no longer accrue (but any accrued Unused Fee shall  be payable as provided in §2.3(a)), and from and thereafter, Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent  for the account of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment  Percentages a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) calculated at the rate per annum set forth below based  upon the applicable Credit Rating Level on the Total Revolving Credit Commitment:  Credit Rating Level Facility Fee Rate  Credit Rating Level 1 0.125%  Credit Rating Level 2 0.15%  Credit Rating Level 3 0.20%  Credit Rating Level 4 0.25%  Credit Rating Level 5 0.30%  The Facility Fee shall be calculated for each day and shall be payable quarterly in arrears  on the first (1st) day of each fiscal quarter for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter or portion  thereof, and on any earlier date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be reduced or  shall terminate as provided in §2.4, with a final payment on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.   The Facility Fee shall be determined by reference to the Credit Rating Level in effect from time to  time; provided, however, that no change in the Facility Fee rate resulting from a change in the  Credit Rating Level shall be effective until three (3) Business Days after the date on which the  Agent receives written notice of a change.  (c) Term Loan B Unused Fee.  During the period commencing on May 12, 2021  and ending on the last day of the Term Loan B Commitment Period, the Borrower agrees to pay  to the Agent for the account of the Term Loan B Lenders (other than a Defaulting Lender for such  period of time as such Term Loan B Lender is a Defaulting Lender) in accordance with their  respective Term Loan B Commitment Percentages a term loan facility unused fee calculated for  each day during such period at the rate of 0.25% per annum on the average daily amount by which  the Total Term Loan B Commitment (as the same may be permanently reduced by written request  of Borrower in accordance with §2.5(b)) exceeds the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans.   The term loan facility unused fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each  calendar quarter for the immediately preceding calendar quarter or portion thereof.  

 

49  US_Active\116390121\V-6  §2.4 Reduction and Termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments.  The Borrower  shall have the right at any time and from time to time upon three (3) Business Days’ prior written  notice to the Agent to reduce by $5,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000.00 in excess  thereof (provided that in no event shall the Total Revolving Credit Commitment be reduced in  such manner to an amount less than $40,000,000.00, other than in the case of a termination of the  facility by the Borrower) or to terminate entirely the unborrowed portion of the Revolving Credit  Commitments (provided that such termination would not result in the Revolving Credit  Commitment being reduced to an amount less than $40,000,000.00), whereupon the Revolving  Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be reduced pro rata in accordance with  their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages of the amount specified in such notice  or, as the case may be, terminated, any such termination or reduction to be without penalty except  as otherwise set forth in §4.8; provided, however, that no such termination or reduction shall be  permitted if, after giving effect thereto, the sum of Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and the  Letter of Credit Liabilities would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving  Credit Lenders as so terminated or reduced.  Promptly after receiving any notice from the Borrower  delivered pursuant to this §2.4, the Agent will notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of the substance  thereof.  Any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments to an amount less than  $50,000,000.00 shall also result in a proportionate reduction (rounded to the next lowest integral  multiple of $100,000.00) in the maximum amount of Letters of Credit.  Upon the effective date of  any such reduction or termination, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the respective accounts  of the Revolving Credit Lenders the full amount of any facility fee under §2.3 then accrued on the  amount of the reduction.  No reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments may  be reinstated.  §2.5 Requests for Term Loans B during Term Loan B Commitment Period; Reduction  of Term Loan B Commitment during Term Loan B Commitment Period.    (a) For each Term Loan B which Borrower requests during the Term Loan B  Commitment Period in accordance with §2.2, except with respect to the initial Term Loan B on  the Closing Date, the Borrower shall give to the Agent written notice executed by an Authorized  Officer in the form of Exhibit J hereto (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing in the form of  Exhibit J hereto) by 12:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) one (1) Business Day prior to the  proposed Drawdown Date with respect to Base Rate Loans and two (2) Business Days prior to the  proposed Drawdown Date with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans (a “Term Loan Request”).  Each  such notice shall specify with respect to the requested Term Loan B the proposed principal amount  of such Term Loan B, the Type of Term Loan B, the initial Interest Period (if applicable) for such  Term Loan B and the Drawdown Date.  Each such notice shall also contain (i) a general statement  as to the purpose for which such advance shall be used (which purpose shall be in accordance with  the terms of §2.9) and (ii) a certification by the chief financial officer or controller of Parent that  the Borrower, the Guarantors and each Unencumbered Property Subsidiary are and will be in  compliance with all covenants under the Loan Documents after giving effect to the making of such  Term Loan B.  Promptly upon receipt of any such notice, the Agent shall notify each of the Term  Loan B Lenders thereof. Each such Term Loan B Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the  Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept the Term Loan B requested from the Term  Loan B Lenders on the proposed Drawdown Date.  Each Term Loan B Request shall be for a Term  Loan B in a minimum aggregate amount of $7,500,000.00 or an integral multiple of $7,500,000.00  in excess thereof (or such lesser amount as may be undrawn, in which case such Loan Request  

 

50  US_Active\116390121\V-6  shall be the final Term Loan B Request permitted hereunder and shall be for the total undrawn  amount). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, there shall be no more than  ten (10) LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding at any one time.   (b) The Borrower shall have the right at any time from time to time during the  Term Loan B Commitment Period upon three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent  to reduce, by $5,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000.00 in excess thereof, the  unborrowed portion of the Term Loan B Commitments (it being understood, for the avoidance of  doubt, that any previously borrowed portion of the Term Loan B Commitments which has been  repaid shall not in any event be deemed to be unborrowed for purposes hereof), whereupon the  Term Loan B Commitments of the Term Loan B Lenders shall be reduced pro rata in accordance  with their respective Term Loan B Commitment Percentages of the amount specified in such  notice, any such reduction to be without penalty.  Promptly after receiving any notice from the  Borrower delivered pursuant to this §2.5(b), the Agent will notify the Term Loan B Lenders of the  substance thereof.  Upon the effective date of any such reduction of the unborrowed portion of the  Term Loan B Commitments, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the respective accounts of  the Term Loan B Lenders the full amount of any term loan unused fee under §2.3(c) then accrued  on the amount of the reduction.  No reduction of the unborrowed portion of the Term Loan B  Commitments may be reinstated.  §2.6 Interest on Loans.  (a) Each Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period  commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the date on which such Base Rate  Loan is repaid or converted to a LIBOR Rate Loan at the rate per annum equal to the sum of the  Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Base Rate Loans.  (b) Each Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period  commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of each Interest Period  with respect thereto at the rate per annum equal to the sum of LIBOR determined for such Interest  Period plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loans.  (c) Each Term A Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing  with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the date on which such Term A Base Rate Loan  is repaid or is converted to a Term A LIBOR Rate Loan at a rate per annum equal to the sum of  the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Term A Base Rate Loans.  (d) Each Term A LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period  commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of each Interest Period  with respect thereto at the rate per annum equal to the sum of LIBOR determined for such Interest  Period plus the Applicable Margin for Term A LIBOR Rate Loans.  (e) Each Term B Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing  with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the date on which such Term B Base Rate Loan  is repaid or is converted to a Term B LIBOR Rate Loan at a rate per annum equal to the sum of  the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Term B Base Rate Loans.  

 

51  US_Active\116390121\V-6  (f) Each Term B LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period  commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of each Interest Period  with respect thereto at the rate per annum equal to the sum of LIBOR determined for such Interest  Period plus the Applicable Margin for Term B LIBOR Rate Loans.  (g) The Borrower promises to pay interest on each Loan in arrears on each  Interest Payment Date with respect thereto.  (h) Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Rate Loans may be converted to Loans of the  other Type as provided in §4.1.  §2.7 Requests for Revolving Credit Loans.  Except with respect to any Revolving Credit  Loans outstanding as of the Closing Date, the Borrower shall give to the Agent written notice  executed by an Authorized Officer in the form of Exhibit C hereto (or telephonic notice confirmed  in writing in the form of Exhibit G hereto) of each Revolving Credit Loan requested hereunder (a  “Loan Request”) by 12:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) one (1) Business Day prior to the  proposed Drawdown Date with respect to Base Rate Loans and two (2) Business Days prior to the  proposed Drawdown Date with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans.  Each such notice shall specify with  respect to the requested Revolving Credit Loan the proposed principal amount of such Revolving  Credit Loan, the Type of Revolving Credit Loan, the initial Interest Period (if applicable) for such  Revolving Credit Loan and the Drawdown Date.  Each such notice shall also contain (i) a general  statement as to the purpose for which such advance shall be used (which purpose shall be in  accordance with the terms of §2.9) and (ii) a certification by the chief financial officer or controller  of Parent that the Borrower, the Guarantors and each Unencumbered Property Subsidiary are and  will be in compliance with all covenants under the Loan Documents after giving effect to the  making of such Revolving Credit Loan.  Promptly upon receipt of any such notice, the Agent shall  notify each of the Revolving Credit Lenders thereof.  Each such Loan Request shall be irrevocable  and binding on the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept the Revolving Credit Loan  requested from the Revolving Credit Lenders on the proposed Drawdown Date.  Each Loan  Request shall be (a) for a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan in a minimum aggregate amount of  $500,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 in excess thereof; or (b) for a Revolving Credit  LIBOR Rate Loan in a minimum aggregate amount of $500,000.00 or an integral multiple of  $100,000.00 in excess thereof; provided, however, that there shall be no more than ten (10) LIBOR  Rate Loans outstanding at any one time.  §2.8 Funds for Loans.  (a) Not later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on the proposed  Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans, each of the Revolving Credit  Lenders or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, will make available to the Agent, at the Agent’s  Head Office, in immediately available funds, the amount of such Lender’s Commitment  Percentage of the amount of the requested Loans which may be disbursed pursuant to §2.1 or §2.2.   Upon receipt from each Revolving Credit Lender or Term Loan Lender, as applicable, of such  amount, and upon receipt of the documents required by §10 and §11 and the satisfaction of the  other conditions set forth therein, to the extent applicable, the Agent will make available to the  Borrower the aggregate amount of such Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans made available to  the Agent by the Revolving Credit Lenders or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, by crediting such  

 

52  US_Active\116390121\V-6  amount to the account of the Borrower maintained at the Agent’s Head Office.  The failure or  refusal of any Revolving Credit Lender or Term Loan Lender to make available to the Agent at  the aforesaid time and place on any Drawdown Date the amount of its Commitment Percentage of  the requested Loans shall not relieve any other Revolving Credit Lender or Term Loan Lender  from its several obligation hereunder to make available to the Agent the amount of such other  Lender’s Commitment Percentage of any requested Loans, including any additional Loans that  may be requested subject to the terms and conditions hereof to provide funds to replace those not  advanced by the Lender so failing or refusing.  In the event of any such failure or refusal, the  Lenders not so failing or refusing shall be entitled to a priority secured position as against the  Lender or Lenders so failing or refusing to make available to the Borrower the amount of its or  their Commitment Percentage for such Loans as provided in §12.5.  (b) Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the  applicable Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loans or any Term Loans or on the Closing  Date or any Increase Date with respect to any Term Loans, that such Lender will not make  available to Agent such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of a proposed Loan, Agent may in its  discretion assume that such Lender has made such Loan available to Agent in accordance with the  provisions of this Agreement and the Agent may, if it chooses, in reliance upon such assumption  make such Loan available to the Borrower, and such Lender shall be liable to the Agent for the  amount of such advance.  If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount upon the  Agent’s demand therefor, the Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall  promptly pay such corresponding amount to the Agent.  The Agent shall also be entitled to recover  from the Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in  respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Agent to  the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Agent at a per annum rate  equal to (i) from the Borrower at the applicable rate for such Loan or (ii) from a Lender at the  Federal Funds Effective Rate plus one percent (1%).  §2.9 Use of Proceeds.  The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans and the Letters  of Credit solely to (a) pay closing costs in connection with this Agreement; (b) to finance  Borrower’s direct and indirect investments in Real Estate and Mortgage Receivables; and (c) for  general working capital purposes.  §2.10 Letters of Credit.  (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at any time  and from time to time from the Closing Date through the day that is ninety (90) days prior to the  Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Issuing Lender shall issue such Letters of Credit as the  Borrower may request upon the delivery of a written request in the form of Exhibit D hereto (a  “Letter of Credit Request”) to the Issuing Lender, provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default  shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) upon issuance of such Letter of Credit, the Letter of  Credit Liabilities shall not exceed $25,000,000.00 (subject to reduction as provided in §2.4), (iii) in  no event shall the sum of (A) the Revolving Credit Loans Outstanding and (B) the amount of Letter  of Credit Liabilities (after giving effect to all Letters of Credit requested) exceed the Total  Revolving Credit Commitment, (iv) the conditions set forth in §§10 and 11 shall have been  satisfied, (v) in no event shall any amount drawn under a Letter of Credit be available for  reinstatement or a subsequent drawing under such Letter of Credit, and (vi) in no event shall the  

 

53  US_Active\116390121\V-6  sum of (X) the Outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and the Term Loans and (Y)  the amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities (after giving effect to all Letters of Credit requested)  exceed the lesser of the Total Commitment or the Unencumbered Asset Availability.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this §2.10, the Issuing Lender shall not be  obligated to issue, amend, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit at a time when any other  Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless the Issuing Lender is satisfied that the  participation therein will otherwise be fully allocated to the Revolving Credit Lenders that are  Non-Defaulting Lenders consistent with §2.13(c) and the Defaulting Lender shall have no  participation therein, except to the extent the Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements with  the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender which are satisfactory to the Issuing Lender in its good  faith determination to eliminate the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to any such  Defaulting Lender, including the delivery of cash collateral.  The Issuing Lender may assume that  the conditions in §10 and §11 have been satisfied unless it receives written notice from a Revolving  Credit Lender that such conditions have not been satisfied.  Each Letter of Credit Request shall be  executed by an Authorized Officer of Borrower.  The Issuing Lender shall be entitled to  conclusively rely on such Person’s authority to request a Letter of Credit on behalf of Borrower.   The Issuing Lender shall have no duty to verify the authenticity of any signature appearing on a  Letter of Credit Request.  The Borrower assumes all risks with respect to the use of the Letters of  Credit.  Unless the Issuing Lender and the Required Revolving Credit Lenders otherwise consent,  the term of any Letter of Credit shall not exceed a period of time commencing on the issuance of  the Letter of Credit and ending on the date which is thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Credit  Maturity Date, or to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date to the extent any such Letter of Credit has  been cash collateralized in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the Issuing Lender  (but in any event the term shall not extend beyond the Revolving Credit Maturity Date).  The  amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit shall reduce on a dollar-for-dollar basis  the amount available to be drawn under the Total Revolving Credit Commitment as a Revolving  Credit Loan.   (b) Each Letter of Credit Request shall be submitted to the Issuing Lender at  least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as the Issuing Lender may approve) prior to  the date upon which the requested Letter of Credit is to be issued.  Each such Letter of Credit  Request shall contain (i) a statement as to the purpose for which such Letter of Credit shall be used  (which purpose shall be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), and (ii) a certification  by the chief financial officer or controller of Parent that the Borrower, Guarantors and  Unencumbered Property Subsidiaries are and will be in compliance with all covenants under the  Loan Documents after giving effect to the issuance of such Letter of Credit.  The Borrower shall  further deliver to the Issuing Lender such additional applications (which application as of the date  hereof is in the form of Exhibit H hereto) and documents as the Issuing Lender may reasonably  require, in conformity with the then standard practices of its letter of credit department, in  connection with the issuance of such Letter of Credit; provided that in the event of any conflict,  the terms of this Agreement shall control.  (c) The Issuing Lender shall, subject to the conditions set forth in this  Agreement, issue the Letter of Credit on or before five (5) Business Days following receipt of the  documents last due pursuant to §2.10(b).  Each Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance  reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender in its reasonable discretion.  

 

54  US_Active\116390121\V-6  (d) Upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit, each Revolving Credit Lender shall  be deemed to have purchased a participation therein from Issuing Lender in an amount equal to its  respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit.  No  Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to participate in a Letter of Credit shall be affected by any  other Revolving Credit Lender’s failure to perform as required herein with respect to such Letter  of Credit or any other Letter of Credit.  (e) Upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay to the  Issuing Lender (i) for its own account, a Letter of Credit fee calculated at the rate of one-eighth of  one percent (0.125%) per annum of the amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit  (which fee shall not be less than $1,500 in any event), and (ii) for the accounts of the Revolving  Credit Lenders (including the Issuing Lender) in accordance with their respective percentage  shares of participation in such Letter of Credit, a Letter of Credit fee calculated at the rate per  annum equal to the Applicable Margin then applicable to Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loans on  the amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.  Such fees shall be payable in  quarterly installments in arrears with respect to each Letter of Credit on the first day of each  calendar quarter following the date of issuance and continuing on each quarter or portion thereof  thereafter, as applicable, or on any earlier date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments shall  terminate and on the expiration or return of any Letter of Credit.  In addition, the Borrower shall  pay to Issuing Lender for its own account within five (5) days of demand of Issuing Lender the  standard issuance and documentation charges for Letters of Credit issued from time to time by  Issuing Lender.  (f) In the event that any amount is drawn under a Letter of Credit by the  beneficiary thereof, the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender by having such amount drawn  treated as an outstanding Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan under this Agreement (Borrower being  deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan on such date in an amount equal to  the amount of such drawing and such amount drawn shall be treated as an outstanding Revolving  Credit Base Rate Loan under this Agreement) and the Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving  Credit Lender by telecopy, email, telephone (confirmed in writing) or other similar means of  transmission, and each Revolving Credit Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the  Agent, for the Issuing Lender’s own account, an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s  Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Letter of Credit (to the extent of the amount  drawn).  If and to the extent any Revolving Credit  Lender shall not make such amount available  on the Business Day on which such draw is funded, such Revolving Credit Lender agrees to pay  such amount to the Agent forthwith on demand, together with interest thereon, for each day from  the date on which such draw was funded until the date on which such amount is paid to the Agent,  at the Federal Funds Effective Rate until three (3) days after the date on which the Agent gives  notice of such draw and at the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus one percent (1.0%) for each day  thereafter.  Further, such Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all  payments made of principal and interest on its Revolving Credit Loans, amounts due with respect  to its participations in Letters of Credit and any other amounts due to it hereunder to the Agent to  fund the amount of any drawn Letter of Credit which such Revolving Credit Lender was required  to fund pursuant to this §2.10(f) until such amount has been funded (as a result of such assignment  or otherwise).  In the event of any such failure or refusal, the Revolving Credit Lenders not so  failing or refusing shall be entitled to a priority secured position for such amounts as provided in  §12.5.  The failure of any Revolving Credit Lender to make funds available to the Agent in such  

 

55  US_Active\116390121\V-6  amount shall not relieve any other Revolving Credit Lender of its obligation hereunder to make  funds available to the Agent pursuant to this §2.10(f).  (g) If after the issuance of a Letter of Credit pursuant to §2.10(c) by the Issuing  Lender, but prior to the funding of any portion thereof by a Revolving Credit Lender, for any  reason a drawing under a Letter of Credit cannot be refinanced as a Revolving Credit Loan, each  Revolving Credit Lender will, on the date such Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.10(f) was to  have been made, purchase an undivided participation interest in the Letter of Credit in an amount  equal to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit.  Each  Revolving Credit Lender will immediately transfer to the Issuing Lender in immediately available  funds the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Issuing Lender will deliver to  such Revolving Credit Lender a Letter of Credit participation certificate dated the date of receipt  of such funds and in such amount.  (h) Whenever at any time after the Issuing Lender has received from any  Revolving Credit Lender any such Revolving Credit Lender’s payment of funds under a Letter of  Credit and thereafter the Issuing Lender receives any payment on account thereof, then the Issuing  Lender will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its participation interest in such amount  (appropriately adjusted in the case of interest payments to reflect the period of time during which  such Revolving Credit Lender’s participation interest was outstanding and funded); provided,  however, that in the event that such payment received by the Issuing Lender is required to be  returned, such Revolving Credit Lender will return to the Issuing Lender any portion thereof  previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it.  (i) The issuance of any supplement, modification, amendment, renewal or  extension to or of any Letter of Credit shall be treated in all respects the same as the issuance of a  new Letter of Credit.  (j) Borrower (rather than Issuing Lender) assumes all risks of the acts,  omissions, or misuse of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof; provided, however, that  this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and  remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee or any other Person at law or under  any other agreement.  Neither Agent, Issuing Lender nor any Revolving Credit Lender will be  responsible for (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any  Letter of Credit or any document submitted by any party in connection with the issuance of any  Letter of Credit, even if such document should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid,  insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy,  genuineness or legal effect of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or  assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof in whole or in  part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of any beneficiary of  any Letter of Credit to comply fully with the conditions required in order to demand payment under  a Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any  messages, by mail, cable, telecopy, email or otherwise; (v) errors in interpretation of technical  terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document or draft required by  or from a beneficiary in order to make a disbursement under a Letter of Credit or the proceeds  thereof; (vii) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of the proceeds of  any drawing under such Letter of Credit; and (viii) for any consequences arising from causes  

 

56  US_Active\116390121\V-6  beyond the control of Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender.  None of the foregoing will affect,  impair or prevent the vesting of any of the rights or powers granted to Agent, Issuing Lender or  the Revolving Credit Lenders hereunder.  In furtherance and extension and not in limitation or  derogation of any of the foregoing, any act taken or omitted to be taken by Agent, Issuing Lender  or the other Revolving Credit Lenders in good faith will be binding on Borrower and will not put  Agent, Issuing Lender or the other Revolving Credit Lenders under any resulting liability to  Borrower; provided nothing contained herein shall relieve Issuing Lender for liability to Borrower  arising as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Lender as determined  by a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods.  §2.11 Increase in Total Commitment.  (a) Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,  subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this §2.11, the Borrower shall have the option at  any time and from time to time before the date that is forty-five (45) days prior to the Revolving  Credit Maturity Date (as the same may be extended pursuant to §2.12 below), Term Loan A  Maturity Date or Term Loan B Maturity Date, as applicable, to request an increase in the Total  Revolving Credit Commitment, the Total Term Loan A Commitment and/or the Total Term Loan  B Commitment such that after giving effect to such increase the Total Commitment does not  exceed $425,000,000.00 in the aggregate by giving written notice to the Agent (each, an “Increase  Notice”; and the amount of such requested increase is the “Commitment Increase”), provided that  any such individual increase must be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000.00.  Upon receipt of  any Increase Notice, the Agent shall consult with Arranger and shall notify the Borrower of the  amount of facility fees to be paid to any Lenders who provide an additional Revolving Credit  Commitment, Term Loan A Commitment and/or Term Loan B Commitment, as applicable, in  connection with such increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment, Term Loan A Commitment  and/or Term Loan B Commitment, as applicable (which shall be in addition to the fees to be paid  to Arranger pursuant to the Agreement Regarding Fees).  If the Borrower agrees to pay the facility  fees so determined (and/or such other fees as may be agreed to by the Borrower, Agent and/or  Arranger in connection with such Commitment Increase), then the Agent shall send a notice to all  Revolving Credit Lenders, Term Loan A Lenders and/or Term Loan B Lenders, as applicable (the  “Additional Commitment Request Notice”) informing them of the Borrower’s request to increase  the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, the Total Term Loan A Commitment or the Total Term  Loan B Commitment, as applicable, and of the facility fees to be paid with respect thereto.  Each  Revolving Credit Lender, Term Loan A Lender or Term Loan B Lender, as applicable, who desires  to provide an additional Revolving Credit Commitment, Term Loan A Commitment or Term Loan  B Commitment, as applicable, upon such terms shall provide Agent with a written commitment  letter specifying the amount of the additional Revolving Credit Commitment, Term Loan A  Commitment or Term Loan B Commitment, as applicable, by which it is willing to provide prior  to such deadline as may be specified in the Additional Commitment Request Notice.  If the  requested increase is oversubscribed then the Agent and the Arranger shall allocate the  Commitment Increase among the Revolving Credit Lenders, Term Loan A Lenders or Term Loan  B Lenders, as applicable, who provide such commitment letters on such basis as the Agent and the  Arranger shall determine in their sole discretion.  If the additional Revolving Credit Commitments,  Term Loan A Commitments or Term Loan B Commitments, as applicable, so provided are not  sufficient to provide the full amount of the such Commitment Increase requested by the Borrower,  then the Agent, Arranger or Borrower may, but shall not be obligated to, invite one or more banks  

 

57  US_Active\116390121\V-6  or lending institutions (which banks or lending institutions shall be reasonably acceptable to Agent,  Arranger and Borrower) to become a Revolving Credit Lender, Term Loan A Lender or Term  Loan B Lender, as applicable, and provide an additional Revolving Credit Commitment, Term  Loan A Commitment or Term Loan B Commitment, as applicable.  The Agent shall provide all  Revolving Credit Lenders, Term Loan A Lenders or Term Loan B Lenders, as applicable, with a  notice setting forth the amount, if any, of the additional Revolving Credit Commitment, Term Loan  A Commitment or Term Loan B Commitment, as applicable, to be provided by each Revolving  Credit Lender, Term Loan A Lender or Term Loan B Lender, as applicable, and the revised  Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages, Term Loan A Commitment Percentages or Term  Loan B Commitment Percentages, as applicable, which shall be applicable after the effective date  of the Commitment Increase specified therein (the “Commitment Increase Date”).  In no event  shall any Lender be obligated to provide an additional Revolving Credit Commitment, Term Loan  A Commitment or Term Loan B Commitment.  (b) On any Commitment Increase Date the outstanding principal balance of the  Revolving Credit  Loans, Term Loans A or Term Loans B, as applicable, shall be reallocated  among the Revolving Credit Lenders, Term Loan A Lenders or Term Loan B Lenders, as  applicable, such that after the applicable Commitment Increase Date the outstanding principal  amount of Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans A or Term Loans B, as applicable, owed to each  Revolving Credit Lender, Term Loan A Lender or Term Loan B Lender, as applicable, shall be  equal to such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage, Term Loan A Commitment  Percentage or Term Loan B Commitment Percentage, as applicable (as in effect after the applicable  Commitment Increase Date) of the outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans,  Term Loans A or Term Loans B, as applicable.  The participation interests of the Revolving Credit  Lenders in Letters of Credit shall be similarly adjusted.  On any Commitment Increase Date, those  Revolving Credit Lenders, Term Loan A Lenders or Term Loan B Lenders whose Revolving  Credit Commitment Percentage, Term Loan A Commitment Percentage or Term Loan B  Commitment Percentage is increasing shall advance the funds to the Agent and the funds so  advanced shall be distributed among the Revolving Credit Lenders, Term Loan A Lenders or Term  Loan B Lenders, as applicable, whose Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage, Term Loan A  Commitment Percentage or Term Loan B Commitment Percentage, as applicable, is decreasing as  necessary to accomplish the required reallocation of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, Term  Loans A or Term Loans B, as applicable.  The funds so advanced shall be Base Rate Loans until  converted to LIBOR Rate Loans which are allocated among all Lenders based on their  Commitment Percentages.  To the extent such reallocation results in certain Lenders receiving  funds which are applied to LIBOR Rate Loans prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period,  then the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the affected Lenders the Breakage  Costs for each such Lender (provided that the parties agree to attempt to coordinate the closing of  any increase of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, Total Term Loan A Commitment or  Total Term Loan B Commitment, as applicable, to minimize Breakage Costs that may come due);  provided, however, each Lender agrees to apply any amounts received by them pursuant to this  §2.11(b) first to the principal of any Base Rate Loans held by such Lender and then to the principal  of LIBOR Rate Loans held by such Lender.  (c) Upon the effective date of each increase in the Total Revolving Credit  Commitment, Total Term Loan A Commitment or Total Term Loan B Commitment, as applicable,  pursuant to this §2.11 the Agent may unilaterally revise Schedule 1 hereto and the Borrower shall  

 

58  US_Active\116390121\V-6  execute and deliver to the Agent new Revolving Credit Notes, Term Loan A Notes or Term Loan  B Notes for each Lender whose Commitment has changed so that the principal amount of such  Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Note shall equal its Revolving Credit Commitment,  such Term Loan A Lender’s Term Loan Note shall equal its Term Loan A Commitment, and such  Term Loan B Lender’s Term Loan Note shall equal its Term Loan B Commitment.  The Agent  shall deliver such replacement Revolving Credit Notes, Term Loan A Notes and Term Loan B  Notes to the respective Lenders in exchange for the Revolving Credit Notes, Term Loan A Notes  and Term Loan B Notes replaced thereby which shall be surrendered by such Lenders.  Such new  Revolving Credit Notes, Term Loan A Notes and Term Loan B Notes shall provide that they are  replacements for the surrendered Revolving Credit Notes, Term Loan A Notes and Term Loan B  Notes, as applicable, and that they do not constitute a novation, shall be dated as of the  Commitment Increase Date and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the replaced  Revolving Credit Notes, Term Loan A Notes or Term Loan B Notes, as applicable.  Within five  (5) days of issuance of any new Revolving Credit Notes, Term Loan A Notes or Term Loan B  Notes, pursuant to this §2.11(c), the Borrower shall deliver an opinion of counsel, addressed to the  Lenders and the Agent, relating to the due authorization, execution and delivery of such new  Revolving Credit Notes, Term Loan A Notes and Term Loan B Notes and the enforceability  thereof, in form and substance substantially similar to the opinion delivered in connection with the  first disbursement under this Agreement.  The surrendered Revolving Credit Notes, Term Loan A  Notes and Term Loan B Notes shall be canceled and returned to the Borrower.  (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the obligation  of the Agent and the Revolving Credit Lenders to increase the Total Revolving Credit  Commitment, the Agent and the Term Loan A Lenders to increase the Total Term Loan A  Commitment, or the Agent and the Term Loan B Lenders to increase the Total Term Loan B  Commitment as applicable, pursuant to this §2.11 shall be conditioned upon satisfaction of the  following conditions precedent which must be satisfied prior to the effectiveness of any increase  of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, Total Term Loan A Commitment or the Total Term  Loan B Commitment, as applicable:  (i) Payment of Activation Fee.  The Borrower shall pay (A) to the  Agent and the Arranger certain arrangement and other fees with respect to the applicable  Commitment Increase pursuant to a separate agreement to be entered into among the Borrower,  the Agent and the Arranger prior to the applicable Commitment Increase Date, and (B) to the  Arranger such facility fees as the Revolving Credit Lenders, Term Loan A Lenders or Term Loan  B Lenders who are providing an additional Revolving Credit Commitment, Term Loan A  Commitment or Term Loan B Commitment, as applicable, may require to increase the aggregate  Revolving Credit Commitment, Term Loan A Commitment or Term Loan B Commitment, which  fees shall, when paid, be fully earned and non-refundable under any circumstances.  The Arranger  shall pay to the Lenders acquiring the applicable Commitment Increase certain fees pursuant to  their separate agreement; and  (ii) No Default.  On the date any Increase Notice is given and on the  date such increase becomes effective, both immediately before and after the Total Revolving  Credit Commitment, Term Loan A Commitment or Term Loan B Commitment, as applicable, is  increased, there shall exist no Default or Event of Default; and  

 

59  US_Active\116390121\V-6  (iii) Representations True.  The representations and warranties made by  the Borrower and the Guarantors in the Loan Documents or otherwise made by or on behalf of the  Borrower, the Guarantors and the Unencumbered Property Subsidiaries in connection therewith or  after the date thereof shall have been true and correct in all material respects when made and shall  also be true and correct in all material respects on the date of such Increase Notice and on the date  the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, Term Loan A Commitment or Term Loan B  Commitment is increased (except to the extent of any changes resulting from transactions  permitted by this Agreement, and except to the extent such representations relate expressly to an  earlier date, which representations shall be required to be true and correct only as of such specified  date), both immediately before and after the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, Term Loan A  Commitment or Term Loan B Commitment is increased; and  (iv) Additional Documents and Expenses.  The Borrower and the  Guarantors shall execute and deliver to Agent and the Lenders such additional documents,  instruments, certifications and opinions as the Agent may reasonably require, including, without  limitation, a Compliance Certificate, demonstrating compliance with all covenants, representations  and warranties set forth in the Loan Documents after giving effect to the increase; and  (v) Beneficial Ownership Certification.  If requested by the Agent or  any Lender, Borrower shall have delivered, prior to the Commitment Increase Date, to the Agent  (and any such Lender) a completed and executed Beneficial Ownership Certification.  §2.12 Extension of Revolving Credit Maturity Date.  The Borrower shall have the one- time right and option, in its sole discretion, to extend the Revolving Credit Maturity Date to July  2, 2024, upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent, which must be satisfied prior to  the effectiveness of any extension of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date:  (a) Extension Request.  The Borrower shall deliver written notice of such  request (the “Extension Request”) to the Agent not earlier than the date which is one hundred  twenty (120) days and not later than the date which is sixty (60) days prior to the Revolving Credit  Maturity Date (as determined without regard to such extension).  Any such Extension Request  shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.  (b) Payment of Extension Fee.  The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the pro  rata accounts of the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit  Commitments an extension fee in an amount equal to twenty (20) basis points on the Total  Revolving Credit Commitment in effect on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (as determined  without regard to such extension), which fee shall, when paid, be fully earned and non-refundable  under any circumstances.  (c) No Default.  On the date the Extension Request is given and on the  Revolving Credit Maturity Date (as determined without regard to such extension) there shall exist  no Default or Event of Default.  (d) Representations and Warranties.  The representations and warranties made  by the Borrower and the Guarantors in the Loan Documents or otherwise made by or on behalf of  the Borrower, Guarantors and Unencumbered Property Subsidiaries in connection therewith or  

 

60  US_Active\116390121\V-6  after the date thereof shall have been true and correct in all material respects when made and shall  also be true and correct in all material respects on the date the Extension Request is given and on  the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (as determined without regard to such extension) other than  for representations to the extent they relate expressly to an earlier date, which representations shall  be required to be true and correct only as of such specified date, and except to the extent of any  changes resulting from transactions permitted by this Agreement.  (e) Beneficial Ownership Certification.  If requested by the Agent or any  Lender, Borrower shall have delivered, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit  Maturity Date (as determined without regard to such extension), to the Agent (and any such  Lender) a completed and executed Beneficial Ownership Certification.  §2.13 Defaulting Lenders.  (a) If for any reason any Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, then, in addition  to the rights and remedies that may be available to the Agent or the Borrower under this Agreement  or Applicable Law, such Defaulting Lender’s right to participate in the administration of the Loans,  this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation, any right to vote in  respect of, to consent to or to direct any action or inaction of the Agent or to be taken into account  in the calculation of the Required Lenders, Required Revolving Credit Lenders, Required Term  Loan A Lenders, Required Term Loan B Lenders or all of the Lenders, shall be suspended during  the pendency of such failure or refusal.  If a Lender is a Defaulting Lender because it has failed to  make timely payment to the Agent of any amount required to be paid to the Agent hereunder  (without giving effect to any notice or cure periods), in addition to other rights and remedies which  the Agent or the Borrower may have under the immediately preceding provisions or otherwise, the  Agent shall be entitled (i) to collect interest from such Defaulting Lender on such delinquent  payment for the period from the date on which the payment was due until the date on which the  payment is made at the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus one percent (1%), (ii) to withhold or  setoff and to apply in satisfaction of the defaulted payment and any related interest, any amounts  otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document  and (iii) to bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent  jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest.  Any amounts received by  the Agent in respect of a Defaulting Lender’s Loans shall be applied as set forth in §2.13(d).  (b) Any Non-Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated, in its sole  discretion, to acquire all or a portion of a Defaulting Lender’s Commitments.  Any Lender desiring  to exercise such right shall give written notice thereof to the Agent and the Borrower no sooner  than two (2) Business Days and not later than five (5) Business Days after such Defaulting Lender  became a Defaulting Lender.  If more than one Lender exercises such right, each such Lender shall  have the right to acquire an amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitments in proportion to  the Commitments of the other Lenders exercising such right.  If after such fifth (5th) Business Day,  the Lenders have not elected to purchase all of the Commitments of such Defaulting Lender, then  the Borrower (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists) or the Required Lenders may, by  giving written notice thereof to the Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, demand  that such Defaulting Lender assign its Commitments to an eligible assignee subject to and in  accordance with the provisions of §18.1 for the purchase price provided for below and upon any  such demand such Defaulting Lender shall comply with such demand and shall consummate such  

 

61  US_Active\116390121\V-6  assignment (subject to and in accordance with the provisions of §18.1).  No party hereto shall have  any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an eligible  assignee.  Upon any such purchase or assignment, and any such demand with respect to which the  conditions specified in §18.1 have been satisfied, the Defaulting Lender’s interest in the Loans and  its rights hereunder (but not its liability in respect thereof or under the Loan Documents or this  Agreement to the extent the same relate to the period prior to the effective date of the purchase)  shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all  documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser or assignee  thereof, including an appropriate Assignment and Acceptance Agreement.  The purchase price for  the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender shall be equal to the amount of the principal balance of  the Loans outstanding and owed by the Borrower to the Defaulting Lender plus any accrued but  unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees.  Prior to payment of such purchase price to a  Defaulting Lender, the Agent shall apply against such purchase price any amounts retained by the  Agent pursuant to §2.13(d).  (c) During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, all or any part of  such Defaulting Lender’s obligation to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit  pursuant to §2.10(g) shall be reallocated among the Revolving Credit Lenders that are Non- Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment  Percentages (computed without giving effect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of such  Defaulting Lender); provided that (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the  date the applicable Revolving Credit Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of  Default exists, (ii) the conditions set forth in §10 and §11 are satisfied at the time of such  reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have notified the Agent at such time, the Borrower  shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at the time),  (iii) the representations and warranties in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all  material respects on and as of the date of such reallocation with the same effect as though made  on and as of such date (it being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty which  by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct only as of such  specified date, and that any representation or warranty that is qualified by any materiality standard  shall be required to be true and correct in all respects), and (iv) the aggregate obligation of each  Revolving Credit Lender that is a Non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund  participations in Letters of Credit shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (A) the  Revolving Credit Commitment of that Non-Defaulting Lender minus (B) the sum of (1) the  aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of that Revolving Credit  Lender plus (2) such Revolving Credit Lender’s pro rata portion in accordance with its Revolving  Credit Commitment Percentage of outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities.  Subject to §34, 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.  (d) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the  Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or  otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Agent for the account of such  Defaulting Lender pursuant to §13), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined  by the Agent as follows:  first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender  

 

62  US_Active\116390121\V-6  to the Agent (other than with respect to Letter of Credit Liabilities) hereunder; second, to the  payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender (with respect to  Letter of Credit Liabilities); third, if so determined by the Agent or requested by the Issuing  Lender, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of  any participation in any Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default  or Event of Default exists), 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 Agent;  fifth, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit  account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund  Loans or participations under this Agreement and (y) be held as cash collateral for future funding  obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit; sixth, to the  payment of any amounts owing to the Agent or the Lenders (including the Issuing Lender) as a  result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Agent or any Lender  (including the Issuing 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 exists, 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 (i) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or funded participations in  Letters of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate  share and (ii) such Loans or funded participations in Letters of Credit were made at a time when  the conditions set forth in §10 and §11, to the extent required by this Agreement, were satisfied or  waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and funded participations in  Letters of Credit owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis until such time as all  Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit are held by the Lenders pro rata  in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages and Term Loan Commitment  Percentages, as applicable, without regard to §2.13(c), prior to being applied to the payment of any  Loans of, or funded participations in Letters of Credit owed to, such Defaulting Lender.  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  §2.13(d) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender  irrevocably consents hereto, and to the extent allocated to the repayment of principal of the Loan,  shall not be considered outstanding principal under this Agreement.  (e) Within five (5) Business Days of demand by the Issuing Lender from time  to time, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent for the benefit of the Issuing Lender cash collateral  in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure with respect to the Issuing Lender (after  giving effect to §2.10(a) and §2.13(c)) on terms satisfactory to the Issuing Lender in its good faith  determination (and such cash collateral shall be in Dollars).  Any such cash collateral shall be  deposited in the Collateral Account as collateral (solely for the benefit of the Issuing Lender) for  the payment and performance of each Defaulting Lender’s pro rata portion in accordance with  their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages of outstanding Letter of Credit  Liabilities.  Moneys in the Collateral Account deposited pursuant to this section shall be applied  by the Agent to reimburse the Issuing Lender immediately for each Defaulting Lender’s pro rata  portion in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages of any  

 

63  US_Active\116390121\V-6  funding obligation with respect to a Letter of Credit which has not otherwise been reimbursed by  the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender.  (f) (i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Revolving  Credit Lender that is a Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Unused Fee or Facility  Fee pursuant to §2.3 for any period during which that Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting  Lender.  (ii) Each Revolving Credit Lender that is a Defaulting Lender shall not  be entitled to receive Letter of Credit fees pursuant to §2.10(e) for any period during which that  Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender.  (iii) With respect to any Unused Fee, Facility Fee or Letter of Credit fees  not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, the Borrower  shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Credit Lender that portion of any  such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s  participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender  pursuant to §2.13(c), (y) pay to the Issuing Lender the amount of any such fee otherwise payable  to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure to  such Defaulting Lender and (z) not be required to pay any remaining amount of any such fee.  (g) If the Borrower and the Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that  a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so  notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the 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 that portion of outstanding Loans of the other  Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans  and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held on a pro rata basis by the  Lenders in accordance with their Commitments (without giving effect to §2.13(c)), 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  such 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 such Lender’s  having been a Defaulting Lender.    §3. REPAYMENT OF THE LOANS.  §3.1 Stated Maturity.  The Borrower promises to pay on the Revolving Credit Maturity  Date and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date  all of the Revolving Credit Loans and other Letter of Credit Liabilities outstanding on such date,  together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The Borrower promises to pay on  the Term Loan A Maturity Date and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the Term  Loan A Maturity Date all of the Term Loans A Outstanding on such date, together with any and  all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.  The Borrower promises to pay on the Term Loan B  Maturity Date and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the Term Loan B Maturity  

 

64  US_Active\116390121\V-6  Date all of the Term Loans B Outstanding on such date, together with any and all accrued and  unpaid interest thereon.  §3.2 Mandatory Prepayments.  If at any time (i) the sum of the aggregate outstanding  principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and the Letter of Credit Liabilities exceeds the  lesser of (a) the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or (b) the Unencumbered Asset Availability,  minus the principal amount of the outstanding Term Loans, or (ii) the sum of the aggregate  outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, the Term Loans and the Letter of  Credit Liabilities exceeds the lesser of (a) the Total Commitment or (b) the Unencumbered Asset  Availability, then the Borrower shall, within ten (10) Business Days of such occurrence (or such  longer period of time as Agent may agree in its sole and absolute discretion), pay the amount of  such excess to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Lenders, as applicable, for application  to the Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans as provided in §3.4, together with any additional  amounts payable pursuant to §4.8.  §3.3 Optional Prepayments.    (a) The Borrower shall have the right, at its election, to prepay the outstanding  amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, as a whole or in part, at any time without penalty or  premium, and in the case of prepayment in full, at Borrower’s election, to terminate the Revolving  Credit Commitments; provided, that if any prepayment of the outstanding amount of any  Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loans pursuant to this §3.3 is made on a date that is not the last day  of the Interest Period relating thereto, such prepayment shall be accompanied by the payment of  any amounts due pursuant to §4.8.

(c) The Borrower shall give the Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. (Eastern  Standard Time) at least two (2) days prior written notice of any prepayment pursuant to this §3.3,  in each case specifying the proposed date of prepayment of the Loans and the principal amount to  be prepaid (provided that any such notice may be revoked or modified upon one (1) day’s prior  notice to the Agent).  §3.4 Partial Prepayments.  Each partial prepayment of the Loans under §3.3 shall be in  a minimum amount of $500,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 in excess thereof, shall  be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest on the principal prepaid to the date of payment.  Each partial payment under §3.2 and §3.3 shall be applied in the absence of instruction by the  Borrower, to the principal of Revolving Credit Loans and then pro rata to the principal of Term  Loans A and Term Loans B (and with respect to each category of Loans, first to the principal of  Base Rate Loans, and then to the principal of LIBOR Rate Loans).  

 

65  US_Active\116390121\V-6  §3.5 Effect of Prepayments.  Amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans prepaid under §3.2  and §3.3 prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date may be reborrowed as provided in §2.  Any  portion of the Term Loans that is prepaid may not be reborrowed.  §4. CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS.  §4.1 Conversion Options.  (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert any of its outstanding  Revolving Credit Loans to a Revolving Credit Loan of another Type or any of its outstanding Term  Loans to another Term Loan of another Type and such Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans  shall thereafter bear interest as a  Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan, as applicable; provided  that (i) with respect to any such conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, the  Borrower shall give the Agent at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice of such election,  and such conversion shall only be made on the last day of the Interest Period with respect to such  LIBOR Rate Loan, unless Borrower elects to pay the Breakage Costs association with such  conversion; (ii) with respect to any such conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan,  the Borrower shall give the Agent at least two (2) LIBOR Business Days’ prior written notice of  such election and the Interest Period requested for such Loan, the principal amount of the Loan so  converted shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $500,000.00 or an integral multiple of  $100,000.00 in excess thereof and, after giving effect to the making of such Loan, there shall be  no more than ten (10) LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding at any one time; and (iii) no Loan may be  converted into a LIBOR Rate Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is  continuing.  All or any part of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans of any Type  may be converted as provided herein, provided that no partial conversion shall result in a  Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan or a Term Base Rate Loan in a principal amount of less than  $500,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 or a Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loan or a  Term LIBOR Rate Loan in a principal amount of less than $500,000.00 or an integral multiple of  $100,000.00.

Each Conversion/Continuation  Request relating to the conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be irrevocable  by the Borrower.  (b) Any LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as such Type upon the expiration  of an Interest Period with respect thereto by compliance by the Borrower with the terms of §4.1;  provided that no LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as such when any Default or Event of  Default has occurred and is continuing, but shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan  on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto ending during the continuance of any Default  or Event of Default.  (c) In the event that the Borrower does not notify the Agent of its election  hereunder with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan, such Loan shall be automatically continued as a  LIBOR Rate Loan for the same Interest Period (unless such Interest Period shall be greater than  the time remaining until the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, Term Loan A Maturity Date or Term  Loan B Maturity Date, as applicable, in which case the Interest Period shall be the Interest Period  closest to the time remaining, without exceeding the time to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date,

All such fees shall be fully earned when  paid and nonrefundable under any circumstances.   §4.3 Rates.  The Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have  any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates  in the definition of “LIBOR” or with respect to any comparable or successor rate thereto, provided  that the foregoing shall not apply to any liability arising out of the bad faith, willful misconduct or  gross negligence of the Agent.  §4.4 Funds for Payments.  (a) All payments of principal, interest, facility fees, Letter of Credit fees,  closing fees and any other amounts due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall  be made to the Agent, for the respective accounts of the Lenders and the Agent, as the case may  be, at the Agent’s Head Office, not later than 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on the day when  due, in each case in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds.  If not  received by 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on the day when due, the Agent is hereby  authorized to charge the accounts of the Borrower with KeyBank, on the dates when the amount  thereof shall become due and payable, with the amounts of the principal of and interest on the  Loans and all fees, charges, expenses and other amounts owing to the Agent and/or the Lenders  under the Loan Documents.  Subject to the foregoing, all payments made to Agent on behalf of  the Lenders, and actually received by Agent, shall be deemed received by the Lenders on the date  actually received by Agent.  (b) All payments by the Borrower hereunder and under any of the other Loan  Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim, and free and clear of and 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 Borrower or other applicable Guarantor 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 §4.4) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to  the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.    (c) The Borrower and the Guarantors shall timely pay to the relevant  Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Agent timely  reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.  

 

67  US_Active\116390121\V-6  (d) The Borrower and the Guarantors shall jointly and severally indemnify each  Recipient, within fifteen (15) days after demand therefor (or within sixty (60) days of demand if  the amount demanded by a Recipient is in excess of $100,000), for the full amount of any  Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts  payable under this §4.4) 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 Agent), or by the Agent on its own  behalf or on behalf of a Lender, and a reasonably detailed explanation of such amounts which are  due, shall be conclusive absent manifest error;  (e) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within ten (10) days after  demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent  that the Borrower or a Guarantor has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified  Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower and the Guarantors to do so), (ii) any  Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of §18.4 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 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 Agent shall be conclusive  absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the 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  Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this §4.4(e).  (f) Upon the request of Agent or any Lender, as soon as practicable after any  payment of Taxes by the Borrower or any Guarantor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this  §4.4, the Borrower or such Guarantor shall deliver to the 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 Agent.  (g) (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 Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent,  such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or  the 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 Agent, shall  deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the  Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the 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 the immediately following  clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment  such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material  

 

68  US_Active\116390121\V-6  unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of  such Lender.  (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the  Borrower is a U.S. Person:  A. any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower  and the 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 Agent), an  electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Agent) of an executed IRS Form  W-9 (or any successor form) 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 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  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, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the  Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8BEN or 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  or 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. an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the  Borrower or the Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8ECI;  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 I-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 or W-8BEN-E; or  IV. to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial  owner, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Agent) of an executed  IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a  U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-2 or Exhibit I-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  

 

69  US_Active\116390121\V-6  Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-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 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  Agent), an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Agent) 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 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 Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times  reasonably requested by the Borrower or the 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 Agent as may be necessary for the  Borrower and the 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.    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 Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.  (h)  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 §4.4  (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this §4.4), it shall pay to the  indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments  made under this §4.4 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 (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, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an  indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection 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 and giving rise to such refund has not been deducted, withheld  or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such  Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any indemnified party  

 

70  US_Active\116390121\V-6  to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it reasonably  deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.  (i) Each party’s obligations under this §4.4 shall survive the resignation or  replacement of the 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.  (j) The obligations of the Borrower to the Revolving Credit Lenders under this  Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit (and of the Revolving Credit Lenders to make  payments to the Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit) shall be absolute, unconditional  and irrevocable, and shall be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this  Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including, without limitation, the following  circumstances:  (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or  any of the other Loan Documents; (ii) any improper use which may be made of any Letter of Credit  or any improper acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit in  connection therewith; (iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or any right which the  Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates may have at any time against any beneficiary or  any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary or any  such transferee may be acting) or the Revolving Credit Lenders (other than the defense of payment  to the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or any other  Person, whether in connection with any Letter of Credit, this Agreement, any other Loan  Document, or any unrelated transaction; (iv) any draft, demand, certificate, statement or any other  documents presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be insufficient, forged, fraudulent or  invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect  whatsoever; (v) any breach of any agreement between the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their  respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates and any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit; (vi)  any irregularity in the transaction with respect to which any Letter of Credit is issued, including  any fraud by the beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit; (vii) payment by the Issuing  Lender under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a sight draft, demand, certificate or other  document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, provided that such  payment shall not have constituted bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of  the Issuing Lender as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all  applicable appeal periods; (viii) any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of a  Letter of Credit of the proceeds of such Letter of Credit; (ix) the legality, validity, form, regularity  or enforceability of the Letter of Credit; (x) the failure of any payment by Issuing Lender to  conform to the terms of a Letter of Credit (if, in Issuing Lender’s good faith judgment, such  payment is determined to be appropriate); (xi) the surrender or impairment of any security for the  performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; (xii) the occurrence  of any Default or Event of Default; and (xiii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever,  whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, provided that such other circumstances or  happenings shall not have been the result of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on  the part of the Issuing Lender as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the  exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods.  §4.5 Computations.  All computations of interest on the Loans and of other fees to the  extent applicable shall be based on a 360-day year (or a 365 or 366 day year, as applicable, in the  

 

71  US_Active\116390121\V-6  case of Base Rate Loans) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed.  Except as otherwise  provided in the definition of the term “Interest Period” with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans,  whenever a payment hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents becomes due on a day  that is not a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding  Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such extension.  The Outstanding Loans as reflected  on the records of the Agent from time to time shall be considered prima facie evidence of such  amount absent manifest error.  §4.6 Suspension of LIBOR Rate Loans.  Subject to §4.17, in the event that, prior to the  commencement of any Interest Period relating to any LIBOR Rate Loan, the Agent shall in its  good faith discretion determine that adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining  LIBOR for such Interest Period, or the Agent shall reasonably determine that LIBOR will not  accurately and fairly reflect the cost of the Lenders making or maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans for  such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith give notice of such determination (which shall be  conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders absent manifest error) to the Borrower  and the Lenders.  In such event (a) any Loan Request with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be  automatically withdrawn and shall be deemed a request for a Base Rate Loan and (b) each LIBOR  Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto,  become a Base Rate Loan, and the obligations of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be  suspended until the Agent determines that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no  longer exist, whereupon the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof.  §4.7 Illegality.  Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any present or future  law, regulation, treaty or directive or the interpretation or application thereof shall make it  unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over a Lender  or its LIBOR Lending Office shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make or maintain  LIBOR Rate Loans, such Lender shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances to the Agent  and the Borrower and thereupon (a) the commitment of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans  shall forthwith be suspended and (b) the LIBOR Rate Loans then outstanding shall be converted  automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR  Rate Loans or within such earlier period as may be required by law.  Notwithstanding the  foregoing, before giving such notice, the applicable Lender shall designate a different lending  office if such designation will void the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment  of such Lender, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender or increase any costs  payable by Borrower hereunder.  §4.8 Additional Interest.  If any LIBOR Rate Loan or any portion thereof is repaid or is  converted to a Base Rate Loan for any reason on a date which is prior to the last day of the Interest  Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan, or if repayment of the Loans has been accelerated as  provided in §12.1, or if the Borrower fails to draw down on the first day of the applicable Interest  Period any amount as to which the Borrower has elected a LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrower will  pay to the Agent upon demand for the account of the applicable Lenders in accordance with their  respective Commitment Percentages, in addition to any amounts of interest otherwise payable  hereunder, the Breakage Costs.  Borrower understands, agrees and acknowledges the following:   (i) no Lender has any obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the use  of LIBOR as a basis for calculating the rate of interest on a LIBOR Rate Loan; (ii) LIBOR is used  merely as a reference in determining such rate; and (iii) Borrower has accepted LIBOR as a  

 

72  US_Active\116390121\V-6  reasonable and fair basis for calculating such rate and any Breakage Costs.  Borrower further  agrees to pay the Breakage Costs, if any, whether or not a Lender elects to purchase, sell and/or  match funds.  §4.9 Additional Costs, Etc.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any  Change in Law shall:  (a) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes,  (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and  (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other  obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or  (b) impose, modify or deem applicable any special deposit, reserve (other than  the Reserve Percentage), compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets  of, deposits with or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or the Issuing Lender, or  (c) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Lender or the London Interbank market  any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made  by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; and the result of any of the  foregoing is:  (i) to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of  making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make  any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Lender or such other Recipient  of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to  participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or  (ii) to reduce the amount of principal, interest or other amount payable  to any Lender, the Issuing Lender or other Recipient hereunder on account of such Lender’s  Commitment or any of the Loans or the Letters of Credit, or  (iii) to require any Lender or such other Recipient to make any payment  or to forego any interest or other sum payable hereunder, the amount of which payment or foregone  interest or other sum is calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum receivable or  deemed received by such Lender or such other Recipient from the Borrower hereunder,  then, and in each such case, the Borrower will, within fifteen (15) days of demand (or within sixty  (60) days of demand if the amount demanded by a Recipient is in excess of $100,000.00) made by  a Recipient at any time and from time to time and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay  to such Recipient such additional amounts as such Recipient shall reasonably determine in good  faith to be sufficient to compensate such Recipient for such additional cost, reduction, payment or  foregone interest or other sum.  Each Recipient in determining such amounts may use any  reasonable averaging and attribution methods generally applied by such Recipient.  §4.10 Capital Adequacy.  If any Lender or Issuing Lender determines that any Change in  Law affecting such Lender or Issuing Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s  or Issuing Lender’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 Issuing Lender’s capital  

 

73  US_Active\116390121\V-6  or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’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 held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Lender, to a  level below that which such Lender or Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding  company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such  Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding  company with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity’s capital)  by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time the Borrower will pay  to such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will  compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company  for any such reduction suffered as and when such reduction is determined, upon presentation by  such Lender of a statement of the amount setting forth the Lender’s reasonable calculation thereof.   In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution  methods generally applied by such Lender.  §4.11 Breakage Costs.  Borrower shall pay all Breakage Costs required to be paid by it  pursuant to this Agreement and incurred from time to time by any Lender upon demand within  fifteen (15) days from receipt of written notice from Agent, or such earlier date as may be required  by this Agreement.  §4.12 Default Interest.  Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event  of Default, and regardless of whether or not the Agent or the Lenders shall have accelerated the  maturity of the Loans, all Loans shall bear interest payable on demand at a rate per annum equal  to four percent (4%) above the Base Rate (the “Default Rate”), until such amount shall be paid in  full (after as well as before judgment), and the fee payable with respect to Letters of Credit shall  be increased to a rate equal to four percent (4%) above the Letter of Credit fee that would otherwise  be applicable to such time, or if any of such amounts shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by  law, then at the maximum rate permitted by law.    §4.13 Certificate.  A certificate setting forth any amounts payable pursuant to §4.8, §4.9,  §4.10, §4.11 or §4.12 and a reasonably detailed explanation of such amounts which are due,  submitted by any Recipient to the Borrower, shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.   Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, the Borrower shall pay such Recipient, as the case  may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) days after receipt  thereof (or sixty (60) days after receipt thereof if the amount shown as due in such certificate is in  excess of $100,000.00).  §4.14 Limitation on Interest.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other  Loan Documents to the contrary, all agreements between or among the Borrower, the Guarantors,  the Lenders and the Agent, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral,  are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of  any of the Obligations or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received by the  Lenders exceed the maximum amount permissible under Applicable Law.  If, from any  circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to the Lenders in excess of the  maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to the Lenders shall be reduced to the maximum  amount permitted under Applicable Law; and if from any circumstance the Lenders shall ever  receive anything of value deemed interest by Applicable Law in excess of the maximum lawful  

 

74  US_Active\116390121\V-6  amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal  balance of the Obligations and to the payment of interest or, if such excessive interest exceeds the  unpaid balance of principal of the Obligations, such excess shall be refunded to the Borrower.  All  interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law,  be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the  principal of the Obligations (including the period of any renewal or extension thereof) so that the  interest thereon for such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by Applicable  Law.  This Section shall control all agreements between or among the Borrower, the Guarantors,  the Lenders and the Agent.  §4.15 Certain Provisions Relating to Increased Costs.  If a Lender gives notice of the  existence of the circumstances set forth in §4.7 or any Lender requests compensation for any losses  or costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any one or more of the provisions of §4.4, §4.9 or §4.10,  then, upon request of Borrower, such Lender, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to  eliminate, mitigate or reduce amounts that would otherwise be payable by Borrower under the  foregoing provisions, provided that such action would not be otherwise prejudicial to such Lender,  including, without limitation, by designating another of such Lender’s offices, branches or  affiliates; the Borrower agreeing to pay all reasonably incurred costs and expenses incurred by  such Lender in connection with any such action.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary  contained herein, if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and if  any Lender has given notice of the existence of the circumstances set forth in §4.7 or has requested  payment or compensation for any losses or costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any one or more of  the provisions of §4.4, §4.9 or §4.10 (each, an “Affected Lender”), then, within thirty (30) days  after such notice or request for payment or compensation, Borrower shall have the right as to such  Affected Lender, to be exercised by delivery of written notice delivered to the Agent and the  Affected Lender within such thirty (30) day period, to elect to cause the Affected Lender to transfer  its Commitment.  The Agent shall promptly notify the remaining Lenders that each of such Lenders  shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire a portion of the Commitment, pro rata based  upon their relevant Commitment Percentages, of the Affected Lender (or if any of such Lenders  does not elect to purchase its pro rata share, then to such remaining Lenders in such proportion as  approved by the Agent).  In the event that the Lenders do not elect to acquire all of the Affected  Lender’s Commitment, then the Agent shall endeavor to obtain a new Lender to acquire such  remaining Commitment.  Upon any such purchase of the Commitment of the Affected Lender, the  Affected Lender’s interest in the Obligations and its rights hereunder and under the Loan  Documents shall terminate at the date of purchase, and the Affected Lender shall promptly execute  all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest.  The purchase price for  the Affected Lender’s Commitment shall equal any and all amounts outstanding and owed by  Borrower to the Affected Lender, including principal and all accrued and unpaid interest or fees.  §4.16 Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Lender to  demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or  Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be  required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs  incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing  Lender, 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 Issuing Lender’s intention to claim  compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or  

 

75  US_Active\116390121\V-6  reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include  the period of retroactive effect thereof).  §4.17 Successor LIBOR Rate.   (a) Benchmark Replacement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein  or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as  applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference  Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark  Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark  Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace  such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such  Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further  action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a  Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of  “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, in each instance  notwithstanding the requirements of §27 of this Agreement or anything else contained herein or in  any other Loan Document, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all  purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after  5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such  Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action  or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Agent  has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from  Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.   (b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.  In connection with the  implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Agent will have the right to make Benchmark  Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the  contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark  Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of  any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

In  addition, in the event any Subsidiary of Parent shall constitute a Material Subsidiary, Borrower  and Parent shall cause such Subsidiary, as a condition to such Subsidiary’s becoming an obligor  

 

77  US_Active\116390121\V-6  or guarantor with respect to such other Recourse Indebtedness described therein, cause each such  Subsidiary to execute and deliver to Agent a Joinder Agreement, and such Subsidiary shall become  a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. Each such Subsidiary shall not be restricted by its respective  organizational documents and Applicable Law, from serving as a Guarantor hereunder.  The  Borrower shall further cause all representations, covenants and agreements in the Loan Documents  with respect to the Guarantors to be true and correct with respect to each such Subsidiary or other  entity.  In connection with the delivery of such Joinder Agreement, the Borrower shall deliver to  the Agent such organizational agreements, resolutions, consents, opinions and other documents  and instruments as the Agent may reasonably require.  §5.3 Release of a Subsidiary Guarantor.    (a) The Borrower may request in writing that the Agent release, and upon  receipt of such request the Agent shall release (subject to the terms hereof), a Subsidiary Guarantor  from the Guaranty so long as:  (a) no Default or Event of Default shall then be in existence or  would occur as a result of such release or the removal of Real Estate referred to in clause (c) below;  (b) the Agent shall have received such written request at least five (5) Business Days prior to the  requested date of release; and (c) any Real Estate owned or leased by such Subsidiary Guarantor  shall be removed from the Subject Properties in accordance with §7.16 effective as of the date of  such release.  Delivery by the Borrower to the Agent of any such request for a release shall  constitute a representation by the Borrower that the matters set forth in the preceding sentence  (both as of the date of the giving of such request and as of the date of the effectiveness of such  request) are true and correct with respect to such request.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the  foregoing provisions shall not apply to Parent, which may only be released upon the written  approval of Agent and all of the Lenders.    (b) Notwithstanding the terms of §5.2 and §5.3(a), from and after any date that  Agent first receives written notice from Borrower that Borrower and/or Parent has first obtained  an Investment Grade Rating, then subject to the terms of this §5.3(b), each Subsidiary Guarantor  which is not a Material Subsidiary shall no longer be required to be a Guarantor, and Agent shall  promptly release each such Subsidiary Guarantor (other than any Subsidiary Guarantor which are  a Material Subsidiary) from the Guaranty; provided, however that notwithstanding the foregoing,  Agent shall not be obligated to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from the Guaranty in the event  that a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.  In the event that at any  time after Borrower and/or Parent obtains an Investment Grade Rating, Borrower and Parent shall  no longer have an Investment Grade Rating, Borrower and Parent shall within thirty (30) days after  such occurrence cause all such Persons which are required to be a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant  to §5.2 (without regard to this §5.3(b)) but are not then Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder to execute  a Joinder Agreement and shall further cause to be satisfied within such thirty (30) day period all  of the provisions of §5.2 that would be applicable to the addition of a new Subsidiary Guarantor.   In no event shall the provisions of this §5.3(b) entitle Parent to be released from the Guaranty.  For  the avoidance of doubt, regardless of whether Borrower and/or Parent has an Investment Grade  Rating, Borrower and Parent shall be required to cause any Subsidiary of Parent and/or Borrower  which at any time constitutes a Material Subsidiary to become a Subsidiary Guarantor by executing  a Joinder Agreement and shall comply with the provisions of §5.2 as a condition to such Material  Subsidiary becoming an obligor or guarantor of such other Recourse Indebtedness.

None of the other property of the Borrower, the Guarantors or their respective  Subsidiaries is now damaged as a result of any fire, explosion, accident, flood or other casualty in  any manner which individually or in the aggregate has had or could reasonably be expected to  have any Material Adverse Effect.  Each of the Subject Properties for which a Subsidiary  Guarantor or Unencumbered Property Subsidiary maintains insurance complies with the material  requirements relating to insurance set forth in the Lease applicable to such Subject Property, and  to the knowledge of the Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Unencumbered Property  Subsidiaries, in the case where a tenant under a Lease is required to maintain insurance with regard  to a Subject Property, such tenant maintains insurance that complies with the material requirements  relating to insurance set forth in the Lease applicable to such Subject Property.  Except as listed  on Schedule 6.23 hereto, there are no Management Agreements for any of the Subject Properties.   To the best knowledge of the Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Unencumbered  Property Subsidiaries, there are no material claims or any bases for material claims in respect of  any Subject Property or its operation by any party to any Management Agreement.  §6.24 Brokers.  Neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor has engaged or otherwise dealt  with any broker, finder or similar entity in connection with this Agreement or the Loans  contemplated hereunder.  §6.25 Other Debt.  As of the date of this Agreement, neither the Borrower nor any  Guarantor is in default, nor is any of their respective Subsidiaries (other than the Borrower, a  Subsidiary Guarantor or an Unencumbered Property Subsidiary) in default beyond any applicable  cure and/or grace period, of the payment of any Indebtedness or the performance of any related  agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement, financing agreement, indenture or lease to  which any of them is a party.  Neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor is a party to or bound by  any agreement, instrument or indenture that may require the subordination in right or time or  payment of any of the Obligations to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower or any  Guarantor.  Schedule 6.25 hereto sets forth all mortgages, deeds of trust, financing agreements or  other material agreements binding upon the Borrower and each Guarantor or their respective  properties and entered into by the Borrower and/or such Guarantor as of the date of this Agreement  with respect to any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Guarantor in an amount greater than  $2,000,000.00, and the Borrower shall, upon request of the Agent, provide the Agent with true,  correct and complete copies thereof.  §6.26 Solvency.  As of the Closing Date and after giving effect to the transactions  contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including all Loans made or to  be made hereunder, neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor is insolvent on a balance sheet basis  such that the sum of such Person’s assets exceeds the sum of such Person’s liabilities, the Borrower  and each Guarantor is able to pay its debts as they become due, and the Borrower and each  Guarantor has sufficient capital to carry on its business.  §6.27 No Bankruptcy Filing.  Neither the Borrower, any Guarantor nor any  Unencumbered Property Subsidiary is contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any  state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of its assets or property, and the  

 

86  US_Active\116390121\V-6  Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it,  any Guarantor or any Unencumbered Property Subsidiary.  §6.28 No Fraudulent Intent.  Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any  of the other Loan Documents nor the performance of any actions required hereunder or thereunder  is being undertaken by the Borrower, any Guarantor or any Unencumbered Property Subsidiary  with or as a result of any actual intent by any of such Persons to hinder, delay or defraud any entity  to which any of such Persons is now or will hereafter become indebted.  §6.29 Transaction in Best Interests of Borrower; Consideration.  The transaction  evidenced by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents is in the best interests of the Borrower  and each Guarantor.  The direct and indirect benefits to inure to the Borrower and the Guarantors  pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute substantially more than  “reasonably equivalent value” (as such term is used in §548 of the Bankruptcy Code) and “valuable  consideration,” “fair value,” and “fair consideration” (as such terms are used in any applicable  state fraudulent conveyance law), in exchange for the benefits to be provided by the Borrower and  the Guarantors pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and but for the  willingness of each Guarantor to guaranty the Loan, the Borrower would be unable to obtain the  financing contemplated hereunder which financing will enable the Borrower, each Guarantor and  their respective Subsidiaries to have available financing to conduct and expand their business.    §6.30 Contribution Agreement.  The Borrower and the Guarantors have executed and  delivered the Contribution Agreement, and the Contribution Agreement constitutes the valid and  legally binding obligations of such parties enforceable against them in accordance with the terms  and provisions thereof, except as enforceability is limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,  reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of  creditors’ rights and except to the extent that availability of the remedy of specific performance or  injunctive relief is subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may  be brought.  §6.31 OFAC.  None of the Borrower, any Guarantor nor any Unencumbered Property  Subsidiary, nor any of such Persons’ respective Subsidiaries, or any of such Persons’ respective  directors (other than any independent or outside directors), officers, or, to the knowledge of  Borrower or Parent, any independent or outside directors, employees, agents, advisors or Affiliates  of Borrower or any Guarantor (a) is (or will be) a Person: (i) that is, or is owned or controlled by  Persons that are:  (x) the subject or target of any Sanctions Laws and Regulations or (y) located,  organized or resident in a country or territory that is, or whose government is, the subject of  Sanctions Laws and Regulations, including, without limitation Crimea, Cuba, Iran, North Korea,  Sudan and Syria or (ii) with whom any Lender is restricted from doing business under OFAC  (including, those Persons named on OFAC’s Specially Designated and Blocked Persons list) or  under any statute, executive order (including the September 24, 2001 Executive Order Blocking  Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or  Support Terrorism), or other governmental action and (b) is not and shall not engage in any  dealings or transactions or otherwise be associated with Person (any such Person, a “Designated  Person”).  In addition, the Borrower hereby agrees to provide to the Lenders any additional  information that a Lender deems reasonably necessary from time to time in order to ensure  compliance with all applicable Laws (including, without limitation, any Sanctions Laws and  

 

87  US_Active\116390121\V-6  Regulations) concerning money laundering and similar activities.  Neither Borrower, any  Guarantor, nor any Unencumbered Property Subsidiary, nor any Subsidiary, director  (other than  any independent or outside directors) or officer of Borrower, any Guarantor or any Unencumbered  Property Subsidiary or, to the knowledge of Borrower or Parent, any outside or independent  director, Affiliate, agent or employee of Borrower or any Guarantor, has engaged in any activity  or conduct which would violate any applicable anti-bribery, anti-corruption or anti-money  laundering laws or regulations in any applicable jurisdiction, including without limitation, any  Sanctions Laws and Regulations.  §6.32 Subject Properties.  Schedule 1.2 hereto is a correct and complete list of all Subject  Properties as of the Closing Date.  Each of the Subject Properties included by the Borrower in  calculation of the compliance of the covenants set forth in §9 satisfies all of the requirements  contained in this Agreement for the same to be included therein.    §6.33 Beneficial Ownership.  The Borrower is in compliance in all material respects with  any applicable requirements of the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.  The information included  in the most recent Beneficial Ownership Certification, if any, delivered by the Borrower is true  and correct in all respects.  §7. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.  The Borrower covenants and agrees that, so long as any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit is  outstanding or any Lender has any obligation to make any Loans or issue Letters of Credit  hereunder:  §7.1 Punctual Payment.  The Borrower will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid  the principal and interest on the Loans and all interest and fees provided for in this Agreement, all  in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes, as well as all other sums owing  pursuant to the Loan Documents.  §7.2 Maintenance of Office.  The Borrower and each Guarantor will maintain its  respective chief executive office at 1521 Westbranch Drive, Suite 100, McLean, Virginia 22102,  or at such other place in the United States of America as the Borrower or any Guarantor shall  designate upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice to the Agent and the Lenders, where notices,  presentations and demands to or upon the Borrower or such Guarantor in respect of the Loan  Documents may be given or made.  §7.3 Records and Accounts.  The Borrower and each Guarantor will (a) keep, and cause  each of their respective Subsidiaries to keep true and accurate records and books of account in  which full, true and correct entries will be made in accordance with GAAP and (b) maintain  adequate accounts and reserves for all taxes (including income taxes), depreciation and  amortization of its properties and the properties of their respective Subsidiaries, contingencies and  other reserves.  Neither the Borrower, any Guarantor nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall,  without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, (x) make any material change to the  accounting policies/principles used by such Person in preparing the financial statements and other  information described in §6.4 or §7.4, or (y) change its fiscal year.  Agent and the Lenders  acknowledge that Parent’s and Borrower’s fiscal year is a calendar year.  

 

88  US_Active\116390121\V-6  §7.4 Financial Statements, Certificates and Information.  Borrower will deliver or cause  to be delivered to the Agent with sufficient copies for each of the Lenders:  (a) as soon as available and in any event within ninety (90) days after the end  of each calendar year, an audited consolidated balance sheet of the Parent and its Subsidiaries as  of the end of such year and the related audited consolidated statements of income, shareholders’  equity and cash flows for such year, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for  the previous fiscal year, all certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP or other independent public  accountants of nationally recognized standing, with such certification to be free of exceptions and  qualifications not acceptable to the Required Lenders;  (b) as soon as available and in any event within forty-five (45) days after the  end of each of the first three (3) calendar quarters of each year, a consolidated balance sheet of the  Parent and its Subsidiaries as of the end of such quarter and the related statement of income and  statement of cash flows for such quarter and for the portion of the year ended at the end of such  quarter, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the corresponding quarter  and the corresponding portion of the previous year, all certified (subject to normal year-end  adjustments) as to fairness of presentation, GAAP and consistency by the chief financial officer,  controller or treasurer of Parent;  (c) simultaneously with the delivery of the financial statements referred to in  subsections (a) and (b) above, a statement (a “Compliance Certificate”) certified by the chief  financial officer or controller of Parent in the form of Exhibit F hereto (or in such other form as  the Agent may approve from time to time).  Calculations of income, expense and value associated  with Real Estate or other Investments acquired or disposed of during any quarter will be adjusted,  where applicable.  Parent shall submit with the Compliance Certificate a Unencumbered Asset  Certificate in the form of Exhibit E hereto (a “Unencumbered Asset Certificate”) pursuant to which  Parent shall calculate the amount of the Unencumbered Asset Availability as of the end of the  immediately preceding fiscal quarter, list the Subject Properties and certify that each Subject  Property included therein and in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Availability satisfies  all of the requirements contained in this Agreement for the same to be included therein.  The  Compliance Certificate shall be accompanied by copies of the statements of Consolidated Net  Operating Income for such fiscal quarter for each of the Subject Properties, prepared on a basis  consistent with the statements furnished to the Agent prior to the date hereof and otherwise in form  and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, together with a certification by the chief  financial officer, controller or treasurer of Parent that the information contained in such statement  fairly presents in all material respects the Consolidated Net Operating Income for such periods.

The Borrower shall reasonably cooperate with the Agent in connection with the publication of  certain materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of Borrower.  Documents required  to be delivered pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower  to the Agent and the Lenders (collectively, “Information Materials”) pursuant to this Section.  Any  material to be delivered pursuant to this §7.4 may be delivered electronically directly to Agent and  the Lenders provided that such material is in a format reasonably acceptable to Agent, and such  material shall be deemed to have been delivered to Agent and the Lenders upon Agent’s receipt  thereof.  Upon the request of Agent, Borrower and Parent shall deliver paper copies thereof to  Agent and the Lenders.  Borrower and Guarantors authorize Agent and Joint-Lead Arranger to  

 

90  US_Active\116390121\V-6  disseminate any such materials, including without limitation the Information Materials through the  use of Intralinks, SyndTrak or any other electronic information dissemination system (an  “Electronic System”).  Any such Electronic System is provided “as is” and “as available.”  The  Agent and the Joint-Lead Arrangers do not warrant the adequacy of any Electronic System and  expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in any notice, demand, communication,  information or other material provided by or on behalf of Borrower that is distributed over or by  any such Electronic System (“Communications”).  No warranty of any kind, express, implied or  statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular  purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is  made by Agent or any Joint-Lead Arranger in connection with the Communications or the  Electronic System.  In no event shall the Agent, any Joint-Lead Arranger or any of their directors,  officers, employees, agents or attorneys have any liability to the Borrower or the Guarantors, any  Lender or any other Person for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or  indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract  or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s, any Guarantors’, the Agent’s or any Joint-Lead  Arranger’s transmission of Communications through the Electronic System, and the Borrower and  the Guarantors release Agent, the Joint-Lead Arrangers and the Lenders from any liability in  connection therewith, except as to any of the Agent, the Joint-Lead Arranger or any Lender for  any actual damages (but specifically excluding any special, incidental, consequential or punitive  damages) to the extent arising from the Agent’s, the Joint-Lead Arranger’s or any such Lender’s  own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction  after the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods.  Borrower acknowledges that certain of the  Lenders (each, a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to receive material non- public information with respect to the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or its Affiliates, or the respective  securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market related  activities with respect to such Persons’ securities.  All of the Information Materials delivered by  Borrower hereunder shall be deemed to be private information and shall not be shared with such  Public Lenders, except for any Information Materials that are (a) filed with a Governmental  Authority and are available to the public, or (b) clearly and conspicuously identified by the  Borrower as “PUBLIC”, which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear  prominently on the first page thereof.  By marking Information Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower  shall be deemed to have authorized the Agent, the Lenders and the Joint-Lead Arrangers to treat  such Information Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to  the Borrower, its Subsidiaries, its Affiliates or their respective securities for purposes of United  States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Information  Materials constitute confidential information, they shall be treated as provided in §18.7).  Borrower  agrees that (i) all Information Materials marked “PUBLIC” by Borrower are permitted to be made  available through a portion of any electronic dissemination system designated “Public Investor”  or a similar designation, and (ii) the Agent and the Joint-Lead Arrangers shall be entitled to treat  any Information Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a  portion of any electronic dissemination system not designated “Public Investor” or a similar  designation.  §7.5 Notices.  (a) Defaults.  The Borrower will promptly upon becoming aware of same notify  the Agent in writing of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, which notice shall  

 

91  US_Active\116390121\V-6  describe such occurrence with reasonable specificity and shall state that such notice is a “notice of  default”.  If any Person shall give any notice or take any other action in respect of a claimed default  (whether or not constituting an Event of Default) under this Agreement or under any note, evidence  of indebtedness, indenture or other obligation to which or with respect to which the Borrower, any  Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries is a party or obligor, whether as principal or  surety, and such default would permit the holder of such note or obligation or other evidence of  indebtedness to accelerate the maturity thereof, which acceleration would either cause a Default  or have a Material Adverse Effect, the Borrower shall forthwith give written notice thereof to the  Agent, describing the notice or action and the nature of the claimed default.  Without limiting the  foregoing, the Borrower shall promptly upon becoming aware of same (but in any event within  five (5) Business Days thereafter) notify the Agent in writing of any default under any PACE Loan  on a Subject Property, including, without limitation, any failure by Borrower, any Subsidiary or  any Tenant of a Subject Property to timely pay any assessment or other sum due or payable with  respect to such PACE Loan.  (b) Environmental Events.  The Borrower will give notice to the Agent within  five (5) Business Days of becoming aware of (i) any potential or known Release, or threat of  Release, of any Hazardous Substances in violation of any applicable Environmental Law; (ii) any  violation of any Environmental Law that the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective  Subsidiaries reports in writing (or for which any written report supplemental to any oral report is  made) to any federal, state or local environmental agency; or (iii) any inquiry, proceeding,  investigation, or other action, including a notice from any agency of potential environmental  liability, of any federal, state or local environmental agency or board, that in any case involves  (A) any Subject Property or (B) any other Real Estate and could reasonably be expected to have a  Material Adverse Effect.  (c) Notice of Litigation and Judgments.  The Borrower will give notice to the  Agent in writing within five (5) Business Days of becoming aware of any litigation or proceedings  threatened in writing or any pending litigation and proceedings affecting the Borrower, any  Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries or to which the Borrower, any Guarantor or any  of their respective Subsidiaries is or is to become a party involving an uninsured claim against any  of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries that could either cause a  Default or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and stating the nature  and status of such litigation or proceedings.  The Borrower and each Guarantor will give notice to  the Agent, in writing, in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and each of the  Lenders, within ten (10) days of any judgment not covered by insurance, whether final or  otherwise, against any of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries in an  amount in excess of $5,000,000.00.  (d) Notice of Disqualification.  Borrower will give notice to the Agent in  writing within five (5) Business Days after becoming aware of any failure of any Eligible Real  Estate to satisfy the conditions in this Agreement to inclusion within the calculation of the  Unencumbered Asset Value.  (e) ERISA.  The Borrower will give notice to the Agent within five  (5) Business Days after the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate (i) gives or is required to give notice  to the PBGC of any “reportable event” (as defined in §4043 of ERISA) with respect to any  

 

92  US_Active\116390121\V-6  Guaranteed Pension Plan, Multiemployer Plan or Employee Benefit Plan, or knows that the plan  administrator of any such plan has given or is required to give notice of any such reportable event;  (ii) gives a copy of any notice of complete or partial withdrawal liability under Title IV of ERISA;  or (iii) receives any notice from the PBGC under Title IV or ERISA of an intent to terminate or  appoint a trustee to administer any such plan.  (f) Notices of Default Under Leases.  Borrower will give notice to the Agent  in writing within five (5) Business Days after Borrower, any Guarantor or any Unencumbered  Property Subsidiary (i) receives notice from a tenant under a lease of a Subject Property of a default  by the landlord under such lease which default would provide the tenant with an ability to terminate  the lease or the right to an abatement of rent thereunder or (ii) delivers a notice to any tenant under  a lease of a Subject Property of a payment or other material default by such tenant under its lease.  (g) Notification of Lenders.  Within five (5) Business Days after receiving any  notice under this §7.5, the Agent will forward a copy thereof to each of the Lenders, together with  copies of any certificates or other written information that accompanied such notice.  §7.6 Existence; Maintenance of Properties.  (a) The Borrower will preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence as  a Delaware limited partnership.  Each Guarantor and each Unencumbered Property Subsidiary will  preserve and keep in full force and effect its legal existence in the jurisdiction of its incorporation  or formation and in the event any such Person is a limited liability company, it shall not  consummate, nor shall any of its members or managers, take any action in furtherance of or  consummate, an LLC Division.  The Borrower will cause each of its Subsidiaries which is not a  Guarantor or an Unencumbered Property Subsidiary to preserve and keep in full force and effect  their legal existence in the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation except where such failure  has not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  The Borrower  will preserve and keep in full force all of its rights and franchises and those of its Subsidiaries, the  preservation of which is necessary to the conduct of their business (except with respect to  Subsidiaries of Borrower that are not Guarantors or Unencumbered Property Subsidiaries, where  such failure has not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect).   Parent shall at all times comply with all requirements and applicable laws and regulations  necessary to maintain REIT Status and shall continue to receive REIT Status.  The common stock  of Parent shall at all times be listed for trading and be traded on NASDAQ, the New York Stock  Exchange or another nationally recognized exchange unless otherwise consented to by the  Required Lenders.  The Borrower shall continue to own directly or indirectly one hundred percent  (100%) of the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Unencumbered Property Subsidiaries.  (b) The Borrower (i) will cause all of its properties and those of its  Subsidiaries  used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of its Subsidiaries to be maintained  and kept in good condition, repair and working order (ordinary wear and tear and damage by  casualty excepted) and supplied with all necessary equipment, and (ii) will cause to be made all  necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof in all cases in  which the failure so to do would have a material adverse effect on the condition of any Subject  Property or would cause a Material Adverse Effect.    

 

93  US_Active\116390121\V-6  §7.7 Insurance.  The Borrower, Parent and their respective Subsidiaries (as applicable)  will procure and maintain or cause to be procured and maintained insurance covering the  Borrower, Parent and their respective Subsidiaries (as applicable) and the Real Estate in such  amounts and against such risks and casualties as are customary for properties of similar character  and location, due regard being given to the type of improvements thereon, their construction,  location, use and occupancy; it being understood and agreed that the foregoing shall not modify  any obligation of a tenant under a Lease with regard to the placement and maintenance of  insurance.  §7.8 Taxes; Liens.  The Borrower and the Guarantors will, and will cause their respective  Subsidiaries to, duly pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, before the same shall  become delinquent, all taxes, assessments (including, without limitation, any PACE Loan  assessments) and other governmental charges imposed upon them or upon the Subject Properties  or the other Real Estate (where, as to any Real Estate other than the Subject Properties, the failure  to pay or discharge any such taxes, assessments (including, without limitation, any PACE Loan  assessments) or other charges could be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect),  sales and activities, or any part thereof, or upon the income or profits therefrom as well as all  claims for labor, materials or supplies that if unpaid might by law become a lien or charge upon  any of its property or other Liens affecting any property of Borrower, the Guarantors or their  respective Subsidiaries, provided that any such tax, assessment (including, without limitation, any  PACE Loan assessments), charge or levy or claim need not be paid if the validity or amount thereof  shall currently be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings by Borrower, the Guarantors,  their respective Subsidiaries or a tenant which shall suspend the collection thereof with respect to  such property, and neither such property nor any portion thereof or interest therein would be in  any danger of sale, forfeiture or loss by reason of such proceeding; and provided, further, that  forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings to foreclose any lien that may have attached as  security therefor, the Borrower, any such Guarantor, any such Subsidiary or a tenant either (i) will  provide a bond issued by a surety reasonably acceptable to the Agent or other collateral satisfactory  to Agent and sufficient to stay all such proceedings or (ii) if no such bond or other collateral is  provided, will pay each such tax, assessment (including, without limitation, any PACE Loan  assessments), charge or levy.  §7.9 Inspection of Properties and Books.  The Borrower and the Guarantors will, and  will cause their respective Subsidiaries to, permit the Agent and the Lenders, at the Borrower’s  expense and upon reasonable prior notice, to visit and inspect any of the properties of the Borrower,  each Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries (subject to the rights of tenants and with the  understanding that any visit to or inspection of any Real Estate that is not a Subject Property shall  be undertaken for purposes of evaluating such Real Estate as it pertains to the Parent’s or the  Borrower’s direct or indirect equity interest therein), to examine the books of account of the  Borrower, each Guarantor and their respective Subsidiaries (and to make copies thereof and  extracts therefrom) and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Borrower, any  Guarantor and their respective Subsidiaries with, and to be advised as to the same by, their  respective officers, all at such reasonable times and intervals as the Agent or any Lender may  reasonably request, provided that so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred  and be continuing, the Borrower shall not be required to pay for such visits and inspections more  often than once in any twelve (12) month period.  In the event that the Agent or a Lender shall  visit and inspect a property of a Subsidiary of Borrower which is not a Guarantor or an  

 

94  US_Active\116390121\V-6  Unencumbered Property Subsidiary, such visit and inspection shall be made with a representative  of Borrower (and Borrower agrees to use reasonable efforts to make such representative available).   The Lenders shall use good faith efforts to coordinate such visits and inspections so as to minimize  the interference with and disruption to the normal business operations of the Borrower, the  Guarantors, their respective Subsidiaries and any tenants.  §7.10 Compliance with Laws, Contracts, Licenses, and Permits.  The Borrower and the  Guarantors will, and will cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, comply in all respects with  (i) all Applicable Laws now or hereafter in effect wherever its business is conducted, including all  Environmental Laws, (ii) the provisions of its corporate charter, partnership agreement, limited  liability company agreement or declaration of trust, as the case may be, and other charter  documents and bylaws, (iii) all agreements and instruments to which it is a party or by which it or  any of its properties may be bound, (iv) all applicable decrees, orders, and judgments, and (v) all  licenses and permits required by Applicable Laws for the conduct of its business or the ownership,  use or operation of its properties, except where a failure to so comply with any of clauses  (i) through (v) could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Borrower  shall develop and implement such programs, policies and procedures as are necessary to comply  with the Patriot Act and shall promptly advise Agent in writing in the event that Borrower shall  determine that any investors in Borrower are in violation of such act.  §7.11 Further Assurances.

(a) Neither the Borrower, the Guarantors nor any of their respective  Subsidiaries shall enter into, any agreement, instrument or transaction which has or may have the  effect of prohibiting or limiting the Borrower’s, the Guarantors’ or any of their respective  Subsidiaries’ ability to pledge to Agent any Subject Property as security for the Obligations.

(b) In the event that all or any material portion of any Eligible Real Estate  included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value shall be damaged in any material  respect or taken by condemnation, then such property shall no longer be included in the calculation  of the Unencumbered Asset Value unless and until (i) any damage to such real estate is repaired  or restored, such real estate becomes fully operational and the Agent shall receive evidence  satisfactory to the Agent of the value of such real estate following such repair or restoration (both  at such time and prospectively) or (ii) Agent shall receive evidence satisfactory to the Agent that  the value of such real estate (both at such time and prospectively) shall not be materially adversely  affected by such damage or condemnation.  In the event that such damage or condemnation only  partially affects such Eligible Real Estate included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset  Value, then the Required Lenders may in good faith reduce the Unencumbered Asset Value  attributable thereto based on such damage until such time as the Required Lenders receive evidence  satisfactory to the Required Lenders that the value of such real estate (both at such time and  prospectively) shall no longer be materially adversely affected by such damage or condemnation.

Neither the Borrower nor Parent will, nor  will either of them permit any of its respective Subsidiaries or any other Person to, do any of the  following: (a) use any of the Real Estate or any portion thereof as a facility for the handling,  processing, storage or disposal of Hazardous Substances, except for small quantities of Hazardous  Substances used in the ordinary course of business and in material compliance with all applicable  Environmental Laws, (b) cause or permit to be located on any of the Real Estate any underground  tank or other underground storage receptacle for Hazardous Substances except in compliance with  Environmental Laws, (c) generate any Hazardous Substances on any of the Real Estate except in  compliance with Environmental Laws, (d) conduct any activity at any Real Estate or use any Real  Estate in any manner that could reasonably be contemplated to cause a Release of Hazardous  Substances on, upon or into the Real Estate or any surrounding properties or any threatened  Release of Hazardous Substances which could reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under  CERCLA or any other Environmental Law, or (e) directly or indirectly transport or arrange for the  transport of any Hazardous Substances (except in compliance with all Environmental Laws),  except, with respect to any Real Estate other than a Subject Property, where any such use,  generation, conduct or other activity has not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a  Material Adverse Effect.  The Borrower shall, and shall cause the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Unencumbered  Property Subsidiaries to:  (i) in the event of any change in Environmental Laws governing the  assessment, release or removal of Hazardous Substances, take all reasonable action (including,  without limitation, the conducting of engineering tests at the sole expense of the Borrower) to  

 

104  US_Active\116390121\V-6  confirm that no Hazardous Substances are or ever were Released or disposed of on the Subject  Properties in violation of applicable Environmental Laws; and  (ii) if any Release or disposal of Hazardous Substances which any  Person may be legally obligated to contain, correct or otherwise remediate or which may otherwise  expose it to liability shall occur or shall have occurred on the Subject Properties (including without  limitation any such Release or disposal occurring prior to the acquisition or leasing of such Subject  Property by the Borrower or any Unencumbered Property Subsidiary), the Borrower shall, after  obtaining knowledge thereof, cause the prompt containment and removal of such Hazardous  Substances and remediation of the Subject Property in full compliance with all applicable  Environmental Laws; provided, that each of the Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the  Unencumbered Property Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be in compliance with Environmental  Laws for the purpose of this clause (ii) so long as it or a responsible third party with sufficient  financial resources is taking reasonable action to remediate or manage any event of noncompliance  to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agent and no action shall have been commenced by any  enforcement agency.  The Agent may engage its own environmental consultant to review the  environmental assessments and the compliance with the covenants contained herein.  At any time after an Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder the Agent may at its  election (and will at the request of the Required Lenders) obtain such environmental assessments  of any or all of the Subject Properties prepared by an environmental consultant reasonably  acceptable to the Agent as may be necessary or advisable for the purpose of evaluating or  confirming (i) whether any Hazardous Substances are present in the soil or water at or adjacent to  any such Subject Property and (ii) whether the use and operation of any such Subject Property  complies with all Environmental Laws to the extent required by the Loan Documents.   Additionally, at any time that the Agent or the Required Lenders shall have reasonable grounds to  believe that a Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Substances which any Person may be  legally obligated to contain, correct or otherwise remediate or which otherwise may expose such  Person to liability may have occurred, relating to any Subject Property, or that any of the Subject  Property is not in compliance with Environmental Laws to the extent required by the Loan  Documents, Borrower shall promptly upon the request of Agent obtain and deliver to Agent such  environmental assessments of such Subject Property prepared by an environmental consultant  reasonably acceptable to the Agent as may be necessary or advisable for the purpose of evaluating  or confirming (i) whether any Hazardous Substances are present in the soil or water at or adjacent  to such Subject Property and (ii) whether the use and operation of such Subject Property comply  with all Environmental Laws to the extent required by the Loan Documents.  Environmental  assessments may include detailed visual inspections of such Subject Property including, without  limitation, any and all storage areas, storage tanks, drains, dry wells and leaching areas, and the  taking of soil samples, as well as such other investigations or analyses as are reasonably necessary  or appropriate for a complete determination of the compliance of such Subject Property and the  use and operation thereof with all applicable Environmental Laws.

115  US_Active\116390121\V-6  become, immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any  kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; provided that in the event of any  Event of Default specified in §12.1(g), §12.1(h) or §12.1(i), all such amounts shall become  immediately due and payable automatically and without any requirement of presentment, demand,  protest or other notice of any kind from any of the Lenders or the Agent.  Upon demand by Agent  or the Required Revolving Credit Lenders in their absolute and sole discretion after the occurrence  and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and regardless of whether the conditions  precedent in this Agreement for a Loan have been satisfied, the Lenders will cause a Revolving  Credit Loan to be made in the undrawn amount of all Letters of Credit.  The proceeds of any such  Revolving Credit Loan will be pledged to and held by Agent as security for any amounts that  become payable under the Letters of Credit and all other Obligations.  In the alternative, if  demanded by Agent in its absolute and sole discretion after the occurrence and during the  continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower will deposit with and pledge to Agent cash in an  amount equal to the amount of all undrawn Letters of Credit.  Such amounts will be pledged to  and held by Agent for the benefit of the Lenders as security for any amounts that become payable  under the Letters of Credit and all other Obligations.  Upon any draws under Letters of Credit, at  Agent’s sole discretion, Agent may apply any such amounts to the repayment of amounts drawn  thereunder and upon the expiration of the Letters of Credit any remaining amounts will be applied  to the payment of all other Obligations or if there are no outstanding Obligations and the Revolving  Credit Lenders have no further obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or issue Letters of  Credit or if such excess no longer exists, such proceeds deposited by Borrower will be released to  Borrower.  §12.2 Certain Cure Periods; Limitation of Cure Periods.  (a) Notwithstanding anything contained in §12.1 to the contrary, (i) no Event  of Default shall exist hereunder upon the occurrence of any failure described in §12.1(b) in the  event that the Borrower cures such Default within five (5) Business Days following receipt of  written notice of such Default, provided, however, that Borrower shall not be entitled to receive  more than five (5) notices in the aggregate pursuant to this clause (i) in any period of 365 days  ending on the date of any such occurrence of Default, and provided further that no such cure period  shall apply to any payments due upon the maturity of the Notes, and (ii) no Event of Default shall  exist hereunder upon the occurrence of any failure described in §12.1(d) in the event that the  Borrower cures such Default within thirty (30) days following receipt of written notice of such  default, provided that the provisions of this clause (ii) shall not pertain to defaults consisting of a  failure to provide insurance as required by §7.7, to any default consisting of a failure to comply  with §7.4(c),§7.4(d), §7.16, §8.1, §8.2, §8.3, §8.4, §8.7, §8.8 or §8.12 or to any Default excluded  from any provision of cure of defaults contained in any other of the Loan Documents.  (b) In the event that there shall occur any Default or Event of Default that  affects only certain Subject Property or the Unencumbered Property Subsidiary which owns or  leases such Subject  Property, then the Borrower may cure such Default or Event of Default (so  long as no other Default or Event of Default would arise as a result) by removing such Subject  Property from the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value and by reducing the outstanding  Loans and Letters of Credit so that no Default exists under this Agreement, in which event such  removal and reduction shall be completed within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice of  such Default or Event of Default from the Agent or the Required Lenders.  

 

116  US_Active\116390121\V-6  (c) Notwithstanding anything herein or otherwise to the contrary (except clause  (b) of this §12.2), any Event of Default occurring hereunder shall continue to exist (and shall be  deemed to be continuing) until such time as such Event of Default is waived in writing in  accordance with the terms of this Agreement notwithstanding (i) any attempted cure or other action  taken by the Borrower or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of Default  or (ii) any action taken or omitted to be taken by Agent or any Lender prior to or subsequent to the  occurrence of such Event of Default (other than the granting of a waiver in writing in accordance  with the terms of this Agreement).  §12.3 Termination of Commitments.  If any one or more Events of Default specified in  §12.1(g), §12.1(h) or §12.1(i) shall occur, then immediately and without any action on the part of  the Agent or any Lender any unused portion of the credit hereunder shall terminate and the Lenders  shall be relieved of all obligations to make Loans or issue Letters of Credit to the Borrower.  If  any other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent may, and upon the  election of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower terminate the  obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans and issue Letters of Credit to the Borrower.  No  termination under this §12.3 shall relieve the Borrower of its obligations to the Lenders arising  under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.  §12.4 Remedies.  In case any one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be  continuing, and whether or not the Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans  pursuant to §12.1, the Agent on behalf of the Lenders may, and with the consent of the Required  Lenders shall, proceed to protect and enforce their rights and remedies under this Agreement, the  Notes and/or any of the other Loan Documents by suit in equity, action at law or other appropriate  proceeding, including to the full extent permitted by Applicable Law the specific performance of  any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the  obtaining of the ex parte appointment of a receiver, and, if any amount shall have become due, by  declaration or otherwise, the enforcement of the payment thereof.  No remedy herein conferred  upon the Agent or the holder of any Note is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each  and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given  hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or any other provision of  law.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement providing that the Loans may be evidenced  by multiple Notes in favor of the Lenders, the Lenders acknowledge and agree that only the Agent  may exercise any remedies arising by reason of a Default or Event of Default.  If Borrower or any  Guarantor fails to perform any agreement or covenant contained in this Agreement or any of the  other Loan Documents beyond any applicable period for notice and cure, Agent may itself perform,  or cause to be performed, any agreement or covenant of such Person contained in this Agreement  or any of the other Loan Documents which such Person shall fail to perform, and the out-of-pocket  costs of such performance, together with any reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’  fees actually incurred (including attorneys’ fees incurred in any appeal) by Agent in connection  therewith, shall be payable by Borrower upon demand and shall constitute a part of the Obligations  and shall if not paid within five (5) Business Days after demand bear interest at the Default Rate.   In the event that all or any portion of the Obligations is collected by or through an attorney-at-law,  the Borrower shall pay all costs of collection including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s  fees.  

 

117  US_Active\116390121\V-6  §12.5 Distribution of Proceeds.  In the event that, following the occurrence and during  the continuance of any Event of Default, any monies are received in connection with the  enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or otherwise with respect to the realization upon any  of the assets of Borrower or the Guarantors, such monies shall be distributed for application as  follows:  (a) First, to the payment of, or (as the case may be) the reimbursement of the  Agent for or in respect of, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses, disbursements and losses  which shall have been paid, incurred or sustained by the Agent in connection with the collection  of such monies by the Agent, for the exercise, protection or enforcement by the Agent of all or any  of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement  or any of the other Loan Documents or in support of any provision of adequate indemnity to the  Agent against any taxes or liens which by law shall have, or may have, priority over the rights of  the Agent or the Lenders to such monies;  (b) Second, to all other Obligations (including any interest, expenses or other  obligations incurred after the commencement of a bankruptcy) in such order or preference as the  Required Lenders shall determine; provided, that (i) distributions in respect of such other  Obligations shall include, on a pari passu basis, any Agent’s fee payable pursuant to §4.2; (ii) in  the event that any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, payments to such Lender shall be governed by  §2.13, and (iii) except as otherwise provided in clause (ii), Obligations owing to the Lenders with  respect to each type of Obligation such as interest, principal, fees and expenses shall be made  among the Lenders pro rata (and, for the avoidance of doubt, as between Revolving Credit Loans,  Term Loans A and Term Loans B shall be made pro rata); and provided, further that the Required  Lenders may in their discretion make proper allowance to take into account any Obligations not  then due and payable; and  (c) Third, the excess, if any, shall be returned to the Borrower or to such other  Persons as are entitled thereto.  §12.6 Collateral Account.  (a) As collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due of all Letter  of Credit Liabilities and the other Obligations, the Borrower hereby pledges and grants to the  Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Agent and the Lenders as provided herein, a security interest  in all of its right, title and interest in and to the Collateral Account and the balances from time to  time in the Collateral Account (including the investments and reinvestments therein provided for  below).  The balances from time to time in the Collateral Account shall not constitute payment of  any Letter of Credit Liabilities until applied by the Agent as provided herein.  Anything in this  Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, funds held in the Collateral Account shall be subject  to withdrawal only as provided in this section.  The obligation of the Borrower to establish the  Collateral Account shall not arise unless and until there is an obligation to deposit funds therein  pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  (b) Amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account shall be invested and  reinvested by the Agent in such Cash Equivalents as the Agent shall determine in its sole  discretion.  All such investments and reinvestments shall be held in the name of and be under the  

 

118  US_Active\116390121\V-6  sole dominion and control of the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders.  The Agent shall  exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any funds held in the Collateral  Account and shall be deemed to have exercised such care if such funds are accorded treatment  substantially equivalent to that which the Agent accords other funds deposited with the Agent, it  being understood that the Agent shall not have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to  preserve rights against any parties with respect to any funds held in the Collateral Account.  (c) If a drawing pursuant to any Letter of Credit occurs on or prior to the  expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower and the Lenders authorize the Agent to use  the monies deposited in the Collateral Account to make payment to the beneficiary with respect to  such drawing or the payee with respect to such presentment.  (d) If an Event of Default exists, the Required Revolving Credit Lenders may,  in their discretion, at any time and from time to time, instruct the Agent to liquidate any such  investments and reinvestments and apply proceeds thereof to the Obligations in accordance with  §12.5.  (e) So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, and to the extent amounts  on deposit in the Collateral Account exceed the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities  then due and owing and the pro rata share of any Letter of Credit Liabilities of any Defaulting  Lender after giving effect to §2.13(c), the Agent shall, from time to time, at the request of the  Borrower, deliver to the Borrower within ten (10) Business Days after the Agent’s receipt of such  request from the Borrower, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation  whatsoever, such of the balances in the Collateral Account as exceed the aggregate amount of the  Letter of Credit Liabilities at such time.  (f) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent from time to time such fees as the  Agent normally charges for similar services in connection with the Agent’s administration of the  Collateral Account and investments and reinvestments of funds therein.  The Borrower authorizes  Agent to file such financing statements as Agent may reasonably require in order to perfect Agent’s  security interest in the Collateral Account, and Borrower shall promptly upon demand execute and  deliver to Agent such other documents as Agent may reasonably request to evidence its security  interest in the Collateral Account.  §13. SETOFF.  Regardless of the adequacy of any collateral, during the continuance of any Event of  Default, any deposits (general or specific, time or demand, provisional or final, regardless of  currency, maturity, or the branch where such deposits are held) or other sums credited by or due  from any Lender to the Borrower or the Guarantors and any securities or other property of the  Borrower or the Guarantors in the possession of such Lender may, without notice to Borrower or  any Guarantor (any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower, Parent and each of the other  Guarantors) but with the prior written approval of Agent, be applied to or set off against the  payment of Obligations and any and all other liabilities, direct, or indirect, absolute or contingent,  due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, of the Borrower or the Guarantors to such  Lender.  Each of the Lenders agrees with each other Lender that if such Lender shall receive from  the Borrower or the Guarantors, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of the right of setoff, or  

 

119  US_Active\116390121\V-6  otherwise, and shall retain and apply to the payment of the Note or Notes held by such Lender any  amount in excess of its ratable portion of the payments received by all of the Lenders with respect  to the Notes held by all of the Lenders, such Lender will make such disposition and arrangements  with the other Lenders with respect to such excess, either by way of distribution, pro tanto  assignment of claims, subrogation or otherwise as shall result in each Lender receiving in respect  of the Notes held by it its proportionate payment as contemplated by this Agreement; provided  that if all or any part of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such  disposition and arrangements shall be rescinded and the amount restored to the extent of such  recovery, but without interest.  In the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such  right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Agent for further  application in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement 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 Agent and the Lenders, and (b) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the  Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender  as to which it exercised such right of setoff.  Lender agrees to notify the Borrower promptly after  any such set off and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not give the  Borrower any cause of action or right to damages or affect the validity of such set off and  application.  §14. THE AGENT.  §14.1 Authorization.  The Agent is authorized to take such action on behalf of each of the  Lenders and to exercise all such powers as are hereunder and under any of the other Loan  Documents and any related documents delegated to the Agent, together with such powers as are  reasonably incident thereto, provided that no duties or responsibilities not expressly assumed  herein or therein shall be implied to have been assumed by the Agent.  The obligations of the Agent  hereunder are primarily administrative in nature, and nothing contained in this Agreement or any  of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to constitute the Agent as a trustee for any Lender  or to create an agency or fiduciary relationship.  Agent shall act as the contractual representative  of the Lenders hereunder, and notwithstanding the use of the term “Agent”, it is understood and  agreed that Agent shall not have any fiduciary duties or responsibilities to any Lender by reason  of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and is acting as an independent contractor, the  duties and responsibilities of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and  the other Loan Documents.  The Borrower and any other Person shall be entitled to conclusively  rely on a statement from the Agent that it has the authority to act for and bind the Lenders pursuant  to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  §14.2 Employees and Agents.  The Agent may exercise its powers and execute its duties  by or through employees or agents and shall be entitled to take, and to rely on, advice of counsel  concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan  Documents. The Agent may utilize the services of such Persons as the Agent may reasonably  determine, and all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of any such Persons shall be paid  by the Borrower.  §14.3 No Liability.  Neither the Agent nor any of its shareholders, directors, officers or  employees nor any other Person assisting them in their duties nor any agent, or employee thereof,  shall be liable for (a) any waiver, consent or approval given or any action taken, or omitted to be  

 

120  US_Active\116390121\V-6  taken, in good faith by it or them hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or in  connection herewith or therewith, or be responsible for the consequences of any oversight or error  of judgment whatsoever, except that the Agent or such other Person, as the case may be, shall be  liable for losses due to its bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence as finally determined  by a court of competent jurisdiction after the expiration of all applicable appeal periods or (b) any  action taken or not taken by Agent with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders, the  Required Revolving Credit Lenders, the Required Term Loan A Lenders or the Required Term  Loan B Lenders, as applicable.  The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the  occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of  principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless  the Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to the Loan Documents and  describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice  is a “notice of default”.  §14.4 No Representations.  The Agent shall not be responsible for the execution or  validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes, any of the other Loan Documents or any  instrument at any time constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security for the Notes, or  for the value of any such collateral security or for the validity, enforceability or collectability of  any such amounts owing with respect to the Notes, or for any recitals or statements, warranties or  representations made herein, or any agreement, instrument or certificate delivered in connection  therewith or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate or instrument hereafter  furnished to it by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective  Subsidiaries, or be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the  terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein or in any of the other Loan Documents.  The  Agent shall not be bound to ascertain whether any notice, consent, waiver or request delivered to  it by the Borrower, the Guarantors or any holder of any of the Notes shall have been duly  authorized or is true, accurate and complete.  The Agent has not made nor does it now make any  representations or warranties, express or implied, nor does it assume any liability to the Lenders,  with respect to the creditworthiness or financial condition of the Borrower, the Guarantors, or any  of their respective Subsidiaries, or the value of any assets of the Borrower or the Guarantors or  any of their respective Subsidiaries.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and  without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based upon such information and  documents as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into  this Agreement.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance  upon the Agent or any other Lender, based upon such information and documents as it deems  appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis and decisions in taking or not  taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Agent’s Special Counsel has  only represented Agent and KeyBank in connection with the Loan Documents and the only  attorney client relationship or duty of care is between Agent’s Special Counsel and Agent or  KeyBank. Each Lender has been independently represented by separate counsel on all matters  regarding the Loan Documents.  §14.5 Payments.  (a) A payment by the Borrower or any Guarantor to the Agent hereunder or  under any of the other Loan Documents for the account of any Lender shall constitute a payment  to such Lender.  The Agent agrees to distribute to each Lender not later than one Business Day  

 

121  US_Active\116390121\V-6  after the Agent’s receipt of good funds, determined in accordance with the Agent’s customary  practices, such Lender’s pro rata share of payments received by the Agent for the account of the  Lenders except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents.   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, each  payment by the Borrower hereunder shall be applied in accordance with §2.13(d).   (b) If in the opinion of the Agent the distribution of any amount received by it  in such capacity hereunder, under the Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents might  involve it in liability, it may refrain from making such distribution until its right to make such  distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction.  If a court of  competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Agent is to  be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to  the Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same  in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court.  §14.6 Holders of Notes.  Subject to the terms of §18, the Agent may deem and treat the  payee of any Note as the absolute owner or purchaser thereof for all purposes hereof until it shall  have been furnished in writing with a different name by such payee or by a subsequent holder,  assignee or transferee.  §14.7 Indemnity.  The Lenders ratably agree hereby to indemnify and hold harmless the  Agent from and against any and all claims, actions and suits (whether groundless or otherwise),  losses, damages, costs, expenses (including any expenses for which the Agent has not been  reimbursed by the Borrower as required by §15), and liabilities of every nature and character  arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Notes, or any of the other Loan Documents or the  transactions contemplated or evidenced hereby or thereby, or the Agent’s actions taken hereunder  or thereunder, except to the extent that any of the same shall be directly caused by the Agent’s  willful misconduct or gross negligence as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction  after the expiration of all applicable appeal periods.  The agreements in this §14.7 shall survive the  payment of all amounts payable under the Loan Documents.  §14.8 Agent as Lender.  In its individual capacity, KeyBank shall have the same  obligations and the same rights, powers and privileges in respect to its Commitment and the Loans  made by it, and as the holder of any of the Notes as it would have were it not also the Agent.  §14.9 Resignation.  The Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) calendar days’  prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower.  Any such resignation may at Agent’s  option also constitute Agent’s resignation as Issuing Lender.  Upon any such resignation, the  Required Lenders, subject to the terms of §18.1, shall have the right to appoint as a successor  Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender, any Lender or any bank whose senior debt obligations  are rated not less than “A” or its equivalent by Moody’s or not less than “A” or its equivalent by  S&P and which has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000.00.  Unless a Default or Event of  Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such successor Agent and, if applicable, Issuing  Lender, shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower.  If no successor Agent shall have been  appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring  Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders,  

 

122  US_Active\116390121\V-6  appoint a successor Agent, which shall be any Lender or any bank whose senior debt obligations  are rated not less than “A2” or its equivalent by Moody’s or not less than “A” or its equivalent by  S&P and which has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000.00.  Upon the acceptance of any  appointment as Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender, hereunder by a successor Agent and, if  applicable, Issuing Lender, such successor Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender, shall  thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the  retiring Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender, and the retiring Agent and, if applicable, Issuing  Lender, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder as Agent and, if applicable,  Issuing Lender.  After any retiring Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Agreement and the  other Loan Documents shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or  omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent and Issuing Lender.  If the resigning Agent  shall also resign as the Issuing Lender, such successor Agent shall issue letters of credit in  substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or shall  make other arrangements satisfactory to the current Issuing Lender, in either case, to assume  effectively the obligations of the current Agent with respect to such Letters of Credit.  Upon any  change in the Agent under this Agreement, the resigning Agent shall execute such assignments of  and amendments to the Loan Documents as may be necessary to substitute the successor Agent  for the resigning Agent.  §14.10 Duties in the Case of Enforcement.  In case one or more Events of Default have  occurred and shall be continuing, and whether or not acceleration of the Obligations shall have  occurred, the Agent may and, if (a) so requested by the Required Lenders and (b) the Lenders have  provided to the Agent such additional indemnities and assurances in accordance with their  respective Commitment Percentages against expenses and liabilities as the Agent may reasonably  request, shall proceed to exercise all or any legal and equitable and other rights or remedies as it  may have; provided, however, that unless and until the Agent shall have received such directions,  the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action,  with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Lenders.   Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Agent reasonably determines payment is in the  best interest of all the Lenders, Agent may without the approval of the Lenders pay taxes and  insurance premiums and spend money for maintenance, repairs or other expenses which may be  necessary to be incurred, and Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Lenders of such action.   Each Lender shall, within thirty (30) days of request therefor, pay to the Agent its Commitment  Percentage of the reasonable costs incurred by the Agent in taking any such actions hereunder to  the extent that such costs shall not be promptly reimbursed to the Agent by the Borrower or the  Guarantors within such period.  The Required Lenders may direct the Agent in writing as to the  method and the extent of any such exercise, the Lenders hereby agreeing to indemnify and hold  the Agent harmless in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages from all  liabilities incurred in respect of all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such directions,  provided that the Agent need not comply with any such direction to the extent that the Agent  reasonably believes the Agent’s compliance with such direction to be unlawful in any applicable  jurisdiction or commercially unreasonable in any applicable jurisdiction.  §14.11 Bankruptcy.  In the event a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding is  commenced by or against Borrower or any Guarantor with respect to the Obligations, the Agent  shall have the sole and exclusive right to file and pursue a joint proof claim on behalf of all Lenders.   Any votes with respect to such claims or otherwise with respect to such proceedings shall be  

 

123  US_Active\116390121\V-6  subject to the vote of the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders as required by this Agreement.   Each Lender irrevocably waives its right to file or pursue a separate proof of claim in any such  proceedings unless Agent fails to file such claim within thirty (30) days after receipt of written  notice from the Lenders requesting that Agent file such proof of claim.  §14.12 Reliance by Agent.  The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur  any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument,  document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting  or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise  authenticated by an Authorized Officer.  The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it  orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not  incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder  to the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the  satisfaction of a Lender, the Agent (or Issuing Lender, as applicable) may presume that such  condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Agent (or Issuing Lender, as applicable) shall  have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan or issuance  of such Letter of Credit.  The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the  Borrower and/or the Guarantors), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and  shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such  counsel, accountants or experts.  §14.13 Approvals.  If consent is required for some action under this Agreement, or except  as otherwise provided herein an approval of the Lenders, the Required Lenders, the Required  Revolving Credit Lenders, the Required Term Loan A Lenders or the Required Term Loan B  Lenders is required or permitted under this Agreement, each Lender agrees to give the Agent,  within ten (10) days of receipt of the request for action together with all reasonably requested  information related thereto (or such lesser period of time required by the terms of the Loan  Documents), notice in writing of  approval or disapproval (collectively “Directions”) in respect of  any action requested or proposed in writing pursuant to the terms hereof.  To the extent that any  Lender does not approve any recommendation of Agent, such Lender shall in such notice to Agent  describe the actions that would be acceptable to such Lender.  If consent is required for the  requested action, any Lender’s failure to respond to a request for Directions within the required  time period shall be deemed to constitute a Direction to take such requested action.  In the event  that any recommendation is not approved by the requisite number of Lenders and a subsequent  approval on the same subject matter is requested by Agent, then for the purposes of this  paragraph each Lender shall be required to respond to a request for Directions within five  (5) Business Days of receipt of such request.  Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to assume  that any officer of the other Lenders delivering any notice, consent, certificate or other writing is  authorized to give such notice, consent, certificate or other writing unless Agent and such other  Lenders have otherwise been notified in writing.  §14.14 Borrower Not Beneficiary.  Except for the provisions of §14.9 relating to the  appointment of a successor Agent, the provisions of this §14 are solely for the benefit of the Agent  and the Lenders, may not be enforced by the Borrower or any Guarantor, and except for the  provisions of §14.9, may be modified or waived without the approval or consent of the Borrower  and Guarantors.  

 

124  US_Active\116390121\V-6  §15. EXPENSES.  The Borrower agrees to pay (a) the reasonable costs of producing and reproducing this  Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other agreements and instruments mentioned  herein, (b) [intentionally omitted], (c) the reasonable and documented fees, expenses and  disbursements of the outside counsel to the Agent incurred in connection with the preparation,  administration, or interpretation of the Loan Documents and other instruments mentioned herein,  and amendments, modifications, approvals, consents or waivers hereto or hereunder, (d) the  reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of Agent incurred in connection  with the syndication and/or participation of the Loans, (e) all other reasonable and documented  out-of-pocket fees, expenses and disbursements of the Agent incurred by the Agent in connection  with the preparation or interpretation of the Loan Documents and other instruments mentioned  herein, the addition or substitution of additional Subject Properties, the making of each advance  hereunder, the issuance of Letters of Credit, and the syndication of the Commitments pursuant to  §18 (without duplication of those items addressed in subparagraph (d), above), (f) all out-of-pocket  expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs, and the fees and costs of appraisers, engineers,  investment bankers or other experts retained by any Lender or the Agent) incurred by any Lender  or the Agent in connection with (i) the enforcement of or preservation of rights under any of the  Loan Documents against the Borrower or the Guarantors or the administration thereof after the  occurrence of a Default or Event of Default and (ii) any litigation, proceeding or dispute whether  arising hereunder or otherwise, in any way related to the Agent’s or any of the Lenders’  relationship with the Borrower or the Guarantors, (g) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket  fees, expenses and disbursements of the Agent incurred in connection with UCC searches and/or  title searches, (h) all reasonable out-of-pocket fees, expenses and disbursements (including  reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) which may be incurred by KeyBank in connection with the  execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (without duplication of  any of the items listed above), and (i) all expenses relating to the use of Intralinks, SyndTrak or  any other similar system for the dissemination and sharing of documents and information in  connection with the Loans.

INDEMNIFICATION.  The Borrower and Parent, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless the  Agent, the Lenders and the Joint-Lead Arrangers and each director, officer, employee, agent and  Person who controls the Agent or any Lender or the Joint-Lead Arrangers against any and all  claims, actions and suits, whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against any and all  liabilities, losses, damages and expenses of every nature and character arising out of or relating to  this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and  thereby (but not including separate financings provided by any Lender to a Subsidiary of Borrower  that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor or an Unencumbered Property Subsidiary) including, without  limitation, (a) any and all claims for brokerage, leasing, finders or similar fees which may be made  relating to the Subject Properties or the Loans, (b) any condition of the Subject Properties or any  other Real Estate, (c) any actual or proposed use by the Borrower of the proceeds of any of the  Loans or Letters of Credit, (d) any actual or alleged infringement of any patent, copyright,  

 

125  US_Active\116390121\V-6  trademark, service mark or similar right of the Borrower, the Guarantors, or any of their respective  Subsidiaries, (e) the Borrower and the Guarantors entering into or performing this Agreement or  any of the other Loan Documents, (f) any actual or alleged violation of any law, ordinance, code,  order, rule, regulation, approval, consent, permit or license relating to the Subject Properties or  any other Real Estate, (g) with respect to the Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective  Subsidiaries and their respective properties and assets, the violation of any Environmental Law,  the Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Substances or any action, suit, proceeding or  investigation brought or threatened with respect to any Hazardous Substances (including, but not  limited to, claims with respect to wrongful death, personal injury, nuisance or damage to property),  and (h) any use of Intralinks, SyndTrak or any other system for the dissemination and sharing of  documents and information, in each case including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and  disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other  proceeding; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated under this §16 to  indemnify any Person for liabilities arising from such Person’s own gross negligence or willful  misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all applicable  appeal periods.  In litigation, or the preparation therefor, the Lenders and the Agent shall be entitled  to select a single law firm as their own counsel and, in addition to the foregoing indemnity, the  Borrower agrees to pay promptly the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel.  No person  indemnified hereunder 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.    If, and to the extent  that the obligations of the Borrower under this §16 are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower  hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment in satisfaction of such obligations  which is permissible under Applicable Law.  The provisions of this §16 shall survive the repayment  of the Loans, the return of the Letters of Credit and the termination of the obligations of the Lenders  hereunder.  §17. SURVIVAL OF COVENANTS, ETC.  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein, in the Notes, in  any of the other Loan Documents or in any documents or other papers delivered by or on behalf  of the Borrower or the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries pursuant hereto or thereto  shall be deemed to have been relied upon by the Lenders and the Agent, notwithstanding any  investigation heretofore or hereafter made by any of them, and shall survive the making by the  Lenders of any of the Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, as herein contemplated, and  shall continue in full force and effect so long as any amount due under this Agreement or the Notes  or any of the other Loan Documents remains outstanding or any Letters of Credit remain  outstanding or any Lender has any obligation to make any Loans or issue any Letters of Credit.   The indemnification obligations of the Borrower provided herein and in the other Loan Documents  shall survive the full repayment of amounts due and the termination of the obligations of the  Lenders hereunder and thereunder to the extent provided herein and therein.  All statements  contained in any certificate delivered to any Lender or the Agent at any time by or on behalf of the  Borrower or the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries pursuant hereto or in connection  with the transactions contemplated hereby shall constitute representations and warranties by such  Person hereunder.  

 

126  US_Active\116390121\V-6  §18. ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATION.  §18.1 Conditions to Assignment by Lenders.  Except as provided herein, each Lender  may assign to one or more banks or other entities (but not to any natural person) all or a portion of  its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its  Commitment Percentage and Commitment and the same portion of the Loans at the time owing to  it and the Notes held by it); provided that (a) the Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of  Default exists hereunder, the Borrower shall have each given its prior written consent to such  assignment, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that (i) such  consent shall not be required for any assignment to another Lender, to a lender which is and  remains under common control with the assigning Lender or to a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of  such Lender, provided that such assignee shall remain a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of such Lender  and (ii) the Borrower will be deemed to have consented unless it provides notice to the Agent and  the assigning Lender of its disapproval within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt of such request  and), (b) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all the  assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Revolving  Credit Commitment in the event an interest in the Revolving Credit Loans is assigned, or of a  constant, and not a varying, percentage of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under  this Agreement with respect to the Term Loan A Commitment in the event an interest in the Term  Loans A is assigned, or of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all the assigning Lender’s  rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Term Loan B Commitment in the  event an interest in the Term Loans B is assigned, (c) the parties to such assignment shall execute  and deliver to the Agent, for recording in the Register (as hereinafter defined) an Assignment and  Acceptance Agreement in the form of Exhibit G annexed hereto, together with any Notes subject  to such assignment, (d) in no event shall any assignment be to (i) any Person controlling, controlled  by or under common control with, the Borrower or any Guarantor or (ii) a Defaulting Lender or  an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender, (e) such assignee shall have a net worth or unfunded  commitment as of the date of such assignment of not less than $100,000,000.00 (unless otherwise  approved by Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, Borrower),  (f) such assignee shall acquire an interest in the Loans of not less than $5,000,000.00 and integral  multiples of $1,000,000.00 in excess thereof (or if less, the remaining Loans of the assignor),  unless waived by the Agent, and so long as no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, the  Borrower, (g) if such assignment is less than the assigning Lender’s entire Commitment, the  assigning Lender shall retain an interest in the Loans of not less than $5,000,000.00, and (h) such  assignee shall be subject to the terms of any intercreditor agreement among the Lenders and the  Agent.  Upon execution, delivery, acceptance and recording of such Assignment and Acceptance  Agreement, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and all other Loan Documents  executed by the Lenders and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance  Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder, (ii) the assigning Lender shall,  upon payment to the Agent of the registration fee referred to in §18.2, be released from its  obligations under this Agreement arising after the effective date of such assignment with respect  to the assigned portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (iii) the  Agent may unilaterally amend Schedule 1 hereto to reflect such assignment.  In connection with  each assignment, the assignee shall represent and warrant to the Agent, the assignor and each other  Lender as to whether such assignee is controlling, controlled by, under common control with or is  not otherwise free from influence or control by, the Borrower or any Guarantor and whether such  assignee is a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender.  In connection with any  

 

127  US_Active\116390121\V-6  assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender, 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 Agent in an aggregate amount  sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by  the assignee of participations or actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and  the 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 Agent or any 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 in accordance  with its Commitment 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.  Furthermore, in connection with the syndication of the Loan by Agent  and Arranger, the Borrower agree to assist Agent and Arranger actively in achieving a timely  syndication that is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, Agent and Arranger, such assistance  to include, among other things, (i) direct contact during the syndication between the Borrower’s  senior officers, representatives and advisors, on the one hand, and prospective Lenders, on the  other hand at such times and places as Agent or Arranger may reasonably request, (ii) providing  to Agent and Arranger all financial and other information with respect to the Borrower and the  transactions contemplated hereunder that Agent or Arranger may reasonably request, including but  not limited to financial projections relating to the foregoing, and (iii) assistance in the preparation  of a confidential information memorandum and other marketing materials to be used in connection  with the syndication.  §18.2 Register.  The Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent for Borrower,  shall maintain on behalf of the Borrower a copy of each assignment delivered to it and a register  or similar list (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and  the Commitment Percentages of and principal amount of the Loans owing to the Lenders from  time to time.  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and  the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is  recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register  shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and the Lenders at any reasonable time and from  time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  Upon each such recordation, the assigning Lender  agrees to pay to the Agent a registration fee in the sum of $5,000.00.  §18.3 New Notes.  Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement  executed by the parties to such assignment, together with each Note subject to such assignment,  the Agent shall record the information contained therein in the Register.  Within five (5) Business  Days after receipt of notice of such assignment from Agent, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall  execute and deliver to the Agent, in exchange for each surrendered Note, a new Note to the order  of such assignee in an amount equal to the amount assigned to such assignee pursuant to such  Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and, if the assigning Lender has retained some portion of  its obligations hereunder, a new Note to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to  the amount retained by it hereunder.  Such new Notes shall provide that they are replacements for  the surrendered Notes, shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal  

 

128  US_Active\116390121\V-6  amount of the surrendered Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and  Acceptance Agreement and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the assigned Notes.  The  surrendered Notes shall be canceled and returned to the Borrower.  §18.4 Participations.  Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Lenders or other  entities in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the  other Loan Documents; provided that (a) any such sale or participation shall not affect the rights  and duties of the selling Lender hereunder, (b) such participation shall not entitle such participant  to any rights or privileges under this Agreement or any Loan Documents, including without  limitation, rights granted to the Lenders under §4.8, §4.9 and §4.10, (c) such participation shall not  entitle the participant to the right to approve waivers, amendments or modifications, (d) such  participant shall have no direct rights against the Borrower, (e) such sale is effected in accordance  with all Applicable Laws, and (f) such participant shall not be (i) a Person controlling, controlled  by or under common control with, or which is not otherwise free from influence or control by any  of the Borrower or any Guarantor or (ii) a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender;  provided, however, such Lender may agree with the participant that it will not, without the consent  of the participant, agree to (i) increase, or extend the term or extend the time or waive any  requirement for the reduction or termination of, such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date  fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on the Loans or portions thereof owing to such  Lender (other than pursuant to an extension of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date pursuant to  §2.12), (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal, (iv) reduce the rate at which  interest is payable thereon or (v) release any Guarantor (except as otherwise permitted under this  Agreement).  Any Lender which sells a participation shall promptly notify the Agent of such sale  and the identity of the purchaser of such interest.  In addition, each Lender that sells a participation  shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary 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 or other obligations under the Loan Documents  (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or  any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information  relating to a participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, or its other obligations under any  Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish  that such Commitment, Loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c)  of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be  conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender 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.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity  as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.  §18.5 Pledge by Lender.  Any Lender may at any time pledge all or any portion of its  interest and rights under this Agreement (including all or any portion of its Note) to any of the  twelve Federal Reserve Banks organized under §4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. §341,  any other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender or to such other Person as the Agent  may approve to secure obligations of such Lenders.  No such pledge or the enforcement thereof  shall release the pledgor Lender from its obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan  Documents.  

 

129  US_Active\116390121\V-6  §18.6 No Assignment by Borrower.  The Borrower shall not assign or transfer any of its  rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each of the Lenders.  §18.7 Disclosure.  Borrower agrees to promptly cooperate with any Lender in connection  with any proposed assignment or participation of all or any portion of its Commitment.  The  Borrower agrees that in addition to disclosures made in accordance with standard banking practices  any Lender may disclose information obtained by such Lender pursuant to this Agreement to  assignees or participants and potential assignees or participants hereunder provided such Persons  are advised of the provisions of this §18.7.  Each Lender agrees for itself that it shall use reasonable  efforts in accordance with its customary procedures to hold confidential all non-public information  obtained from Parent, Borrower or any other Guarantor that has been identified verbally or in  writing as confidential by any of them, and shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with its  customary procedures to not disclose such information to any other Person, it being understood  and agreed that, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender may make (a) disclosures to its  participants (provided such Persons are advised of the provisions of this §18.7), (b) disclosures to  its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, accountants, appraisers, legal counsel and other  professional advisors of such Lender (provided that such Persons who are not employees of such  Lender are advised of the provision of this §18.7), (c) disclosures customarily provided or  reasonably required by any potential or actual bona fide assignee, transferee or participant or their  respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, accountants, appraisers, legal counsel and  other professional advisors in connection with a potential or actual assignment or transfer by such  Lender of any Loans or any participations therein (provided such Persons are advised of the  provisions of this §18.7), (d) disclosures to bank regulatory authorities or self-regulatory bodies  with jurisdiction over such Lender, or (e) disclosures required or requested by any other  Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process; provided that,  unless specifically prohibited by Applicable Law or court order, each Lender shall notify Borrower  of any request by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof prior to disclosure (other  than any such request in connection with any examination of such Lender by such government  authority) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such  information.  In addition, each Lender may make disclosure of such information to any contractual  counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisors  (provided such contractual counterparty or professional advisors are advised of the provisions of  this §18.7).  In addition, the Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement  and information about this Agreement to market data collectors and similar service providers to  the lending industry;  provided that such information is limited to deal terms and other information  customarily found in publications produced by such Persons.  Non-public information shall not  include any information which is or subsequently becomes publicly available other than as a result  of a disclosure of such information by a Lender, or prior to the delivery to such Lender is within  the possession of such Lender if such information is not known by such Lender to be subject to  another confidentiality agreement with or other obligations of secrecy to Parent, the Borrower or  the other Guarantors, or is disclosed with the prior approval of Borrower.  Nothing herein shall  prohibit the disclosure of non-public information to the extent necessary to enforce the Loan  Documents.  §18.8 Amendments to Loan Documents.  Upon any such assignment or participation, the  Borrower and the Guarantors shall, upon the request of the Agent, enter into such documents as  

 

130  US_Active\116390121\V-6  may be reasonably required by the Agent to modify the Loan Documents to reflect such assignment  or participation.  §18.9 Mandatory Assignment.  In the event the Borrower requests that certain  amendments, modifications or waivers be made to this Agreement or any of the other Loan  Documents which request is approved by Agent but is not approved by one or more of the Lenders  (any such non-consenting Lender shall hereafter be referred to as the “Non-Consenting Lender”),  then, within sixty (60) Business Days after the Borrower’s receipt of notice of such disapproval by  such Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrower shall have the right as to such Non-Consenting  Lender, to be exercised by delivery of written notice delivered to the Agent and the Non- Consenting Lender within sixty (60) Business Days of receipt of such notice, to elect to cause the  Non-Consenting Lender to transfer its Commitment.  The Agent shall promptly notify the  remaining Lenders that each of such Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire  a portion of the Commitment, pro rata based upon their relevant Commitment Percentages, of the  Non-Consenting Lender (or if any of such Lenders does not elect to purchase its pro rata share,  then to such remaining Lenders in such proportion as approved by the Agent).  In the event that  the Lenders do not elect to acquire all of the Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitment, then the  Agent shall endeavor to find a new Lender or Lenders to acquire such remaining Commitment.   Upon any such purchase of the Commitment of the Non-Consenting Lender, the Non-Consenting  Lender’s interests in the Obligations and its rights and obligations hereunder and under the Loan  Documents shall terminate at the date of purchase, and the Non-Consenting Lender shall promptly  execute and deliver any and all documents reasonably requested by Agent to surrender and transfer  such interest, including, without limitation, an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement in the form  attached hereto as Exhibit G and such Non-Consenting Lender’s original Note.  The purchase price  for the Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitment shall equal any and all amounts outstanding and  owed by the Borrower to the Non-Consenting Lender, including principal and all accrued and  unpaid interest or fees, plus any applicable amounts payable pursuant to §4.8 which would be  owed to such Non-Consenting Lender if the Loans were to be repaid in full on the date of such  purchase of the Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitment (provided that the Borrower may pay to  such Non-Consenting Lender any interest, fees or other amounts (other than principal) owing to  such Non-Consenting Lender).  §18.10 Titled Agents.  The Titled Agents shall not have any additional rights or obligations  under the Loan Documents, except for those rights, if any, as a Lender.  §19. NOTICES.

Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver because of changed  address for which no notice was given shall be deemed to be receipt of the Notice sent.

(c) Notices and other communications to the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing  Lender hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail  and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Agent, provided that the  foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or Issuing Lender pursuant to §2 if such Lender  or Issuing Lender, as applicable, has notified the Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices  under such Section by electronic communication.  The Agent or the Borrower may, in its  discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic  communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures  may be limited to particular notices or communications.  Unless the Agent otherwise prescribes,  (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the  sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt  requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices  or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the  deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause  (i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website  address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, e-mail or other  communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or  communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business  day for the recipient.  §20. RELATIONSHIP.  Neither the Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or fiduciary duty to  the Borrower, the Guarantors or their respective Subsidiaries arising out of or in connection with  this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereunder and  

 

133  US_Active\116390121\V-6  thereunder, and the relationship between each Lender and Agent, and the Borrower is solely that  of a lender and borrower, and nothing contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents  shall in any manner be construed as making the parties hereto partners, joint venturers or any other  relationship other than lender and borrower.  §21. GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND SERVICE.  THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS,  EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED HEREIN OR THEREIN,  SHALL, PURSUANT TO NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW  SECTION 5-1401, BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

THE BORROWER  FURTHER ACCEPTS, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE  NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND ANY RELATED  APPELLATE COURT AND IRREVOCABLY (i) AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ANY  JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT AND  ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND (ii) WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT  MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH  PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH A COURT IS AN  INCONVENIENT FORUM.  THE BORROWER FURTHER AGREES THAT SERVICE  OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH SUIT MAY BE MADE UPON THE BORROWER BY MAIL  AT THE ADDRESS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 19 HEREOF.  IN ADDITION TO THE  COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR ANY FEDERAL COURT SITTING  THEREIN, THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER MAY BRING ACTION(S) FOR  ENFORCEMENT ON A NONEXCLUSIVE BASIS WHERE ANY ASSETS OF  BORROWER OR ANY GUARANTOR EXIST AND THE BORROWER CONSENTS TO  THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND THE SERVICE OF  PROCESS IN ANY SUCH SUIT BEING MADE UPON THE BORROWER BY MAIL AT  THE ADDRESS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 19 HEREOF.  §22.

EACH OF THE BORROWER, PARENT, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS  HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION  OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF ANY DISPUTE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS  AGREEMENT, ANY NOTE OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, ANY  RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER OR THE  PERFORMANCE OF SUCH RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS.  THE BORROWER  HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY  SUCH LITIGATION ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES  AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, PUNITIVE OR ANY  DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES.  EACH OF  THE BORROWER AND PARENT (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE,  AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY LENDER OR THE AGENT HAS REPRESENTED,  EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH LENDER OR THE AGENT WOULD NOT,  IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS  AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HAVE BEEN  INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN  DOCUMENTS TO WHICH THEY ARE PARTIES BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE  WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS CONTAINED IN THIS §25.  EACH OF THE  BORROWER AND PARENT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS HAD AN  OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THIS §25 WITH LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT EACH  OF THE BORROWER AND PARENT AGREES TO THE FOREGOING AS ITS FREE,  KNOWING AND VOLUNTARY ACT.  §26. DEALINGS WITH THE BORROWER.  The Agent, the Lenders and their affiliates may accept deposits from, extend credit to,  invest in, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor of, and generally engage in  any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective  Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates regardless of the capacity of the Agent or the Lender  hereunder.  The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, KeyBank or its Affiliates  may receive information regarding such Persons (including information that may be subject to  confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Agent shall be under  no obligation to provide such information to them.  Borrower acknowledges, on behalf of itself  and its Affiliates, that the Agent and each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be  providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) in  

 

135  US_Active\116390121\V-6  which Borrower and its Affiliates may have conflicting interests regarding the transactions  described herein and otherwise.  Neither the Agent nor any Lender will use confidential  information described in §18.7 obtained from Borrower by virtue of the transactions contemplated  hereby or its other relationships with Borrower and its Affiliates in connection with the  performance by the Agent or such Lender or their respective Affiliates of services for other  companies, and neither the Agent nor any Lender nor their Affiliates will furnish any such  information to other companies.  Borrower, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, also acknowledges  that neither the Agent nor any Lender has any obligation to use in connection with the transactions  contemplated hereby, or to furnish to Borrower, confidential information obtained from other  companies.  Borrower, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, further acknowledges that one or more  of the Agent and Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be a full service securities firm and  may from time to time effect transactions, for its own or its Affiliates’ account or the account of  customers, and hold positions in loans, securities or options on loans or securities of Borrower and  its Affiliates.  §27. CONSENTS, AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS, ETC.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement (including, without limitation,  in §4.17), any consent or approval required or permitted by this Agreement may be given, and any  term of this Agreement or of any other instrument related hereto or mentioned herein may be  amended, and the performance or observance by the Borrower or the Guarantors of any terms of  this Agreement or such other instrument or the continuance of any Default or Event of Default  may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively)  with, but only with, the written consent of the Required Lenders; provided, however, that the  Agreement Regarding Fees may be amended or otherwise modified, or rights or privileges  thereunder waived, in a writing executed by the parties thereto only. Notwithstanding the  foregoing, none of the following may occur without the written consent of:  (a) in the case of a  reduction in the rate of interest on the Notes (other than a reduction or waiver of default interest),  the consent of each Lender holding a Note affected by such interest rate reduction; (b)(i) in the  case of an increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment, Term Loan A Commitment, Term Loan  B Commitment or the amount of the Commitments of any Lender, the consent of such Lender  whose Commitment is increased, or (ii) in the case of any increase in the Total Commitment, each  Lender (except, in each case, as provided in §2.11 and §18.1); (c) in the case of a forgiveness,  reduction or waiver of the principal of any unpaid Loan or any interest thereon or fee payable  under the Loan Documents, the consent of each Lender that would have otherwise received such  principal, interest or fee; (d) in the case of a change in the amount of any fee payable to a Lender  hereunder, the consent of each Lender to which such fee would otherwise be owed; (e) in the case  of the postponement of any date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on the Loan, the  consent of each Lender that would otherwise have received such principal or interest at such earlier  fixed date; (f) in the case of an extension of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (except as provided  in §2.12), the Term Loan A Maturity Date or the Term Loan B Maturity Date, each Lender whose  Commitment is thereby extended; (g) in the case of a change in the manner of distribution of any  payments to the Lenders or the Agent, the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (h) the  release of the Borrower or any Guarantor except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the  consent of each Lender; (i) in the case of an amendment of the definition of Required Lenders,  each Lender, in the case of an amendment of the definition of Required Revolving Credit Lenders,  each Revolving Credit Lender, in the case of an amendment to the definition of Required Term  

 

136  US_Active\116390121\V-6  Loan A Lenders, each Term Loan A Lender, and, in the case of an amendment to the definition of  Required Term Loan B Lenders, each Term Loan B Lender; (j) in the case of any modification to  require a Lender to fund a pro rata share of a request for any advance of the Loan to Borrower  other than based on such Lender’s Commitment Percentage, the consent of each such Lender  thereby required to fund a pro rata share other than based on its Commitment Percentage; (k) in  the case of an amendment to this §27, each Lender directly affected thereby; (l) in the case of an  amendment of any provision of this Agreement or the Loan Documents which requires the  approval of all of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, to require a lesser number of Lenders to  approve such action, each Lender, in the case of an amendment of any provision of any Loan  Document that requires the approval of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders to require a lesser  number of Lenders to approve such action, each Revolving Credit Lender, in the case of an  amendment to any provision of the Loan Documents that requires the approval of  the Required  Term Loan A Lenders to require a lesser number of Lenders to approve such action, each Term  Loan A Lender or, in the case of an amendment to any provision of the Loan Documents that  requires the approval of the Required Term Loan B Lenders to require a lesser number of Lenders  to approve such action, each Term Loan B Lender; or (m)(i) in the case of an amendment or waiver  of the conditions contained in §11 as to all Revolving Credit Lenders making any Revolving Credit  Loan or issuing any Letter of Credit, the consent of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders, or (ii)  in the case of an amendment or waiver of the conditions contained in §11 as to all Term Loan B  Lenders making any Term Loan B during the Term Loan B Commitment Period, the consent of  the Required Term Loan B Lenders.  There shall be no amendment, modification or waiver of any  provision in the Loan Documents which result in a modification of the conditions to funding or in  increased borrowing availability with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitment without the  written consent of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders, the Term Loan A Commitment without  the consent of the Required Term Loan A Lenders, the Term Loan B Commitment without the  consent of the Required Term Loan B Lenders, nor any amendment, modification or waiver that  disproportionately affects the Revolving Credit Lenders, the Term Loan A Lenders or Term Loan  B Lenders without the approval of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders, Required Term Loan  A Lenders or Required Term Loan B Lenders, respectively. Notwithstanding anything to the  contrary herein, 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, except as provided in §2.12, 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  disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such  Defaulting Lender.  The provisions of §14 may not be amended without the written consent of the  Agent.  There shall be no amendment, modification or waiver of any provision in the Loan  Documents with respect to Letters of Credit without the consent of the Issuing Lender. The  Borrower agrees to enter into such modifications or amendments of this Agreement or the other  Loan Documents as reasonably may be requested by KeyBank in connection with the syndication  of the Loan, provided that no such amendment or modification materially affects or increases any  of the obligations of the Borrower hereunder.  No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation  not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon.  No course of dealing or delay or  omission on the part of the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver  

 

137  US_Active\116390121\V-6  thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto.  No notice to or demand upon any of the Borrower or  the Guarantors shall entitle the Borrower or any Guarantor to other or further notice or demand in  similar or other circumstances.  Further notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this §27, if the Agent and the Borrower  have jointly identified an ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect in any  provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or an inconsistency between provisions  of this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents, the Agent and the Borrower shall be  permitted to amend, modify or supplement such provision or provisions to cure such ambiguity,  omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency so long as to do so would not adversely affect the  interest of the Lenders.  Any such amendment, modification or supplement shall become effective  without any further action or consent of any of other party to this Agreement.  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including this §27, this Agreement may be amended  by Borrower and Agent to provide for any Commitment Increase in the manner contemplated by  §2.11 and the extension of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date as provided in §2.12.    §28. SEVERABILITY.  The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if any one clause or provision hereof  shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity  or unenforceability shall affect only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction,  and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or any other  clause or provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction.  §29. TIME OF THE ESSENCE.  Time is of the essence with respect to each and every covenant, agreement and obligation  of the Borrower and the Guarantors under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  §30. NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS.  THE LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN  THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR,  CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.   THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.   ANY ADDITIONAL TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES ARE  SET FORTH BELOW.  §31. REPLACEMENT NOTES.  Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Borrower of the loss, theft, destruction  or mutilation of any Note, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of  an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory to Borrower or, in the case of any such mutilation,  upon surrender and cancellation of the applicable Note, Borrower will execute and deliver, in lieu  thereof, a replacement Note, identical in form and substance to the applicable Note and dated as  of the date of the applicable Note and upon such execution and delivery all references in the Loan  Documents to such Note shall be deemed to refer to such replacement Note.  

 

138  US_Active\116390121\V-6  §32. NO THIRD PARTIES BENEFITED.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are made and entered into for the sole  protection and legal benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Agent, the Joint-Lead Arrangers and  their permitted successors and assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal  beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this  Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.  All conditions to the performance of the  obligations of the Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement, including the obligation to make  Loans and issue Letters of Credit, are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of the Agent  and the Lenders and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions  in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that the Agent and the Lenders will refuse  to make Loans or issue Letters of Credit in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof  and no other Person shall, under any circumstances, be deemed to be a beneficiary of such  conditions, any and all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by the Agent and the  Lenders at any time if in their sole discretion they deem it desirable to do so.  In particular, the  Agent and the Lenders make no representations and assume no obligations as to third parties  concerning the quality of the construction by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any  development or the absence therefrom of defects.  §33. PATRIOT ACT.  Each Lender and the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies  Borrower and Guarantors that, pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to  obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower and the Guarantors, which  information includes names and addresses and other information that will allow such Lender or  the Agent, as applicable, to identify Borrower and the Guarantors in accordance with the Patriot  Act.  §34. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND CONSENT TO BAIL-IN OF AFFECTED FINANCIAL  INSTITUTIONS.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other  agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges  that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the  extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the  applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be  bound by:  (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the  applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to  it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and  (b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if  applicable:  (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;  (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other  instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge  institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other  

 

139  US_Active\116390121\V-6  instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such  liability under this Agreement 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 the applicable Resolution Authority.  §35. AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF LOAN DOCUMENTS.   Any payment that is due and payable to any Lender under the Original Credit Agreement  as of the date of this Agreement shall be due and payable in the amount determined pursuant to  the Original Credit Agreement for periods prior to the Closing Date on the next payment date for  such interest or fee set forth in this Agreement.  §36. WAIVER OF CLAIMS.  Borrower and Parent acknowledge, represent and agree that Borrower and Guarantors as  of the date hereof have no defenses, setoffs, claims, counterclaims or causes of action of any kind  or nature whatsoever with respect to the “Loan Documents” (as defined in the Original Credit  Agreement and this Agreement), the administration or funding of the “Loans” (as defined in the  Original Credit Agreement and this Agreement), or with respect to any acts or omissions of Agent  or any past or present directors, officers, agents or employees of Agent or any of the Lenders,  whether under the Original Credit Agreement or this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and each  of Borrower and Parent does hereby expressly waive, release and relinquish any and all such  defenses, setoffs, claims, counterclaims and causes of action, if any.   §37. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT REGARDING ANY SUPPORTED QFCs.  To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise,  for  a Derivatives Contract or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC  Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as  follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under  the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and  Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special  Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the  provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC  may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United  States or any other state of the United States):  In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”)  becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such  Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or  under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such  Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the  same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the  Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in  property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the  event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding  under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might  

 

140  US_Active\116390121\V-6  otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against  such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights  could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan  Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without  limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with  respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect  to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
