Purchaser, Cohen Bros. & Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, in substantially the form set out in Annex A-I and Annex A-II hereto, respectively, and the Company shall have furnished to the Purchaser the opinion
of the Company’s General Counsel or a certificate signed by the Company’s general partner, dated the Closing Date, addressed to the Purchaser, in substantially the form set out in Annex A-III hereto. In rendering their opinions, the
Company Counsel may rely as to factual matters upon certificates or other documents furnished by officers, directors, partners and trustees of the Company and the Trust and by government officials (provided, however, that copies of any such
certificates or documents are delivered to the Purchaser) and by and upon such other documents as such counsel may, in their reasonable opinions, deem appropriate as a basis for the Company Counsel’s opinion. The Company Counsel may specify the
jurisdictions in which they are admitted to practice and that they are not admitted to practice in any other jurisdiction and are not experts in the 
  

					
	 	  	3	  	 

 law of any other jurisdiction. If the Company Counsel are not admitted to practice in the State of New York, the opinions
of the Company Counsel may assume, for purposes of the opinions, that the laws of the State of New York are substantively identical, in all respects material to the opinions, to the internal laws of the state in which such counsel are admitted to
practice. Such Company Counsel opinions shall not state that they are to be governed or qualified by, or that they are otherwise subject to, any treatise, written policy or other document relating to legal opinions, including, without limitation,
the Legal Opinion Accord of the ABA Section of Business Law (1991). 
  
 (c) The Purchaser and the Sellers shall have been furnished the opinion of DLA Piper Rudnick Gray Cary US LLP, special tax counsel for the Purchaser, dated the Closing Date, addressed to the Purchaser and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National
Association, in substantially the form set out in Annex B hereto.

 (i) the representations and warranties in
this Purchase Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as if made on the Closing Date, and the Company and the Trust have in all material respects complied with all the agreements and

 (h) Subsequent to the execution of this Purchase Agreement, there shall not have been any change, or any
development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the condition (financial or other), earnings, business or assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, whether or not occurring in the ordinary course of business, the effect of which is, in
the Purchaser’s reasonable judgment, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the purchase of the Preferred securities. 
  
 (i) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company and the Trust shall have furnished to the Purchaser and its counsel such further
information, certificates and documents as the Purchaser or its counsel may reasonably request.

obligations hereunder may be canceled at, or at any time prior to, the Closing Date by the Purchaser. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Company and the Trust in writing or by telephone or facsimile confirmed in writing. 

 
 Each certificate signed by any trustee of the Trust or any officer or
partner of the Company and delivered to the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s counsel in connection with the Operative Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty of the Trust
and/or the Company, as the case may be, and not by such trustee, officer or partner in any individual capacity.

is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is necessary, except where the failure to so qualify or be in good standing would not have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, business
or assets of the Trust, whether or not occurring in the ordinary course of business. The Trust is not a party to or otherwise bound by any agreement other than the Operative Documents.

(each, a “Lien”).

enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity. 
  
 (l) This Purchase Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered

subsidiaries hold all necessary approvals, authorizations, orders, licenses, consents, registrations, qualifications, certificates and permits (collectively, the “Governmental Licenses”) of and from Governmental Entities necessary
to conduct their respective businesses as now being conducted, and neither the Trust, the Company nor any of the Company’s subsidiaries has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such Government
License, except where the failure to be so licensed or approved or the receipt of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect; all of the Governmental Licenses are valid and in
full force and effect, except where the invalidity or the failure of such Governmental Licenses to be in full force and effect, would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect; and the Company and its subsidiaries are in
compliance with all applicable laws, rules,

Adverse Effect. 
  
 (y) No labor dispute with the employees of the

Adverse Effect. 
  
 (z) No filing with, or authorization,
approval, consent, license, order, registration qualification or decree of, any Governmental Entity, other than those that have been obtained or will be timely made or obtained, is necessary or required for the performance by the Trust or the

aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect; and all of the leases and subleases under which the Trust, the Company or any subsidiary of the Company holds properties are in full force and effect, except where the failure of such leases and subleases
to be in full force and effect would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, and none of the Trust, the Company or any subsidiary of the Company has any notice of any claim of any sort that has been asserted by anyone
adverse to the rights of the Trust, the Company or any subsidiary of the Company under any such leases or subleases, or affecting or questioning the rights of such entity to the continued possession of the leased or subleased premises under any such
lease or sublease, except for such claims that would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

 (cc) Commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2004, Parent has been, and upon the completion of the transactions contemplated hereby, Parent
will continue to be, organized and operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “Code”), and Parent’s proposed method of operation will enable it to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code, and no actions have been
taken (or not taken which are required to be taken) which would reasonably be expected to cause such qualification to be lost. Parent expects to continue to be organized and to operate in a manner so as to qualify as a REIT in the taxable year
ending December 31, 2004 and succeeding taxable years. 
  
 (dd)
The Company and each of the Significant Subsidiaries have timely and duly filed all Tax Returns required to be filed by them, and all such Tax Returns are true, correct and complete, except for such failures to timely file or inaccuracies that would
not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and each of the Significant Subsidiaries have timely and duly paid in full all material Taxes required to be paid by them (whether or not such amounts are shown as due on
any Tax Return). There are no federal, state, or other Tax audits or deficiency assessments proposed or pending with respect to the Company or any of the Significant Subsidiaries, and no such audits or assessments are, to the knowledge of the
general partner of the Company or the administrative trustees of the Trust, threatened, except for such audits or assessments that would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. As used herein, the terms
“Tax” or “Taxes” mean (i) all federal, state, local, and foreign taxes, and other assessments of a similar nature (whether imposed directly or through withholding), including any interest, additions to tax, or
penalties applicable thereto, imposed by any Governmental Entity, and (ii) all liabilities in respect of such amounts arising as a result of being a member of any affiliated, 
  

					
	 	  	11	  	 

 consolidated, combined, unitary or similar group, as a successor to another person or by contract. As used herein, the
term “Tax Returns” means all federal, state, local, and foreign Tax returns, declarations, statements, reports, schedules, forms, and information returns and any amendments thereto filed or required to be filed with any Governmental
Entity. 
  
 (ee) To the knowledge of the administrative trustees
of the Trust and the general partner of the Company, there are no rulemaking or similar proceedings before the United States Internal Revenue Service or comparable federal, state, local or foreign government bodies which involve or affect the
Company or any subsidiary, which, if the subject of an action unfavorable to the Company or any subsidiary, could result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 (ff) The books, records and accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries accurately and fairly reflect, in all material respects, the transactions in, and
dispositions of, the assets of and the results of operations of, the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company and each of its subsidiaries maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that (i)
transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP and to maintain asset
accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and
appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. 
  
 (gg) The Company and the Significant Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts in all material respects as are customary in the businesses in which they are
engaged or propose to engage after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby including but not limited to, real or personal property owned or leased against theft, damage, destruction, act of vandalism and all other risks customarily
insured against. All policies of insurance and fidelity or surety bonds insuring the Company or any of the Significant Subsidiaries or the Company’s or Significant Subsidiaries’ respective businesses, assets, employees, officers, partners
and directors are in full force and effect, except where the failure of such policies to be in full force and effect would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and each of the subsidiaries are in compliance
with the terms of such policies and instruments, except where the failure to be in compliance would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Significant Subsidiary has reason to believe that it
will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material Averse Effect.
Within the past twelve months, neither the Company nor any Significant Subsidiary has been denied any insurance coverage which it has sought or for which it has applied. 
  
 (hh) Except as would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, the Company and its subsidiaries or,
to the knowledge of the administrative 
  

					
	 	  	12	  	 

 trustees of the Trust or the general partner of the Company, any person acting on behalf of the Company and its
subsidiaries including, without limitation, any director, officer, agent or employee of the Company or its subsidiaries has not, directly or indirectly, while acting on behalf of the Company and its subsidiaries (i) made any unlawful payment to
foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns from corporate funds; or (ii) violated any provision of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended. 
  
 (ii) Neither the Company nor any of its Significant Subsidiaries have
violated, or received written notice of any violation with respect to any applicable Environmental Law (as defined below), the violation of which would result in a Material Adverse Change. “Environmental Law” means any federal, state or
local environmental law, statute, ordinance, rule or regulation, including, without limitation, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. §§ 9601-9675
(“CERCLA”), the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, as amended, 49 U.S.C. §§ 5101-5127, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. §§ 6901-6992k, the Emergency Planning and Community
Right-to-Know Act of 1986, 42 U.S.C. §§ 11001-11050, the Toxic Substances Control Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 2601-2692, the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, 7 U.S.C. §§ 136-136y, the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C.
§§ 7401-7642, the Clean Water Act (Federal Water Pollution Control Act), 33 U.S.C. §§ 1251-1387, the Safe Drinking Water Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 300f-300j-26, and the Occupational Safety and Health Act, 29 U.S.C. §§
651-678, and any analogous state laws, as any of the above may be amended from time to time and in the regulations promulgated pursuant to each of the foregoing (including environmental statutes and laws not specifically defined herein).

pursuant to Section 9(iii) or 9(v)) or because of any failure, refusal or inability on the part of the Company or the Trust to perform all obligations and satisfy all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder other

  

					
	 	  	16	  	 

 than by reason of a default by the Purchaser, the Company will reimburse the Purchaser upon demand for all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and expenses of each of the Purchaser’s counsel specified in subparagraphs (iv) and (v) of the immediately preceding paragraph) that shall have been incurred by the Purchaser in connection with the
proposed purchase and sale of the Preferred Securities. The Company shall not in any event be liable to the Purchaser for the loss of anticipated profits from the transactions contemplated by this Purchase Agreement.

severally, to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, Taberna Capital Management, LLC, Cohen Bros. & Company, and Merrill Lynch & Co. (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) and the Purchaser Indemnified
Parties’ respective directors, officers, employees and agents and each person, if any, who controls the Purchaser Indemnified Parties within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act against any out-of-pocket losses, claims, damages
or liabilities, joint or several (collectively, “Losses”), to which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common
law or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are connected with the execution and delivery by Sellers, and the consummation thereby of the transactions contemplated by, this Purchase Agreement or any other
Operative Document. Sellers agree, jointly and severally, to reimburse the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties in connection with investigating or defending any such
Losses or action arising out of or being connected with the execution and delivery by the Sellers, and the consummation by the Sellers of the transactions contemplated by, this Purchase Agreement or the other Operative Documents. This indemnity
agreement will be in addition to any liability that any of the Sellers may otherwise have. 
  
 (b) The Company agrees to indemnify the Trust against all Losses whatsoever due from the Trust under paragraph (a) above. 
  
 (c) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party will,
if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not
relieve the indemnifying party from liability under paragraph (a) above unless and to the extent that such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of material rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the
indemnifying party from any obligations to any Indemnified Party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) above. Purchaser shall be entitled to appoint counsel to represent the Indemnified Party in any action for which
indemnification is sought. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the Indemnified Party) also be
counsel to the Indemnified Party. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all Indemnified Parties in connection with
any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising 
  

					
	 	  	17	  	 

 out of the same general allegations or circumstances. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent
of the Indemnified Parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not the
Indemnified Parties are actual or potential parties to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim,
action, suit or proceeding. 
  
 (d) In no event shall any
indemnifying party or parties be liable for Losses in the nature of consequential damages, punitive damages, lost profits, damage to reputation or the like, but rather Losses indemnifiable hereunder shall be limited to out-of-pocket Losses and to an
aggregate limit equal to the Purchase Price. 
  
 9.
Termination; Representations and Indemnities to Survive. This Purchase Agreement shall be subject to termination in the reasonable discretion of the Purchaser, by notice given to the Company and the Trust prior to delivery of and
payment for the Preferred Securities, if prior to such time (i) a downgrading shall have occurred in the rating accorded the Company’s debt securities or preferred stock by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization,”
as that term is used by the Commission in Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act, or such organization shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of the
Company’s debt securities or preferred stock, (ii) the Trust shall be unable to sell and deliver to the Purchaser at least $15,000,000 stated liquidation value of Preferred Securities, (iii) a suspension or material limitation in trading in
securities generally shall have occurred on the New York Stock Exchange, (iv) a suspension or material limitation in trading in any of the Company’s securities shall have occurred on the exchange or quotation system upon which the Company’
securities are traded, if any, or (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is
such as to make it, in the Purchaser’s reasonable judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Preferred Securities. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other
statements of the Company and the Trust or their respective officers, partners or trustees and of the Purchaser set forth in or made pursuant to this Purchase Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or
on behalf of the Purchaser, the Company or the Trust or any of the their respective officers, directors, partners, trustees or controlling persons, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Preferred Securities for a period of five (5) years
after the Closing Date. The provisions of Sections 7 and 8 shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Purchase Agreement.

written agreement by each of the parties hereto.

 SECTION 2. THE LOANS. 
  
 2.1 The Commitment and the Loans. 
  
 (a) Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, during
the period from the Closing Date up to but not including the Termination Date, the Lenders severally, but not jointly, shall make loans to the Borrower in such amounts as the Borrower may from time to time request but not exceeding in aggregate
principal amount at any one time outstanding the lesser of $275,000,000 (as such amount may be reduced from time to time, the 

  

 - 19 - 

 
“Commitment”) and the Maximum Borrowing Amount in effect at such time. All amounts borrowed by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.1(a)
may be referred to hereinafter collectively as the “Loans.” Each Loan requested by the Borrower shall be funded by the Lenders in accordance with their Ratable Shares of the requested Loan. A Lender shall not be obligated hereunder
to make any additional Loan if immediately after making such Loan, the aggregate principal balance of all Loans made by such Lender would exceed such Lender’s Ratable Share of the Commitment. The Loans may be comprised of Base Rate Loans or
LIBOR Loans, as provided in Section 2.2. All advances of Loans on the Closing Date shall bear interest at the Base Rate. 
  
 (b) Repayment and Reborrowing. Prior to the Termination Date, the Borrower may, at its option, from time to time prepay all or any portion of the
Loans, subject to the provisions of Section 2.5, and the Borrower may, subject to Section 6, reborrow from time to time hereunder amounts so paid up to the amount of the Commitment in effect at the time of reborrowing. 
  
 (c) Termination or Reduction of Commitment. At any time prior to the
Termination Date, by written notice to the Agent no later than 11:00 A.M. Cleveland, Ohio time three Business Days prior to such termination or reduction, the Borrower may permanently terminate, or from time to time permanently reduce, the
Commitment, provided that the Commitment shall not be reduced below an amount equal to the then outstanding balance of the Loans. Such notice shall be in writing or by telephonic communication confirmed by telecopy or other facsimile transmission on
the same day as such telephone notice. The Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such telephonic communication regardless of whether it is subsequently confirmed in writing. Any such partial reduction hereunder shall be in an amount which is not
less than $2,500,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. The Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such reduction or termination of the Commitment. 
  
 (d) Termination Date. All Loans, together with all interest accrued thereon, shall be paid in full no later than the
Termination Date. 
  
 (e) Permanent Reductions. All
reductions of the Commitment pursuant to Section 2.1(c), Section 2.5(c) or any other provision of this Agreement shall be permanent reductions, and the Commitment shall not be increased. 
  
 2.2 Making and Conversion/Continuation of the Loans. 
  
 (a) Making of the Loans. 
  

(i) Each Loan shall be made by the Lenders in such amount as the Borrower shall request, provided that each borrowing shall be in an amount
which is a minimum of (A), with respect to any LIBOR Loan, $5,000,000, and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and (B) with respect to any Base Rate Loan, $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof or such lesser
amount as may be equal to the then unused portion of the Commitment. The obligation of the Lenders to make any Loan is conditioned upon (w) the fact that the sum of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans, after giving effect to the making of
such Loan, would not exceed the lesser of the Commitment 

  

 - 20 - 

 
or the Maximum Borrowing Amount as of the date of such Loan; (x) the fact that no Default or Event of Default shall then exist or immediately after the Loan
would exist; (y) the fact that all of the Loan Documents shall still be in full force and effect; and (z) the fact that the representations and warranties contained herein and in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects
as if made on and as of the date of such borrowing, except to the extent that any thereof expressly relate to an earlier date. 
  
 (ii) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 2.2(a)(i) and 6, Loans shall be effected at the principal banking office of the
Agent in Cleveland, Ohio, and shall be made at such times as the Borrower may request by notice to the Agent no later than 11:00 A.M. Cleveland, Ohio time (A) three Business Days prior to the date of a requested LIBOR Loan and (B) one Business Day
prior to the date of a requested Base Rate Loan. Such notices shall be in writing, or by telephonic communication confirmed by telecopy or other facsimile transmission on the same day as the telephone request, and shall specify the proposed date and
the amount of the requested Loan, whether it is to bear interest initially at an interest rate based on the Base Rate or the LIBOR Rate, and the Interest Period thereof, if applicable. The Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such telephonic
communication regardless of whether it is subsequently confirmed in writing. 
  
 (iii) Upon receipt of each borrowing notice for a Loan, the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the type, Interest Period, if applicable, amount and date of the proposed borrowing or conversion. Not later than
11:00 A.M. Cleveland time, on the date of a proposed borrowing of a Loan, each Lender shall provide the Agent at its address specified in Section 13.4 hereof with immediately available funds covering such Lender’s Ratable Share of the
borrowing, and the Agent shall pay over such immediately available funds to the Borrower. 
  
 (b) Conversion/Continuation of the Loans. At the Borrower’s election pursuant to notice given to the Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. Cleveland, Ohio time three Business Days prior to such conversion or
continuation, any Base Rate Loan may be converted to, or any LIBOR Loan may be continued as, as the case may be, a LIBOR Loan as requested by the Borrower; provided, however, that each conversion and continuation shall be in an amount
which is a minimum of $5,000,000, and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and provided, further, that no Loan may be continued as or converted to a LIBOR Loan at any time that a Default or Event of Default exists. If
the Borrower has not timely delivered to the Agent such notice with respect to any terminating Interest Period, the affected LIBOR Loan shall convert to a Base Rate Loan at the end of such Interest Period. 
  
 (c) Number of Interest Rate Options. In no event shall the Borrower
have more than five LIBOR Loans outstanding at any time. 
  
 2.3
The Notes. All Loans shall be evidenced by separate promissory notes payable to the Lenders substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A to be duly executed and delivered by the Borrower at or prior to the Closing Date in the
aggregate principal amount of the Commitment (which notes may be referred to herein as the “Notes”). The Lenders may, and are hereby authorized by the Borrower to, set forth on the grids attached to the Notes, or in other comparable
records maintained by them, the amount of each Loan, all payments and 

  

 - 21 - 

 
prepayments of principal and interest received, the current outstanding principal balance, and other appropriate information. The aggregate unpaid amount of
any Loan set forth in any records maintained by a Lender with respect to a Note shall be presumptive evidence of the principal amount owing and unpaid on such Note. Failure of a Lender to record the principal amount of any Loan on the grid(s)
attached to a Note shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under such Note to repay the principal amount of such Loan and all interest accruing thereon. 
  
 2.4 Fees. 
  
 (a) Commitment Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the
benefit of the Lenders a non-refundable commitment fee of 0.125% per annum (based on a year having 360 days and actual days elapsed) on the excess of the aggregate daily average amount of the Commitment for each month over the sum of the daily
average amount of the Loans outstanding for such month. Such commitment fee shall (i) commence to accrue as of the date hereof and continue to and including the Termination Date, (ii) be in addition to any other fee required by the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, (iii) be payable monthly in arrears on the last Business Day of each month and on the date the Commitment is terminated, and (iv) be shared by the Lenders in accordance with their Ratable Shares. 
  
 (b) Other Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent such other fees
as are set forth in the Fee Letter or in any separate agreements among the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders. 
  
 2.5 Prepayment. 
  
 (a) Voluntary Prepayments. By notice to the Agent (which shall be in writing or by telephonic communication confirmed by telecopy or other
facsimile transmission on the same day as such telephone notice) no later than 11:00 A.M. Cleveland, Ohio time on the Business Day prior to such prepayment (with respect to any Base Rate Loan) or on the third Business Day prior to such prepayment
(with respect to any LIBOR Loan), the Borrower may, at its option, prepay the Loans in whole at any time or in part from time to time without penalty or premium (except as provided in Section 2.5(d)); provided, however, that each
partial prepayment of the Loans shall be in the aggregate principal amount of not less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. 
  
 (b) Mandatory Prepayments. 
  
 (i) Loans in Excess of Commitment. If at any time the outstanding principal amount of the Loans exceeds the Commitment, the Borrower shall
immediately prepay the Loans, without penalty or premium (except as provided in Section 2.5(d)), in an amount necessary to cause the outstanding principal amount of the Loans not to exceed the Commitment. All accrued interest on the amount prepaid
shall be paid with the prepayment. 
  
 (ii) Issuance of
Additional Tower Notes. If the Tower Notes Issuers, or any of them, issue any Additional Tower Notes (other than Additional Tower Notes issued in substitution or exchange for other outstanding Tower Notes), whether pursuant to 

  

 - 22 - 

 
Section 2.12 of the Tower Notes Indenture or otherwise, the Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment of the Loans, as soon as such proceeds become
available to the Issuer Entity, but in any event no later than the next Payment Date (as that term is defined in the Tower Notes Indenture) in respect of the Collection Period (as that term is defined in the Tower Notes Indenture) in which such
Additional Tower Notes are issued, in an amount equal to the least of (A) 100% of the aggregate face amount of such Additional Tower Notes, net of any expenses reasonably incurred by the Issuers in connection with such issuance, (B) if such proceeds
are deposited into the Collection Account, the amount available to be distributed to or at the direction of the Issuer Entity pursuant to clause Twentieth of Section 5.01(a) of the Tower Notes Indenture on such next Payment Date, (C) the
amount of all outstanding Obligations or (D) that amount that, when applied to reduce the outstanding principal amount of the Loans, after giving effect to such prepayment and the issuance of such Additional Tower Notes, would result in the
outstanding principal amount of the Loans being equal to the Maximum Borrowing Amount as of the date of such prepayment. 
  
 (iii) Sale of Towers. If any Consolidated Party sells or otherwise disposes of any towers the cash flow of which has been included in any
calculation of the Maximum Borrowing Amount, the Borrower shall immediately notify the Agent of such sale or disposition and deliver to the Agent a certificate in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent showing in reasonable detail the
calculation of the Maximum Borrowing Amount after giving effect to such sale or other disposition and not including in such calculation any cash flow attributable to such towers. If the outstanding principal amount of the Loans exceeds the Maximum
Borrowing Amount as so recalculated, the Borrower shall, within two Business Days of such sale or other disposition, make a mandatory prepayment of the Loans in an amount equal to that amount that, when applied to reduce the outstanding principal
amount of the Loans, would result in the outstanding principal amount of the Loans being equal to the Maximum Borrowing Amount as of the date of such prepayment, or such higher amount as may be required pursuant to Section 8.1(c). 
  
 (iv) Sale of Crown Australia. If all or substantially all of the
Equity Interests or assets of Crown Australia or any of the Subsidiaries of Crown Australia are sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, then the Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment of the Loans in an amount equal to the least of (A)
$100,000,000, (B) the aggregate amount of Loan proceeds that have been used, or designated for use pursuant to any Borrowing Requests, to make Capital Distributions by Crown International during the period from the Closing Date to the date of such
sale, transfer or other disposition and (C) the amount of all outstanding Obligations. Such mandatory prepayment shall be made within two Business Days of the consummation of such sale, transfer or other disposition. 
  
 (c) Application of Prepayments. All prepayments made pursuant to this
Section 2.5 shall be applied as follows: first, to any LIBOR Prepayment Premium then due, then to accrued interest and then to the outstanding principal of the Loans. For purposes of the calculation of interest and the determination of whether any
LIBOR Prepayment Premium is due in connection with any such prepayment of LIBOR Loans, such principal prepayments shall be applied first to the Base Rate Loans and then to the LIBOR Loans with the shortest remaining Interest Periods. No prepayment
shall reduce the amount of the Commitment, provided that the Commitment shall be immediately and automatically reduced by the amount of any prepayment made, or required to be made, pursuant to Section 2.5(b)(iv). 
  

 - 23 - 

 (d) LIBOR Prepayment Premium. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the benefit of the
Lenders, the applicable LIBOR Prepayment Premium upon any prepayment or conversion (whether voluntary or involuntary) of any LIBOR Loan not made on the last day of the applicable Interest Period. 
  
 2.6 Reserves or Deposit Requirements, Etc. If at any time any
Regulatory Change (including without limitation, any change in Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) shall impose upon, modify, require, make or deem applicable to the Agent or any Lender (or its holding company) any
reserve, special deposit requirement (other than reserves included in the LIBOR Reserve Percentage, the effect of which is reflected in the interest rate of any LIBOR Loan), insurance assessment or similar requirement against assets held by any
Lender or deposits in any Lender or for the amount of any loans by any Lender, and the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost (whether by incurring a cost or adding to a cost) to such Lender of taking or maintaining hereunder any LIBOR Loan
or to reduce the amount of principal, interest or fees received by such Lender with respect to any such Loan, then such Lender shall notify the Borrower and the Agent of such occurrence. Thereafter, within ten days after written demand by such
Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate and indemnify such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount. A statement as to the increased cost or reduced amount as a result of any event mentioned
in this Section shall be submitted by such Lender to the Agent and to the Borrower and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding as to the amount thereof. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable
averaging and attribution methods. 
  
 2.7 Tax Law, Increased
Costs, Etc. In the event that any Lender shall, with respect to this Agreement or any transaction under this Agreement, be subjected to any tax, levy, impost, charge, fee, duty, deduction or withholding of any kind whatsoever, or any change in
the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or with respect to any transaction under this Agreement, and if any such measure or any other similar measure shall result in an increase in the costs to such Lender of
making or maintaining any LIBOR Loan or in a reduction in the amount of principal, interest or other payments ultimately receivable by such Lender in respect of such Loan (other than, for purposes of this Section 2.7, any such increased costs
resulting from (a) Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.13 shall govern), and (b) changes in the basis of taxation upon the net income of such Lender), then such Lender shall notify the Agent and the Borrower stating the reasons
therefor. The Borrower shall thereafter pay to such Lender within ten days after written demand such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount. A statement as to any such increased cost or reduced
amount shall be submitted by such Lender to the Agent and the Borrower which statement shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding as to the amount thereof. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable
averaging and attribution methods. 
  
 2.8 Eurodollar Deposits
Unavailable or Interest Rate Unascertainable. If any Lender determines that dollar deposits of the relevant amount for the relevant Interest Period are not available to it in the applicable Eurodollar market or if the Agent determines that, by
reason 

  

 - 24 - 

 
of circumstances affecting such market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate applicable to such Interest Period, or if
any Lender determines that the LIBOR Rate does not adequately reflect the cost to such Lender of making such Loan, as the case may be, the Agent or such Lender shall promptly give notice of such determination to the Agent and to the Borrower, and
any request for a new LIBOR Loan or notice of conversion of an existing Loan to a LIBOR Loan given thereafter or previously given by the Borrower and not yet made or converted shall be deemed a notice to make a Base Rate Loan. 
  
 2.9 Changes in Law Rendering LIBOR Loans Unlawful. If at any time any
Regulatory Change shall make it unlawful for any Lender to fund any LIBOR Loan which it has committed to make hereunder with moneys obtained in the applicable Eurodollar market, such Lender shall notify the Agent and the Borrower, and the obligation
of the Lenders to fund such Loan shall, upon the happening of such event, forthwith be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrower that such illegality has ceased. If any such change makes it unlawful for any Lender to continue in effect the
funding in the applicable Eurodollar market of any LIBOR Loan previously made by it hereunder, such Lender shall, upon the happening of such event, notify the Agent and the Borrower thereof in writing stating the reasons therefor, and the Borrower
shall, on the earlier of (a) the last day of the then current Interest Period or (b) if required by such Regulatory Change on such date as shall be specified in such notice, either convert all such Loans to Base Rate Loans or prepay all such Loans
in full. 
  
 2.10 Funding. Any Lender may, but shall not be
required to, make LIBOR Loans hereunder with funds obtained outside the United States. 
  
 2.11 Indemnity. Without prejudice to any other provisions of Sections 2.6 through 2.10 or to the obligation of the Borrower to pay the LIBOR Prepayment Premium pursuant to Section 2.5(d), the Borrower hereby
agrees to indemnify the Agent and each Lender against any loss or expense which the Agent or any Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of the Borrower’s failure to borrow any LIBOR Loan requested pursuant to this Agreement, or the
Borrower’s failure to continue any LIBOR Loan or convert any Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan, in either case after notice of such continuation or conversion shall have been given to the Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(b), or any default by the
Borrower in payment when due of any amount due hereunder in respect of any LIBOR Loan or any prepayment or conversion by the Borrower of a LIBOR Loan prior to the end of its Interest Period, whether voluntarily or as required pursuant to the terms
hereof, including, but not limited to, any premium or penalty incurred by such Lender in respect of funds borrowed by it for the purpose of making or maintaining such Loan, as determined by such Lender; provided, however, that such
indemnification shall be net of any LIBOR Prepayment Premium received by such Lender in respect of any such action or inaction of the Borrower. A statement as to any such loss or expense shall be submitted by such Lender to the Agent and the
Borrower for payment under the aforesaid indemnification, which statement shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding as to the amount thereof. 
  
 2.12 Capital Adequacy. If any Lender shall determine that any Regulatory Change regarding capital adequacy or
compliance by such Lender (or its lending office) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency has or would have the effect of

  

 - 25 - 

 
reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital (or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company) as a consequence of its obligations
hereunder to a level below that which such Lender (or its holding company) could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies or the policies of its holding company with respect to
capital adequacy) by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, then from time to time, within ten days after demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender (or
its holding company) for such reduction. A certificate of such Lender claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In
determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Failure on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any reduction in return on capital with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver
of such Lender’s rights to demand compensation for any reduction in return on capital in such period or in any other period. The protection of this Section shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the
invalidity or inapplicability of the law, regulation or other condition which shall have been imposed. 
  
 2.13 Taxes. Without duplication of any other Section of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 2.7: 
  
 (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan
Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments,
then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal
to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law,
provided, that the Borrower hereby indemnifies the Agent and the Lenders and holds them harmless from and against any and all liabilities, fees or additional expenses with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying, or omission to pay, such
amounts, and (iv) within thirty days after the payment by the Borrower of any such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish the Agent with the original or a certified copy of the receipt, if any, evidencing payment thereof, or
such other information as the Agent may reasonably require to establish to its satisfaction that full and timely payment of such Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes has been made. 
  
 (b) The Borrower agrees to pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

  
 (c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and Agent
for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, the full amount of taxes of any kind imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.13) imposed on or paid by such Lender or
Agent, as the case may be, and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom and with respect thereto. Each Lender shall notify the Borrower and the Agent of any payment of 

  

 - 26 - 

 
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes required or requested of it. Upon notice from such Lender that Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes or any liability relating
thereto (including penalties, additions to tax, and interest and expenses) have been paid, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse such Lender therefor within ten days of such notice. Such Lender shall include with any such notice a statement setting
forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of any such payment or reimbursement to be made to it hereunder, which statement shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding as to the amount thereof. 
  
 (d) On or prior to the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement in
the case of each Lender that is listed on the signature pages of this Agreement, and on or prior to the date of assignment in the case of each Lender that is an assignee pursuant to Section 13.7, and from time to time thereafter as reasonably
requested in writing by the Borrower (but only so long thereafter as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so): 
  
 (i) Each Lender that is a “United States person” that is not a “domestic” corporation (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30)
of the Code) shall provide each of the Borrower and Agent with an original Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, properly completed and duly executed; and 
  
 (ii) Each Lender that is not a “United States person” (as such
term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall provide each of the Borrower and Agent with either: 
  
 (1) An original Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8IMY or W-8ECI, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue
Service, properly completed and duly executed, certifying that such Lender is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or under the Notes; or 
  
 (2) A certificate that it is not (I) a “bank” (as defined in
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code), (II) a ten-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Borrower, or (III) a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of
the Code); and an original Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8IMY, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, properly completed and duly executed, certifying that such Lender meets
the requirements of Section 871(h)(2)(B)(ii) and Section 871(h)(5) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. 
  
 (e) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described
in subsection (d) of this Section 2.13 (other than if such failure is due to a Regulatory Change occurring after the date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to be provided or if such form, certificate or other
document otherwise is not required under subsection (d) of this Section 2.13), such Lender shall not be entitled to any increase in the amounts payable or any indemnification under subsection (a) or (c), respectively, of this Section 2.13 with
respect to Indemnified Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Lender become subject to Indemnified Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document
required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender in recovering such Indemnified Taxes. 
  

 - 27 - 

 (f) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements
and obligations of the Borrower contained in Section 2.7 and this Section 2.13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the Notes. 
  
 (g) Each Lender agrees that, in the event of a payment of an increased
amount by the Borrower with respect to such Lender pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 2.13 or a demand by such Lender for indemnification from the Borrower pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 2.13, it will, if requested by the
Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with overall policy considerations of such Lender and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different applicable lending office if the making of such designation will avoid the
need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased amount paid or such indemnification; provided, however, that the making of such designation will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such
Lender, its Affiliates or Subsidiaries. 
  
 (h) Nothing contained
in this Section 2.13 shall require any Lender or the Agent to make available any of its tax returns or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary. Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the rights of each Lender to
arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit; and, in particular, each Lender shall be under no obligation to claim credit, relief, remission or repayment from or against its profits or similar tax liability in respect of the amount of
such deduction or withholding in priority to any other claims, reliefs, credits or deductions available to it or to disclose any information relating to its tax affairs. 
  
 SECTION 3. INTEREST; PAYMENTS. 
  
 3.1 Interest. 
  
 (a) Subject to Section 3.1(c), prior to maturity, LIBOR Loans shall bear interest at the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin and Base Rate Loans shall
bear interest at the Base Rate. 
  
 (b) The Applicable Margin
shall be determined by the Agent quarterly, based on the financial statements and the Compliance Certificate delivered to the Lenders pursuant to Sections 7.5(c) and (d). Any change in the interest rate on the Loans due to a change in the Applicable
Margin shall be effective on the fifth Business Day after delivery of such financial statements and Compliance Certificate; provided, however, that if any such quarterly financial statements and Compliance Certificate indicate an
increase in the Applicable Margin and such financial statements and certificate are not provided within the time period required in Section 7.5(c) and (d), the increase in the interest rate due to such increase in the Applicable Margin shall be
effective retroactively as of the fifth Business Day after the date on which such financial statements and certificate were due. The Borrower shall deliver to the Lenders with each set of quarterly financial statements that indicate a change in the
Applicable Margin a notice with respect to such change, which notice shall set forth the calculation of, and the supporting evidence for, such change. 
  

 - 28 - 

 (c) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the entire outstanding principal amount of each Loan
and (to the extent permitted by law) unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts due hereunder shall bear interest, from the date of occurrence of such Event of Default until the earlier of the date such Loan is paid in full and the date on which
such Event of Default is cured or waived in writing, at the Default Interest Rate which shall be payable upon demand. Nothing in this Section 3.1(c) shall affect the rights of the Agent or the Lenders to exercise any rights or remedies hereunder or
under the Loan Documents or applicable law arising upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default. 
  
 (d) Interest shall be computed on a Three Hundred Sixty day year basis calculated for the actual number of days elapsed. Interest accrued on each Loan
shall be paid monthly in arrears on the last Business Day of each month after the date hereof until such Loan is paid in full and on the date such Loan is paid in full, and, in addition, interest accrued on each LIBOR Loan shall be paid on the last
day of the Interest Period thereof. 
  
 3.2 Manner of
Payments. 
  
 (a) Prior to the last Business Day of each
month and the end of each Interest Period, the Agent shall render a statement to the Borrower of all amounts due to the Agent and the Lenders for principal, interest and fees hereunder. All amounts listed on each such statement shall be due and
payable on the last Business Day of such month or, as the case may be, the last day of such Interest Period, in respect of which such statement was sent. As to all other Obligations which become due and payable other than on a fixed date by their
terms, the Agent shall advise the Borrower by a written statement that they are due and payable, and the Borrower shall pay the same within ten days of receipt of such statement. If any amounts are not paid by the Borrower when due and payable, such
amounts shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate, and the Lenders may then charge any account of the Borrower for such Obligation in the amount due to the Lenders. Any failure by the Agent to render any such statement or give any such advice
shall in no way relieve the Borrower of any liability for or obligation to pay any amount due and payable hereunder. 
  
 (b) Whenever any payment to be made hereunder, including without limitation any payment to be made on a Note, shall be stated to be due on a day that is
not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in each case be included in the computation of the interest payable on such Note. 
  
 (c) Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all payments or prepayments
made or due hereunder or under the Notes shall be made in immediately available funds by federal funds wire transfer, and without setoff, deduction or counterclaim, to the Agent prior to 11:00 A.M., Cleveland time, on the date when due, at its
offices at 127 Public Square, Cleveland, Ohio 44114, or at such other place as may be designated by the Agent. Funds received after 11:00 A.M., Cleveland time, shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. To the extent any such
payment is made for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, the Agent shall promptly distribute such payment to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Ratable Shares. 
  

 - 29 - 

 SECTION 4. CLOSING. 
  
 The closing of the funding of the initial Loans hereunder shall take place at the offices of the Agent at 127 Public Square, Cleveland, Ohio 44114 on or
about August 1, 2005, or such other date and place as to which the parties may agree (the “Closing” and the “Closing Date”). Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, upon the fulfillment or waiver in writing of
all the conditions precedent set out in Section 6 below, and the delivery to the Agent of the Notes, the Lenders shall make such Loans as the Borrower may request.

 To induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans, the Borrower and the Guarantors, jointly and
severally, represent and warrant as follows: 
  
 5.1
Organization and Powers. Each Consolidated Party is a corporation or limited liability company, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its incorporation or formation. Each Consolidated Party is
duly qualified or registered to conduct business and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction in which the character of its business or the ownership of its assets makes such qualification or registration necessary, except where failure
to so qualify or register could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Consolidated Party has all requisite power and authority to own and operate its properties, to carry on its business as now conducted and proposed to
be conducted and to enter into, and perform its obligations under, each of the following to which it is a party: this Agreement, the Loan Documents, the Acquisition Agreement and each other document in connection with the transactions contemplated
thereby. The Borrower has all requisite power and authority to incur the indebtedness contemplated hereunder and evidenced by the Notes. 
  
 5.2 Authorization. All necessary actions on the part of the Loan Parties to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Loan
Documents and the Acquisition Agreement, and the performance of the obligations of the Loan Parties herein and therein, have been taken. This Agreement, each Loan Document and the Acquisition Agreement have been duly authorized and executed and are
valid and legally binding upon each Loan Party to the extent it is a party thereto, and enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or like laws
affecting creditors rights generally and the availability of equitable remedies. 
  
 5.3 Financial Statements. The Borrower has provided to the Lenders complete and correct copies of (a) the audited consolidated financial statements for Crown International and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal

the “Financial Statements”). The Financial Statements disclose all material contingent liabilities and present fairly the financial condition of Crown International and its Subsidiaries, Crown Castle Towers LLC and the Asset
Entities, and the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, as of the dates and for the periods indicated and have been prepared consistent with GAAP, subject in the case of statements for interim periods to the absence of footnotes and to normal year-end
adjustments. 
  
 5.4 Projections. The Borrower has provided
to the Lenders complete and correct copies of the Consolidated Parties’ projections for the calendar years 2005 and 2006. Such projections were prepared on an operating basis. Such projections represent the Loan Parties’ good faith
estimate of projected future operations as of the date of this Agreement, have been prepared based on assumptions that the Loan Parties believe to be reasonable and assume the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition
Agreement. As of the date hereof, there are no facts which are known to any Loan Party which such Loan Party believes would cause a material adverse change in such projections. 
  
 5.5 Capitalization. Schedule 5.5 attached hereto sets forth, as of the date hereof each Subsidiary of Crown
International. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.5, each Subsidiary of Crown International is wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by Crown International. All of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of each Consolidated Party have
been duly and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable. All of the authorized, issued and outstanding Equity Interests of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are free and clear of any Liens, except (a) as disclosed on Schedule 5.5,
(b) for the Liens in favor of the Agent pursuant to the Pledge Agreement and (c) in the case of certain Subsidiaries of CC Towers Holding, for Liens in favor of the indenture trustee under the Tower Notes Indenture. None of the Equity Interests of
any Consolidated Party has been issued in violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities or “Blue Sky” or any other applicable laws, rules or regulations of any applicable jurisdiction. Except as set forth on
Schedule 5.5, as of the date hereof, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has any commitment or obligation, either firm or conditional, to issue, deliver, purchase or sell, under any offer, option agreement, put or call agreement,
bonus agreement, purchase plan, incentive plan, compensation plan, warrant, conversion rights, operating agreement, contingent share agreement, stockholders agreement, partnership agreement or otherwise, any Equity Interests. 
  
 5.6 Title to Properties; Patents, Trademarks, Etc. Each Consolidated
Party has, and will have after consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement, good and marketable title to all of its material assets, whether real or personal, tangible or intangible, free and clear of any Liens or
adverse claims or interests, except Permitted Liens. Each Consolidated Party owns or possesses, and will own and possess after giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement, the valid right to use
all the material patents, patent applications, patent and know-how licenses, inventions, technology, permits, trademark registrations and applications, product designs, applications, processes, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights and
licenses and rights in respect of the foregoing used or necessary for the conduct of its business (collectively, “proprietary rights”). No Consolidated Party is aware of any existing or threatened infringement or misappropriation of
(a) any such proprietary rights of others by any Consolidated Party or (b) any proprietary rights of any Consolidated Party by others, that could either individually or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

  

 - 31 - 

 5.7 Litigation; Proceedings. Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect, (a) there is no action, suit, complaint, proceeding, inquiry or investigation at law or in equity, or by or before any court or governmental instrumentality or agency, nor any order, decree or judgment in effect, now pending or, to the best
of the Consolidated Parties’ knowledge, threatened against or affecting any Consolidated Party or any of its properties or assets, and (b) there is no application, petition, complaint, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best of the
Consolidated Parties’ knowledge, threatened, with respect to any License or which could restrict in any material manner the ownership, operation or license status of any Material Towers.

(including information returns), reports and statements (including, without limitation, those relating to income taxes, withholding, social security and unemployment taxes, sales and use taxes and franchise taxes) required to be filed by any
Consolidated Party have been properly filed with the appropriate governmental agencies in all jurisdictions in which such returns, reports and statements are required to be filed, which returns, reports and statements are complete and accurate in
all respects, and all taxes and other impositions due and payable have been timely paid prior to the date on which any fine, penalty, interest, late charge or loss may be added thereto for non-payment thereof, in each case, except to the extent that
such failure to do so could not, individually or together with any such other failures, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As of the date hereof, no Consolidated Party has filed with the Internal Revenue Service or any other
Governmental Authority any agreement or other document extending or having the effect of extending the period for assessment or collection of any federal, state, local or foreign taxes or other impositions other than relating to extensions to file
tax returns for 2004. Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, all tax deficiencies asserted or assessments made as a result of any examinations conducted by the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental
Authority relating to any Governmental Authority have been fully paid or are being contested in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.4. To the best of the Consolidated Parties’ knowledge, no federal, state, local or foreign tax authority
has raised any issues that, in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 5.9 Absence of Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of this Agreement, the Loan Documents, the Acquisition
Agreement and all actions and transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (a) violate, be in conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default (i) under any provision of any of the
Organizational Documents of any Consolidated Party, (ii) under any material arbitration award or any material order, judgment or decree of any court or of any other Governmental Authority, (iii) under any License relating to any Material Towers or

portion of its properties, the maintenance of any Material Towers or the conduct of its business. No Consolidated Party has violated or breached in any material respect the provisions of the Tower Notes Indenture, any Crown International Indenture,
any other material indenture, License, agreement, note, lease or other instrument or document to which it is a party or by which it is bound, nor does there exist any material default, or any event or condition which, upon notice or lapse of time,
or both, would become a material default, under the Tower Notes Indenture, any Crown International Indenture, any other material indenture, License, agreement, note, lease, or other instrument or document. Each Consolidated Party has the legal right
and authority, including without limitation, necessary authorizations from the FCC and the FAA, to conduct its business as now conducted or proposed to be conducted. 
  
 5.12 Statements Not Misleading. No statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or any other party
(other than the Agent and the Lenders) in or pursuant to this Agreement or the Exhibits attached hereto or any of the Loan Documents contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact, nor omits or will omit to state a material fact
necessary to make such statement not misleading or otherwise violates any federal or state securities law, rule or regulation. There is no fact known to any Loan Party that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect
and that has not been disclosed herein.

 5.14 Material Contracts and Commitments. 
  
 (a) Other than this Agreement, the Loan Documents and the Management
Agreement, neither the Borrower nor the Manager is a party to or bound by any material contracts, licenses or commitments, as of the Closing Date (both before and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement),
whether oral or written, including, without limitation, (a) those governing any Indebtedness; (b) any security agreement, pledge agreement, mortgage or guaranty; (c) management, construction supervision, service or employment agreements, conditional

 5.15 Employee Benefit Plans. No Consolidated Party or any member of the Controlled Group has or will have, or reasonably anticipates having, any
material liability (including any withdrawal liability under Section 4201 of ERISA) to or in respect of any Plan or Benefit Arrangement, excluding any liabilities that are accrued, paid or funded. With respect to the Plans and Benefit Arrangements
currently maintained by any Consolidated Party or any member of the Controlled Group (and excluding any matters that could not reasonably be expected to result in any material unfunded and unaccrued liability to any Consolidated Party): (a) a
favorable determination letter has been received with respect to each Plan that is intended to be qualified under Code Section 401(a); (b) each Plan complies in all material respects with all applicable requirements of law, has been administered in
accordance with its terms and all required contributions have been made; (c) neither any Consolidated Party nor any member of the Controlled Group knows or has reason to know that any Consolidated Party or any member of the Controlled Group has
engaged in a transaction which would subject it to any tax, penalty or liability under ERISA or the Code for any prohibited transaction or violation of the fiduciary responsibility rules with respect to any Plan; and (d) no Plan is in violation of
the minimum funding requirements under ERISA Section 302 or Code Section 412. There are no pending or threatened claims, actions, lawsuits or actions by any Governmental Authority with respect to any Plan that could reasonably be expected to result
in any material unfunded and unaccrued liability to any Consolidated Party. 
  
 5.16 Licenses and Registrations. The Consolidated Parties hold all of the material Licenses that are necessary for the lawful ownership, construction, management or operation of all Tower Sites or of the
business of the Consolidated Parties in the manner and to the full extent they are currently owned, constructed, managed and operated. All of the material Licenses of the Consolidated Parties have been duly and validly issued to and are legally held
by 

  

 - 34 - 

 
the Consolidated Parties and are in full force and effect without condition except those of general application. Except as could not reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect, such Licenses have been issued in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, are legally binding and enforceable in accordance with their terms and are in good standing. The Consolidated Parties know of
no facts or conditions that would constitute grounds for any Licensing Authority to deny any pending material application for a License with respect to any Material Towers, to suspend, revoke, materially adversely modify or annul any License with
respect to any Material Towers or to impose a material financial penalty on any Consolidated Party. All Material Towers that are required to be registered with the FCC have either been so registered or are in the process of being registered.

  
 5.17 Government Regulation. No Consolidated Party is
subject to regulation under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Federal Power Act or any other Law limiting its ability to incur Indebtedness for borrowed money. 

 
 5.18 Absence of Material Adverse Effect. No Material Adverse Effect

 5.19
Defaults. No Default or Event of Default now exists or will exist upon the making of any Loan. 
  
 5.20 Securities Laws. No proceeds of any Loan will be used by any Consolidated Party to acquire any security in any transaction that is subject to
Section 13 or 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except for Capital Distributions by Crown International permitted hereunder that comply with the requirements of such Law. Neither the registration of any security under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of any state, nor the qualification of an indenture in respect thereof under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, is required in connection with the consummation of this Agreement or
the execution and delivery of the Notes. 
  
 5.21
Insurance. All policies of insurance of any kind or nature owned by or issued to any Consolidated Party, including, without limitation, policies of fire, theft, public liability, property damage, other casualty, employee fidelity,
worker’s compensation, employee health and welfare, title, property and liability insurance, comply with the requirements of Section 7.3, are in full force and effect and are of a nature and provide such coverage as is sufficient and as is
customarily carried by companies of the size and character of such Consolidated Party and engaged in a similar business. In the past three years, no Consolidated Party has been refused insurance for which it applied or had any policy of insurance
terminated (other than at its request). 
  
 5.22 Labor
Matters. There are no material strikes, unfair labor practice charges or other labor disputes or grievances pending or, to the best of the Consolidated Parties’ knowledge, threatened against any Consolidated Party. No Consolidated Party has
received any written complaints, and has no knowledge of any threatened complaints, nor to the best of the Consolidated Parties’ knowledge are any such complaints on file with any Governmental Authority, alleging material employment

 SECTION 11. GUARANTY. 
  
 11.1 Guaranty; Limitation of Liability. 
  
 (a) Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether at scheduled maturity or on any
date of a required prepayment or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all Obligations of the Borrower and each other Guarantor now or hereafter existing under or in respect of this Agreement or any Loan Document (including, without limitation,
any extensions, modifications, substitutions, amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing Obligations), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, contract causes
of action, costs, expenses or otherwise (such Obligations being the “Guarantied Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all expenses incurred by the Agent or any Lender in enforcing any rights under this Agreement or any Loan
Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guarantied Obligations and would be owed by any other Loan Party to the Agent or any Lender under or
in respect of this Agreement and the Loan Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving such other Loan Party. 
  
 (b) Each of the Guarantors, the Agent and the Lenders hereby confirms that it
is the intention of all such Persons that this Guaranty and the Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Debtor Relief Laws, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform
Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar Law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty and the Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Agent, the Lenders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the
Obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 

 
 (c) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in
the event any payment shall be required to be made to the Agent or any Lender under this Guaranty, such Guarantor will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, such amounts to each other Guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate amount
paid in respect of this Agreement and the Loan Documents. 
  

 - 59 - 

 11.2 Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guarantied Obligations will be paid
strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Loan Documents, regardless of any Law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Agent or any Lender with respect thereto. The
Obligations of each Guarantor under or in respect of this Guaranty are independent of the Guarantied Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and a separate action or
actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce this Agreement, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Borrower or any other Loan Party or whether the Borrower or any other Loan Party is joined in any such
action or actions. This Guaranty is a present and continuing, absolute and unconditional guaranty of payment when due, and not of collection, by each Guarantor jointly and severally with any other Guarantor of the Guarantied Obligations. The
liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, any defenses it may now have or hereafter
acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following: 
  
 (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto; 
  
 (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guarantied Obligations or any other Obligations of
any other Loan Party under or in respect of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from this Agreement or any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guarantied
Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise; 
  
 (c) any taking, exchange, release, subordination or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any taking, release, subordination or amendment or waiver of, or
consent to departure from, any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guarantied Obligations; 
  
 (d) any manner of application of Collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guarantied Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral for all or any of the Guarantied Obligations
or any other Obligations of any Loan Party under the this Agreement or the Loan Documents or any other assets of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries; 
  
 (e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any insolvency,
bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Consolidated Party or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any Guarantied Obligation; 
  
 (f) the existence of any claim, setoff or other right which any Guarantor may have at any time against any Loan Party, the
Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or with any unrelated transaction; 
  

 - 60 - 

 (g) any provision of applicable Law purporting to prohibit the payment or performance by any Loan Party
of the Guarantied Obligations; 
  
 (h) any failure of the Agent
or any Lender to disclose to any Loan Party any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to the Agent or such Lender
(each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Agent and the Lenders to disclose such information); 
  
 (i) the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Agreement or any other guaranty or agreement or the release, subordination or reduction of
liability of any Guarantor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guarantied Obligations; or 
 (j) any other circumstance
(including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Agent or any Lender that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other
guarantor or surety. 
  
 This Guaranty shall continue to be
effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Agent or any Lender or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of any Consolidated Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. 
  
 11.3 Waivers and Acknowledgments. 
  
 (a) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance,
presentment, demand for performance, notice of nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and any other notice with respect to any of the Guarantied Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that the Agent or any Lender
protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any Loan Party or any other Person or any Collateral. 
  
 (b) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, any right to
revoke this Guaranty and acknowledges that this Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all Guarantied Obligations, whether existing now or in the future. 
  
 (c) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (i) any
defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the Agent or any Lender that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or
indemnification rights of such Guarantor or other rights of such Guarantor to proceed against any of the other Loan Parties, any other guarantor or any other Person or any Collateral and (ii) any defense based on any right of setoff or counterclaim
against or in respect of the Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder. 
  

 - 61 - 

 (d) Each Guarantor acknowledges that the Agent may, without notice to or demand upon such Guarantor and
without affecting the liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty, foreclose under any mortgage by nonjudicial sale to the extent permitted by applicable Law, and each Guarantor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, any
defense to the recovery by the Agent and the Lenders against such Guarantor of any deficiency after such nonjudicial sale and any defense or benefits that may be afforded by applicable Law. 
  
 (e) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on
the part of the Agent or any Lender to disclose to such Guarantor any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Consolidated Party now or
hereafter known by the Agent or such Lender. 
  
 (f) Each
Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Agreement and the Loan Documents and that the waivers set forth in Section 11.2 and this Section 11.3 are
knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 
  
 11.4
Subordination. (a) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other guarantor that arise from the
existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s Obligations under or in respect of this Agreement or any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution
(pursuant to Section 11.1(c) or otherwise) or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Agent or any Lender against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other guarantor or any Collateral, whether or not such
claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other
property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until the Guarantied Obligations have been paid in full and the Lenders have no further obligation to extend credit pursuant
hereto. 
  
 (b) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that any and all
debts, liabilities and other obligations owed to such Guarantor by each other Loan Party, including pursuant to Section 11.1(c) (collectively, the “Subordinated Obligations”), are hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full in
cash of the Obligations of such other Loan Party hereunder and under the Loan Documents to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Section 11.4(b): 
  
 (i) no Guarantor shall demand, accept or take any action to collect any payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations
prior to payment in full in cash of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 
  
 (ii) In any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law relating to any other Loan Party, each Guarantor agrees that the Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all Obligations
(including all interest and expenses accruing 

  

 - 62 - 

 
after the commencement of a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, whether or not constituting an allowed claim in such proceeding (“Post Petition
Interest”)) before such Guarantor receives payment of any Subordinated Obligations. 
  
 (iii) After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Guarantor shall, if the Agent so requests, collect, enforce and receive payments on account of the Subordinated Obligations as
trustee for the Agent and the Lenders and deliver such payments to the Agent for application to the Guarantied Obligations (including all Post Petition Interest), together with any necessary endorsements or other instruments of transfer, but without
reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Agreement. 
  
 (iv) After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Agent is authorized and empowered (but without any obligation to so
do), in its discretion, (A) in the name of any Guarantor, to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations and to apply any amounts received thereon to the Guarantied Obligations (including any and all Post
Petition Interest), and (B) to require any Guarantor (1) to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations and (2) to pay any amounts received on such obligations to the Agent for application to the Guarantied
Obligations (including any and all Post Petition Interest).

Guarantor and shall forthwith be paid or delivered to the Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied to the Guarantied Obligations and all other amounts payable under this
Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, or to be held as Collateral for any Guarantied Obligations or other amounts payable under this
Agreement or any of the Loan Documents thereafter arising.

fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender by reason of this Agreement. In its capacity as Agent hereunder, the Agent does not hereby assume any fiduciary duties to any of the Lenders and is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and
duties of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Loan Documents. Each of the Lenders hereby agrees to assert no claim against the Agent on any agency theory or any other theory of liability for breach of fiduciary
duty, all of which claims each Lender hereby 

  

 - 63 - 

 
waives. Neither Calyon New York Branch, as Co-Lead Arranger, nor The Royal Bank of Scotland plc, as Documentation Agent, shall have any rights or obligations
hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents in their capacities as Co-Lead Arranger and Documentation Agent, respectively (their rights and obligations being those of Lenders). 
  
 12.2 Powers. The Agent shall have and may exercise such powers hereunder as are specifically delegated to it by the
terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent shall not have any implied duties or any obligation to the Lenders to take any action hereunder except any action specifically provided by this Agreement to be
taken by the Agent. 
  
 12.3 General Immunity. Neither the
Agent nor any of its directors, officers, affiliates, agents or employees shall be liable to the Lenders or any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or in connection herewith except for its or their own gross
negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, affiliates, agents or employees shall be responsible for, or have any duty to examine (a) the genuineness, execution, validity,
effectiveness, enforceability, value or sufficiency of this Agreement, any Loan Document, or any other document or instrument furnished pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or any Loan Document, (b) the collectibility of any amounts owed
by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, (c) any recitals, statements, reports, representations or warranties made in connection with this Agreement or any Loan Document, (d) the performance or satisfaction by the Loan Parties of any covenant or
agreement contained herein or in any Loan Document, (e) any failure of any party to this Agreement to receive any communication sent, including any telegram, teletype, bank wire, cable, radiogram, electronic message or telephone message sent or any
writing, application, notice, report, statement, certificate, resolution, request, order, consent letter or other instrument or paper or communication entrusted to the mails or to a delivery service, or (f) the assets or liabilities or financial
condition or results of operations or business or credit-worthiness of any Consolidated Party. The Agent shall not be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Agreement or any Loan Document.

  
 12.4 Action on Instructions of the Lenders. The Agent
shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders (subject
to Section 12.12 hereof), and such instructions shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all holders of the Notes; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes it to personal liability or
which is contrary to this Agreement or applicable Law. The foregoing provisions of this Section 12.4 shall not limit in any way the exercise by any Lender of any right or remedy granted to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any
Loan Document. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any reference in this Agreement to action by the Lenders shall be deemed to be a reference to the Required Lenders. 
  
 12.5 Employment of Agents and Counsel. The Agent may execute any of its duties as Agent hereunder by or through
employees, agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable or liable to the Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by
it with reasonable care. 
  

 - 64 - 

 12.6 Reliance on Documents; Counsel. 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 the proper Person. 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 that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless
the Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), 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. 
  
 12.7 Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Agent (which indemnification shall be shared
by the Lenders ratably in proportion to their respective Ratable Shares) (a) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Loan Parties for which the Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Loan Parties hereunder or under any Loan Document, (b) for any
other expenses reasonably incurred by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, amendment or enforcement hereof or of any of the Loan Documents and (c) for any liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this
Agreement, any Loan Document or any other document related hereto or thereto or the transactions contemplated hereby or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Lender shall be
liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent. 
  
 12.8 Rights as a Lender. With respect to its Ratable Share of the Commitment, the Loans made by it and the Notes issued to it, the Agent shall have
the same rights and powers hereunder as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual
capacity. The Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking or trust business with the Consolidated Parties as if it were not the Agent hereunder. 
  
 12.9 Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has,
independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by the Consolidated Parties and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement and the Loan Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such 

  

 - 65 - 

 
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this
Agreement and the Loan Documents. The Agent shall not be required to keep the Lenders informed as to the performance or observance by the Loan Parties of this Agreement or any other document referred to or provided for herein or to inspect the
properties or books of any Consolidated Party. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent hereunder, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide
any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of any Consolidated Party that may come into its possession. 
  
 12.10 Successor Agent. 
  
 (a) The Agent may, without the consent of the Borrower or the other Lenders, assign its rights and obligations as Agent hereunder and under the Loan
Documents to any of its wholly owned subsidiaries that has capital and retained earnings of at least $500,000,000, and upon such assignment, the former Agent shall be deemed to have retired, and such wholly owned subsidiary shall be deemed to be a
successor Agent. 
  
 (b) The Agent may resign at any time by
giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders, with the consent of the Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent;
provided, however, that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required if at the time of such resignation an Event of Default exists. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted
such appointment within thirty days after the notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may appoint a successor Agent. Such successor Agent shall be a financial institution having capital and retained earnings of at least $500,000,000.

  
 (c) Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Agent
hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the assigning or retiring Agent, and the assigning or retiring Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations hereunder. After any assigning or retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Agent, the provisions of this Section 12 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 the Agent hereunder. 
  
 12.11
Ratable Sharing. All principal and interest payments on Loans and commitment fees received by the Agent shall be remitted to the Lenders in accordance with their Ratable Shares. Any amounts received by the Agent or any other Lender upon the
sale of any Collateral or upon the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents or upon the exercise of any right of setoff shall be applied in accordance with Section 10.6. If any Lender shall obtain any payment hereunder
(whether voluntary, involuntary, through exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) in excess of its Ratable Share, then such Lender shall immediately remit such excess to the other Lenders pro rata. 
  
 12.12 Actions by the Agent and the Lenders. The Agent shall take
formal action following the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default only upon the agreement of the 

  

 - 66 - 

 
Required Lenders; provided, however, that if the Agent gives notice to the Lenders of a Default or an Event of Default, and the Required
Lenders cannot agree (which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld) on a mutual course of action within ten days following such notice, the Agent may (but shall not be required to) pursue such legal rights and remedies against the Loan Parties
as it deems necessary and appropriate to protect the Lenders and any Collateral under the circumstances. 
  
 12.13 Collateral Matters. 
  
 (a) The Agent is authorized by each Lender, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, and without the obligation to take
any such action, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or any Loan Document that the Agent reasonably believes may from time to time be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens of the Loan Documents. 
  
 (b) The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its option and in its
discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitment and the payment in full of all Loans and all other Obligations payable under this Agreement and the Loan Documents (other than
contingent Obligations that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement or the Loan Documents); (ii) constituting property of a Consolidated Party that is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in connection with any transaction not
prohibited by this Agreement or the Loan Documents; or (iii) if approved or consented to by those of the Lenders required by Section 13.14. Upon request by the Agent, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Agent’s authority to release
particular types or items of collateral pursuant to this Section. 
  
 SECTION 13.
MISCELLANEOUS. 
  
 13.1 Construction. The provisions of
this Agreement shall be in addition to those of the Loan Documents and to those of any other guaranty, security agreement, note or other evidence of the liability relating to the Loan Parties held by the Lenders, all of which shall be construed as
complementary to each other. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Agent or the Lenders from enforcing any or all of such instruments in accordance with their respective terms. Each right, power or privilege specified or referred to in this
Agreement or in any Loan Document is in addition to any other rights, powers or privileges that the Agent or the Lenders may otherwise have or acquire by operation of law, by other contract or otherwise. No course of dealing in respect of, nor any
omission or delay in the exercise of, any right, power or privilege by the Agent or the Lenders shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any further or other exercise thereof or of any other right,
power or privilege, as each right, power or privilege may be exercised independently or concurrently with others and as often and in such order as the Agent or the Lenders may deem expedient. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
the Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount of interest pursuant hereto or pursuant to the Notes that is in excess of the maximum amount permitted by law. 
  
 13.2 Further Assurance. From time to time, the Borrower and each Guarantor shall, and shall cause their Subsidiaries

 13.3 Expenses of the Agent and the Lenders; Indemnification. 
  
 (a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, the Borrower and the Guarantors shall
pay the costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of the Agent’s special counsel, incurred by the Agent and the Lenders in connection with (i) the negotiation, preparation, administration, amendment or enforcement of
this Agreement and the Loan Documents and the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; (ii) the perfection of the Liens granted pursuant hereto or pursuant to the Loan Documents; (iii) the making of the Loans hereunder; (iv) the
negotiation, preparation or enforcement of any other document in connection with this Agreement, the Loan Documents or the Loans made hereunder; (v) any proceeding brought or formal action taken by the Agent or the Lenders to enforce any provision
of this Agreement or any Loan Document, or to enforce or exercise or preserve any right, power or remedy hereunder or thereunder; or (vi) any action which may be taken or instituted by any Person against the Agent or any Lender as a result of any of
the foregoing. The fees and expenses of the Agent’s special counsel through the Closing Date shall be paid on the Closing Date. If any taxes, charges or fees shall be payable, or ruled to be payable, to any state or federal authority in respect
of the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document by reason of any existing or hereinafter enacted Federal or state statute (other than any such taxes on the net income of the Lenders and any taxes,
charges or fees that are included in the LIBOR Reserve Percentage), the Borrower will pay all such taxes, charges or fees, including interest and penalties thereon, if any, and will indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and the Lenders against any
liability in connection therewith. 
  
 (b) The Borrower and the
Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and each Lender and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, counsel, subsidiaries and affiliates (the “Indemnified Persons”) from and
against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys fees) that may be imposed on, incurred by,

or the business, assets or operations of any Consolidated Party or the ownership, maintenance, operation or management of the Tower Sites; provided, however, that the Borrower and the Guarantors shall not be liable to any Indemnified
Person if there is a final non-appealable judicial determination that such claims, losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnified Person.

 13.5 Waiver and Release by the Borrower. Neither the Agent, nor any Lender, nor any Affiliate, officer, director, employee, attorney or agent of
the Agent or any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and the Borrower and the Guarantors hereby waive, release 

  

 - 69 - 

 
and agree not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages suffered or incurred by any Consolidated
Party in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, and the Borrower and the Guarantors hereby
release the Agent and each Lender from, and hereby waive, all claims for loss or damage caused by any act or omission on the part of the Agent or any Lender or their respective officers, attorneys, agents and employees, except any such claims
determined pursuant a final non-appealable judicial determination to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or such Lender. 
  
 13.6 Right of Set Off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender is hereby
authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by
such Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any Guarantor against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors now or hereafter existing hereunder or under any Loan Document,
irrespective of whether or not such Lender or its Affiliate shall have made any demand hereunder or under any Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of the Lenders under this Section are in addition to other rights
and remedies (including without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Lenders may have. The Borrower and the Guarantors agree, to the fullest extent they may effectively do so under applicable law, that any other holder of a participation
in any Note may exercise rights of set-off or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of the Borrower or any of the Guarantors in the amount of such
participation. 
  
 13.7 Successors and Assigns;
Participations. 
  
 (a) Whenever in this Agreement any of
the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party; provided, however, that neither the Borrower nor any of the Guarantors shall assign or transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder or under any Note without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders and the Agent. 
  
 (b) Each Lender may assign all or any part of any of its Loans, its Notes, and its share of the Commitment with the consent of the Borrower and the
Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that (i) no such consent by the Borrower shall be required (A) for any such assignment by any Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender or to another Lender or an Affiliate of another
Lender, or (B) if, at the time of such assignment, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) any such partial assignment shall be in an amount at least equal to $5,000,000; and (iii) each such assignment shall be made by a Lender in
such manner that the same portion of its Loans, its Notes and its share of the Commitment is assigned to the assignee. Upon execution and delivery by the assignor and the assignee to the Borrower and the Agent of an Assignment and Amendment
Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, pursuant to which such assignee agrees to become a “Lender” hereunder (if not already a Lender) having the share of the Commitment and Loans specified in such instrument, and upon
consent thereto by the Agent and the Borrower (to the extent required), the 
  

 - 70 - 

 
assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise provided in such assignment with the consent of the Agent), the obligations, rights
and benefits of a Lender hereunder holding the share of the Commitment and Loans (or portions thereof) assigned to it (in addition to the share of the Commitment and Loans, if any, theretofore held by such assignee) and the assigning Lender shall,
to the extent of such assignment, be released from the share of the Commitment and the obligations hereunder so assigned. 
  
 (c) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Amendment Agreement pursuant to Section 13.7(b) duly executed by an assigning Lender and the assignee, together
with any Note subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, the Agent shall, if such assignment has been completed, accept such assignment. Within five business days after receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at the
Borrower’s own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Agent in exchange for each surrendered Note a new Note to the order of the assignee in an amount equal to the share of the Commitment and of the Loans assumed by the assignee and, if the
assigning Lender has retained a portion of the Commitment and the Loans hereunder, a new Note to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the share of the Commitment and the Loans retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall be in
an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such assignment and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto. Cancelled Notes shall
be returned to the Borrower. Schedule 1.1 shall be amended by each Assignment and Amendment Agreement to reflect the revised Ratable Shares of the Lenders. 
  
 (d) A Lender may sell or agree to sell to one or more other Persons (each, a “Participant”) a
participation in all or any part of any Loans held by it, or in its share of the Commitment. Except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of this Section 13.7(d), no Participant shall have any rights or benefits under this Agreement or any Note
or any other Loan Documents (the Participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreements executed by such Lender in favor of the Participant). All amounts payable by the Borrower to any
Lender under Section 2 hereof in respect of Loans held by it, and its share of the Commitment, shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold or agreed to sell any participations in such Loans and share of the Commitment, and as if such Lender
were funding each of such Loans and its share of the Commitment in the same way that it is funding the portion of such Loans and its share of the Commitment in which no participations have been sold. In no event shall a Lender that sells a
participation agree with the Participant to take or refrain from taking any action hereunder or under any Loan Document except that such Lender may agree with the Participant that it will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any
modification, supplement or waiver hereof or of any of the Loan Documents to the extent that the same, under Section 13.14 hereof, requires the consent of each Lender. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 2.6 through 2.13 and Section 13.6 with respect to its participating interest. 
  
 (e) In addition to the assignments and participations permitted under the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.7, any Lender may assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans and its Notes to any Federal
Reserve Lender as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Lender. No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its
obligations hereunder. 
  

 - 71 - 

 (f) A Lender may, subject to Section 13.19, furnish any information concerning the Consolidated Parties
in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants). 
  
 (g) Anything in this Section 13.7 to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to
the Borrower or any of its Affiliates without the prior written consent of each Lender. 
  
 (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the
Granting Lender to the Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein
shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms
hereof. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Loan Parties under this Agreement,
(ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other
modification of any provision of this Agreement or any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were
made by such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all
outstanding commercial paper or other debt of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the Laws of the
United States or any State thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to the Borrower and the Agent, but without prior consent of the Borrower or the Agent and without the payment of any
processing and recordation fee, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any
rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. 
  
 13.8 Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND THE DUTIES, RIGHTS, POWERS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THERETO, SHALL
BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS PROVISIONS THEREOF), EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY LOAN DOCUMENT PROVIDES THAT THE LOCAL LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION GOVERNS
THE GRANT,

PERFECTION OR ENFORCEMENT OF THE LIENS GRANTED PURSUANT TO SUCH LOAN DOCUMENT. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN FULLY DISCUSSED BY THE BORROWER,
THE GUARANTORS AND THE AGENT ON BEHALF OF THE LENDERS AND SHALL BE SUBJECT TO NO EXCEPTIONS. THE BORROWER AND THE GUARANTORS HAVE MADE THIS CHOICE OF GOVERNING LAW KNOWINGLY AND WILLINGLY AND AFTER CONSULTING WITH THEIR COUNSEL. NONE OF THE AGENT,
ANY LENDER, THE BORROWER NOR ANY GUARANTOR HAS AGREED WITH OR REPRESENTED TO ANY OTHER PARTY THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION WILL NOT BE FULLY ENFORCED IN ALL INSTANCES. 
  
 13.9 ENFORCEMENT. EACH OF THE BORROWER AND THE GUARANTORS (A) HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE
STATE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY LOAN
DOCUMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR THEREOF BROUGHT BY THE AGENT OR THE LENDERS OR THEIR SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS AND (B) HEREBY WAIVES, AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT, BY WAY OF MOTION, AS A DEFENSE, OR OTHERWISE, IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR
PROCEEDING, ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT SUBJECT PERSONALLY TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE ABOVE-NAMED COURTS, THAT ITS PROPERTY IS EXEMPT OR IMMUNE FROM ATTACHMENT OR EXECUTION, THAT THE SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM, THAT
THE VENUE OF THE SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS IMPROPER OR THAT THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR THEREOF MAY NOT BE ENFORCED IN OR BY SUCH COURT, AND (C) HEREBY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO SEEK ANY REVIEW BY ANY COURT
OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION THAT MAY BE CALLED UPON TO GRANT AN ENFORCEMENT OF THE JUDGMENT OF ANY SUCH NEW YORK STATE OR FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE BORROWER AND THE GUARANTORS HEREBY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS BY REGISTERED MAIL AT THE ADDRESS TO
WHICH NOTICES ARE TO BE GIVEN. EACH OF THE BORROWER AND THE GUARANTORS AGREES THAT ITS SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION AND ITS CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS BY MAIL IS MADE FOR THE EXPRESS BENEFIT OF THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS. FINAL JUDGMENT AGAINST THE
BORROWER OR ANY GUARANTOR IN ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ON THE JUDGMENT, OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY OR PURSUANT TO THE LAWS OF SUCH OTHER JURISDICTION;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE AGENT OR THE LENDERS MAY AT THEIR OPTION BRING SUIT, OR INSTITUTE OTHER JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS, AGAINST THE BORROWER, ANY GUARANTOR OR ANY OF THEIR ASSETS IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF THE UNITED STATES OR
OF ANY COUNTRY OR PLACE WHERE THE BORROWER, SUCH GUARANTOR OR SUCH ASSETS, MAY BE FOUND. 
  
 13.10 JURY TRIAL WAIVER. THE BORROWER, THE GUARANTORS, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS EACH WAIVE IRREVOCABLY, TO THE EXTENT 

  

 - 73 - 

 
PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, AMONG THE AGENT, THE
LENDERS, THE BORROWER AND THE GUARANTORS ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED
OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO AND THERETO. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. THE BORROWER, THE GUARANTORS, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THE WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THE WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. THE
BORROWER, THE GUARANTORS, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS FURTHER WARRANT AND REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL
COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (UNLESS EXPRESSLY MODIFIED IN WRITING BY ALL PARTIES HERETO), AND THE WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND TO ANY
OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOANS. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT. 
  
 13.11 Binding Effect and Entire Agreement; No Oral Agreements. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the
respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. This Agreement, the Schedules and Exhibits hereto, which are hereby incorporated in this Agreement, and the Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties on the
subject matter hereof. There are no unwritten or oral agreements among the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Agent and the Lenders, and this written Agreement, the Notes, the other Loan Documents, and the instruments and documents executed in connection
herewith, represent the final agreement among the parties and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. 
  
 13.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts or duplicate originals, each of
which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 
  
 13.13 Survival of Agreements. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein or in any Loan Document shall survive any
investigation and the Closing Date, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any of the Obligations remain to be performed or paid or the Lenders have any obligation to advance sums hereunder. 
  

 - 74 - 

 13.14 Modification. Any term of this Agreement or of any Note may be amended and the observance of
any term of this Agreement or of any Note may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of the Borrower, the Guarantors and the Required Lenders, and any
amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 13.14 shall be binding upon each holder of a Note at the time outstanding, each future holder of a Note, the Borrower and the Guarantors; provided, however, that no such
amendment or waiver or other action shall, without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders or the holders of all of the Notes at the time outstanding, (a) extend the maturity or reduce the principal amount of, or reduce the rate or extend
the time of payment of interest on, or reduce the amount or extend the time of payment of any principal installment of, any Note, (b) reduce the amount or extend the time of payment of the commitment fees, (c) change the Commitment or the Ratable
Share of any Lender (other than any change in Commitment or Ratable Share resulting from the sale of a participation in or assignment of any Lender’s interest in the Commitment and Loans in accordance with Section 13.7), (d) change the
percentage referred to in the definition of “Required Lenders” contained in Section 1.1, or reduce the number of Lenders required to approve any consent, waiver, amendment or modification, (e) amend this Section 13.14, (f) amend or waive
compliance with Section 2.5(b), or (g) release any material portion of the Collateral or any Guarantee for the Loans, except in either case in connection with a transaction otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement; and provided,
further, that notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.14, this Agreement (including Schedule 1.1) and the Notes may be amended or modified in the manner contemplated by Section 13.7 for the purpose of permitting any
Lender to assign its interest, rights and obligations hereunder to another Person, if the appropriate Assignment and Amendment Agreement or counterparts thereof are executed by the Borrower (to the extent required), the Agent and the appropriate
Lender assignor and assignee. In addition, no amendment, waiver or consent to the provisions of Section 12, or any other provision affecting the rights or duties of the Agent, shall be made without the written consent of the Agent. Any amendment or
waiver effected in accordance with this Section 13.14 shall be binding upon each holder of any Note at the time outstanding, each future holder of any Note, the Borrower and the Guarantor. 
  
 13.15 Separability. If any one or more of the provisions contained in
this Agreement or any Loan Document should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of all remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired. Any provision of this Agreement that
is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability
of such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
  
 13.16 Section
Headings. The section headings contained herein are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 
  
 13.17 Termination. 
  
 (a) This Agreement shall terminate when all amounts due hereunder, under each Note and under each Loan Document shall have been indefeasibly paid in full
in cash and all other Obligations hereunder or thereunder shall have been fully performed, so long as the 

  

 - 75 - 

 
Lenders have no further obligation to advance sums hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated
and relate back to such time as though this Agreement had always been in effect, as the case may be, if at any time any amount received by the Agent or any Lender in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned
by such Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Consolidated Party or any other Person or upon the appointment of any intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar official for, any
Consolidated Party or any other Person or any substantial part of its properties, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any Loan Document, any indemnification or
expense reimbursement provision contained herein or in any Loan Document shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement or such Loan Document. 
  
 (b) In connection with any termination of or release from the Borrower’s obligations under Section 7.12(a), the Agent
shall execute and deliver to the Borrower, at the Borrower’s expense, all documents that the Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 13.17 shall
be without recourse to or warranty by the Agent. 
  
 13.18
Interest Limitation. It is the intention of the Borrower and the Lenders to conform strictly to the respective usury laws applicable to the Lenders. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby would be usurious under applicable law
as to any Lender, then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Notes or this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, it is agreed as follows: (a) the aggregate of all consideration that constitutes interest under law
applicable to such Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received under any Note payable to such Lender or this Agreement or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in connection with such Note shall under no circumstances
exceed the maximum amount allowed by such law (or, if the principal amount of such Note shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to the Borrower); and (b) in the event that the maturity of any Note payable to a Lender is
accelerated or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under law applicable to such Lender may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and excess
interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be cancelled automatically as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of such Note (or, if
the principal amount of such Note shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the Borrower). All calculations made to compute the rate of interest that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received under
any Note payable to any Lender or under this Agreement or under any Loan Document or otherwise in connection with such Note for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the maximum amount allowed by law applicable to such Lender shall be
made, to the extent permitted by such applicable law, by amortizing, prorating, and spreading in equal parts during the period of the full stated term of the Loan or Loans evidenced by such Note all interest at any time contracted for, taken,
reserved, charged or received by such Lender in connection therewith. 
  
 13.19 Confidentiality. Each of the Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed 

  

 - 76 - 

 
(a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ partners, directors, officers, employees, advisors and representatives in connection with the
administration of its rights and performance of its obligations hereunder (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information
confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have authority over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by
applicable Law or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement
or any Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or
Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (ii) any pledgee referred to in Section 13.7(e) or (iii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Loan
Parties and their obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Agent, any Lender or any of
their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than any Consolidated Party or any of their Affiliates. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any
Consolidated Party relating to any Consolidated Party or any of their respective businesses that is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential, other than any such information that is available to the Agent or any Lender on a
nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Consolidated Parties. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 13.19 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such
Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 
  
 13.20 Marshaling. The Agent and the Lenders shall not be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of a
Loan Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. 
  
 13.21 USA Patriot Act Notice. Each of the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) and each Lender hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III
of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), it is or may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the names and addresses of the Loan Parties and other information
that will allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with such Act. 
  
 13.22 Waivers. As additional consideration for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the parties hereto and the
execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by the parties thereto, the Borrower and the Guarantors warrant and represent that no facts, events, statuses or conditions exist or have existed which, either now or with the passage of time
or giving of notice, or both, constitute or will constitute a basis for any claim or cause of action against the Agent or any Lender or any defense to (i) the payment of any indebtedness hereunder or under the Notes or the Loan Documents, or (ii)
the performance of 

  

 - 77 - 

 
any of its obligations with respect to this Agreement, the Notes or the Loan Documents, and in the event any such facts, events, statuses or conditions exist
or have existed, the Borrower and the Guarantors unconditionally and irrevocably waive any and all claims and causes of action against the Agent and the Lenders and any defense to its payment and performance obligations in respect to this Agreement,
the Notes and the Loan Documents.
