WHEREAS, Borrower, Agent and certain of the Lenders entered into that certain First Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement dated as of March 13, 2019, as amended by that certain First Amendment to First Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement dated as of March 24, 2020, by that certain Second Amendment to First Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement dated as of August 10, 2020, and by that certain Third Amendment to First Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement dated as of November 12, 2021 (as varied, extended, supplemented, consolidated, replaced, increased, renewed, modified or amended from time to time prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment, the “Existing Credit Agreement”, and the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment is referred to herein as the “Credit Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, Borrower has requested that the Agent and the Lenders make certain modifications to the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Agent and the Lenders have agreed to make such modifications subject to the execution and delivery by Borrower and Guarantors of this Amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto do hereby covenant and agree as follows:
1.Definitions.  All the terms used herein which are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.
2.Modification of the Credit Agreement.  Borrower, the Lenders and Agent do hereby modify and amend the Existing Credit Agreement by deleting from the Existing Credit Agreement the text that is shown as a deletion or strike-through in the form of the Credit Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit “A” and made a part hereof (the “Revised Credit Agreement”), and by inserting in the Existing Credit Agreement the text shown as an insertion or underlined text in the Revised Credit Agreement, such that from and after the Effective Date (as hereinafter defined) the Credit Agreement is amended to read as set forth in the Revised Credit Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the calculation templates attached to the Borrowing Base Certificate and Compliance Certificate shall be the templates attached to the Revised Credit Agreement, regardless that those templates are not marked by deletion, strike-through, insertion or underline.  From and after the Effective Date, for all purposes under the Loan Documents, the Credit Agreement shall be the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment.

3.References to Loan Documents.  All references in the Loan Documents to the Credit Agreement shall be deemed a reference to the Credit Agreement as modified and amended herein.  
4.Consent and Acknowledgment of Borrower and Guarantors.  By execution of this Amendment, the Guarantors hereby expressly consent to the modifications and amendments relating to the Credit Agreement as set forth herein and any other agreements or instruments executed in connection herewith, and Borrower and Guarantors hereby acknowledge, represent and agree that (a) the Credit Agreement, as modified and amended herein, and the other Loan Documents remains in full force and effect and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of Borrower and Guarantors, as applicable, enforceable against such Persons in accordance with their respective terms, (b) that the Guaranty extends to and applies to the Credit Agreement as modified and amended herein, and (c) that the execution and delivery of this Amendment and any other agreements or instruments executed in connection herewith does not constitute, and shall not be deemed to constitute, a release, waiver or satisfaction of Borrower’s or any Guarantor’s obligations under the Loan Documents.
5.Representations and Warranties.  Borrower and Guarantors represent and warrant to Agent and the Lenders as follows:
(a)Authorization.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment and any other agreements or instruments executed in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (i) are within the authority of Borrower and Guarantors, (ii) have been duly authorized by all necessary proceedings on the part of the Borrower and Guarantors, (iii) do not and will not conflict with or result in any breach or contravention of any provision of law, statute, rule or regulation to which Borrower or any Guarantor is subject or any judgment, order, writ, injunction, license or permit applicable to Borrower or any Guarantor, (iv) do not and will not conflict with or constitute a default (whether with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both) under any provision of the partnership agreement, articles of incorporation or other charter documents or bylaws of, or any agreement or other instrument binding upon, Borrower or any Guarantor or any of their respective properties, (v) do not and will not result in or require the imposition of any lien or other encumbrance on any of the properties, assets or rights of Borrower or any Guarantor, other than those in favor of Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Lenders, pursuant to the Loan Documents, and (vi) do not require the approval or consent of any Person other than those already obtained and delivered to the Agent.
(b)Enforceability.  This Amendment and any other agreements or instruments executed in connection herewith to which Borrower or any Guarantor is a party are the valid and legally binding obligations of Borrower and Guarantors enforceable in accordance with the respective terms and provisions hereof, except as enforceability is limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights and the effect of general principles of equity.
(c)Governmental Approvals.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment and any other agreements or instruments executed in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not require the approval or consent of, or any filing or registration with, or the giving of any notice to, any court, department, board, governmental agency or authority other than those already obtained, and filings after the date hereof of disclosures with the SEC, or as may be required hereafter with respect to tenant improvements, repairs or other work with respect to any Real Estate.

US_ACTIVE\122017991\V-3

any document or instrument delivered pursuant to or in connection with the Credit Agreement or this Amendment is true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof, with the same effect as if made at and as of the date hereof, except to the extent of changes resulting from transactions permitted by the Loan Documents (it being understood and agreed that, with respect to any representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of a specified date, such representation or warranty is reaffirmed hereby only as of such specified date), in each case, after giving effect to this Amendment.  To the extent that any of the representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or in any document or instrument delivered pursuant to or in connection with the Credit Agreement or this Amendment is qualified by “Material Adverse Effect” or any other materiality qualifier, then the qualifier “in all material respects” contained in this Paragraph 5(d) shall not apply with respect to any such representations and warranties.

13.MISCELLANEOUS.  THIS AMENDMENT SHALL, PURSUANT TO NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SECTION 5-1401, BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.  This Amendment shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors, successors-in-title and assigns as provided in the Credit Agreement.  All interest accrued and unpaid under the Credit Agreement as of the Effective Date shall be due and payable in the amount determined pursuant to the Credit Agreement prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment for periods prior to the Effective Date on the next payment date for such interest set forth in the Credit Agreement.
14.Electronic Signatures.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment by facsimile or as an attachment to an electronic mail message in .pdf, .jpeg, .TIFF or similar electronic format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment for all purposes.  The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Amendment and any other Loan Document to be signed in connection with this Amendment, the other Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any Applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that nothing herein shall require the Agent to accept electronic signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent.

§2.THE CREDIT FACILITY.
§2.1Revolving Credit Loans.  
(ai)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the Revolving Credit Lenders severally agrees to lend to the Borrower, and the Borrower may borrow (and repay and reborrow), from time to time between the Closing Date and the Revolving Credit Maturity Date upon notice by the Borrower to the Agent given in accordance with §2.7, such sums as are requested by the Borrower for the purposes set forth in §2.9 up to a maximum 
    49    

aggregate principal amount outstanding (after giving effect to all amounts requested) at any one time equal to the lesser of (i) such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and (ii) such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the sum of (A) the Borrowing Base Availability minus (B) the sum of (1) the amount of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans and Swing Loans, and (2) the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities; provided, that, in all events no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and provided, further, that the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans (after giving effect to all amounts requested), Term Loans, Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not at any time (i) exceed the lesser of (A) Borrowing Base Availability and (B) the Total Commitment or (ii) cause a violation of the covenant set forth in §9.1.  The Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata in accordance with each Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage.  Each request for a Revolving Credit Loan hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that all of the conditions required of the Borrower set forth in §11 (and, in the case of any request for a Revolving Credit Loan hereunder on the Closing Date, §10) have been satisfied on the date of such request.  The Agent may assume that the conditions in §10 and §11 have been satisfied unless it receives prior written notice from a Revolving Credit Lender that such conditions have not been satisfied.  No Revolving Credit Lender shall have any obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrower or participate in Letter of Credit Liabilities in the maximum aggregate principal outstanding balance of more than the lesser of the amount equal to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the principal face amount of its Revolving Credit Note.
(aj)The Revolving Credit Loans shall be evidenced by separate promissory notes of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit C-1 hereto (collectively, the “Revolving Credit Notes”), dated of even date with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in §18.3) and completed with appropriate insertions.  One Revolving Credit Note shall be payable to the order of each Revolving Credit Lender in the principal amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Commitment or, if less, the outstanding amount of all Revolving Credit Loans made by such Revolving Credit Lender, plus interest accrued thereon, as set forth below.  The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Agent to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of the Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loan or the time of receipt of any payment of principal thereof, an appropriate notation on the Agent’s Record reflecting the making of such Revolving Credit Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment.  The outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans set forth on the Agent’s Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to each Revolving Credit Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on the Agent’s Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any Revolving Credit Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Revolving Credit Note when due.  By delivery of this Agreement and any Revolving Credit Note, there shall not be deemed to have occurred, and there has not otherwise occurred, any payment, satisfaction or novation of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Existing Credit Agreement or the “Revolving Credit Notes” described in the Existing Credit Agreement, which Indebtedness is instead allocated among the Revolving Credit Lenders as of the date hereof in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (it being acknowledged that the Indebtedness evidenced by the “Revolving Credit Notes” of the Exiting Lenders is being allocated among the Lenders), and is evidenced by this Agreement and the Revolving Credit Notes, and the Revolving Credit Lenders shall as of the date hereof make such adjustments to the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of such Revolving Credit Lenders so that such outstanding Revolving Credit Loans are consistent with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages.  Any and all Revolving Credit Notes or Swing Loan Notes issued on the Closing Date in connection with this Agreement to Lenders holding Revolving Credit Notes or Swing Loan Notes issued under the Existing Credit Agreement replace and are in lieu of such Revolving Credit Notes or Swing Loan Notes issued under the Existing Credit Agreement and 
    50    

each Exiting Lender shall return its “Revolving Credit Note” to the Agent promptly after the Closing Date for cancellation.
§2.1Commitment to Lend Term Loan.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the Term Loan Lenders severally agrees to lend to the Borrower on the Closing Date a Term Loan in the maximum principal amount (after giving effect to all amounts requested) equal to the lesser of (i) such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment and (ii) such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment Percentage of the sum of (A) the Borrowing Base Availability minus (B) the sum of (1) the amount of all Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans and Swing Loans, and (2) the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities; provided, that, in all events no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and provided, further, that the outstanding principal amount (after giving effect to all amounts requested) of the Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans, Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not at any time (i) exceed the lesser of (A) Borrowing Base Availability and (B) the Total Commitment or (ii) cause a violation of the covenant set forth in §9.1.  The Term Loans shall be evidenced by the Term Loan Notes, dated as of even date with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in §2.11(c) and §18.3).  One Term Loan Note shall be payable to each Term Loan Lender in the principal amount equal to such Term Loan Lender’s Term Loan Commitment. Except for any additional Term Loans made as a result of any increase in the Total Term Loan Commitment pursuant to §2.11, the Borrower shall not have the right to draw down any Term Loans after the Closing Date.  Any additional Term Loans made as a result of any increase in the Total Term Loan Commitment pursuant to §2.11 shall be made on the applicable Commitment Increase Date and each Term Loan Lender which elects to increase its, or acquire, a Term Loan Commitment pursuant to §2.11 severally and not jointly agrees to make a Term Loan to the Borrower on such Commitment Increase Date in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) with respect to any existing Term Loan Lender, the amount by which such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment increases on the applicable Commitment Increase Date, and with respect to any new Term Loan Lender, the amount of such new Lender’s Term Loan Commitment, and (b) such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment Percentage of the maximum amount which, when added to the sum of (1) the amount of all Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans and Swing Loans, and (2) the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities would not (i) exceed the lesser of (A) the Borrowing Base Availability and (B) the Total Commitment or (ii) cause a violation of the covenant set forth in §9.1.  No Term Loan Lender shall have any obligation to make Term Loans to the Borrower in a maximum aggregate principal outstanding balance of more than the lesser of the amount equal to its Term Loan Commitment Percentage of the Term Loan Commitments and the principal face amount of its Term Loan Note.
§2.2Facility Unused Fee.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders (other than a Defaulting Lender for such period of time as such Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender) in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages a facility unused fee (the “Unused Fee”) calculated by multiplying the Unused Fee Percentage applicable to such day, calculated as a per diem rate, times the excess of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment over the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swing Loans.  The Unused Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first (1st) day of each calendar quarter for the immediately preceding calendar quarter or portion thereof, and on any earlier date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be reduced or shall terminate as provided in §2.4, with a final payment on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.  
§2.3Reduction and Termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments.  The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent to (a) reduce by $5,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000.00 in excess thereof (provided that in no event shall the Total Revolving Credit Commitment be reduced in such manner to an amount less than an amount equal to fifty percent 
    51    

(50%) of the highest Total Revolving Credit Commitment at any time existing under this Agreement) or (b) terminate entirely the Revolving Credit Commitments, whereupon the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be reduced pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages of the amount specified in such notice or, as the case may be, terminated, any such termination or reduction to be without penalty except as otherwise set forth in §4.7; provided, however, that no such termination or reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto, the sum of Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, the Outstanding Swing Loans and the Letter of Credit Liabilities would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders as so terminated or reduced.  Promptly after receiving any notice from the Borrower delivered pursuant to this §2.4, the Agent will notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of the substance thereof.  Any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall also result in a proportionate reduction (rounded to the next lowest integral multiple of $100,000.00) in the maximum amount of Letters of Credit and the Swing Loan Commitment shall automatically decrease by an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the applicable reduction of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment.  Upon the effective date of any such reduction or termination, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Revolving Credit Lenders the full amount of any facility fee under §2.3 then accrued on the amount of the reduction.  No reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments may be reinstated except (with respect to a reduction, but not a termination, of the Revolving Credit Commitments) pursuant to any increase in accordance with §2.11.
§2.4Swing Loan Commitment.  
(ak)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Swing Loan Lender agrees to lend to the Borrower (the “Swing Loans”), and the Borrower may borrow (and repay and reborrow) from time to time between the Closing Date and the date which is five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date upon notice by the Borrower to the Swing Loan Lender given in accordance with this §2.5, such sums as are requested by the Borrower for the purposes set forth in §2.9 in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not exceeding the Swing Loan Commitment; provided that in all events (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and (ii) the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans (after giving effect to all amounts requested) plus Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not at any time exceed the lesser of (A) the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and (B) the Borrowing Base Availability, or cause a violation of the covenant set forth in §9.1.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this §2.5, the Swing Loan Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Loan at a time when any other Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless the Swing Loan Lender is satisfied that the participation therein will otherwise be fully allocated to the Revolving Credit Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders consistent with §2.13(c) and the Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein, except to the extent the Swing Loan Lender has entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender that are satisfactory to the Swing Loan Lender in its good faith determination to eliminate the Swing Loan Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to any such Defaulting Lender, including the delivery of cash collateral.  Swing Loans shall constitute “Revolving Credit Loans” for all purposes hereunder.  The funding of a Swing Loan hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that all of the conditions set forth in §11 (and, in the case of any request for a Swing Loan hereunder on the Closing Date, §10) have been satisfied on the date of such funding.  The Swing Loan Lender may assume that the conditions in §§10 and 11 have been satisfied unless the Swing Loan Lender has received written notice from a Revolving Credit Lender that such conditions have not been satisfied.  Each Swing Loan shall be due and payable within five (5) Business Days of the date such Swing Loan was provided and the Borrower hereby agrees (to the extent not repaid as contemplated by §2.5(d)) to repay each Swing Loan on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days from the date such Swing Loan was provided.  A Swing Loan may not be refinanced with another Swing Loan.
    52    

(al)The Swing Loans shall be evidenced by a separate promissory note of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto (the “Swing Loan Note”), dated the date of this Agreement and completed with appropriate insertions.  The Swing Loan Note shall be payable to the order of the Swing Loan Lender in the principal face amount equal to the Swing Loan Commitment and shall be payable as set forth below.  The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Swing Loan Lender to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of the Drawdown Date of any Swing Loan or at the time of receipt of any payment of principal thereof, an appropriate notation on the Swing Loan Lender’s Record reflecting the making of such Swing Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment.  The outstanding amount of the Swing Loans set forth on the Swing Loan Lender’s Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to the Swing Loan Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on the Swing Loan Lender’s Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Swing Loan Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Swing Loan Note when due.  There shall not be deemed to have occurred, and there has not otherwise occurred, any payment, satisfaction or novation of the indebtedness, if any, evidenced by the “Swing Loan Note,” as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement, which indebtedness is instead evidenced by the Swing Loan Note.
(am)The Borrower shall request a Swing Loan by delivering to the Swing Loan Lender a Loan Request executed by an Authorized Officer no later than 11:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) on the requested Drawdown Date specifying the amount of the requested Swing Loan (which shall be in the Minimum Loan Amounts) and providing the wire instructions for the delivery of the Swing Loan proceeds.  The Loan Request shall also contain the statements and certifications required by §2.7.  Each such Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept such Swing Loan on the Drawdown Date.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Swing Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan and shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.  The proceeds of the Swing Loan will be disbursed by wire by the Swing Loan Lender to the Borrower no later than 1:00 p.m. (Cleveland time).
(an)The Swing Loan Lender shall, within five (5) Business Days after the Drawdown Date with respect to such Swing Loan, request each Revolving Credit Lender to make a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.1 in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of the Swing Loan outstanding on the date such notice is given.  In the event that the Borrower does not notify the Agent in writing otherwise on or before noon (Cleveland Time) on the Business Day of the Drawdown Date with respect to such Swing Loan, the Agent shall notify the Revolving Credit Lenders that such Revolving Credit Loan shall be a Term SOFR Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month, provided that the making of such Term SOFR Loan will not be in contravention of any other provision of this Agreement, or if the making of a Term SOFR Loan would be in contravention of this Agreement, then such notice shall indicate that such loan shall be a Base Rate Loan.  The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Swing Loan Lender to so act on its behalf, and agrees that any amount advanced to the Agent for the benefit of the Swing Loan Lender pursuant to this §2.5(d) shall be considered a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.1.  Unless any of the events described in §12.1(g), 12.1(h) or 12.1(i) shall have occurred (in which event the procedures of §2.5(e) shall apply), each Revolving Credit Lender shall make the proceeds of its Revolving Credit Loan available to the Swing Loan Lender for the account of the Swing Loan Lender at the Agent’s Head Office prior to 12:00 noon (Cleveland time) in funds immediately available no later than one (1) Business Day after the date such request was made by the Swing Loan Lender just as if the Revolving Credit Lenders were funding directly to the Borrower, so that thereafter such Obligations shall be evidenced by the Revolving Credit Notes.  The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loan shall be immediately applied to repay the Swing Loans.
    53    

(ao)If for any reason a Swing Loan cannot be refinanced by a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.5(d), each Revolving Credit Lender will, on the date such Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.5(d) was to have been made, purchase an undivided participation interest in the Swing Loan in an amount equal to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Swing Loan.  Each Revolving Credit Lender will immediately transfer to the Swing Loan Lender in immediately available funds the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Swing Loan Lender will deliver to such Revolving Credit Lender a Swing Loan participation certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount.
(ap)The Agent shall notify the Borrower of any Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to §2.5(d) or participations in any Swing Loan acquired pursuant to §2.5(e), and thereafter payments in respect of such Swing Loan shall be made to the Agent and not to the Swing Loan Lender.  Subject to §2.13, any amounts received by the Swing Loan Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swing Loan after receipt by the Swing Loan Lender of the proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to §2.5(d) with respect to such Swing Loan shall be remitted to the Agent, and be promptly remitted by the Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders that shall have made such Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to §2.5(d) and to the Swing Loan Lender, as their interests may appear; provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Loan Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Credit Lender will return to the Swing Loan Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Swing Loan Lender to it.  Subject to §2.13, if at any time after the Swing Loan Lender has received from any Revolving Credit Lender such Revolving Credit Lender’s participation interest in a Swing Loan, the Swing Loan Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swing Loan Lender will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its participation interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted in the case of interest payments to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Credit Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Loan Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Credit Lender will return to the Swing Loan Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Swing Loan Lender to it.
(aq)Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to fund a Revolving Credit Loan as provided in §2.5(d) or to purchase participation interests pursuant to §2.5(e) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (a) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Credit Lender or the Borrower may have against the Swing Loan Lender, the Borrower or anyone else for any reason whatsoever; (b) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default; (c) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of REIT or any of its Subsidiaries; (d) any breach of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by the Borrower or any Guarantor or any Lender; or (e) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.  Any portions of a Swing Loan not so purchased or converted may be treated by the Agent and the Swing Loan Lender as against such Revolving Credit Lender as a Revolving Credit Loan which was not funded by the non-purchasing Revolving Credit Lender, thereby making such Revolving Credit Lender a Defaulting Lender.  Each Swing Loan, once so sold or converted, shall cease to be a Swing Loan for the purposes of this Agreement, but shall be a Revolving Credit Loan made by each Revolving Credit Lender under its Revolving Credit Commitment.
§2.1Interest on Loans.  
(ar)Each Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the date on which such Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan is repaid or converted to a Revolving Credit Loan of another Type at the 
    54    

rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Base Rate Loans.  
(as)Each Revolving Credit Loan that is (X) a Daily Simple SOFR Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the date on which such Daily Simple SOFR Loan is repaid or is converted to a Revolving Credit Loan of another Type at the rate per annum equal to the sum of Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR plus the Applicable Margin for SOFR Rate Revolving Credit Loans, and (Y) a Term SOFR Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of each Interest Period with respect thereto at the rate per annum equal to the sum of Adjusted Term SOFR determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for SOFR Rate Revolving Credit Loans.
(at)Each Term Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the date on which such Term Base Rate Loan is repaid or is converted to a Loan of another Type at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Term Base Rate Loans.
(au)Each Term Loan that is (X) a Daily Simple SOFR Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the date on which such Daily Simple SOFR Loan is repaid or is converted to a Loan of another Type at the rate per annum equal to the sum of Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR plus the Applicable Margin for SOFR Rate Term Loans, and (Y) a Term SOFR Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of each Interest Period with respect thereto at the rate per annum equal to the sum of Adjusted Term SOFR determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for SOFR Rate Term Loans.  
(av)The Borrower promises to pay in Dollars interest on each Loan in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect thereto and, with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans, on any earlier date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate or be reduced as provided in §2.4.
(aw)Base Rate Loans and SOFR Rate Loans may be converted to Loans of the other Type as provided in §4.1.
§2.5Requests for Revolving Credit Loans.  Except with respect to the initial Revolving Credit Loan on the Closing Date, if any, the Borrower shall give to the Agent written notice executed by an Authorized Officer in the form of Exhibit E hereto (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing in the form of Exhibit E hereto) of each Revolving Credit Loan requested hereunder (a “Loan Request”) by 11:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to Revolving Credit Base Rate Loans and two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to SOFR Rate Revolving Credit Loans.  Each such notice shall specify with respect to the requested Revolving Credit Loan the proposed principal amount of such Revolving Credit Loan, the Type of Revolving Credit Loan, the initial Interest Period (if applicable) for such Revolving Credit Loan and the Drawdown Date.  Each such notice shall also contain (a) a general statement as to the purpose for which such advance shall be used (which purpose shall be in accordance with the terms of §2.9) and (b) a certification by the chief  executive officer, president or chief financial officer of the Borrower that the Borrower and Guarantors are and will be in compliance with all covenants under the Loan Documents after giving effect to the making of such Revolving Credit Loan.  Promptly upon receipt of any such notice, the Agent shall notify each of the Revolving Credit Lenders thereof.  Each such Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept the Revolving Credit Loan requested from the Revolving Credit Lenders on the proposed Drawdown Date.  Nothing herein shall prevent the Borrower 
    55    

from seeking recourse against any Revolving Credit Lender that fails to advance its proportionate share of a requested Revolving Credit Loan as required by this Agreement.  Each Loan Request shall be in the Minimum Loan Amounts; provided, however, that there shall be no more than eight (8) SOFR Rate Loans outstanding at any one time.
§2.6Funds for Loans.  
(ax)Not later than 1:00 p.m.  (Cleveland time) on the proposed Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans, each of the Revolving Credit Lenders or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, will make available to the Agent, at the Agent’s Head Office, in immediately available funds, the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of the requested Loans which may be disbursed pursuant to §2.1 or §2.2.  Upon receipt from each such Revolving Credit Lender or Term Loan Lender, as applicable, of such amount, and upon receipt of the documents required by §10 and §11 and the satisfaction of the other conditions set forth therein, to the extent applicable, the Agent will make available to the Borrower the aggregate amount of such Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans made available to the Agent by the Revolving Credit Lenders or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, by crediting such amount to the account of the Borrower maintained at the Agent’s Head Office.  The failure or refusal of any Revolving Credit Lender or Term Loan Lender to make available to the Agent at the aforesaid time and place on any Drawdown Date the amount of its Commitment Percentage of the requested Loans shall not relieve any other Revolving Credit Lender or Term Loan Lender from its several obligation hereunder to make available to the Agent the amount of such other Lender’s Commitment Percentage of any requested Loans, including any additional Revolving Credit Loans that may be requested subject to the terms and conditions hereof to provide funds to replace those not advanced by the Lender so failing or refusing.  
(ay)Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the applicable Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loans, or on the Closing Date or Commitment Increase Date (if applicable) with respect to any Term Loans, that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of a proposed Revolving Credit Loan or such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment Percentage of a proposed Term Loan, the Agent may in its discretion assume that such Lender has made such Loan(s) available to the Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Agent may, if it chooses, in reliance upon such assumption make such Loan available to the Borrower, and such Lender shall be liable to the Agent for the amount of such advance.  If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount upon the Agent’s demand therefor, the Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall promptly pay such corresponding amount to the Agent.  The Agent shall also be entitled to recover from the Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Agent at a per annum rate equal to (i) from the Borrower at the applicable rate for such Loan or (ii) from a Lender at the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus one percent (1%).
§2.2Use of Proceeds.  The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans solely for (a) payment of closing costs in connection with this Agreement, (b) repayment of Indebtedness, (c) acquisitions of fee simple ownership of Real Estate or Real Estate subject to a Ground Lease and other Investments permitted under the Loan Documents, and (d) general corporate and working capital purposes, including, without limitation, acquisitions, capital expenditures, distributions, joint ventures, note purchases and share repurchases undertaken in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
§2.3Letters of Credit.  
    56    

(az)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at any time and from time to time from the Closing Date through the day that is ninety (90) days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Issuing Lender shall issue such Letters of Credit as the Borrower may request upon the delivery of a written request in the form of Exhibit F hereto (a “Letter of Credit Request”) to the Issuing Lender, provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) upon issuance of such Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, (iii) in no event shall the sum of the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities (after giving effect to any requested Letters of Credit) exceed the lesser of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and the Borrowing Base Availability or cause a violation of the covenant set forth in §9.1, (iv) the conditions set forth in §11 (and, in connection with any request for the issuance of any Letters of Credit on the Closing Date, §10) shall have been satisfied, and (v) in no event shall any amount drawn under a Letter of Credit be available for reinstatement or a subsequent drawing under such Letter of Credit.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this §2.10, the Issuing Lender shall not be obligated to issue, amend, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit at a time when any other Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless the Issuing Lender is satisfied that the participation therein will otherwise be fully allocated to the Revolving Credit Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders consistent with §2.13(c) and the Defaulting Lender shall have no participation therein, except to the extent the Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender which are satisfactory to the Issuing Lender in its good faith determination to eliminate the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to any such Defaulting Lender, including the delivery of cash collateral.  The Issuing Lender may assume that the conditions in §§10 and 11 have been satisfied unless it receives written notice from a Revolving Credit Lender that such conditions have not been satisfied.  Each Letter of Credit Request shall be executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower.  The Issuing Lender shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Person’s authority to request a Letter of Credit on behalf of the Borrower.  The Issuing Lender shall have no duty to verify the authenticity of any signature appearing on a Letter of Credit Request.  The Borrower assumes all risks with respect to the use of the Letters of Credit.  Unless the Issuing Lender and the Required Revolving Credit Lenders otherwise consent, the term of any Letter of Credit shall not exceed a period of time commencing on the issuance of the Letter of Credit and ending one year after the date of issuance thereof, subject to extension pursuant to an “evergreen” clause acceptable to the Agent and the Issuing Lender (but in any event the term shall not extend beyond five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date).  The amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit shall reduce on a dollar-for-dollar basis the amount available to be drawn under the Total Revolving Credit Commitment as a Revolving Credit Loan.  
(ba)Each Letter of Credit Request shall be submitted to the Issuing Lender at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as the Issuing Lender may approve) prior to the date upon which the requested Letter of Credit is to be issued.  Each such Letter of Credit Request shall contain (i) a statement as to the purpose for which such Letter of Credit shall be used (which purpose shall be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), and (ii) a certification by the chief financial officer of the Borrower that the Borrower and Guarantors are and will be in compliance with all covenants under the Loan Documents after giving effect to the issuance of such Letter of Credit.  The Borrower shall further deliver to the Issuing Lender such additional applications (which application as of the date hereof is in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto) and documents as the Issuing Lender may require, in conformity with the then standard practices of its letter of credit department, in connection with the issuance of such Letter of Credit; provided that in the event of any conflict between the terms of any such additional application(s) and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
(bb)The Issuing Lender shall, subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, issue the Letter of Credit on or before five (5) Business Days following receipt of the 
    57    

documents last due pursuant to §2.10(b).  Each Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender in its reasonable discretion.
(bc)Upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have purchased a participation therein from the Issuing Lender in an amount equal to its respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit.  No Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to participate in a Letter of Credit shall be affected by any other Revolving Credit Lender’s failure to perform as required herein with respect to such Letter of Credit or any other Letter of Credit.
(bd)Upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender (i) for its own account, a Letter of Credit fronting fee calculated at the rate equal to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) of the face amount of such Letter of Credit (which fee shall not be less than $1,500 in any event) and an administrative charge of $250, and (ii) for the accounts of the Revolving Credit Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders (including the Issuing Lender) in accordance with their respective percentage shares of participation in such Letter of Credit, a Letter of Credit fee calculated at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin then applicable to SOFR Rate Revolving Credit Loans on the face amount of such Letter of Credit.  Such fees shall be payable in quarterly installments in arrears with respect to each Letter of Credit on the first day of each calendar quarter following the date of issuance and continuing on each quarter or portion thereof thereafter, as applicable, or on any earlier date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate and on the expiration or return of any Letter of Credit.  In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender for its own account within five (5) days of demand of the Issuing Lender the standard issuance, documentation and service charges for Letters of Credit issued from time to time by the Issuing Lender.
(be)In the event that any amount is drawn under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender by having such amount drawn treated as an outstanding Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan under this Agreement (the Borrower being deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan on such date in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and such amount drawn shall be treated as an outstanding Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan under this Agreement) and the Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender by telecopy, email, telephone (confirmed in writing) or other similar means of transmission, and each Revolving Credit Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Agent, for the Issuing Lender’s own account, an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Letter of Credit (to the extent of the amount drawn).  If and to the extent any Revolving Credit Lender shall not make such amount available on the Business Day on which such draw is funded, such Revolving Credit Lender agrees to pay such amount to the Agent forthwith on demand, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date on which such draw was funded until the date on which such amount is paid to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate until three (3) days after the date on which the Agent gives notice of such draw and at the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus one percent (1%) for each day thereafter.  Further, such Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Revolving Credit Loans, amounts due with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit and any other amounts due to it hereunder to the Agent to fund the amount of any drawn Letter of Credit which such Revolving Credit Lender was required to fund pursuant to this §2.10(f) until such amount has been funded (as a result of such assignment or otherwise).  In the event of any such failure or refusal, the Revolving Credit Lenders not so failing or refusing shall be entitled to a priority secured position for such amounts as provided in §12.5.  The failure of any Revolving Credit Lender to make funds available to the Agent in such amount shall not relieve any other Revolving Credit Lender of its obligation hereunder to make funds available to the Agent pursuant to this §2.10(f).
    58    

(bf)If after the issuance of a Letter of Credit pursuant to §2.10(c) by the Issuing Lender, but prior to the funding of any portion thereof by a Revolving Credit Lender, for any reason a drawing under a Letter of Credit cannot be refinanced as a Revolving Credit Loan, each Revolving Credit Lender will, on the date such Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.10(f) was to have been made, purchase an undivided participation interest in the Letter of Credit in an amount equal to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit.  Each Revolving Credit Lender will immediately transfer to the Issuing Lender in immediately available funds the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Issuing Lender will deliver to such Revolving Credit Lender a Letter of Credit participation certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount.  
(bg)Whenever at any time after the Issuing Lender has received from any Revolving Credit Lender any such Revolving Credit Lender’s payment of funds under a Letter of Credit and thereafter the Issuing Lender receives any payment on account thereof, then the Issuing Lender will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its participation interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted in the case of interest payments to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Credit Lender’s participation interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Issuing Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Credit Lender will return to the Issuing Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it.
(bh)The issuance of any supplement, modification, amendment, renewal or extension to or of any Letter of Credit shall be treated in all respects the same as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit.
(bi)The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts, omissions, or misuse of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof.  Neither the Agent, the Issuing Lender nor any Lender will be responsible for (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Letter of Credit or any document submitted by any party in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if such document should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with the conditions required in order to demand payment under a Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document or draft required by or from a beneficiary in order to make a disbursement under a Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; and (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Agent or any Lender.  None of the foregoing will affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the rights or powers granted to the Agent, the Issuing Lender or the Lenders hereunder.  In furtherance and extension and not in limitation or derogation of any of the foregoing, any act taken or omitted to be taken by the Agent, the Issuing Lender or the other Lenders in good faith will be binding on the Borrower and will not put the Agent, the Issuing Lender or the other Lenders under any resulting liability to the Borrower; provided nothing contained herein shall relieve the Issuing Lender for liability to the Borrower arising as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
§2.7Increase in Total Commitment.  
    59    

(bj)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this §2.11, the Borrower shall have the option at any time and from time to time before the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (as the same may be extended pursuant to §2.12 below) or the Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable, to request an increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and/or the Total Term Loan Credit Commitment by giving written notice to the Agent (an “Increase Notice”; and the amount of such requested increase is the “Commitment Increase”), provided that any such individual increase must be in a minimum amount of $20,000,000.00 and increments of $5,000,000.00 in excess thereof, and the Total Commitment shall not exceed $1,000,000,000.00.  Upon receipt of any Increase Notice, the Agent shall consult with KCM and shall notify the Borrower of the amount of the facility fees to be paid to any Lenders who provide an additional Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, in connection with such increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, pursuant to the Agreement Regarding Fees. If the Borrower agrees to pay the facility fees so determined (and/or such other fees as may be agreed to by the Borrower and the Agent), the Agent shall send a notice to all Revolving Credit Lenders and/or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable (the “Additional Commitment Request Notice”) informing them of the Borrower’s request to increase the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and/or the Total Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, and of the facility fees to be paid with respect thereto.  Each Revolving Credit Lender and/or Term Loan Lender, as applicable, who desires to provide an additional Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, upon such terms shall provide the Agent with a written commitment letter specifying the amount of such additional Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, which it is willing to provide prior to such deadline as may be specified in the Additional Commitment Request Notice.  If the requested increase is oversubscribed then the Agent and KCM shall allocate the Commitment Increase among the Revolving Credit Lenders and/or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, who provide such commitment letters on such basis as the Agent and KCM, shall determine following consultation with the Borrower.  If the additional Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Term Loan Commitments, as applicable, so provided are not sufficient to provide the full amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase and/or the Term Loan Commitment Increase, as applicable, that is requested by the Borrower, then the Agent, KCM, or the Borrower may, but shall not be obligated to, invite one or more banks or lending institutions (which banks or lending institutions shall be reasonably acceptable to the Agent, KCM, and the Borrower) to become a Revolving Credit Lender and/or Term Loan Lender, as applicable, and provide an additional Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable.  The Agent shall provide all Revolving Credit Lenders and/or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, with a notice setting forth the amount, if any, of the additional Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, to be provided by each Revolving Credit Lender and/or Term Loan Lender, as applicable, and the revised Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages and/or Term Loan Commitment Percentages, as applicable, which shall be applicable after the effective date of the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase and/or Term Loan Commitment Increase, as applicable, specified therein (each, a “Commitment Increase Date”).  In no event shall any Lender be obligated to provide an additional Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment.
(bk)On any Commitment Increase Date the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit  Loans shall be reallocated among the Revolving Credit Lenders such that after the applicable Commitment Increase Date the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans owed to each Revolving Credit Lender shall be equal to such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage (as in effect after the applicable Commitment Increase Date) of the outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans.  The participation interests of the Revolving Credit Lenders in Swing Loans and Letters of Credit shall be similarly adjusted.  On any Commitment Increase Date, those Revolving Credit Lenders whose Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage is increasing shall advance the funds to the Agent and the funds so advanced shall be distributed among the Revolving Credit Lenders whose Revolving Credit 
    60    

Commitment Percentage is decreasing as necessary to accomplish the required reallocation of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans.  To the extent such reallocation results in certain Lenders receiving funds which are applied to Term SOFR Loans prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period, then the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the affected Lenders the Breakage Costs for each such Lender (provided that the parties agree to attempt to coordinate the closing of any increase of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or Total Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, to minimize Breakage Costs that may come due); provided, however, each Lender agrees to apply any amounts received by them pursuant to this §2.11(b) first to the principal of any Base Rate Loans held by such Lender, second to the principal of any Daily Simple SOFR Loans held by such Lender, and third to the principal of Term SOFR Loans held by such Lender.
(bl)Upon the effective date of each increase in the Total Commitment pursuant to this §2.11, (i) the Agent may unilaterally revise Schedule 1.1 to reflect the name and address, Commitment and Commitment Percentage of each Lender following such increase and the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Agent new Revolving Credit Notes or Term Loan Notes, as applicable, for each Lender whose Commitment has changed so that the principal amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Note or Term Loan Note, as applicable, shall equal its Commitment.  The Agent shall deliver such replacement Revolving Credit Note and/or Term Loan Note, as applicable, to the respective Lenders in exchange for the Revolving Credit Notes and/or Term Loan Notes replaced thereby which shall be surrendered by such Lenders.  Such new Revolving Credit Notes and/or Term Loan Notes, as applicable, shall provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Revolving Credit Notes and/or Term Loan Notes, as applicable, and that they do not constitute a novation, shall be dated as of the applicable Commitment Increase Date and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the replaced Revolving Credit Notes or Term Loan Notes, as applicable.  In connection with the issuance of any new Revolving Credit Notes and/or Term Loan Notes, as applicable, pursuant to this §2.11(c), the Borrower shall deliver an opinion of counsel, addressed to the Lenders and the Agent, relating to the due authorization, execution and delivery of such new Revolving Credit Notes and/or Term Loan Notes, as applicable, and the enforceability thereof, in form and substance substantially similar to the opinion delivered in connection with the first disbursement under this Agreement.  The surrendered Revolving Credit Notes and/or Term Loan Notes, as applicable, shall be canceled and returned to the Borrower.
(bm)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the obligation of the Agent and the Revolving Credit Lenders to increase the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, and/or the Agent and the Term Loan Lenders to increase the Total Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, pursuant to this §2.11 shall be conditioned upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent which must be satisfied prior to the effectiveness of any increase of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or the Total Term Loan Commitment, as applicable:
(i)Payment of Activation Fee.  The Borrower shall pay (A) to the Agent and KCM certain arrangement and other fees with respect to the applicable Commitment Increase pursuant to a separate agreement to be entered into among the Borrower, the Agent and KCM prior to the applicable Commitment Increase Date, and (B) to KCM such facility fees as the Revolving Credit Lenders or Term Loan Lenders who are providing an additional Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, may require to increase the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, which fees shall, when paid, be fully earned and non-refundable under any circumstances.  KCM shall pay to the Lenders acquiring the applicable Commitment Increase certain fees pursuant to their separate agreement; and
    61    

(ii)No Default.  On the date any such increase becomes effective, both immediately before and after the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or Total Term Loan Commitment is increased, there shall exist no Default or Event of Default; and
(iii)Representations True.  The representations and warranties made by the Borrower, the Guarantors and the Approved JVs in the Loan Documents or otherwise made by or on behalf of such Persons in connection therewith or after the date thereof shall have been true and correct in all material respects when made and shall also be true and correct in all material respects on the date of such Increase Notice and on the date the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or Total Term Loan Commitment is increased (although any representations and warranties which expressly relate to a given date or period shall be required only to be true and correct in all material respects as of the respective date or for the respective period, as the case may be) (in each case, without duplication of any materiality qualifier contained therein), both immediately before and after the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or Total Term Loan Commitment is increased; and  
(iv)Beneficial Ownership Certification.  If requested by the Agent or any Lender, the Borrower shall have delivered, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Commitment Increase Date, to the Agent (and any such Lender) a completed and executed Beneficial Ownership Certification; and
(v)Additional Documents and Expenses.  The Borrower, the Guarantors and the Approved JVs shall execute and deliver to the Agent and the Lenders such additional documents (including, without limitation, amendments to the Security Documents (if applicable)), instruments, certifications and opinions as the Agent may reasonably require (including, without limitation, in the case of the Borrower, a Compliance Certificate, demonstrating compliance with all covenants, representations and warranties set forth in the Loan Documents after giving effect to the increase) and the Borrower shall pay the cost of any updated UCC searches, all recording and filing costs and fees, and any and all intangible taxes or other documentary taxes, assessments or charges or any similar fees, taxes or expenses which are incurred by the Agent, KCM or the Lenders in connection with such increase.
§2.2Extension of Revolving Credit Maturity Date.  
(bn)The Borrower shall have the one-time right and option to extend the Revolving Credit Maturity Date in respect of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or portion thereof in accordance with §2.4 (as determined by the Borrower in its sole discretion) to March 13, 2024, upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent, which must be satisfied prior to the effectiveness of any extension of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date:
(vi)Extension Request.  The Borrower shall deliver written notice of such request to extend the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (the “Extension Request”) to the Agent not earlier than the date which is one hundred twenty (120) days and not later than the date which is thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (as determined without regard to such extension) and which notice shall specify the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments the Borrower elects to so extend (provided that any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in accordance with §2.4).
(vii)Payment of Extension Fee.  The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the pro rata accounts of the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments an extension fee in an amount equal to fifteen (15) basis points on the Total Revolving Credit Commitment in effect on the date of such extension or on the portion thereof to be extended pursuant to the Extension Request, which fee shall, when paid, be fully earned and non-refundable under any circumstances.
    62    

(viii)No Default.  On the date of such extension, there shall exist no Default or Event of Default.
(ix)Beneficial Ownership Certification.  If requested by the Agent or any Lender, the Borrower shall have delivered, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date of such extension, to the Agent (and any such Lender) a completed and executed Beneficial Ownership Certification.
(x)Representations and Warranties.  The representations and warranties made by the Borrower, the Guarantors and the Approved JVs in the Loan Documents or otherwise made by or on behalf of such Persons in connection therewith or after the date thereof shall have been true and correct in all material respects when made and shall also be true and correct in all material respects on the date of such extension (although any representations and warranties which expressly relate to a given date or period shall be required only to be true and correct in all material respects as of the respective date or for the respective period, as the case may be) (in each case, without duplication of any materiality qualifier contained therein).  
Such extension of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date shall become effective on the day that all the conditions in this §2.12 with respect to such Extension Request are satisfied (which may be prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date), provided that such conditions must be satisfied within the time period provided in each such condition, and, in any event, on or prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (as determined without regard to such extension).  
§2.8 Defaulting Lenders.  
(bo)If for any reason any Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the Agent or the Borrower under this Agreement or Applicable Law, such Defaulting Lender’s right to participate in the administration of the Loans, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation, any right to vote in respect of, to consent to or to direct any action or inaction of the Agent or to be taken into account in the calculation of the Majority Lenders, Required Revolving Credit Lenders, Required Term Loan Lenders or all of the Lenders, shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal.  If a Lender is a Defaulting Lender because it has failed to make timely payment to the Agent of any amount required to be paid to the Agent hereunder (without giving effect to any notice or cure periods), in addition to other rights and remedies which the Agent or the Borrower may have under the immediately preceding provisions or otherwise, the Agent shall be entitled (i) to collect interest from such Defaulting Lender on such delinquent payment for the period from the date on which the payment was due until the date on which the payment is made at the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus one percent (1%), (ii) to withhold or setoff and to apply in satisfaction of the defaulted payment and any related interest, any amounts otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (iii) to bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest.  Any amounts received by the Agent in respect of a Defaulting Lender’s Loans shall be applied as set forth in §2.13(d).
(bp)Any Non-Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated, in its sole discretion, to acquire all or a portion of a Defaulting Lender’s Commitments.  Any Lender desiring to exercise such right shall give written notice thereof to the Agent and the Borrower no sooner than two (2) Business Days and not later than five (5) Business Days after such Defaulting Lender became a Defaulting Lender.  If more than one Lender exercises such right, each such Lender shall have the right to acquire an amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitments in proportion to the Commitments of the other Lenders exercising such right.  If after such fifth Business Day, the Lenders have not elected to purchase all of the Commitments 
    63    

of such Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists) or the Majority Lenders may, by giving written notice thereof to the Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, demand that such Defaulting Lender assign its Commitments to an eligible assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of §18.1 for the purchase price provided for below.  No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an eligible assignee.  Upon any such purchase or assignment, and any such demand with respect to which the conditions specified in §18.1 have been satisfied, the Defaulting Lender’s interest in the Loans and its rights hereunder (but not its liability in respect thereof or under the Loan Documents or this Agreement to the extent the same relate to the period prior to the effective date of the purchase) shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser or assignee thereof, including an appropriate Assignment and Acceptance Agreement.  If such Defaulting Lender does not execute and deliver to the Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and/or such other documentation reasonably requested by the Agent to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser or assignee thereof within a period of time deemed reasonable by the Agent after the later of (i) the date on which such purchaser or assignee executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and/or such other documentation and (ii) the date on which the Defaulting Lender receives all payments required to be paid to it by this §2.13(b), then such Defaulting Lender shall, to the extent permissible by Applicable Law, be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and/or such other documentation as of such date and the Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Defaulting Lender. The purchase price for the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender shall be equal to the amount of the principal balance of the Loans outstanding and owed by the Borrower to the Defaulting Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon (but not on accrued and unpaid fees).  Prior to payment of such purchase price to a Defaulting Lender, the Agent shall apply against such purchase price any amounts retained by the Agent pursuant to §2.13(d).
(bq)During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, all or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s obligation to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to §2.10(g) or Swing Loans pursuant to §2.5(e) shall be reallocated among the Revolving Credit Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (computed without giving effect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender); provided that (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the time of such reallocation, the conditions set forth in §§10 and 11, as applicable, are satisfied or waived in writing (and, unless the Borrower shall have notified the Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at the time), and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each Revolving Credit Lender  that is a Non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (A) the Revolving Credit Commitment of that Non-Defaulting Lender minus (B) the sum of (1) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of that Lender plus (2) such Lender’s pro rata portion in accordance with its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swing Loans.  Subject to §34, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(br)Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Agent for the account of such 
    64    

Defaulting Lender pursuant to §13), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows:  first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent (other than with respect to Letter of Credit Liabilities) hereunder; second, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender (with respect to Letter of Credit Liabilities) and/or the Swing Loan Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Agent or requested by the Issuing Lender or the Swing Loan Lender, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit or Swing Loan; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans or participations under this Agreement and (y) be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit or Swing Loan; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Agent or the Lenders (including the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender) as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Agent or any Lender (including the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender) against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (i) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans or funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (ii) such Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans or funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in §§10 and 11, to the extent required by this Agreement, were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans of, and funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis until such time as all Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans are held by the Revolving Credit Lenders and Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, pro rata in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages or Term Loan Commitment Percentages, as applicable, without regard to §2.13(c), prior to being applied to the payment of any Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans of, or funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans owed to, such Defaulting Lender.  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this §2.13(d) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto, and to the extent allocated to the repayment of principal of the Loans, shall not be considered outstanding principal under this Agreement.
(bs)If the reallocation described in clause (c) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, within five (5) Business Days of demand by the Issuing Lender or the Swing Loan Lender from time to time, the Borrower shall first, prepay Swing Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Loan Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and, second, deliver to the Agent for the benefit of the Issuing Lender, cash collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure with respect to the Issuing Lender (after giving effect to §§2.5(a), 2.10(a) and 2.13(c)) on terms satisfactory to the Issuing Lender in its good faith determination (and such cash collateral shall be in Dollars).  Any such cash collateral shall be deposited in the Collateral Account as collateral (solely for the benefit of the Issuing Lender) for the payment and performance of each Defaulting Lender’s pro rata portion in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages of outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities.  Moneys 
    65    

in the Collateral Account deposited pursuant to this §2.13(e) shall be applied by the Agent to reimburse the Issuing Lender immediately for each Defaulting Lender’s pro rata portion in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages of any funding obligation with respect to a Letter of Credit which has not otherwise been reimbursed by the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender.
(bt)(i)    Each Revolving Credit Lender that is a Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Unused Fee pursuant to §2.3 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender.
(xi)Each Revolving Credit Lender that is a Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive Letter of Credit fees pursuant to §2.10(e) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender.
(xii)With respect to any Unused Fee or Letter of Credit fees not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Credit Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities or Swing Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to §2.13(c), (y) pay to the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the Issuing Lender’s or the Swing Loan Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender and (z) not be required to pay any remaining amount of any such fee.
(bu)If the Borrower (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists) and the Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Credit Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans, or Term Loans, as applicable, to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitments or Term Loan Commitments, as the case may be (without giving effect to §2.13(c)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
§2.4Evidence of Debt.  The indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from the Loans made by each Lender from time to time shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and the Agent in the ordinary course of business, including, without limitation, the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.  The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent and the Lenders to make, or cause to be made, at or about the time of the Drawdown Date of any Loan or at the time of receipt of any payment thereof, an appropriate notation on the Agent’s and the Lender’s records reflecting the making of such Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment.  The Agent shall maintain accounts or records in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record:  (i) the date and the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type of such Loan, and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender 
    66    

hereunder, and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.  The accounts or records maintained by the Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations recorded therein and shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon.  Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes, if any, to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.  The Borrower agrees that upon the request of any Lender made through the Agent (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise), the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Agent) a Revolving Credit Note, a Term Loan Note and/or a Swing Loan Note, as applicable, payable to the order of such Lender, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records.  Each Lender may attach schedules to its Notes and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.  All references to Notes in the Loan Documents shall mean Notes, if any, to the extent issued hereunder.  
§3.REPAYMENT OF THE LOANS.
§3.1Stated Maturity.  
(bv)The Borrower promises to pay on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date all of the Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Loans and other Letter of Credit Liabilities Outstanding on such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.  
(bw)The Borrower promises to pay on the Term Loan Maturity Date and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date all of the Term Loans Outstanding on such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.  The principal amount of the Term Loans shall not amortize prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date.
§3.2Mandatory Prepayments.  
(bx)If at any time (i) the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, the Swing Loans and the Letter of Credit Liabilities exceeds the lesser of (x) Total Revolving Credit Commitment, or (y) the Borrowing Base Availability minus the principal amount of the Outstanding Term Loans, or (ii) the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, the Term Loans, the Swing Loans and the Letter of Credit Liabilities exceeds the lesser of (x) the Total Commitment and (y) the Borrowing Base Availability, then the Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days of such occurrence pay the amount of such excess to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Revolving Credit Lenders (in the case of clause (i)(x)) or all of the Lenders (in the case of clauses (i)(y) and (ii)), as applicable, for application to the Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans as provided in §3.4, together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to §4.7, and deposit in the Collateral Account and pledge to the Agent cash in any additional amount necessary to secure the Outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities, except that the amount of any Swing Loans shall be paid solely to the Swing Loan Lender. 
(by)Upon the occurrence of any and all capital events by REIT, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, all asset sales, refinancings and financings (secured, unsecured or otherwise), recapitalizations, equity issuances and other similar capital transactions consummated by REIT, the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the borrowing or issuance of any Loan or Letter of Credit or 
    67    

other capital event occurring under the Loan Documents), during the period commencing on the Second Amendment Date and ending on the first (1st) day of the Distributions Covenant Commencement Quarter (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Distribution Trigger Conditions have been satisfied with respect to such fiscal quarter), the Borrower shall, within two (2) Business Days after the receipt of net cash proceeds by REIT, the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof from such capital event, prepay the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) one hundred percent (100%) of the net cash proceeds of each such capital event and (y) the outstanding principal balance of Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on the date of such prepayment; provided, further, that Borrower shall, to the extent feasible, give at least one (1) Business Days’ prior written notice to Agent of the expected date of each such capital event.  For the purposes of this §3.2(b), net cash proceeds shall be an amount equal to the gross cash proceeds of such capital event, less the amount of all usual and customary closing costs and other out of pocket costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with such capital event, all amounts required to repay in full in cash any Indebtedness (if any) being repaid or refinanced in connection with such capital event, all taxes paid or reasonably expected to be paid in connection therewith, and any amounts attributable to Unconsolidated Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, prepayments made by Borrower pursuant to this §3.2(b) shall be applied first, pro rata to the principal of any Outstanding Swing Loans, second, pro rata to the principal of any Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans (and with respect to each category of Revolving Credit Loans, first, pro rata to the principal of Revolving Credit Base Rate Loans, second, pro rata to the principal of SOFR Rate Revolving Credit Loans bearing interest with reference to Daily Simple SOFR, and then third, pro rata to the principal of SOFR Rate Revolving Credit Loans bearing interest with reference to Term SOFR), and third, to cash collateralize any outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities on a pro rata basis, in each case without any reduction in Revolving Credit Commitments.
§3.1Optional Prepayments.  
(bz)The Borrower shall have the right, at its election, to prepay the outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans and Swing Loans, as a whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium; provided, that if any prepayment of the outstanding amount of any Term SOFR Loans pursuant to this §3.3 is made on a date that is not the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, such prepayment shall be accompanied by the payment of any amounts due pursuant to §4.7.  
(ca)The Borrower shall give the Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) at least three (3) days’ prior written notice of any prepayment pursuant to this §3.3, in each case specifying the proposed date of prepayment of the Loans and the principal amount to be prepaid (provided that any such notice may be revoked or modified upon one (1) day’s prior notice to the Agent); provided, however, that the Agent may reduce the required time period for such notice requirement to any shorter period reasonably acceptable to the Agent in connection with a prepayment of the Loans made by the Borrower for purposes of curing any failure to comply with the terms of §§9.1, 9.2 or 9.7 pursuant to §12.2(a)(iv).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prior notice shall be required for the prepayment of any Swing Loan.
§3.3Partial Prepayments.  Each partial prepayment of the Loans under §3.3 shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 in excess thereof, shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest on the principal prepaid to the date of payment. Each partial payment under §3.2 shall be applied, first, pro rata to the principal of any Outstanding Swing Loans, second, pro rata to the principal of any Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans (and with respect to each category of Revolving Credit Loans, first, pro rata to the principal of Revolving Credit Base Rate Loans, second, pro rata to the principal of SOFR Rate Revolving Credit Loans bearing interest with reference to Daily Simple SOFR, and then third, 
    68

Each partial prepayment under §3.3 shall be applied, first, pro rata to the principal of any Outstanding Swing Loans, then, in the absence of instruction by the Borrower, second, pro rata to the principal of any Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, third, to cash collateralize any outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities on a pro rata basis, and, fourth, pro rata to the principal of any Outstanding Term Loans (and with respect to each category of Loans, first, pro rata to the principal of Base Rate Loans, second, pro rata to the principal of SOFR Rate Loans bearing interest with reference to Daily Simple SOFR, and third, pro rata to the principal of SOFR Rate Loans bearing interest with reference to Term SOFR).

(cb)The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert any of its outstanding Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans to a Revolving Credit Loan or Term Loan, respectively, of another Type and such Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans shall thereafter bear interest as a Base Rate Loan or a SOFR Rate Loan, as applicable; provided that (i) with respect to any such conversion of a SOFR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan or, if applicable, any such conversion of a SOFR Rate Loan that is a Term SOFR Loan to a Daily Simple SOFR Loan, the Borrower shall give the Agent a Conversion/Continuation Request with respect to such election at least one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of such conversion, and such conversion shall only be made on (X) the last day of the Interest Period with respect to any such SOFR Rate Loan that is a Term SOFR Loan, or (Y) the applicable Interest Payment Date with respect to any such SOFR Rate Loan that is a Daily Simple SOFR Loan, and, in each case after giving effect to the making of such Loan, there shall be no more than eight (8) SOFR Rate Loans; (ii) with respect to any such conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a SOFR Rate Loan of any Type or, if applicable, any such conversion of a SOFR Rate Loan that is a Daily Simple SOFR Loan to a Term SOFR Loan (provided, that, such conversion shall only be made on the applicable Interest Payment Date with respect to such Daily Simple SOFR Loan), the Borrower shall give the Agent a Conversion/Continuation Request with respect to such election at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of such conversion, the principal amount of the Loan so converted shall be in a Minimum Loan Amount and, after giving effect to the making of such Loan, there shall be no more than eight (8) SOFR Rate Loans outstanding at any one time; and (iii) no Loan may be converted into a SOFR Rate Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  All or any part of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans of any Type may be converted as provided herein, provided that no partial conversion shall result in a Base Rate Loan in a principal amount of less than the Minimum Loan Amount.  On the date on which such conversion is being made, each Lender shall take such action as is necessary to transfer its Commitment Percentage of such Loans to its Applicable Lending Office, as the case may be.  Each Conversion/Continuation Request relating to the conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a SOFR Rate Loan shall be irrevocable by the Borrower.
    69    

(cc)Any SOFR Rate Loan may be continued as such Type upon the expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto (for a Term SOFR Loan) or following the Interest Payment Date with respect thereto (for a Daily Simple SOFR Loan) by compliance by the Borrower with the terms of §4.1; provided that no SOFR Rate Loan may be continued as such when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto ending during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default (for a Term SOFR Loan) or on the next Interest Payment Date occurring during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default (for a Daily Simple SOFR Loan).
(cd)In the event that the Borrower does not notify the Agent of its election hereunder with respect to (i) any Term SOFR Loan, such Loan shall be automatically continued at the end of the applicable Interest Period as a Term SOFR Loan with an Interest Period of one month, or (ii) any Daily Simple SOFR Loan, such Loan shall be automatically continued as a Daily Simple SOFR Loan, provided, in each case, that no circumstance exists which would preclude the Borrower from obtaining such Type of Loan, or if the Borrower would be precluded from obtaining such Type of Loan, it shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan at the end of the applicable Interest Period (for a Term SOFR Loan) or on the next Interest Payment Date (for a Daily Simple SOFR Loan).
§4.2Fees.  The Borrower agrees to pay to KeyBank, the Agent and KCM for their own account certain fees for services rendered or to be rendered in connection with the Loans as provided pursuant to that certain fee letter dated December 20, 2018 among the Borrower, KeyBank, and KCM (as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented, restated or replaced, the “Agreement Regarding Fees”).  All such fees shall be fully earned when paid and nonrefundable under any circumstances. 
§4.3Funds for Payments.  
(ce)All payments of principal, interest, facility fees, Letter of Credit fees, closing fees and any other amounts due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made to the Agent, for the respective accounts of the Lenders and the Agent, as the case may be, at the Agent’s Head Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the day when due, in each case in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds.  The Agent is hereby authorized to charge the accounts of the Borrower with KeyBank set forth on Schedule 4.3, on the dates when the amount thereof shall become due and payable, with the amounts of the principal of and interest on the Loans and all fees, charges, expenses and other amounts owing to the Agent and/or the Lenders (including the Swing Loan Lender) under the Loan Documents.  Subject to the foregoing, all payments made to the Agent on behalf of the Lenders, and actually received by the Agent, shall be deemed received by the Lenders on the date actually received by the Agent.
(cf)All payments by the Borrower hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim, and free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower or other applicable Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this §4.3) the applicable Recipient 
    70    

receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(cg)The Borrower and the Guarantors shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(ch)The Borrower and the Guarantors shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this §4.3) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that the determinations in such statement are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.
(ci)Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower or a Guarantor has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower and the Guarantors to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of §18.4 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this subsection.
(cj)As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or any Guarantor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this §4.3, the Borrower or such Guarantor shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.
(ck)(i)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in the immediately following clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
    71    

(xiii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person:
(A)any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; 
(B)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 
(1)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 
(1)an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8ECI; 
(2)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or 
(3)to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-2 or Exhibit L-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 
(A)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Agent) of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such 
    72    

supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 
(B)if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(cl)If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this §4.3 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this §4.3), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this §4.3 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund has not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it reasonably deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(cm)Each party’s obligations under this §4.3 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
(cn)The obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit (and of the Revolving Credit Lenders to make payments to the Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit and to the Swing Loan Lender with respect to Swing Loans) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any of the other Loan Documents; 
    73    

(ii) any improper use which may be made of any Letter of Credit or any improper acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit in connection therewith; (iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or any right which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting) or the Lenders (other than the defense of payment to the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or any other person, whether in connection with any Letter of Credit, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any unrelated transaction; (iv) any draft, demand, certificate, statement or any other documents presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be insufficient, forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (v) any breach of any agreement between the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates and any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit; (vi) any irregularity in the transaction with respect to which any Letter of Credit is issued, including any fraud by the beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit; (vii) payment by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a sight draft, demand, certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, provided that such payment shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of court of competent jurisdiction; (viii) any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of the proceeds of such Letter of Credit; (ix) the legality, validity, form, regularity or enforceability of the Letter of Credit; (x) the failure of any payment by the Issuing Lender to conform to the terms of a Letter of Credit (if, in the Issuing Lender’s good faith judgment, such payment is determined to be appropriate); (xi) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; (xii) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; and (xiii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, provided that such circumstance or happening under this clause (xiii) shall not have occurred as a result of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
§4.1Computations.  All computations of interest on the Base Rate Loans to the extent applicable shall be based on a three hundred sixty-five (365) or, in the event of a leap year, three hundred sixty-six (366)-day year, and paid for the actual number of days elapsed. All other computations of interest on the Loans and of other fees to the extent applicable shall be based on a 360-day year and paid for the actual number of days elapsed. Except as otherwise provided in the definition of the term “Interest Period” with respect to Term SOFR Loans, whenever a payment hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such extension.  The Outstanding Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities as reflected on the records of the Agent from time to time shall be considered prima facie evidence of such amount absent manifest error.
§4.2Temporary Inability to Determine Rates.  If (A) the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR or Adjusted Term SOFR cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof or (B) the Majority Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Rate Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR or Adjusted Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making and maintaining such Loan, and the Majority Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Agent, in each case of (A) and (B), on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period, the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Upon notice thereof by the Agent to the Borrower, (i) any obligation of the Lenders to make or continue the applicable SOFR Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Rate Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the 
    74    

affected SOFR Rate Loans or affected Interest Periods) until the Agent revokes such notice and (ii) if such determination affects the calculation of the Base Rate, the Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate” until the Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of any applicable SOFR Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Rate Loans or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Rate Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to §4.7. If the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on Base Rate Loans shall be determined by the Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate” until the Agent revokes such determination.
§4.3Illegality.  Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any present or future law, regulation, treaty or directive or the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over a Lender or its Applicable Lending Office shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make or maintain SOFR Rate Loans, such Lender shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances to the Agent and the Borrower and thereupon (a) the commitment of the Lenders to make SOFR Rate Loans shall forthwith be suspended and any Loan Request with respect to such borrowing shall be ineffective, and (b)(i) any such Term SOFR Loan then outstanding shall be converted automatically into (X) a Daily Simple SOFR Loan so long as Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of this §4.6 or (Y) a Base Rate Loan if Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of this §4.6, in each case, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Term SOFR Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day) or within such earlier period as may be required by law, and (ii) any such Daily Simple SOFR Loan then outstanding shall be converted automatically into a Base Rate Loan upon the occurrence of such event or within such earlier period as may be required by law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, before giving such notice, the applicable Lender shall designate a different lending office if such designation will void the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender or increase any costs payable by the Borrower hereunder.
§4.4Breakage Compensation.  The Borrower shall compensate each Lender for all reasonable losses, costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, cost, expenses or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its SOFR Rate Loans) which such Lender may sustain in connection with any of the following: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Agent) a borrowing of SOFR Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Loan Request or a Notice of Continuation or Conversion (whether or not such Loan Request or Notice of Continuation or Conversion is revoked by the Borrower or deemed to be revoked or ineffective pursuant to the terms of this Agreement); (ii) if any repayment, prepayment, Conversion or Continuation of any SOFR Rate Loan occurs on a date that is not the last day of an Interest Period or Interest Payment Date applicable thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its SOFR Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; or (iv) as a result of an assignment by a Lender of any SOFR Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto pursuant to a request by the Borrower in accordance herewith (collectively, “Breakage Costs”). A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower by the Agent and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The 
    75    

Borrower shall pay all Breakage Costs required to be paid by it pursuant to this Agreement within fifteen (15) days from receipt of any such certificate, or such earlier date as may be required by this Agreement. 
§4.5Additional Costs, Etc.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any present or future Applicable Law, which expression, as used herein, includes statutes, rules and regulations thereunder and interpretations thereof by any competent court or by any governmental or other regulatory body or official charged with the administration or the interpretation thereof and requests, directives, instructions and notices at any time (or from time to time) hereafter made upon or otherwise issued to any Lender or the Agent by any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall:
(co)subject any Lender or the Agent to any tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, fee, deduction or withholding of any nature with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, such Lender’s Commitment, a Letter of Credit or the Loans (except for Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and Connection Income Taxes), or
(cp)impose on any Lender or Issuing Lender or the relevant local market for obtaining quotations for any Benchmark any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein, or
(cq)impose or increase or render applicable any special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge, reserve, assessment, liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law and which are not already reflected in any amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder) against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, or commitments of an office of any Lender, or
(cr)impose on any Lender or the Agent any other conditions or requirements with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Loans, such Lender’s Commitment, a Letter of Credit or any class of loans or commitments of which any of the Loans or such Lender’s Commitment forms a part; and the result of any of the foregoing is:
(xiv)to increase the cost to any Lender of making, continuing, converting to, funding, issuing, renewing, extending or maintaining any of the Loans, the Letters of Credit or such Lender’s Commitment, or
(xv)to reduce the amount of principal, interest or other amount payable to any Lender or the Agent hereunder on account of such Lender’s Commitment or any of the Loans or the Letters of Credit, or
(xvi)to require any Lender or the Agent to make any payment or to forego any interest or other sum payable hereunder, the amount of which payment or foregone interest or other sum is calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum receivable or deemed received by such Lender or the Agent from the Borrower hereunder, 
then, and in each such case, the Borrower will, within fifteen (15) days of demand made by such Lender or (as the case may be) the Agent at any time and from time to time and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay to such Lender or the Agent such additional amounts as such Lender or the Agent shall determine in good faith to be sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Agent for such additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest or other sum.  Each Lender and the Agent in determining such amounts may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods generally applied by such Lender or the Agent.
    76    

§4.4Capital Adequacy.  If after the date hereof any Lender determines that (a) the adoption of or change in any Applicable Law regarding liquidity or capital ratio or requirements for banks or bank holding companies or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof, or (b) compliance by such Lender or its parent bank holding company with any guideline, request or directive of any such entity regarding liquidity or capital ratios or adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on such Lender’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s commitment to make Loans or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such holding company’s then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then such Lender may notify the Borrower thereof.  The Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender the amount of such reduction in the return on capital as and when such reduction is determined, upon presentation by such Lender of a statement of the amount setting forth the Lender’s calculation thereof.  In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods generally applied by such Lender.  For purposes of §4.8 and this §4.9, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, publications, orders, guidelines and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall be deemed to have been adopted and gone into effect after the date hereof regardless of when adopted, enacted or issued.
§4.5Reserved.  
§4.6Default Interest.  Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and regardless of whether or not the Agent or the Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans, all Loans shall bear interest payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2.0%) above an amount equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time (the “Default Rate”), until such amount shall be paid in full (after as well as before judgment), and the fee payable with respect to Letters of Credit shall be increased to a rate equal to two percent (2%) above the Letter of Credit fee that would otherwise be applicable to such time, or if any of such amounts shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by law, then at the maximum rate permitted by law.  
§4.7Certificate.  A certificate setting forth any amounts payable pursuant to §4.7, §4.8, §4.9 or §4.11 and a reasonably detailed explanation of such amounts which are due, submitted by any Lender or the Agent to the Borrower, shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, and shall be promptly provided to the Agent and the Borrower upon their written request.  
§4.8Limitation on Interest.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, all agreements between or among the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Approved JVs, the Lenders and the Agent, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of any of the Obligations or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received by the Lenders exceed the maximum amount permissible under Applicable Law.  If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to the Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to the Lenders shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under Applicable Law; and if from any circumstance the Lenders shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by Applicable Law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Obligations and to the payment of interest 
    77    

or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Obligations, such excess shall be refunded to the Borrower.  All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal of the Obligations (including the period of any renewal or extension thereof) so that the interest thereon for such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law.  The parties hereto hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon the Borrower for the use of money in connection with this Agreement is and shall be the interest specifically described in §2.6.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto further agree and stipulate that all agency fees, syndication fees, arrangement fees, amendment fees, extension fees, up front fees, commitment fees, facility fees, closing fees, letter of credit fees, underwriting fees, prepayment fees, default charges, late charges, funding or “breakage” charges, increased cost charges, attorneys’ fees and reimbursement for costs and expenses paid by the Agent or any Lender to third parties or for damages incurred by the Agent or any Lender, or any other similar amounts are charges made to compensate the Agent or any such Lender for underwriting or administrative services and costs or losses performed or incurred, and to be performed or incurred, by the Agent and the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and shall under no circumstances be deemed to be charges for the use of money.  Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Lenders have imposed no minimum borrowing requirements, reserve or escrow balances or compensating balances related in any way to the Obligations.  Any use by the Borrower of certificates of deposit issued by any Lender or other accounts maintained with any Lender has been and shall be voluntary on the part of the Borrower.  All charges other than charges for the use of money shall be fully earned and nonrefundable when due.  This §4.13 shall control all agreements between or among the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Approved JVs, the Lenders and the Agent.
§4.9Certain Provisions Relating to Increased Costs and Non-Funding Lenders.  If a Lender gives notice of the existence of the circumstances set forth in §4.8 or any Lender requests compensation for any losses or costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any one or more of the provisions of §§4.3(b) (as a result of the imposition of U.S. withholding taxes on amounts paid to such Lender under this Agreement), 4.8, 4.9 or 15(b), then, upon request of the Borrower, such Lender, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to designate another of such Lender’s offices, branches or affiliates for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce such amounts payable or (ii) would not subject Lender to any unreimbursed costs or expenses and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to Lender; the Borrower agreeing to pay all reasonably incurred costs and expenses incurred by such Lender in connection with any such action.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and if any Lender (a) has given notice of the existence of the circumstances set forth in §4.8 or has requested payment or compensation for any losses or costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any one or more of the provisions of §§4.3(b) (as a result of the imposition of U.S. withholding taxes on amounts paid to such Lender under this Agreement), 4.8, 4.9 or 15(b) and following the request of the Borrower has been unable to take the steps described above to mitigate such amounts (each, an “Affected Lender”), or (b) has failed to make available to the Agent its pro rata share of any Loan or participation in a Letter of Credit or Swing Loan and such failure has not been cured (a “Non-Funding Lender”), then, within thirty (30) days after such notice or request for payment or compensation or failure to fund, as applicable, the Borrower shall have the one-time right as to such Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, to be exercised by delivery of written notice delivered to the Agent and the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice or failure to fund, as applicable, to elect to cause the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, to transfer its Commitments and assign its Loans.  The Agent shall promptly notify the remaining Lenders that each of such Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire a portion of the Commitments and Loans, pro rata based upon 
    78    

their relevant Commitment Percentages, of the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable (or if any of such Lenders does not elect to purchase its pro rata share, then to such remaining Lenders in such proportion as approved by the Agent).  In the event that the Lenders do not elect to acquire all of the Affected Lender’s or Non-Funding Lender’s Commitments and Loans, then the Agent shall endeavor to, and the Borrower may, obtain a new Lender to acquire such remaining Commitments.  Upon any such purchase of the Commitments of the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, the Affected Lender’s or Non-Funding Lender’s interest in the Obligations and its rights hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall terminate at the date of purchase, and the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest, including an appropriate Assignment and Acceptance Agreement. If such Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, does not execute and deliver to the Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and/or such other documentation reasonably requested by the Agent to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser or assignee thereof within a period of time deemed reasonable by the Agent after the later of (i) the date on which such purchaser or assignee executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and/or such other documentation and (ii) the date on which such Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, receives all payments required to be paid to it by this §4.14, then such Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, shall, to the extent permissible by Applicable Law, be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and/or such other documentation as of such date and the Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable. The purchase price for the Affected Lender’s or Non-Funding Lender’s Commitments and Loans shall equal any and all amounts outstanding and owed by the Borrower to the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, including principal, prepayment premium or fee, and all accrued and unpaid interest or fees.   
§4.10Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing §§4.3, 4.8 and 4.9 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the eligible circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the change in law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the one hundred eighty (180) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 
§4.11Permanent Inability to Determine Rate; Benchmark Replacement. 
(cs)Benchmark Replacement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event with respect to any then current Benchmark, the Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace such Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders. No replacement of the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this §4.16(a) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date. 
    79    

(ct)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
(cu)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement.  The Agent will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to §4.16(d) and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this §4.16, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this §4.16.
(cv)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if any then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(cw)Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for the applicable SOFR Rate Loan of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Rate Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Base Rate based upon Adjusted Term SOFR (or then-current Benchmark) will not be used in any determination of Base Rate. Furthermore, if any applicable SOFR Rate Loans are outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to the Benchmark applicable to such SOFR Rate Loans, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement for such Benchmark is implemented pursuant to this §4.16, such outstanding affected SOFR Rate Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period.

§5.COLLATERAL SECURITY; GUARANTORS.

(cx)Intentionally Omitted.
(cy)The Agent may obtain new Appraisals, or an update to any existing Appraisals delivered to or obtained by Lender pursuant to this Agreement or the Existing Credit Agreement, with respect to the Real Estate, or any of them, as the Agent shall determine (i) at any time following a Default or Event of Default, or (ii) if the Agent reasonably believes that there has been a material adverse change or deterioration with respect to any Borrowing Base Asset, including, without limitation, a material change in the market in which any Borrowing Base Asset is located.  The expense of such Appraisals and/or updates performed pursuant to this §5.2(b) shall be borne by the Borrower and payable to the Agent within fifteen (15) days of demand; provided the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay for an Appraisal of a Borrowing Base Assets obtained pursuant to this §5.2(b) more often than once in any period of twelve (12) months if no Event of Default exists.
(cz)The Borrower acknowledges that the Agent has the right to approve any Appraisal performed pursuant to this Agreement.  The Borrower further agrees that the Lenders and the Agent do not make any representations or warranties with respect to any such Appraisal and shall have no liability as a result of or in connection with any such Appraisal for statements contained in such Appraisal, including without limitation, the accuracy and completeness of information, estimates, conclusions and opinions contained in such Appraisal, or variance of such Appraisal from the fair value of such property that is the subject of such Appraisal given by the local tax assessor’s office, or the Borrower’s idea of the value of such property.
§5.3Addition of Borrowing Base Assets.  
Provided no Default or Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall have the right, subject to the satisfaction by the Borrower of the conditions set forth in this §5.3, to add Potential Collateral to the Borrowing Base Availability.  In the event the Borrower desires to add additional Potential Collateral to the Borrowing Base Availability as aforesaid, the Borrower shall provide written notice to the Agent of such request (which the Agent shall promptly furnish to the Lenders), together with all documentation and other information required to permit the Agent to determine whether such Real Estate is Eligible Real Estate.  Thereafter, the Agent shall have ten (10) Business Days from the date of the receipt of such documentation and other information to advise the Borrower whether the Agent consents to the acceptance of such Potential Collateral as a Borrowing Base Asset.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Potential Collateral shall be included in the Borrowing Base Availability unless and until the following conditions precedent shall have been satisfied:
(da)such Potential Collateral shall be Eligible Real Estate;
(db)(i) each Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower which directly or indirectly owns and/or leases such Potential Collateral shall have executed a Joinder Agreement and satisfied the conditions of §5.5, and (ii) each Approved JV which directly or indirectly owns and/or leases such Potential Collateral shall have executed a Joinder Agreement to the extent required pursuant to §5.5;
    81    

(dc)prior to or contemporaneously with such addition, the Borrower shall have submitted to the Agent a Compliance Certificate prepared using the financial statements of the Borrower most recently provided or required to be provided to the Agent under §6.4 or 7.4 and a Borrowing Base Certificate, both prepared on a pro forma basis and adjusted to give effect to such addition, and shall certify that after giving effect to such addition, no Default or Event of Default shall exist;
(dd)the Borrower, the Wholly-Owned Subsidiary or the Approved JV which directly or indirectly owns or leases the Potential Collateral shall have executed and delivered to the Agent all Eligible Real Estate Qualification Documents, all of which instruments, documents or agreements shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (including, without limitation, clause (c) set forth in Schedule 5.3 attached hereto), the Borrower shall not be required to grant to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, any lien or security interest in the Equity Interests of TRS Holdco held by the Borrower; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to limit any provision contained herein (including, without limitation, in §5.3 and §5.5) which requires (i) TRS Holdco to be a Guarantor and/or a Subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement, the Guaranty, the Indemnity Agreement, the other Loan Documents and/or the Contribution Agreement, as applicable, or (ii) TRS Holdco to grant to the Agent a lien or security interest in any and all Equity Interests held by TRS Holdco in any Person which directly or indirectly owns or leases a Borrowing Base Asset; and
(de)after giving effect to the inclusion of such Potential Collateral, each of the representations and warranties made by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Approved JVs or any of their respective Subsidiaries contained in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or in any document or instrument delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement shall be true in all material respects both as of the date as of which it was made and shall also be true as of the time of the addition of such Potential Collateral to the Borrowing Base Availability, with the same effect as if made at and as of that time, except to the extent of changes resulting from transactions permitted by the Loan Documents and except as previously disclosed in writing by the Borrower to the Agent and approved by the Agent in writing (which disclosures shall be deemed to amend the schedules and other disclosures delivered as contemplated in this Agreement (it being understood and agreed that any representations and warranties which expressly relate to a given date or period shall be required only to be true and correct in all material respects as of the respective date or for the respective period, as the case may be (in each case, without duplication of any materiality qualifier contained therein)), and no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (including, without limitation, any Default under §9.1), and the Agent shall have received a certificate of the Borrower to such effect.
The Borrower shall not be responsible for the payment of any costs or expenses of the Lenders in connection with the addition of Borrowing Base Assets; provided that the Borrower shall be responsible for the reasonable costs and expenses of the Agent and the Agent’s counsel.
§5.1Release of Borrowing Base Assets.  Provided no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder and be continuing (or would exist immediately after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this §5.4), the Agent shall release a Borrowing Base Asset (and, if such Borrowing Base Asset is owned by a Subsidiary Guarantor and the only Eligible Real Estate of such Subsidiary Guarantor is such Borrowing Base Asset, the guaranty of such Subsidiary Guarantor) from the lien or security title of the Security Documents encumbering the same upon the request of the Borrower subject to and upon the following terms and conditions:
    82    

(df)the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent written notice of its desire to obtain such release no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which such release is to be effected;
(dg)the Borrower shall submit to the Agent with such request a Compliance Certificate prepared using the financial statements of the Borrower most recently provided or required to be provided to the Agent under §6.4 or 7.4 adjusted in the best good faith estimate of the Borrower to give effect to the proposed release and demonstrating that no Default or Event of Default with respect to the covenants referred to therein shall exist after giving effect to such release;
(dh)all release documents to be executed by the Agent shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent;
(di)the Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of the Agent in connection with such release, including without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees;
(dj)the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders a release price, which payment shall be applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Loans as provided in §3.4, in an amount equal to the amount necessary to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Loans so that no violation of the covenants set forth in §3.2, §7.20 or §9.1 shall occur; and
(dk)without limiting or affecting any other provision hereof, any release of a Borrowing Base Asset (or a guaranty) as provided in this §5.4 will not cause the Borrower to be in violation of the restrictions set forth in the definition of Borrowing Base Availability or the covenants set forth in this Agreement.
§5.4Additional Guarantors.  In the event that the Borrower shall request that certain Real Estate which is directly or indirectly owned or leased by a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower be included as a Borrowing Base Asset as contemplated by §5.3 and such Real Estate is included as a Borrowing Base Asset in accordance with the terms thereof, the Borrower shall, as a condition to such Real Estate being included as a Borrowing Base Asset, in addition to the requirements of §7.20, cause each such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary (and any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower that is a direct or indirect parent of such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary) to execute and deliver to the Agent a Joinder Agreement, and such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.  In addition, in the event that the Borrower shall request that certain Real Estate owned or leased directly or indirectly by an Approved JV shall be included as a Borrowing Base Asset as contemplated by §5.3 and such Real Estate is included as a Borrowing Base Asset in accordance with the terms thereof, and the applicable organizational agreements of such Approved JV which directly or indirectly owns or leases such Real Estate permit such Person to execute and deliver to the Agent a Joinder Agreement and become a Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents without the need for any consent or authorization by any Person other than the Borrower or a Subsidiary thereof, then the Borrower shall, as a condition to such Real Estate of an Approved JV being included as a Borrowing Base Asset, in addition to the requirements of §7.20, cause each such Approved JV to execute and deliver to the Agent a Joinder Agreement, and such Approved JV shall become a Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. Each Subsidiary of the Borrower required to be a Guarantor pursuant to this §5.5 shall be specifically authorized, in accordance with its respective organizational agreements, to be a Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and to execute the Contribution Agreement and such Security Documents as the Agent may require.  The Borrower shall further cause all representations, covenants and agreements in the Loan Documents with respect to the Guarantors to be true and correct with respect to each such Subsidiary.  In connection with the delivery of such Joinder 
    83    

Agreement, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent such organizational agreements, resolutions, consents, opinions and other documents and instruments as the Agent may reasonably require (it being understood, with respect to any Approved JV, that the Agent shall not require the Borrower to obtain any consent or authorization by any Person other than the Borrower or a Subsidiary thereof in order for such Person to become a Guarantor hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and if any such consent or authorization is required for such Approved JV to become a Guarantor hereunder or thereunder, then such Approved JV shall not be required to become a Guarantor hereunder or thereunder as a condition for the Real Estate of such Approved JV to be included as a Borrowing Base Asset).  For the avoidance of doubt, if any Approved JV becomes a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower as a result of the Borrower or any Subsidiary acquiring one-hundred percent (100%) of the Equity Interests of such Approved JV, such Approved JV shall (to the extent not already a Guarantor) be required to become a Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents pursuant to this §5.5 so long as it directly or indirectly owns or leases Real Estate included as a Borrowing Base Asset, and the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent, within ten (10) Business Days after such Approved JV becomes a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, a Joinder Agreement and such organizational agreements, resolutions, consents, opinions and other documents and instruments as the Agent may reasonably require in connection therewith.

§6.2Leases.
(du)The Borrower has delivered to the Agent true copies of the Leases and any amendments thereto relating to each Borrowing Base Asset required to be delivered as a part of the Eligible Real Estate Qualification Documents.  An accurate and complete Rent Roll as of the date of inclusion of each Borrowing Base Asset in Borrowing Base Availability with respect to all Leases of any portion of the Borrowing Base Asset has been provided to the Agent.  The Leases reflected on such Rent Roll constitute as of the date thereof the sole leases or licenses or other agreements pertaining to the occupancy or use of space at such Borrowing Base Asset and in the Building relating thereto.  Except as reflected on such Rent Roll or on Schedule 6.21, no tenant under any Lease (i) is entitled to any free rent, partial rent, rebate of rent payments, credit, offset or deduction in rent, including, without limitation, lease support payments, lease buy-outs or abatements or credits, and (ii) has made any prepayments of rent or other payments due under such Lease for more than one (1) month in advance of the due date of such payment.  Except as set forth in Schedule 6.21, the Leases reflected therein are, as of the date of inclusion of the applicable Borrowing Base Asset in Borrowing Base Availability, in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms, without basic rental payments or other payments to the landlord thereunder being in default beyond any applicable cure period or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, any other material default thereunder, nor are there any defenses, counterclaims, offsets, concessions, rebates, or, except as expressly set forth in the applicable Leases or amendments thereto relating delivered to Agent as required by this Agreement, tenant improvement allowances, contributions or landlord construction obligations available to any tenant thereunder, and, except as reflected in Schedule 6.21, neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor has given or made, any notice of any payment or other material default, or any claim, which remains uncured or unsatisfied, with respect to any of the Leases, and to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Borrower, there is no basis for any such claim or notice of default by any tenant.  Except as reflected in Schedule 6.21, no property, other than the Borrowing Base Asset which is the subject of the applicable Lease, is necessary to comply with the requirements (including, without limitation, parking requirements) contained in such Lease.  
(dv)The Borrower has delivered a true and correct copy of each Ground Lease and any amendments thereto with respect to a Borrowing Base Asset to the Agent and such Ground Leases have not been modified, amended or assigned (other than as set forth in such amendments delivered to Agent as hereinabove contemplated).  There are no rights to terminate a Ground Lease with respect to a Borrowing Base Asset other than the applicable ground lessor’s right to terminate by reason of default, casualty, condemnation or other similar reasons, in each case as expressly set forth in the applicable Ground Lease.  Each Ground Lease with respect to a Borrowing Base Asset is in full force and effect and no breach or default or event that with the giving of notice or passage of time would constitute a breach or default under the applicable Ground Lease with respect to a Borrowing Base Asset (a “Ground Lease Default”) exists or has occurred on the part of the Borrower or any Guarantor or on the part of the ground lessor under any such Ground Lease.  The Borrower and the Guarantors have not received any written notice that a Ground Lease Default has occurred or exists, or that any ground lessor or any third party alleges the same to have occurred or exist.  The Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor is the 
    91    

exclusive holder of the lessee’s interest under and pursuant to each Ground Lease with respect to a Borrowing Base Asset and has not assigned, transferred or encumbered its interest in, to, or under such Ground Lease, except for an encumbrance resulting from Liens which are expressly contemplated in §§8.2(i) and 8.2(iv).

Except as set forth on Schedule 6.22 and the property condition reports for the existing Borrowing Base Assets delivered to the Agent on or before the Closing Date (i) all of the Borrowing Base Assets, and all major building systems located thereon, are structurally sound, in good condition and working order and free from material defects, subject to ordinary wear and tear, and (ii) all of the improvement components of the other Real Estate of the Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries are structurally sound, in good condition and working order, subject to ordinary wear and tear, except with respect to this clause (ii) where such defects do not have and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Each of the Borrowing Base Assets, and the use and operation thereof, is in material compliance with all Applicable Laws, including without limitation, laws, regulations and ordinances relating to zoning, building codes, subdivision, fire protection, health, safety, handicapped access, historic preservation and protection, wetlands and tidelands (but excluding for purposes of this §6.22, Environmental Laws).  Each of the Borrowing Base Assets has access to (a) all utilities which are necessary for the use and operation of such Borrowing Base Asset, and (b) to dedicated and accepted public roads, in each case, directly through dedicated public rights of way or through perpetual private easements or rights of way permitting such access (together with any permits, zoning or other entitlements required for such access under Applicable Law).  There are no unpaid or outstanding real estate or other taxes or assessments on or against any of the Borrowing Base Assets which are payable by the Borrower or any Guarantor (except only real estate or other taxes or assessments that are not yet delinquent or are being protested as permitted by this Agreement), and each Borrowing Base Asset is separately assessed for purposes of real estate tax assessment and payment.  As of the date of inclusion of each Borrowing Base Asset in the Borrowing Base Availability, there are no pending, or to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened in writing, eminent domain proceedings against such Borrowing Base Asset, such Borrowing Base Asset is not damaged as a result of any fire, explosion, accident, flood or other casualty, and none of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries has received any outstanding notice from any insurer or its agent requiring performance of any work with respect to such Borrowing Base Asset or canceling or threatening to cancel any policy of insurance with respect to such Borrowing Base Asset.  Except as set forth on Schedule 6.22 (or with respect to Borrowing Base Assets added after the date hereof, as disclosed to the Agent in writing), no person or entity has any right or option to acquire any Borrowing Base Asset or any Building thereon, or any portion thereof or interest therein.  Neither the Borrower, nor any Guarantor, nor any Approved JV is a party to any Management Agreements for any of the Borrowing Base Assets except as have been delivered to the Agent and approved in accordance with this Agreement, and there are no material agreements not otherwise terminable upon thirty (30) days’ notice pertaining to any Borrowing Base Asset, any Building thereon or the operation or maintenance of either thereof other than as listed in the Schedules to this Agreement or the Title Policies.  
§6.21Brokers.  None of REIT nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged or otherwise dealt with any broker, finder or similar entity in connection with this Agreement or the Loans contemplated hereunder.
§6.22Other Debt.  As of the date of this Agreement, (a) none of the Borrower, any Guarantor nor any of their respective Subsidiaries is in default of (i) the payment of any Indebtedness, the performance of any related agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement, financing agreement, indenture or lease to which any of them is a party, and (b) no Indebtedness of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries has been accelerated.  Neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor is a party to or bound by any agreement, 
    92    

instrument or indenture that may require the subordination in right or time or payment of any of the Obligations to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor.  Schedule 6.24 hereto sets forth as of the date of this Agreement all agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust, financing agreements or other material agreements binding upon the Borrower and each Guarantor or their respective properties and entered into by the Borrower and/or such Guarantor as of the date of this Agreement with respect to any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Guarantor in an amount greater than $10,000,000.00, and the Borrower has notified the Agent of such documents and, if requested by Agent, provided the Agent with such true, correct and complete copies thereof if such documents have not been filed with the SEC. 
§6.23Solvency.  As of the Closing Date and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including all Loans made or to be made hereunder, neither the Borrower, nor any Guarantor, nor any Approved JV (if any) is insolvent on a balance sheet basis such that the sum of such Person’s assets exceeds the sum of such Person’s liabilities, the Borrower, each Guarantor and each Approved JV (if any) is able to pay its debts as they become due, and the Borrower, each Guarantor and each Approved JV (if any) has sufficient capital to carry on its business.
§6.24No Bankruptcy Filing.  Neither the Borrower, nor any Guarantor, nor any Approved JV is contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or Insolvency Laws (including corporate laws to the extent used to compromise debts) or for the liquidation of its assets or property, and neither the Borrower, nor any Guarantor, nor any Approved JV has any knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it.
§6.25No Fraudulent Intent.  Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents nor the performance of any actions required hereunder or thereunder is being undertaken by the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries with or as a result of any actual intent by any of such Persons to hinder, delay or defraud any entity to which any of such Persons is now or will hereafter become indebted.
§6.26Transaction in Best Interests of the Borrower and Guarantors; Consideration.  The transaction evidenced by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents is in the best interests of the Borrower, each Guarantor and their respective Subsidiaries.  The Borrower and the Guarantors are engaged in common business enterprises related to those of the Borrower and each Guarantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the effectiveness and existence of this Agreement.  The direct and indirect benefits to inure to the Borrower, each Guarantor and their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute substantially more than “reasonably equivalent value” (as such term is used in  Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code) and “valuable consideration,” “fair value,” and “fair consideration” (as such terms are used in any applicable state fraudulent conveyance law), in exchange for the benefits to be provided by the Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and but for the willingness of each Guarantor to guaranty the Loan, the Borrower would be unable to obtain the financing contemplated hereunder which financing will enable the Borrower, each Guarantor and their respective Subsidiaries to have available financing to conduct and expand their business.
§6.27Contribution Agreement.  The Borrower and the Guarantors have executed and delivered the Contribution Agreement, and the Contribution Agreement constitutes the valid and legally binding obligations of such parties enforceable against them in accordance with the terms and provisions thereof, except as enforceability is limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights and except to the extent that availability of the remedy of specific performance 
    93    

or injunctive relief is subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.
§6.28Representations and Warranties of Guarantors and Approved JVs.  The Borrower has no knowledge that any of the representations or warranties of any Guarantor or any Approved JV contained in any Loan Document to which such Guarantor or such Approved JV is a party are untrue or inaccurate in any material respect.
§6.29OFAC.  None of the Borrower, nor any Guarantor, nor any of such Persons’ respective Subsidiaries, or any of such Persons’ respective directors, officers, or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, employees, agents, advisors or Affiliates of the Borrower or any Guarantor (a) is (or will be) a Person: (i) that is, or is owned or controlled by Persons that are:  (x) the subject or target of any Sanctions Laws and Regulations or (y) located, organized or resident in a country or territory that is, or whose government is, the subject of Sanctions Laws and Regulations, including, without limitation Crimea, Cuba, Iran, North Korea and Syria or (ii) with whom any Lender is restricted from doing business under OFAC (including, those Persons named on OFAC’s Specially Designated and Blocked Persons list) or under any statute, executive order (including the September 24, 2001 Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action and (b) is not and shall not engage in any dealings or transactions or otherwise be associated with any such Person described in the foregoing clause (a) (any such Person, a “Designated Person”).  In addition, the Borrower hereby agrees to provide to the Lenders any additional information reasonably necessary from time to time in order to ensure compliance with all applicable Laws (including, without limitation, any Sanctions Laws and Regulations) concerning money laundering and similar activities.  Neither the Borrower, nor any Guarantor, nor any of such Person’s respective Subsidiaries, nor any of such Persons’ respective directors, officers, or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, employees, agents, advisors or Affiliates of the Borrower or any Guarantor, has engaged in any activity or conduct which would violate any applicable anti-bribery, anti-corruption or anti-money laundering laws or regulations in any applicable jurisdiction, including without limitation, any Sanctions Laws and Regulations.

(dw)Each Healthcare Representation Borrowing Base Asset (i) is in material conformance with all insurance, reimbursement and cost reporting requirements, (ii) for those Healthcare Representation Borrowing Base Assets where Operator is required by Applicable Laws to maintain a provider agreement pursuant to Medicare and/or Medicaid, said provider agreement is in full force and effect under Medicare and Medicaid, and (iii) is in material compliance with all other Applicable Laws (but excluding for purposes of this §6.32 Environmental Laws) including, without limitation, (A) Healthcare Laws, (B) licensure requirements, (C) staffing requirements, (D) health and fire safety codes, including quality and safety standards, (E) those relating to the prevention of fraud and abuse, (F) Third Party Payor program requirements and disclosure of ownership and related information requirements, (G) requirements of applicable Governmental Authorities, including those relating to the Healthcare Representation Borrowing Base Assets’ physical structure, environmental requirements (including, without limitation, sanitary requirements (but excluding for purposes of this §6.32 Environmental Laws))) of Governmental Authorities for healthcare facilities, quality and adequacy of medical care and licensing, and (H) those related to reimbursement for the type of care or services provided by Operators with respect to the Healthcare Representation Borrowing Base Assets.  There is no existing, pending or, to the Borrower’s knowledge, threatened in writing, revocation, suspension, termination, probation, restriction, limitation, or nonrenewal proceeding by any third-party payor under a Third-Party Payor Program, other than those which have been disclosed to the Agent, if any.
    94

(dz)With respect to any Healthcare Representation Borrowing Base Asset, except as set forth on Schedule 6.32, (i) there are no presently existing circumstances that would result or likely would result in a material violation of any Healthcare Law, (ii) no Healthcare Representation Borrowing Base Asset has received a notice of violation at a level that under Applicable Law requires the filing of a plan of correction, and no statement of charges or deficiencies has been made or penalty enforcement action has been undertaken against any Healthcare Representation Borrowing Base Asset, (iii) no Operator currently has any violation imposed, and no statement of charges or deficiencies has been made or penalty enforcement action has been undertaken, in each case, that remains outstanding against any Healthcare Representation Borrowing Base Asset, any Operator or against any officer, director, partner, member or stockholder of any Operator, by any Governmental Authority or Third Party Payor Program, and (iv) there have been no violations threatened in writing against any Healthcare Representation Borrowing Base Asset’s, or any Operator’s, certification for participation in Medicare, Medicaid or any other Third-Party Payor Program that remain open or unanswered that are, in each case of clauses (i) through (iv), reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(ea)With respect to any Healthcare Representation Borrowing Base Asset, the Borrower has received no notice of any current, pending or outstanding Governmental Authority or Third-Party Payor Program reimbursement audits, appeals, reviews, suspensions or recoupment efforts actually pending at any Healthcare Representation Borrowing Base Asset that would result in a Material Adverse Effect, and there are no years that are subject to an open audit in respect of any Third-Party Payor Program that would, in each case, have a Material Adverse Effect on the Borrower, any Guarantor, any Approved JV or Operator, other than customary audit rights pursuant to Medicare/Medicaid/TRICARE programs or other Third Party Payor Programs.

§7.11Limiting Agreements
(ez)Neither the Borrower, the Guarantors nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall enter into, any agreement, instrument or transaction which has or may have the effect of prohibiting or limiting the Borrower’s, the Guarantors’ or any of their respective Subsidiaries’ ability to pledge to the Agent any Borrowing Base Assets as security for the Obligations.  The Borrower will not take, and will not permit the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries to take, any action that would impair the right and ability of the Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries to pledge such assets as security for the Obligations without any such pledge after the date hereof causing or permitting the acceleration (after the giving of notice or the passage of time, or otherwise) of any other Indebtedness of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries.
(fa)The Borrower shall, upon demand, provide to the Agent such evidence as the Agent may reasonably require to evidence compliance with this §7.12, which evidence shall include, without limitation, copies of any agreements or instruments which would in any way restrict or limit the Borrower’s, any Guarantor’s or any Subsidiary’s ability to pledge Borrowing Base Assets as security for Indebtedness, or which provide for the occurrence of a default (after the giving of notice or the passage of time, or otherwise) if Borrowing Base Assets are pledged in the future as security for Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Guarantor.

The Borrower, each Subsidiary Guarantor and each Approved JV have maintained and shall continue to maintain in all material respects all records required to be maintained by any Governmental Authority or Third Party Payor Program or otherwise under the Healthcare Laws and there are no presently existing circumstances which would result or likely would result in material violations of the Healthcare Laws.

If the Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Approved JV at any time becomes a “covered entity” or a “business associate” or subject to the “Administrative Simplification” provisions of HIPAA, then such Persons (x) will promptly undertake all necessary surveys, audits, inventories, reviews, analyses and/or assessments (including any necessary risk assessments) of all areas of its business and operations required by HIPAA and/or that could be adversely affected by the failure of such Person(s) to be HIPAA Compliant (as defined below); (y) will promptly develop a detailed plan and time line for becoming HIPAA Compliant (a “HIPAA Compliance Plan”); and (z) will implement those provisions of such HIPAA Compliance Plan in all material respects necessary to ensure that such Person(s) are or become HIPAA Compliant.  For purposes hereof, “HIPAA Compliant” shall mean that the Borrower, each Subsidiary Guarantor and each Approved JV, as applicable (A) are or will be in material compliance with each of the applicable requirements of the so-called “Administrative Simplification” provisions of HIPAA on and as of each date that any party thereof, or any final rule or regulation thereunder, becomes effective in accordance with its or their terms, as the case may be (each such date, a “HIPAA Compliance Date”), if and to the extent the Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Approved JV are subjected to such provisions, rules or regulations, and (B) are not and could not reasonably be expected to become, as of any date following any such HIPAA Compliance Date, the subject of any civil or criminal penalty, process, claim, action or proceeding, or any administrative or other regulatory review, 
    104    

survey, process or proceeding (other than routine surveys or reviews conducted by any government health plan or other accreditation entity) that could result in any of the foregoing or that could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the Borrower’s, any Subsidiary Guarantor’s or any Approved JV’s business, operations, assets, properties or condition (financial or otherwise), in connection with any actual or potential violation by the Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Approved JV of the then effective provisions of HIPAA.
(fd)The Borrower shall not, nor shall the Borrower permit any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Approved JV to, do (or suffer to be done) any of the following with respect to any Borrowing Base Asset:
(xvii)Transfer any Primary Licenses relating to such Borrowing Base Asset to any location other than to another Borrowing Base Asset;
(xviii)Amend the Primary Licenses in such a manner that results in a material adverse effect on the rates charged, or otherwise diminish or impair the nature, tenor or scope of the Primary Licenses without the Agent’s consent;
(xix)Transfer all or any part of any Borrowing Base Asset’s units or beds to another site or location other than to another Borrowing Base Asset; or
(xx)Voluntarily transfer or encourage the transfer of any resident of any Borrowing Base Asset to any other facility (other than to another Borrowing Base Asset), unless such transfer is (A) at the request of the resident, (B) for reasons relating to the health, required level of medical care or safety of the resident to be transferred or the residents remaining at the such Borrowing Base Asset or (C) as a result of the disruptive behavior of the transferred resident that is detrimental to the Borrowing Base Asset.
(fe)If and when the Borrower, a Subsidiary Guarantor or an Approved JV participates in any Medicare or Medicaid or other Third-Party Payor Programs with respect to the Borrowing Base Assets, the Borrowing Base Assets will remain in compliance with all requirements necessary for participation in Medicare, Medicaid, and such other Third-Party Payor Programs.  If and when an Operator participates in any Medicare, Medicaid or other Third-Party Payor Programs with respect to the Borrowing Base Assets, where expressly empowered by the applicable Lease, the Borrower, such Subsidiary Guarantor or such Approved JV, as applicable, shall enforce the express obligation of such Operator (if any) to cause its Borrowing Base Asset to remain in compliance with all requirements necessary for participation in Medicare, Medicaid and such other Third-Party Payor Programs.  Where expressly empowered by the applicable Lease, the Borrower, such Subsidiary Guarantor or such Approved JV, as applicable, shall enforce the obligations of the Operator thereunder (if any) to cause its Borrowing Base Asset to remain in conformance in all material respects with Healthcare Laws, as well as all insurance, reimbursement and cost reporting requirements, and, if applicable, to have such Operator maintain its current provider agreement(s) in full force and effect with Medicare, Medicaid and any other Third Party Payor Programs in which it participates.
(ff)If the Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Approved JV receives written notice of any Healthcare Investigation after the Closing Date, the Borrower will promptly obtain and provide to the Agent the following information with respect thereto, to the extent the Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Approved JV has such information or can obtain it pursuant to the applicable Lease or by law: (i) number of records requested, (ii) dates of service, (iii) dollars at risk, (iv) date records submitted, (v) determinations, findings, results and denials (including number, percentage and dollar amount of claims denied, (vi) additional remedies proposed or imposed, (vii) status update, including appeals, and (viii) any other pertinent information related thereto.

§7.12Registered Servicemark.  Without prior written notice to the Agent, except with respect to the trademarks, tradenames, servicemarks or logos listed on Schedule 6.6 hereto, none of the Borrowing Base Assets shall be owned or operated by the Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Approved JV under any trademark, tradename, servicemark or logo (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply with respect to any trademark, trade name, servicemark or logo of any third-party Operator of a Borrowing Base Asset).  In the event any of the Borrowing Base Assets shall be owned or operated under any tradename, trademark, servicemark or logo which is owned or licensed by the Borrower, or the Guarantor or Approved JV which owns such Borrowing Base Asset, and which is not listed on Schedule 6.6 hereto, the Borrower or the applicable Guarantor or Approved JV shall enter into such agreements with the Agent in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, as the Agent may reasonably require to grant the Agent a perfected first priority security interest therein and to grant to the Agent or any successful bidder at a foreclosure sale of such Borrowing Base Asset the right and/or license to continue operating such Borrowing Base Asset under such tradename, trademark, servicemark or logo as determined by the Agent.
§7.13Ownership of Real Estate.  Without the prior written consent of the Agent, all Real Estate and all interests (whether direct or indirect) of REIT or the Borrower in any Real Estate assets now owned or leased or acquired or leased after the date hereof shall be owned or leased directly by the Borrower or a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower; provided, however that the Borrower shall be permitted to own or lease interests in Real Estate through non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries and Unconsolidated Affiliates of the Borrower as permitted by §8.3(l).
§7.14Distributions of Income to the Borrower.  The Borrower shall cause all of its Subsidiaries (subject to the terms of any loan documents under which such Subsidiary is the borrower or a guarantor, including, without limitation, any restrictions on distributions of such Subsidiary set forth in instruments evidencing property-level Secured Indebtedness of such Subsidiary) to promptly distribute to the Borrower (but not less frequently than once each calendar quarter, unless otherwise approved by the Agent), whether in the form of dividends, distributions or otherwise, all profits, proceeds or other income relating to or arising from its Subsidiaries’ use, operation, financing, refinancing, sale or other disposition of their respective assets and properties after (a) the payment by each Subsidiary of its debt service, operating expenses, any U.S. federal, state and local taxes payable by such Subsidiary, capital improvements and leasing commissions for such quarter, (b) the establishment of reasonable reserves for the payment of (i) operating expenses not paid on at least a quarterly basis, (ii) capital improvements and tenant improvements to be made to such Subsidiary’s assets and properties approved by each such Subsidiary in the course of its business consistent with its past practices and (iii) any U.S. federal, state or local taxes payable by each such Subsidiary, and (c) with respect to any Subsidiary which is a TRS, retention of such funds as REIT may reasonably determine to the extent that such distribution could reasonably be expected to affect the REIT’s ability to satisfy the income tests in Section 856(c) of the Code.  Neither the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their Subsidiaries shall enter into any agreement that limits the ability of any Subsidiary to make a dividend or distribution payment to the Borrower or any Guarantor or to otherwise transfer any property to the Borrower or any Guarantor, provided, however, that this sentence shall not prohibit any negative pledge incurred or provided in favor of any holder of Indebtedness permitted under §8.1(h) and §8.1(i) solely to the extent any such negative pledge relates to the property financed by or the subject of such Indebtedness.
§7.15Plan Assets.  The Borrower, the Guarantors and each of their respective Subsidiaries will do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to ensure that none of its Real Estate will be deemed to be Plan Assets at any time.
    106

(fg)The Eligible Real Estate included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base Availability shall at all times satisfy all of the following conditions (unless otherwise permitted pursuant to §7.20(b)):
(xxi)the Eligible Real Estate shall be owned one hundred percent (100%) in fee simple, or leased under a Ground Lease as to which no Ground Lease Default has occurred, by the Borrower, a Subsidiary Guarantor or, subject to §7.20(a)(xiii), by a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of an Approved JV, in each case free and clear of all Liens other than the Liens permitted in §8.2(i), (iv), (ix) and (x), and, except as approved by the Agent in its sole discretion, such Eligible Real Estate shall not have applicable to it any restriction on the sale, pledge, transfer, mortgage or assignment of such property (including any restrictions contained in any applicable organizational documents);
(xxii)none of the Eligible Real Estate shall have any material title, survey, environmental, structural or other defects that would give rise to a materially adverse effect as to the value, use of or ability to sell or refinance such property, and all representations and warranties with respect to such Eligible Real Estate shall be true and correct in all material respects without giving effect to any knowledge qualifier with respect to any such representation or warranty;
(xxiii)the only assets of the Subsidiary Guarantor or Approved JV which owns or leases any Eligible Real Estate shall be the Eligible Real Estate included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base Availability and inclusion as a Borrowing Base Asset and any furniture, fixtures, equipment and cash related to, or used in the ordinary operation of, such Eligible Real Estate;
(xxiv)such Eligible Real Estate shall be self-managed by the Borrower, or the Subsidiary Guarantor or Approved JV that owns or leases such Eligible Real Estate, or shall be managed by a Property Manager pursuant to a Management Agreement or, if such Eligible Real Estate is one hundred percent (100%) leased under an absolute triple net lease, is managed by an Operator;
(xxv)each tenant under a Lease at such Eligible Real Estate must not be past due with respect to any payment obligation more than ninety (90) days and be in material compliance with all other obligations under its lease, and not be subject to any Insolvency Event; provided, however, that if such Eligible Real Estate is a multi-tenant facility and a tenant thereof is past due with respect to any payment obligation more than ninety (90) days, or is not in material compliance with all other obligations under its lease or is subject to any Insolvency Event, such Eligible Real Estate may be included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base Availability if such tenant does not lease more than forty percent (40%) of the Net Rentable Area of such Eligible Real Estate;
(xxvi)no Eligible Real Estate which is subject to a lease or leases to any single tenant or any Affiliate thereof shall in the aggregate account for more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Borrowing Base Capitalized Value Limit, and any excess shall be excluded from the Borrowing Base Capitalized Value Limit (for the purposes hereof, such tenants shall not be considered Affiliates of each other solely by virtue of having common ownership by an equity fund provided that their financial results are not consolidated with a common parent entity);  
(xxvii)the aggregate Borrowing Base Capitalized Value Limit of the Borrowing Base Assets constituting (A) LTACs, Rehabs, Hospitals and ASCs shall not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the Borrowing Base Capitalized Value Limit, (B)  SNFs shall not exceed 
    107    

ten percent (10%) of the Borrowing Base Capitalized Value Limit, and (C) HRPs shall not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the Borrowing Base Capitalized Value Limit, and, in each case, any excess shall be excluded from the Borrowing Base Capitalized Value Limit;
(xxviii)the Primary License of such Eligible Real Estate shall not have been revoked and shall not be the subject of any revocation proceeding and, with respect to an SNF, the Operator thereof shall be entitled to reimbursement under Medicare or Medicaid;

(xxxi)with respect to any Borrowing Base Asset that is leased to or operated by a single Non-Investment Grade Operator, such Borrowing Base Asset shall have a ratio of (a) EBITDAR for such tenant or operator to (b) all base rent and additional rent due and payable by a tenant under any Lease, in each case, during the previous twelve (12) calendar months, of not less than (w) 1.40 to 1.00 for any such Borrowing Base Asset that is a Rehab, LTAC, Hospital or ASC, (x) 1.25 to 1.00 for any such Borrowing Base Asset that is a SNF, (y) 1.10 to 1.00 for any such Borrowing Base Asset that is an ILF or ALF, and (z) for any such Borrowing Base Asset that is a HRP, a ratio to be determined by the Agent (in consultation with the Borrower) on a case-by-case basis for each such HRP (provided that, for the purposes of this §7.20(a)(xi), a Non-Investment Grade Operator shall not include a TRS of REIT that leases such Borrowing Base Asset from the Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor), it being understood that compliance with the foregoing covenant shall be determined on the basis of financial information provided by such Non-Investment Grade Operator regarding which the Borrower nor any Guarantor makes any representation or warranty; and provided further that if a single Non Investment Grade Operator leases or operates more than one Borrowing Base Asset described in clause (w), (x), (y) or (z) pursuant to a master lease, and all of the properties subject to the master lease are Borrowing Base Assets, then for the purposes of calculating the ratios in clauses (w), (x), (y) or (z) above, all of such Borrowing Base Assets subject to such master lease shall be included in calculating such ratio (for the avoidance of doubt, only Borrowing Base Assets of the type included in clauses (w), (x), (y) or (z), respectively, shall be included when aggregating multiple Borrowing Base Assets subject to a master lease for each such category and shall not be aggregated across the different types of properties described in each of clauses (w), (x), (y) and (z)); and provided that the Borrower may exclude from compliance with the foregoing covenant Borrowing Base Assets subject to this §7.20(a)(xi) whose Borrowing Base Capitalized Value Limit does not in the aggregate exceed ten percent (10%) of total Borrowing Base Capitalized Value Limit to the extent that the applicable Operators’ Agreement existing at the time of acquisition of such Borrowing Base Asset by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries does not require the delivery of financial information sufficient to permit calculation of the foregoing covenant, or with respect to any Operators’ Agreement under which the Operator fails to deliver financial information to permit calculation of the foregoing covenant;
(xxxii)all Eligible Real Estate included in the calculation of Borrowing Base Availability shall at all times have on a collective basis a weighted average remaining lease term (calculated by weighting the remaining lease term of such Eligible Real Estate (without 
    108    

regard to any extension options at the tenant’s discretion) by the Borrowing Base Capitalized Value Limit attributable to such Eligible Real Estate) of not less than five (5) years; 
(xxxiii)the aggregate Borrowing Base Capitalized Value Limit of the Borrowing Base Assets which are owned or leased by an Approved JV shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the Borrowing Base Capitalized Value Limit, and any excess shall be excluded from the Borrowing Base Capitalized Value Limit; 
(xxxiv)there shall be at all times at least twenty (20) Borrowing Base Assets included in the calculation of Borrowing Base Capitalized Value Limit and the aggregate Capitalized Value shall be at least Three Hundred Million Dollars ($300,000,000); 
(xxxv)such Eligible Real Estate shall not have been excluded from the calculation of the Borrowing Base Availability pursuant to §7.20(c) or §7.20(d).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event any Eligible Real Estate does not qualify to be included in the calculation of Borrowing Base Availability solely due to non-compliance with §7.20(a)(x)(A) and/or §7.20(a)(xi), the Borrower shall be permitted to add such Eligible Real Estate as a Borrowing Base Asset (subject to compliance by the Borrower with all other requirements hereunder for such Eligible Real Estate to be added as a Borrowing Base Asset), provided that such Borrowing Base Asset shall be excluded from the calculation of Borrowing Base Availability unless and until such Borrowing Base Asset achieves compliance with §7.20(a)(x)(A) and §7.20(a)(xi), as applicable, and continues to comply with all other requirements hereunder for such Eligible Real Estate to be included as Borrowing Base Asset and in the calculation of Borrowing Base Availability.
(fh)Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any Real Estate does not qualify as Eligible Real Estate or satisfy the requirements of §7.20(a), such Real Estate shall be included as a Borrowing Base Asset and in the calculation of the Borrowing Base Availability so long as the Agent shall have received the prior written consent of each of the Majority Lenders to the inclusion of such Real Estate as a Borrowing Base Asset and in the calculation of the Borrowing Base Availability, and no Default or Event of Default shall arise hereunder solely as a result of such Real Estate failing to satisfy the specific requirements of Eligible Real Estate or §7.20(a) which initially disqualified such Real Estate from being included in the calculation of Borrowing Base Availability pursuant to §7.20(a).
(fi)In the event that all or any material portion of any Eligible Real Estate included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base Availability shall be damaged in any material respect or taken by condemnation, then such property shall no longer be included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base Availability unless and until (i) any damage to such real estate is repaired or restored, such real estate becomes fully operational and the Agent shall receive evidence satisfactory to the Agent of the value of such real estate following such repair or restoration (both at such time and prospectively) or (ii) the Agent shall receive evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Agent that the value of such real estate (both at such time and prospectively) shall not be materially adversely affected by such damage or condemnation.  In the event that such damage or condemnation only partially affects such Eligible Real Estate included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base Availability, then the Agent may in good faith reduce the Borrowing Base Availability attributable thereto based on such damage until such time as the Agent receives evidence satisfactory to the Agent that the value of such real estate (both at such time and prospectively) shall no longer be materially adversely affected by such damage or condemnation.
(fj)Upon any asset ceasing to qualify to be included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base Availability, such asset shall no longer be included in the calculation of the 
    109    

Borrowing Base Availability unless and until such asset would so qualify, unless otherwise approved in writing by the Majority Lenders.  Within five (5) Business Days after becoming aware of any such disqualification, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a certificate reflecting such disqualification, together with the identity of the disqualified asset, a statement as to whether any Default or Event of Default arises as a result of such disqualification, and a calculation of the Borrowing Base Availability attributable to such asset.  Simultaneously with the delivery of the items required pursuant above, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent an updated Borrowing Base Certificate demonstrating, after giving effect to such removal or disqualification, compliance with the conditions and covenants contained in §§7.20 and 9.1.  
§7.1Management.  The Borrower shall not and shall not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Approved JV to enter into any Management Agreement with a manager after the date hereof for any Borrowing Base Asset without the prior written consent of the Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and after such approval, no such Management Agreement shall be modified to increase any fee payable to the manager thereunder or in a manner materially adverse to the interests of the Lenders or terminated (unless substantially concurrently with the termination thereof such Management Agreement is replaced with another Management Agreement with a Property Manager on terms that are not materially more onerous on the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor or Approved JV (taken as a whole) relative to the Management Agreement being terminated and a Subordination of Management Agreement with respect thereto is executed and delivered to the Agent); without the Agent’s prior written approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  The Agent may, however, condition any approval of a new manager engaged by the Borrower, a Subsidiary Guarantor or an Approved JV with respect to a Borrowing Base Asset upon the execution and delivery to the Agent of a Subordination of Management Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such approval shall be required if the Borrower or a Subsidiary of the Borrower is to be the manager; provided, however that such manager shall nonetheless be required to execute and deliver to the Agent a Subordination of Management Agreement.  The Borrower shall not and shall not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor, Approved JV or any other Subsidiary to increase any management fee payable under a Management Agreement after the date the applicable Real Estate becomes a Borrowing Base Asset without the prior written consent of the Agent. 
§7.2Incentive Listing Note; Outperformance Agreement.  
(fk)The Borrower shall provide to the Agent, as soon as available, drafts of the Incentive Listing Note for the Agent’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Simultaneously with entering into the Incentive Listing Note, the Borrower and the Special Limited Partner shall (i) execute and deliver to the Agent the Subordination and Standstill Agreement (together with evidence of Special Limited Partner’s authority to enter into the same satisfactory to the Agent), and (ii) provide to the Agent executed copies of the Incentive Listing Note and any other agreements, instruments or documents relating thereto (the “Listing Note Documents”).  The Subordination and Standstill Agreement shall constitute a Loan Document upon the execution and delivery thereof. The Borrower acknowledges that the existence of the Subordination and Standstill Agreement and the performance by the Agent and the Lenders of their obligations under the Subordination and Standstill Agreement shall not affect, impair or release the obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents.  The Subordination and Standstill Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders and not for the benefit of the Borrower, and the Borrower shall have no rights thereunder or any right to insist on the performance thereof.  
(fl)During the term of the Incentive Listing Note, the Borrower shall not, directly or through REIT or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (i) make cash payments under the Listing Note Documents other than the Permitted Incentive Listing Note Distributions, which Permitted Incentive Listing Note Distributions shall not exceed $100,000,000.00 in the 
    110    

aggregate, or (ii) pay any of the obligations accrued under the Listing Note Documents other than at such times and to the extent that no Default or Event of Default exists or would arise as a result thereof.  Without the prior written consent of the Agent, which may be withheld in the Agent’s sole and absolute discretion, the Listing Note Documents shall not be (a) modified, amended or waived in any respect (provided that with respect to this clause (a), the Agent’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); or (b) prepaid, amortized, purchased, defeased, retired, redeemed or otherwise acquired unless there is no Default or Event of Default and the payment is made from Distributions permitted pursuant to §8.7), provided that no such consent shall be required for the contribution of the Incentive Listing Note to the Borrower in exchange for common equity interests of the Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.  The Borrower shall promptly notify the Agent in writing of the principal balance of the Incentive Listing Note once such amount has been determined.
(fm)The Borrower shall provide to the Agent, as soon as available, drafts of any Outperformance Agreement for the Agent’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld (provided, without limiting the foregoing, that Agent may withhold such approval if the Outperformance Agreement contemplates any compensation payable to Advisor in any form other than LTIP Units). Simultaneously with entering into any Outperformance Agreement, the Borrower shall  provide to the Agent executed copies of the Outperformance Agreement and any other agreements, instruments or documents relating thereto.
§7.17Sanctions Laws and Regulations; Anti-Bribery and Anti-Money Laundering.  
(fn)The Borrower shall not, directly or indirectly, use the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any Subsidiary, Unconsolidated Affiliate or other Person (i) to fund any activities or business of or with any Designated Person, or in any country or territory, that at the time of such funding is itself the subject of territorial sanctions under applicable Sanctions Laws and Regulations, or (ii) in any manner that would result in a violation of applicable Sanctions Laws and Regulations or applicable anti-bribery, anti-corruption or anti-money laundering laws or regulations in any applicable jurisdiction by any party to this Agreement.
(fo)None of the funds or assets of the Borrower or any Guarantor that are used to pay any amount due pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute funds obtained from transactions with or relating to Designated Persons or countries which are themselves the subject of territorial sanctions under applicable Sanctions Laws and Regulations.
§7.5Beneficial Ownership.  Promptly following any change in beneficial ownership of the Borrower that would render any statement in an existing Beneficial Ownership Certification untrue or inaccurate, the Borrower shall furnish to the Agent (for further delivery by the Agent to the Lenders in accordance with its customary practice) an updated Beneficial Ownership Certification for the Borrower.
§8.NEGATIVE COVENANTS.
The Borrower covenants and agrees that, so long as any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit is outstanding or any of the Lenders has any obligation to make any Loans or issue any Letter of Credit:
§8.1Restrictions on Indebtedness.  The Borrower will not, and will not permit any Guarantor or their respective Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume, guarantee or be or remain liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to any Indebtedness other than:

§8.2Restrictions on Liens, Etc.  The Borrower will not, and will not permit any Guarantor or their respective Subsidiaries to create or incur or suffer to be created or incurred or to exist any Lien upon any of their respective property or assets of any character whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or upon the income or profits therefrom; provided that

    117    

Real Estate that is not a Borrowing Base Asset, where any such use, generation, conduct or other activity does not have and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) with respect to any Borrowing Base Asset included in the calculation of Borrowing Base Availability where such use, generation, conduct or other activity does not have and could not reasonably be expected, when taken with other matters covered by §6.19 or this §8.6, to result in liability, clean-up, remediation, containment, correction or other costs to the Borrower or any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries individually or in the aggregate with other Borrowing Base Assets in excess of the Threshold Amount or materially adversely affect the operation of or ability to use such property or the health and safety of the tenants or other occupants of such property; provided, that the Borrower shall diligently use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue corrective, remedial and other actions required to bring such Borrowing Base Assets into compliance with applicable Environmental Laws.
The Borrower and the Guarantors shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to:
(i)in the event of any change in applicable Environmental Laws governing the assessment, release or removal of Hazardous Substances, take reasonable action (including, without limitation, the conducting of engineering tests at the sole expense of the Borrower) to confirm that no Hazardous Substances which are the subject of such change in applicable Environmental Laws were Released or disposed of on the Borrowing Base Assets in violation of applicable Environmental Laws, except with respect to any issues which have been previously remediated in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws; and
(ii)if any Release or disposal of Hazardous Substances which any Person may be legally obligated to contain, correct or otherwise remediate or which may be reasonably likely otherwise to expose it to liability shall occur or shall have occurred on the Borrowing Base Assets (including, without limitation, any such Release or disposal occurring prior to the acquisition or leasing of such Borrowing Base Asset by the Borrower, any Guarantor or any Approved JV), the Borrower shall, after obtaining knowledge thereof, cause the prompt containment and removal of such Hazardous Substances and remediation of the Borrowing Base Assets as required and in full compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws; provided, that each of the Borrower, a Guarantor and an Approved JV shall be deemed to be in compliance with Environmental Laws for the purpose of this clause (ii) so long as it or a responsible third party with sufficient financial resources is taking reasonable action to remediate or manage any event of noncompliance to the extent required under applicable Environmental Laws to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agent and no action shall have been commenced or filed by any enforcement agency.  The Agent may engage its own Environmental Engineer to review the environmental assessments and the compliance with the covenants contained herein.
(iii)At any time after an Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder, the Agent may at its election (and will at the request of the Majority Lenders) obtain such environmental assessments of any or all of the Borrowing Base Assets prepared by an Environmental Engineer as may be necessary or advisable for the purpose of evaluating or confirming (A) whether any Hazardous Substances are present in the soil or water at or migrating to or from any such Borrowing Base Asset in violation of applicable Environmental Laws and (B) whether the use and operation of any such Borrowing Base Asset complies with all applicable Environmental Laws to the extent required by the Loan Documents.  Additionally, at any time that the Agent or the Majority Lenders shall have reasonable grounds to believe that a Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Substances which any Person may be legally obligated to contain, correct or otherwise remediate or which otherwise may be reasonably likely to expose such Person to liability may have occurred, relating to any Borrowing Base Asset, or that any of the Borrowing Base Assets is not in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws to the extent required by the Loan Documents, the Borrower shall promptly upon the request of the Agent obtain and deliver to the Agent such environmental assessments of such Borrowing 
    118

Environmental assessments may include detailed visual inspections of such Borrowing Base Asset including, without limitation, any and all storage areas, storage tanks, drains, dry wells and leaching areas, and the taking of soil samples, as well as such other investigations or analyses as are reasonably necessary or appropriate for a determination of the compliance of such Borrowing Base Asset and the use and operation thereof with all applicable Environmental Laws.  All environmental assessments contemplated by this §8.6 shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower.

(hq)In the event that there shall occur any Default that affects only certain Borrowing Base Assets or the owner(s) thereof, then the Borrower may elect to cure such Default (so long as no other Default or Event of Default would arise as a result) by electing to have the Agent remove such Borrowing Base Assets from the calculation of the Borrowing Base Availability and, to the extent required hereunder in connection with such removal, by reducing the outstanding Loans and Letters of Credit so that no Default exists under this Agreement, in which event such removal and reduction shall be completed within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice of such Default from the Agent or the Majority Lenders; provided, however, that in the event such Default occurs as a result of a representation or warranty under §6.32 being false (without regard to any knowledge qualifier) in any material respect with respect to an Operator not affiliated with the Borrower, such removal and, if applicable, reduction shall be 
    130    

completed within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of such Default from the Agent or the Majority Lenders.
§12.1Termination of Commitments.  If any one or more Events of Default specified in §12.1(g), 12.1(h), or 12.1(i) shall occur, then immediately and without any action on the part of the Agent or any Lender any unused portion of the credit hereunder shall terminate and the Lenders shall be relieved of all obligations to make Loans or issue Letters of Credit to the Borrower.  If any other Event of Default shall have occurred, the Agent may, and upon the election of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders, shall, by notice to the Borrower terminate the obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans to and issue Letters of Credit for the Borrower.  No termination under this §12.3 shall relieve the Borrower, the Guarantors or the Approved JVs of their obligations to the Lenders arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
§12.2Remedies.  In case any one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and whether or not the Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans pursuant to §12.1, the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders may, and upon the direction of the Majority Lenders, shall proceed to protect and enforce their rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Notes and/or any of the other Loan Documents by suit in equity, action at law or other appropriate proceeding, including to the full extent permitted by Applicable Law the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the obtaining of the ex parte appointment of a receiver, and, if any amount shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, the enforcement of the payment thereof.  No remedy herein conferred upon the Agent or the holder of any Note is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or any other provision of law.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement providing that the Loans may be evidenced by multiple Notes in favor of the Lenders, the Lenders acknowledge and agree that only the Agent may exercise any remedies arising by reason of a Default or Event of Default.  If the Borrower, any Guarantor or any Approved JV fails to perform any agreement or covenant contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents beyond any applicable period for notice and cure, the Agent may itself perform, or cause to be performed, any agreement or covenant of such Person contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents which such Person shall fail to perform, and the out-of-pocket costs of such performance, together with any reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred (including attorneys’ fees incurred in any appeal) by the Agent in connection therewith, shall be payable by the Borrower upon demand and shall constitute a part of the Obligations and shall if not paid within thirty (30) days after demand bear interest at the Default Rate.  In the event that all or any portion of the Obligations is collected by or through an attorney-at-law, the Borrower shall pay all costs of collection including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees.
§12.3Distribution of Collateral Proceeds.  In the event that, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any monies are received in connection with the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or otherwise with respect to the realization upon any of the Collateral or other assets of the Borrower or the Guarantors, such monies shall be distributed for application as follows:
(hr)First, to the payment of, or (as the case may be) the reimbursement of the Agent for or in respect of, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses, disbursements and losses which shall have been paid, incurred or sustained by the Agent to protect or preserve the Collateral or in connection with the collection of such monies by the Agent, for the exercise, protection or enforcement by the Agent of all or any of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in respect of the Collateral or in support of any provision of adequate indemnity to the Agent 
    131    

against any taxes or liens which by law shall have, or may have, priority over the rights of the Agent or the Lenders to such monies;
(hs)Second, to all other Obligations and Hedge Obligations (including any interest, expenses or other obligations incurred after the commencement of a bankruptcy or other proceeding under any Insolvency Law) in such order or preference as the Majority Lenders shall determine; provided, that (i) Swing Loans shall be repaid first, (ii) distributions in respect of such other Obligations shall include, on a pari passu basis, any Agent’s fee payable pursuant to §4.2, (iii) in the event that any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, payments to such Lender shall be governed by §2.13, and (iv) except as otherwise provided in clause (iii), Obligations owing to the Lenders with respect to each type of Obligation such as interest, principal, fees and expenses and Hedge Obligations (but excluding the Swing Loans) shall be made among the Lenders and Lender Hedge Providers, pro rata, and as between the Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans pro rata; and provided, further that the Majority Lenders may in their discretion make proper allowance to take into account any Obligations not then due and payable; and
(ht)Third, the excess, if any, shall be returned to the Borrower or to such other Persons as are entitled thereto.
§12.3Collateral Account.  
(hu)As collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, Swing Loans and the other Obligations and Hedge Obligations, the Borrower hereby pledges and grants to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Agent and the Lenders as provided herein, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to the Collateral Account and the balances from time to time in the Collateral Account (including the investments and reinvestments therein provided for below).  The balances from time to time in the Collateral Account shall not constitute payment of any Letter of Credit Liabilities or Swing Loans until applied by the Agent as provided herein.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, funds held in the Collateral Account shall be subject to withdrawal only as provided in this §12.6.
(hv)Amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account shall be invested and reinvested by the Agent in such Cash Equivalents as the Agent shall determine in its sole discretion.  All such investments and reinvestments shall be held in the name of and be under the sole dominion and control of the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders.  The Agent shall exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any funds held in the Collateral Account and shall be deemed to have exercised such care if such funds are accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Agent accords other funds deposited with the Agent, it being understood that the Agent shall not have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any funds held in the Collateral Account.
(hw)If a drawing pursuant to any Letter of Credit occurs on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower and the Lenders authorize the Agent to use the monies deposited in the Collateral Account to make payment to the beneficiary with respect to such drawing or the payee with respect to such presentment.  If a Swing Loan is not refinanced as a Revolving Credit Loan as provided in §2.5, then the Agent is authorized to use monies deposited in the Collateral Account to make payment to the Swing Loan Lender with respect to any participation not funded by a Defaulting Lender.
(hx)If an Event of Default exists, the Required Revolving Credit Lenders may, in their discretion, at any time and from time to time, instruct the Agent to liquidate any such investments and reinvestments and apply proceeds thereof to the Obligations and Hedge Obligations in accordance with §12.5.
    132    

(hy)So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, and to the extent amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account exceed the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities then due and owing and the pro rata share of any Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swing Loans of any Defaulting Lender after giving effect to §2.13(c), the Agent shall, from time to time, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower within 10 Business Days after the Agent’s receipt of such request from the Borrower, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, such of the balances in the Collateral Account as exceed the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swing Loans at such time.
(hz)The Borrower shall pay to the Agent from time to time such fees as the Agent normally charges for similar services in connection with the Agent’s administration of the Collateral Account and investments and reinvestments of funds therein.  The Borrower authorizes the Agent to file such financing statements as the Agent may reasonably require in order to perfect the Agent’s security interest in the Collateral Account, and the Borrower shall promptly upon demand execute and deliver to the Agent such other documents as the Agent may reasonably request to evidence its security interest in the Collateral Account.
§13.SETOFF.  
Regardless of the adequacy of any Collateral, during the continuance of any Event of Default under §12.1(a) or §12.1(b), including in connection with any acceleration of the Obligations, any deposits (general or specific, time or demand, provisional or final, regardless of currency, maturity, or the branch where such deposits are held) or other sums credited by or due from any Lender to the Borrower or the Guarantors and any securities or other property of the Borrower or the Guarantors in the possession of such Lender may, without notice to the Borrower or any Guarantor (any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower and each Guarantor) but with the prior written approval of the Agent, be applied to or set off against the payment of Obligations and any and all other liabilities, direct, or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, of the Borrower or the Guarantors to such Lender.  Each of the Lenders agrees with each other Lender that if such Lender shall receive from the Borrower or a Guarantor, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of the right of setoff, or otherwise, and shall retain and apply to the payment of the Note or Notes held by such Lender (but excluding the Swing Loan Note) any amount in excess of its ratable portion of the payments received by all of the Lenders with respect to the Notes held by all of the Lenders, such Lender will make such disposition and arrangements with the other Lenders with respect to such excess, either by way of distribution, pro tanto assignment of claims, subrogation or otherwise as shall result in each Lender receiving in respect of the Notes held by it its proportionate payment as contemplated by this Agreement; provided that if all or any part of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such disposition and arrangements shall be rescinded and the amount restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.  In the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and (b) such Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.
§14.THE AGENT.  
§14.1Authorization.  The Agent is authorized to take such action on behalf of each of the Lenders and to exercise all such powers as are hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents and any related documents delegated to the Agent, together with such powers as are reasonably incident thereto, provided that no duties or responsibilities not expressly assumed 
    133    

herein or therein shall be implied to have been assumed by the Agent.  The obligations of the Agent hereunder are primarily administrative in nature, and nothing contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to constitute the Agent as a trustee for any Lender or to create an agency or fiduciary relationship.  The Agent shall act as the contractual representative of the Lenders hereunder, and notwithstanding the use of the term “Agent”, it is understood and agreed that the Agent shall not have any fiduciary duties or responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and is acting as an independent contractor, the duties and responsibilities of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  The Borrower and any other Person shall be entitled to conclusively rely on a statement from the Agent that it has the authority to act for and bind the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
§14.2Employees and Agents.  The Agent may exercise its powers and execute its duties by or through employees or agents and shall be entitled to take, and to rely on, advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  The Agent may utilize the services of such Persons as the Agent may reasonably determine, and all reasonable and documented fees and out-of-pocket expenses of any such Persons shall be paid by the Borrower.
§14.3No Liability.  Neither the Agent nor any of its shareholders, directors, officers or employees nor any other Person assisting them in their duties nor any agent, or employee thereof, shall be liable for (a) any waiver, consent or approval given or any action taken, or omitted to be taken, in good faith by it or them hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, or be responsible for the consequences of any oversight or error of judgment whatsoever, except that the Agent or such other Person, as the case may be, shall be liable for losses due to its willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (b) any action taken or not taken by the Agent with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders, the Required Revolving Credit Lenders or the Required Term Loan Lenders, as applicable.  The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to the Loan Documents and describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.
§14.4No Representations.  The Agent shall not be responsible for the execution or validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes, any of the other Loan Documents or any instrument at any time constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security for the Notes, or for the value of any such collateral security or for the validity, enforceability or collectability of any such amounts owing with respect to the Notes, or for any recitals or statements, warranties or representations made herein, or any agreement, instrument or certificate delivered in connection therewith or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate or instrument hereafter furnished to it by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein or in any of the other Loan Documents.  The Agent shall not be bound to ascertain whether any notice, consent, waiver or request delivered to it by the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Approved JVs or any holder of any of the Notes shall have been duly authorized or is true, accurate and complete.  The Agent has not made nor does it now make any representations or warranties, express or implied, nor does it assume any liability to the Lenders, with respect to the creditworthiness or financial condition of the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Approved JVs or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or the value of the Collateral or any other assets of the Borrower, any Guarantor, any Approved JV or any of their respective Subsidiaries.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based upon such information and documents as 
    134    

it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, based upon such information and documents as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  The Agent’s Special Counsel has only represented the Agent and KeyBank in connection with the Loan Documents and the only attorney client relationship or duty of care is between the Agent’s Special Counsel and the Agent or KeyBank. Each Lender has been independently represented by separate counsel on all matters regarding the Loan Documents and the granting and perfecting of liens in the Collateral.
§14.5Payments.  
(ia)A payment by the Borrower or any Guarantor to the Agent hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents for the account of any Lender shall constitute a payment to such Lender.  The Agent agrees to distribute to each Lender not later than one (1) Business Day after the Agent’s receipt of good funds, determined in accordance with the Agent’s customary practices, such Lender’s pro rata share of payments received by the Agent for the account of the Lenders except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, each payment by the Borrower hereunder shall be applied in accordance with §2.13(d).
(ib)If in the opinion of the Agent the distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder, under the Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve it in liability, it may refrain from making such distribution until its right to make such distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction.  If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court.  In the event that the Agent shall refrain from making any distribution of any amount received by it as provided in this §14.5(b), the Agent shall endeavor to hold such amounts in an interest bearing account and at such time as such amounts may be distributed to the Lenders, the Agent shall distribute to each Lender, based on their respective Commitment Percentages, its pro rata share of the interest or other earnings from such deposited amount.
§14.6Holders of Notes.  Subject to the terms of §18, the Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the absolute owner or purchaser thereof for all purposes hereof until it shall have been furnished in writing with a different name by such payee or by a subsequent holder, assignee or transferee.
§14.7Indemnity.  The Lenders ratably agree hereby to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent from and against any and all claims, actions and suits (whether groundless or otherwise), losses, damages, costs, expenses (including any expenses for which the Agent has not been reimbursed by the Borrower and the Guarantors as required by §15), and liabilities of every nature and character arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Notes, or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated or evidenced hereby or thereby, or the Agent’s actions taken hereunder or thereunder, except to the extent that any of the same shall be directly caused by the Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.  The agreements in this §14.7 shall survive the payment of all amounts payable under the Loan Documents.
    135    

§14.8The Agent as Lender.  In its individual capacity, KeyBank shall have the same obligations and the same rights, powers and privileges in respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it, and as the holder of any of the Notes as it would have were it not also the Agent.
§14.9Resignation.  The Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower.  Any such resignation may at the Agent’s option also constitute the Agent’s resignation as the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender.  Upon any such resignation, the Majority Lenders, subject to the terms of §18.1, shall have the right to appoint as a successor Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or any bank whose senior debt obligations are rated not less than “A” or its equivalent by Moody’s or not less than “A” or its equivalent by S&P and which has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000.00.  Unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such successor Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower.  If no successor Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within ten (10) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be any Lender or any bank whose senior debt obligations are rated not less than “A2” or its equivalent by Moody’s or not less than “A” or its equivalent by S&P and which has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000.00.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Agent and, if applicable, the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender, hereunder by a successor Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, such successor Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, and the retiring Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder as the Agent and, if applicable, the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender.  After any retiring Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender.  If the resigning Agent shall also resign as the Issuing Lender, such successor Agent shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or shall make other arrangements satisfactory to the current Issuing Lender, in either case, to assume effectively the obligations of the current Agent with respect to such Letters of Credit.  Upon any change in the Agent under this Agreement, the resigning Agent shall execute such assignments of and amendments to the Loan Documents as may be necessary to substitute the successor Agent for the resigning Agent.
§14.10Duties in the Case of Enforcement.  In case one or more Events of Default have occurred and shall be continuing, and whether or not acceleration of the Obligations shall have occurred, the Agent may and, if (a) so requested by the Majority Lenders and (b) the Lenders have provided to the Agent such additional indemnities and assurances in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages against expenses and liabilities as the Agent may reasonably request, shall proceed to exercise all or any legal and equitable and other rights or remedies as it may have; provided, however, that unless and until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Lenders.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Agent reasonably determines payment is in the best interest of all the Lenders, the Agent may without the approval of the Lenders pay taxes and insurance premiums and spend money for maintenance, repairs or other expenses which may be necessary to be incurred, and the Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Lenders of such action.  Each Lender shall, within thirty (30) days of request therefor, pay to the Agent its Commitment Percentage of the reasonable costs incurred by the Agent in taking any such actions hereunder to the extent that such costs shall not be promptly reimbursed to the 
    136    

Agent by the Borrower or the Guarantors or out of the Collateral within such period.  The Majority Lenders may direct the Agent in writing as to the method and the extent of any such exercise, the Lenders hereby agreeing to indemnify and hold the Agent harmless in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages from all liabilities incurred in respect of all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such directions, provided that the Agent need not comply with any such direction to the extent that the Agent reasonably believes the Agent’s compliance with such direction to be unlawful in any applicable jurisdiction or commercially unreasonable under the UCC as enacted in any applicable jurisdiction.
§14.11Bankruptcy.  In the event a bankruptcy or other proceeding under any Insolvency Law is commenced by or against the Borrower or any Guarantor with respect to the Obligations, the Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right to file and pursue a joint proof claim on behalf of all Lenders.  Any votes with respect to such claims or otherwise with respect to such proceedings shall be subject to the vote of the Majority Lenders or all of the Lenders as required by this Agreement.  Each Lender irrevocably waives its right to file or pursue a separate proof of claim in any such proceedings unless the Agent fails to file such claim within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from the Lenders requesting that the Agent file such proof of claim.
§14.12Reliance by the Agent.  The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by an Authorized Officer.  The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Agent (or Issuing Lender, as applicable) may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Agent (or Issuing Lender, as applicable) shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan or issuance of such Letter of Credit.  The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower, and/or the Guarantors and/or the Approved JVs), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
§14.13Approvals.  If consent is required for some action under this Agreement, or except as otherwise provided herein an approval of the Lenders, the Majority Lenders, the Required Revolving Credit Lenders or the Required Term Loan Lenders is required or permitted under this Agreement, each Lender agrees to give the Agent, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the request for action from the Agent together with all reasonably requested information related thereto (or such lesser period of time required by the terms of the Loan Documents), notice in writing of approval or disapproval (collectively, “Directions”) in respect of any action requested or proposed in writing pursuant to the terms hereof.  To the extent that any Lender does not approve any recommendation of the Agent, such Lender shall in such notice to the Agent describe the actions that would be acceptable to such Lender.  If consent is required for the requested action, any Lender’s failure to respond to a request for Directions within the required time period shall be deemed to constitute a Direction to take such requested action.  In the event that any recommendation is not approved by the requisite number of Lenders and a subsequent approval on the same subject matter is requested by the Agent, then for the purposes of this paragraph each Lender shall be required to respond to a request for Directions within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such request.  The Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to assume that any officer of the other Lenders delivering any notice, consent, certificate or other writing is authorized to give such notice, consent, certificate or other writing unless the Agent and such other Lenders have otherwise been notified in writing.
    137    

§14.14The Borrower Not Beneficiary.  Except for the provisions of §14.9 relating to the appointment of a successor Agent, the provisions of this §14 are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, may not be enforced by the Borrower, any Guarantor or any Approved JV, and except for the provisions of §14.9, may be modified or waived without the approval or consent of the Borrower.
§14.15Reliance on Hedge Provider.  For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with §§12.1, 12.5, 12.6 or any other provision of the Loan Documents, the Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the trustee, paying agent or other similar representative (each, a “Representative”) or, in the absence of such a Representative, upon the holder of the Hedge Obligations for a determination (which each holder of the Hedge Obligations agrees (or shall agree) to provide upon request of the Agent) of the outstanding Hedge Obligations owed to the holder thereof.  Unless it has actual knowledge (including by way of written notice from such holder) to the contrary, the Agent, in acting hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that no Hedge Obligations are outstanding. 
§14.16Subordination and Standstill Agreement.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Agent to enter into the Subordination and Standstill Agreement and any other subordination or intercreditor agreement on its behalf and to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of any such agreement. Each Lender further agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Subordination and Standstill Agreement and any other subordination or intercreditor agreement. Each Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Agent to issue blockage notices at the direction of the Agent or the Majority Lenders. 
§14.17Erroneous Payments.
(ic)If the Agent (x) notifies a Lender, Issuing Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Lender (any such Lender, Issuing Lender or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Issuing Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf)  (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this §14.17(a) and held in trust for the benefit of the Agent, and such Lender or Issuing Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 
(id)Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, Issuing Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Lender, hereby 
    138    

further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, Issuing Lender or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:
(xxxvi)it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and 
(xxxvii)such Lender or Issuing Lender shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Agent pursuant to this §14.17(b).
For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Agent pursuant to this §14.17(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to §14.17(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.
(ie)Each Lender or Issuing Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Issuing Lender under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Agent to such Lender or Issuing Lender under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (a).
(if)(i)    In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender or Issuing Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf)  (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Agent’s notice to such Lender or Issuing Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (A) such Lender or Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant class of Loans with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment  Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement by reference pursuant to an approved electronic platform as to which the Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender or Issuing Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver 
    139    

any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) the Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, the Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender or Issuing Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender or assigning Issuing Lender shall cease to be a Lender or Issuing Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender or assigning Issuing Lender, (D) the Agent and the Borrower shall each be deemed to have waived any consent required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (E) the Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment.  For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(ii)    Subject to §18.1 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from the Borrower or otherwise), the Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender or Issuing Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender or Issuing Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Agent on or with respect to any such Loans acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Loans are then owned by the Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.
(ig)The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, to the rights and interests of such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that, the Borrower’s Obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Loans that have been assigned to the Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any Guarantor; provided that this §14.17(e) shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for) or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Agent from the Borrower or any Guarantor for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.
(ih)To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to  an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, 
    140    

any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
(ii)Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this §14.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuing Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.
§15.EXPENSES.  
The Borrower agrees to pay (a) the reasonable costs of producing and reproducing this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other agreements and instruments mentioned herein, (b) any Indemnified Taxes, (c) the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of a single counsel to the Agent and Arrangers and a single local counsel per jurisdiction to the Agent incurred in connection with the preparation, administration, or interpretation of the Loan Documents and other instruments mentioned herein, and amendments, modifications, approvals, consents or waivers hereto or hereunder, (d) the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of the Agent and the Arrangers incurred in connection with the syndication and/or participation (by KeyBank) of the Loans, (e) all other reasonable and documented out of pocket fees, expenses and disbursements of the Agent incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, administration or interpretation of the Loan Documents and other instruments mentioned herein, and amendments, modifications, approvals, consents or waivers hereto or hereunder, the addition or substitution of additional Collateral, the review of Leases and related documents, the release of any Guarantors or Collateral, the making of each advance hereunder, the issuance of Letters of Credit, and the syndication of the Commitments pursuant to §18 (without duplication of those items addressed in clause (d) above), (f) all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, and fees and costs of appraisers, engineers, investment bankers or other experts retained by the Agent) incurred by any Lender or the Agent in connection with (i) a failure of the Borrower or any “Company” (as defined in the Assignment of Interests) to perform or observe any of the provisions of the Assignment of Interest, (ii) the enforcement of or preservation of rights under any of the Loan Documents against the Borrower, the Guarantors or the Approved JVs or the administration thereof after the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default and (iii) any litigation, proceeding or dispute arising under the Loan Documents, provided, that, in connection with the attorney’s fees and costs payable by the Borrower under this clause (f), the Borrower shall only be obligated to pay for the reasonable attorney’s fees and costs of a counsel to the Agent (which at the Agent’s discretion may include any local counsel or any other counsel to the Agent which the Agent may retain) and a single law firm for the Lenders taken as a whole (provided that in the event of a conflict of interest with respect to counsel for the Lenders, the Borrower shall also pay the reasonable fees and costs of an additional single law firm for such Lenders), (g) all reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the Agent incurred in connection with UCC searches, UCC filings, title rundowns or title searches, (h) all reasonable out-of-pocket fees, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) which may be incurred by KeyBank in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (without duplication of any of the items listed above), and (i) all expenses relating to the use of Intralinks, SyndTrak or any other similar system for the dissemination and sharing of documents and information in connection with the Loans.  The covenants of this §15 shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the obligations of the Lenders hereunder.
    141    

§16.INDEMNIFICATION.  
The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, the Lenders and each Arranger and each director, officer, employee, agent, attorney and Affiliate thereof and Person who controls the Agent, or any Lender or any Arranger against any and all claims, actions and suits, whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages and expenses of every nature and character arising out of, resulting from or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby including, without limitation, (a) any and all claims for brokerage, leasing, finders or similar fees which may be made relating to the Borrowing Base Assets, any other Real Estate or the Loans, (b) any condition of the Borrowing Base Assets or other Real Estate, (c) any actual or proposed use by the Borrower of the proceeds of any of the Loans or Letters of Credit, (d) any actual or alleged infringement of any patent, copyright, trademark, servicemark or similar right of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (e) the Borrower, Guarantors and Approved JVs entering into or performing this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, as applicable, (f) any actual or alleged violation of any law, ordinance, code, order, rule, regulation, approval, consent, permit or license relating to the Borrowing Base Assets or any other Real Estate, (g) with respect to the Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries and their respective properties and assets, the violation of any applicable Environmental Law, the Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Substances or any action, suit, proceeding or investigation brought or threatened with respect to any Hazardous Substances (including, but not limited to, claims with respect to wrongful death, personal injury, nuisance or damage to property), (h) any use of Intralinks, SyndTrak or any other system for the dissemination and sharing of documents and information, in each case including, without limitation, but subject to the succeeding sentence, the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding, and (i) any enforcement of the Assignment of Interests or acts taken or omitted to be taken by the Agent or the Lenders thereunder or in connection therewith; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated under this §16 to indemnify any Person for liabilities arising from such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.  In litigation, or the preparation therefor, the Lenders and the Agent shall be entitled to select a single law firm as their own counsel (and, to the extent reasonably necessary in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel) and, in addition to the foregoing indemnity, the Borrower agrees to pay promptly the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of such counsel.  No person indemnified hereunder shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.    If, and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower under this §16 are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agree to make the maximum contribution to the payment in satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under Applicable Law.  The provisions of this §16 shall survive the repayment of the Loans, the return of the Letters of Credit and the termination of the obligations of the Lenders hereunder.
This §16 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent claims, losses, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.
§17.SURVIVAL OF COVENANTS, ETC.  
All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein, in the Notes, in any of the other Loan Documents or in any documents or other papers delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to have been relied upon by the Lenders and the Agent, notwithstanding any 
    142    

investigation heretofore or hereafter made by any of them, and shall survive the making by the Lenders of any of the Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, as herein contemplated, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any amount due under this Agreement or the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents (other than any indemnification obligations which survive the termination of this Agreement and/or the full repayment of the Loans and any other amounts due under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents) remains outstanding or any Letters of Credit remain outstanding or any Lender has any obligation to make any Loans or issue any Letters of Credit.  The indemnification obligations of the Borrower provided herein and in the other Loan Documents and the Borrower’s obligations under §§4.7, 4.8 and 4.9 shall survive the full repayment of amounts due and the termination of the obligations of the Lenders hereunder and thereunder to the extent provided herein and therein.  All statements contained in any certificate delivered to any Lender or the Agent at any time by or on behalf of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall constitute representations and warranties by such Person hereunder.
§18.ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATION.  
§18.1Conditions to Assignment by Lenders.  Except as provided herein, each Lender may assign to one or more banks or other entities (but not to any natural person) all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment Percentage and Commitment and the same portion of the Loans at the time owing to it and the Notes held by it); provided that (a) the Agent, the Issuing Lender and, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, the Borrower shall have each given its prior written consent to such assignment, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and if the Borrower does not respond to any such request for consent within ten (10) Business Days, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented (provided that such consent shall not be required for any assignment to another Lender, to a Related Fund, to a lender or an Affiliate of a Lender which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the assigning Lender or to a wholly-owned Subsidiary of such Lender), (b) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitment in the event an interest in the Revolving Credit Loans is assigned, or of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Term Loans and the Term Loan Commitment, if any, in the event an interest in the Term Loans is assigned, (c) the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for recording in the Register (as hereinafter defined) an assignment and acceptance agreement in the form of Exhibit J attached hereto (an “Assignment and Acceptance Agreement”), together with any Notes subject to such assignment, (d) in no event shall any assignment be to any natural person or any Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with, or which is not otherwise free from influence or control by the Borrower or any Guarantor or be to a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender, (e) such assignee of a portion of the Revolving Credit Loans shall have a net worth or unfunded commitment as of the date of such assignment of not less than $100,000,000.00 (unless otherwise approved by the Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, the Borrower), (f) such assignee shall acquire an interest in the Loans of not less than $5,000,000.00 and integral multiples of $1,000,000.00 in excess thereof (or if less, the remaining Loans of the assignor), unless waived by the Agent, and so long as no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, the Borrower and (g) if such assignment is less than the assigning Lender’s entire Commitment, the assigning Lender shall retain an interest in the Loans of not less than $5,000,000.00 (unless otherwise approved by the Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, the Borrower).  Upon execution, delivery, acceptance and recording of such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and all other Loan Documents executed by the Lenders and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, have the rights and 
    143    

obligations of a Lender hereunder (including the obligations in Section 4.3(g)), (ii) the assigning Lender shall, upon payment to the Agent of the registration fee referred to in §18.2, be released from its obligations under this Agreement arising after the effective date of such assignment with respect to the assigned portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (iii) the Agent may unilaterally amend Schedule 1.1 to reflect such assignment.  In connection with each assignment, the assignee shall represent and warrant to the Agent, the assignor and each other Lender as to whether such assignee is controlling, controlled by, under common control with or is not otherwise free from influence or control by, the Borrower and/or any Guarantor and whether such assignee is a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender.  In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans in accordance with its Commitment Percentage.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Default exists hereunder, no assignment pursuant to this §18.1 shall be to another real estate investment trust which owns and/or operates healthcare facilities and could reasonably be considered a competitor of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (a “Competitor REIT”); provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 
§18.2Register.  The Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent for the Borrower, shall maintain on behalf of the Borrower a copy of each assignment delivered to it and a register or similar list (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment Percentages of and principal amount of the Loans owing to the Lenders from time to time.  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and the Lenders at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  Upon each such recordation, the assigning Lender (including, but not limited to, an assignment by a Lender to another Lender) agrees to pay to the Agent a registration fee in the sum of $3,500.00.
§18.3New Notes.  Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement executed by the parties to such assignment, together with each Note subject to such assignment, the Agent shall record the information contained therein in the Register.  Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of notice of such assignment from the Agent, the Borrower, at the applicable assignee’s own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Agent, in exchange for each surrendered original Note (or an indemnity agreement, as provided in §31), a new Note to the order of such assignee in an amount equal to the amount assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and, if the assigning Lender has retained some portion of its obligations hereunder, a new Note to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the amount retained by it hereunder.  Such new Notes shall provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Notes, shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the surrendered Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such 
    144    

Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the assigned Notes.  The surrendered original Notes shall be canceled and returned to the Borrower (or the Borrower shall receive an indemnity agreement, as provided in §31).
§18.4Participations.  Each Lender may, without the consent of the Agent or the Borrower, sell participations to one or more Lenders or other entities (but not to any natural person) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (a) any such sale or participation shall not affect the rights and duties of the selling Lender hereunder, (b) such participation shall not entitle such participant to any rights or privileges under this Agreement or any Loan Documents, including without limitation, rights granted to the Lenders under §§4.3, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9 and 13, (c) such participation shall not entitle the participant to the right to approve waivers, amendments or modifications, (d) such participant shall have no direct rights against the Borrower, (e) such sale is effected in accordance with all Applicable Laws, and (f) such participant shall not be a Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with, or which is not otherwise free from influence or control by the Borrower and/or any Guarantor and shall not be a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender and, provided that no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, shall not be a Competitor REIT; provided, however, such Lender may agree with the participant that it will not, without the consent of the participant, agree to (i) increase, or extend the term or extend the time or waive any requirement for the reduction or termination of, such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on the Loans or portions thereof owing to such Lender (other than pursuant to an extension of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date pursuant to §2.12), (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal, (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon or (v) release any Guarantor or any material Collateral (except as otherwise permitted under this Agreement).  Any Lender which sells a participation shall promptly notify the Agent of such sale and the identity of the purchaser of such interest.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
§18.5Pledge by Lender.  Any Lender may at any time pledge all or any portion of its interest and rights under this Agreement (including all or any portion of its Note) to any of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks organized under Section 4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. §341, any other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, or to such other Person as the Agent may approve to secure obligations of such Lender.  No such pledge or the enforcement thereof shall release the pledgor Lender from its obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents.
§18.6No Assignment by the Borrower.  The Borrower shall not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each of the Lenders.
    145    

§18.7Disclosure.  The Borrower and the Guarantors each agree to promptly cooperate with any Lender in connection with any proposed assignment or participation of all or any portion of its Commitment.  The Borrower and the Guarantors each agree that any Lender may disclose information obtained by such Lender pursuant to this Agreement to assignees or participants and potential assignees or participants hereunder in accordance with standard banking practices (provided such Persons are advised of the provisions of this §18.7).  The Agent and each Lender agrees for itself that it shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with its customary procedures to hold confidential all non-public information obtained from the Borrower or any Guarantor that has been identified in writing as confidential by any of them, and shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with its customary procedures to not disclose such information to any other Person, it being understood and agreed that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent and/or a Lender may make (a) disclosures to its participants (provided such Persons are advised of the provisions of this §18.7), (b) disclosures to its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, accountants, appraisers, legal counsel and other professional advisors of the Agent or such Lender (provided that such Persons who are not employees of the Agent or such Lender are advised of the provision of this §18.7), (c) disclosures customarily provided or reasonably required by any potential or actual bona fide assignee, transferee or participant or their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, accountants, appraisers, legal counsel and other professional advisors in connection with a potential or actual assignment or transfer by such Lender of any Loans or any participations therein (provided such Persons are advised of the provisions of this §18.7), (d) disclosures to bank regulatory authorities or self-regulatory bodies with jurisdiction over such Lender, or (e) disclosures required or requested by any other Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process; provided that, unless specifically prohibited by Applicable Law or court order, the Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, shall notify the Borrower of any request by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof prior to disclosure by the Agent or such Lender (other than any such request in connection with any examination or oversight of such Lender by such Governmental Authority or other requests by regulators that are not part of an examination) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information.  In addition, each Lender may make disclosure of such information to any contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisors (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisors agree to be bound by the provisions of this §18.7).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Agent nor any Lender shall disclose such non-public information to a Competitor REIT in connection with any such proposed assignment or participation unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or the Borrower has consented to such disclosure (or is deemed to have consented pursuant to §18.1). In addition, the Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments. Non-public information shall not include any information which is or subsequently becomes publicly available other than as a result of a disclosure of such information by a Lender or the Agent, or prior to the delivery to the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, is within the possession of the Agent or such Lender if such information is not known by the Agent or such Lender to be subject to another confidentiality agreement with or other obligations of secrecy to the Borrower or the Guarantors, is or becomes available to the Agent, any Lender or any of their Affiliates on a non-confidential basis, or is disclosed with the prior approval of the Borrower or the Guarantors.  Nothing herein shall prohibit the disclosure of non-public information to the extent necessary to enforce the Loan Documents.
§18.8Mandatory Assignment.  In the event the Borrower requests that certain amendments, modifications or waivers be made to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents which request requires approval of all of the Lenders or all of the Lenders directly affected thereby or another group of requisite Lenders and is approved by the Majority Lenders, 
    146    

but is either (x) expressly disapproved by one or more of the Lenders, or (y) any such Lender fails to respond to such request within thirty (30) days after the Agent provides notice to such Lender (which notice shall be delivered by the Agent promptly upon request by the Borrower thereof) that such Lender shall be subject to the Non-Consenting Lender provisions of this §18.8 if it fails to respond to such request within such thirty (30) day period (any such non-consenting Lender shall hereafter be referred to as the “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, within thirty (30) Business Days after the Borrower’s receipt of notice of such disapproval, or such failure to respond within the thirty (30) day period prescribed in clause (y) above, by such Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrower shall have the right as to such Non-Consenting Lender, to be exercised by delivery of written notice delivered to the Agent and the Non-Consenting Lender within thirty (30) Business Days of receipt of such notice, to elect to cause the Non-Consenting Lender to transfer its Loans and Commitment.  The Agent shall promptly notify the remaining Lenders that each of such Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire a portion of the Loans and Commitment, pro rata based upon their relevant Commitment Percentages, of the Non-Consenting Lender (or if any of such Lenders does not elect to purchase its pro rata share, then to such remaining Lenders in such proportion as approved by the Agent).  In the event that the Lenders do not elect to acquire all of the Non-Consenting Lender’s Loans and Commitment, then the Agent shall endeavor to find a new Lender or Lenders to acquire such remaining Loans and Commitment.  Upon any such purchase of the Loans and Commitment of the Non-Consenting Lender, the Non-Consenting Lender’s interests in the Obligations and its rights hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall terminate at the date of purchase, and the Non-Consenting Lender shall promptly execute and deliver any and all documents reasonably requested by the Agent to surrender and transfer such interest, including, without limitation, an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and such Non-Consenting Lender’s original Note.  If such Non-Consenting Lender does not execute and deliver to the Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and/or such other documentation reasonably requested by the Agent to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser or assignee thereof within a period of time deemed reasonable by the Agent after the later of (i) the date on which such purchaser or assignee executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and/or such other documentation and (ii) the date on which the Non-Consenting Lender receives all payments required to be paid to it by this §18.8, then such Non-Consenting Lender shall, to the extent permissible by Applicable Law, be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and/or such other documentation as of such date and the Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Non-Consenting Lender.  Notwithstanding anything in this §18.8 to the contrary, any Lender or other Lender assignee acquiring some or all of the assigned Loans and Commitment of the Non-Consenting Lender must consent to the proposed amendment, modification or waiver. The purchase price for the Non-Consenting Lender’s Loans and Commitment shall equal any and all amounts outstanding and owed by the Borrower to the Non-Consenting Lender, including principal and all accrued and unpaid interest or fees, plus any applicable amounts payable pursuant to §4.7 which would be owed to such Non-Consenting Lender if the Loans were to be repaid in full on the date of such purchase of the Non-Consenting Lender’s Loans and Commitment (provided that the Borrower may pay to such Non-Consenting Lender any interest, fees or other amounts (other than principal) owing to such Non-Consenting Lender).
§18.9Amendments to Loan Documents.  Upon any such assignment, the Borrower and the Guarantors shall, upon the request of the Agent, enter into such documents as may be reasonably required by the Agent to modify the Loan Documents to reflect such assignment.
§18.10Titled Agents.  The Titled Agents shall not have any additional rights or obligations under the Loan Documents, except for those rights, if any, as a Lender.

The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to Applicable Law, have the same force and effect as an original copy with manual signatures and shall be binding on the Borrower, the Guarantors, Approved JVs, the Agent and Lenders.  The Agent may also require that any such documents and signature delivered by facsimile or “PDF” format by electronic mail be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver any such manually-signed original shall not affect the effectiveness of any facsimile or “PDF” document or signature.

The Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.  Unless the Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, e-mail or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient. 
§20.RELATIONSHIP.
Neither the Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or fiduciary duty to the Borrower, any Guarantor or their respective Subsidiaries arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder, and the relationship between each Lender and the Agent, and the Borrower is solely 
    149    

that of a lender and borrower, and nothing contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents shall in any manner be construed as making the parties hereto partners, joint venturers or any other relationship other than lender and borrower.

THE BORROWER FURTHER AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH SUIT MAY BE MADE UPON THE BORROWER IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN §19.

No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto.

    (iii)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
§35.WAIVER OF CLAIMS.

§36.CONSENT TO AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT; EFFECT OF AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT.  
Pursuant to §27 of the Existing Credit Agreement, KeyBank as the Agent under the Existing Credit Agreement and each Lender hereby consents to the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the amendment or amendment and restatement of the other “Loan Documents” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement), and by execution hereof the Lenders authorize the Agent to enter into such agreements.  On the Closing Date, the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety by this Agreement, and the Existing Credit Agreement, except as specifically set forth herein, shall thereafter be of no further force and effect and shall be deemed replaced and superseded in all respects by this Agreement.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that this Agreement does not constitute a novation or termination of the “Obligations” under the Existing Credit Agreement, which remain outstanding as of the Closing Date.  All interest and fees accrued and unpaid under the Existing Credit Agreement as of the date of this Agreement shall be due and payable in the amount determined pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement for periods prior to the Closing Date on the next payment date for such interest or fee set forth in this Agreement.
§37.ACKNOWLEDGEMENT REGARDING ANY SUPPORTED QFCs.  
To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for  a Derivatives Contract or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
    155    

In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support. 
§38.ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES.  Without limiting the provisions set forth in §19(b), delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement or any other Loan Document by facsimile or as an attachment to an electronic mail message in .pdf, .jpeg, .TIFF or similar electronic format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement of such other Loan Document for all purposes.  The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any Applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that nothing herein shall require the Agent to accept electronic signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent.

execution and delivery hereof.  Payments under or with respect to the Distributions shall be made as follows:
i.Assignor shall not have any right to receive payments made under or with respect to the Distributions (including, without limitation, any Distributions from or relating to any sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance, option or other disposition of, or any pledge, mortgage, encumbrance, financing or refinancing of, or casualty to or condemnation of, any of the Collateral or any real or personal property of any Company or any Person in which a Company may directly or indirectly own any interest (collectively the “Property”), or upon any redemption or conversion of the Collateral, regardless of whether such event is permitted under the terms of the Loan Documents), and all such payments shall be delivered directly by the Companies, as applicable, to the Agent for application by the Agent in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

ii.If Assignor shall receive any payments made under or with respect to the Distributions (including, without limitation, any Distributions from or relating to any sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance, option or other disposition of, or any pledge, mortgage, encumbrance, financing or refinancing of, or payment of, or casualty to or condemnation of, any of the Collateral or the Property, or upon any redemption or conversion of the Collateral, regardless of whether such event is permitted under the terms of the Loan Documents), Assignor shall hold all such payments in trust for the Agent, will not commingle such payments with other funds of Assignor, and will immediately pay and deliver in kind, all such payments directly to the Agent (with such endorsements and assignments as may be necessary to transfer title to the Agent) for application by the Agent in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

iii.Assignor hereby agrees for the benefit of each of the Companies and any member or partner thereof, that all payments actually received by the Agent hereunder or pursuant hereto shall be deemed payments to Assignor by the respective Company, as the case may be, the Agent shall apply any and all such payments actually received by the Agent in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

iv.In furtherance of the foregoing, Assignor does hereby notify and direct each of the Companies and their members and partners that all payments under or with respect to the Distributions shall be made directly to the Agent at the address of the Agent set forth herein.

(b)To the extent permitted by law, Assignor hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Agent its true and lawful attorney in fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable, either in the name of the Agent, or in the name of Assignor, at Assignor’s sole cost and expense, and regardless of whether or not the Agent becomes a member or partner in any of the Companies, to take any or all of the following actions, provided, however, that no such action shall be permitted or undertaken by the Agent unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

i.to ask, demand, sue for, attach, levy, settle, compromise, collect, compound, recover, receive and give receipt and acquittances for any and all Collateral and to 
    K-4    

take any and all actions as the Agent may deem necessary or desirable in order to realize upon the Collateral, or any portion thereof, including, without limitation, making any statements and doing and taking any actions on behalf of Assignor which are otherwise required of Assignor under the terms of any agreement as conditions precedent to the payment of the Distributions, and the right and power to receive, endorse, assign and deliver in the name of Assignor, any checks, notes, drafts, instruments and other evidences of payment received in payment of or on account of all or any portion of the Collateral and Assignor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest, and notice of demand, protest and non-payment of any instrument so endorsed; and

ii.to institute one or more actions against any of the Companies or any member or partner thereof in connection with the collection of the Collateral, to prosecute to judgment, settle or dismiss any such actions, and to make any compromise or settlement deemed desirable, in the Agent’s sole and absolute discretion, with respect to such Distributions, to extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in installments or otherwise modify the terms of any of the Organizational Agreements of any Company with respect to the Distributions or release of any of the Companies or any member or partner thereof, respectively, from their respective obligations to pay any Distribution, without incurring responsibility to, or affecting any liability of, Assignor under any of such Organizational Agreements;

it being specifically understood and agreed, however, that the Agent shall not be obligated in any manner whatsoever to give any notices of default (except as specifically required herein or in the other Loan Documents) or to exercise any such power or authority or be in any way responsible for the preservation, maintenance, collection of or realizing upon the Collateral, or any portion thereof or any of Assignor’s rights therein.  The foregoing appointment is irrevocable and continuing and any such rights, powers and privileges shall be exclusive in the Agent, its successors and assigns until this Assignment terminates as provided in Section 14 hereof.

(c)Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4 to the contrary, Assignor shall have a right (revocable upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default) to receive any Distributions as permitted under the Credit Agreement so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a result of the making of such Distributions or Assignor’s receipt thereof.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no such income to be distributed shall be attributable to rents, accounts, accounts receivable, fees or other amounts paid more than one (1) month in advance, and provided further that such amounts to be distributed shall not include any proceeds of any sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance, option or other disposition of, or any mortgage, hypothecation, encumbrance, financing or refinancing of, or casualty or condemnation of, any of the Properties, or any other Person in which it directly or indirectly holds an interest, any principal payments of any notes receivable, any amounts otherwise required by the terms of the Loan Documents to be paid to the Agent or any other items of income which are extraordinary or of a non-recurring nature.

5.Warranties and Covenants.  Assignor does hereby warrant and represent to, and covenant and agree with the Agent, as follows:

(e)Each of the Companies is a limited liability company duly formed and validly existing under the laws of the State identified on Exhibit “A” attached hereto.

    K-5    

(f)All duties, obligations and responsibilities required to be performed by Assignor or any other Company as of the date hereof under any of the Organizational Agreements of any Company have been performed, and no default or condition which with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default exists under any of such Organizational Agreements.

(g)None of the Membership Interests are evidenced by any certificate, instrument, document or other writing other than the Certificates and Organizational Agreements of the Companies, as the case may be.  The Certificates have been duly authorized and validly issued, and are fully paid and non assessable.

(h)This Assignment has been duly executed and delivered by Assignor and constitutes the valid, legal and binding obligation of Assignor, except as enforceability is limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights and general principles of equity.  No Person has or shall have any right to exercise any voting or management rights with respect to any Company except for any officer of a Company, as to which a “Resignation Letter” (as defined below) has been delivered to the Agent.

(i)A certified copy of each of the Organizational Agreements of each Company, together with all amendments thereto, has been delivered to the Agent and such Organizational Agreements have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Assignor and have not been modified, amended or supplemented except as indicated on Exhibit “A”.

(j)[Reserved].

(k)Assignor is and shall remain the sole lawful, beneficial and record owner of the Collateral, which Assignor has hereby granted a security interest in to the Agent free and clear of all liens, restrictions, Adverse Claims, pledges, encumbrances, charges, rights of third parties and rights of set off or recoupment whatsoever (other than those in favor of the Agent hereunder), and Assignor has the full and complete right, power and authority to grant a security interest in the Collateral in favor of the Agent, in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Assignment.  The term “Adverse Claims” shall mean, with respect to any item of property, any and all claims, liens, security interests, charges, options, rights, restrictions on transfer or pledge, covenants and encumbrances of any kind affecting the item of property, including (if applicable) “adverse claims” as such term is defined in Section 8-102 of the Uniform Commercial Code, other than the liens and security interests created in favor of the Agent pursuant to this Assignment.  Each Company is and shall remain the sole, lawful, beneficial and record owner of the ownership interest described in Schedule 1 attached hereto and made a part hereof in each Person identified on such Schedule 1 as being owned (in whole or in part) by such Company, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, claims, pledges, encumbrances, charges, rights of third parties and rights of setoff or recoupment whatsoever.  No Company owns or will own any assets other than the applicable assets described in Schedule 1 attached hereto (except for any furniture, fixtures, equipment and cash related to, or used in the ordinary operation of, the Eligible Real Estate directly or indirectly owned or leased by such Company).  Assignor is not and will not become a party to or otherwise be bound by or subject to any agreement, other than the Credit Agreement, which restricts in any manner the rights of any present or future holder of 
    K-6    

such Collateral with respect thereto.  No Person has any option, right of first refusal, right of first offer or other right to acquire all or any portion of the Collateral.

(l)Except with respect to any Membership Interests which have been released in accordance with the Credit Agreement, Assignor is and shall remain the sole lawful, beneficial and record owner of the Membership Interests, which Assignor has hereby granted a security interest to the Agent and no other person or entity owns or shall own any legal, equitable or beneficial interest in such Companies or any other Person in which any of such Companies may directly or indirectly own an interest or has or shall have any right to vote or exercise control over such Companies or any other Person in which any of such Companies may directly or indirectly own an interest or their management.  Assignor has fully funded all of its capital contributions required pursuant to the applicable Organizational Agreements of each of the Companies, and Assignor has no further obligation to contribute capital to such Companies.

(m)This Assignment, together with the UCC financing statements, and the Certificates and powers delivered to the Agent (such powers to be in the form of Exhibit “D” attached hereto), creates a valid and binding first priority security interest in the Collateral securing the payment of the Secured Obligations and the performance by Assignor of its obligations under the Loan Documents and this Assignment, and all filings and other actions necessary to perfect such security interests have been duly made and taken.  Neither Assignor nor any other Person has performed, nor will Assignor perform, or cause or permit any other Person to perform, any acts which could reasonably be expected to prevent the Agent from enforcing any of the terms and conditions of this Assignment or which would limit the Agent in any such enforcement.

(n)All original notes and other documents or instruments evidencing, constituting, guaranteeing or securing any of the Distributions or any right to receive the Distributions have been endorsed to and delivered to the Agent.

(o)Assignor consents to the admission of the Agent or any other purchaser of any of the Membership Interests upon a foreclosure sale as a substitute member or partner of a Company, with all of the rights and privileges of a member under the applicable Organizational Agreement in the event that the Agent exercises its rights under this Assignment and the Agent or such other purchaser succeeds to ownership of all or any portion of the Membership Interests.

(p)(i) Assignor’s correct legal name (including, without limitation, punctuation and spacing) indicated on the public organic record of Assignor’s jurisdiction, mailing address, identity or corporate structure, residence or chief executive office, jurisdiction of organization, organizational identification number, and federal tax identification number, are as set forth on Exhibit “C” attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof, (ii) Assignor has been using or operating under said name, identity or corporate structure without change for the time period set forth on Exhibit “C” attached hereto, and (iii) in order to perfect the pledge and security interests granted herein against Assignor, a U.C.C. Financing Statement must be filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware.  Assignor covenants and agrees that Assignor shall not change any of the matters addressed by clauses (i) (with respect to Assignor’s correct legal name as indicated on the public organic record of Assignor’s jurisdiction) and (ii) of this Section 5(m) unless it has given the Agent thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any such change and caused to be filed at the request of the Agent, or authorized the Agent or the Agent’s counsel to file, such additional financing statements or other instruments to be filed in such jurisdictions as the Agent may deem necessary or advisable in its sole discretion to prevent any filed financing statement from becoming misleading or losing its perfected status.

(q)Assignor agrees to do such further acts and things, and to execute and deliver such additional conveyances, assignments, agreements, documents, endorsements, 
    K-7    

assurances and instruments as the Agent may reasonably at any time request in connection with the administration or enforcement of this Assignment or related to the Collateral or any part thereof or in order to better assure and confirm unto the Agent its rights, powers and remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, the protection and perfection of the Agent’s security interest in the Collateral.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at any time and from time to time, Assignor shall, at the request of the Agent, make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver or authorize the execution and delivery of and where appropriate, cause to be recorded and/or filed and from time to time thereafter to be re-recorded and/or refiled at such time in such offices and places as shall be deemed desirable by the Agent all such other and further assignments, security agreements, financing statements, continuation statements, endorsements, assurances, certificates and other documents as the Agent from time to time may require for the better assuring, conveying, assigning and confirming to the Agent the Collateral and the rights hereby conveyed or assigned or intended now or hereafter to be conveyed or assigned, and for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Assignment.  Upon any failure of Assignor to do so, the Agent may make, execute, record, file, rerecord and/or refile, acknowledge and deliver any and all such further assignments, security agreements, financing statements, continuation statements, endorsements, assurances, instruments, certificates and documents for and in the name of Assignor, and Assignor hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent as the agent and attorney-in-fact with full power of substitutions of Assignor so to do.  This power is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

(r)Exhibit “C” correctly sets forth all names and tradenames that Assignor has used within the last five years, and also correctly sets forth the locations of all of the chief executive offices of Assignor over the last five years.

(s)Assignor shall, at any time and from time to time, take such steps as the Agent may reasonably request for the Agent (1) to obtain an acknowledgment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, of any bailee having possession of any of the Collateral, stating that the bailee holds possession of such Collateral on behalf of the Agent to the extent it is included in the Collateral (2) to obtain “control” of any investment property, deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights, or electronic chattel paper (as such terms are defined by the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the State of New York (the “UCC”) with corresponding provisions thereof defining what constitutes “control” for such items of collateral) in each case which are included as Collateral, with any agreements establishing control to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, and (3) otherwise to insure the continued perfection and priority of the Agent’s security interest in any of the Collateral and of the preservation of its rights therein.  If Assignor shall at any time, acquire a “commercial tort claim” (as such term is defined in the UCC with respect to the Collateral or any portion thereof), Assignor shall promptly notify the Agent thereof in writing, providing a reasonable description and summary thereof, and shall execute a supplement to this Assignment in form and substance acceptable to the Agent granting a security interest in such commercial tort claim to the Agent.

(t)Assignor hereby authorizes the Agent, its counsel or its representative, at any time and from time to time, to file financing statements, amendments and continuations that describe or relate to the Collateral or any portion thereof in such jurisdictions as the Agent may deem necessary or desirable in order to perfect the security interests granted by Assignor under this Assignment or any other Loan Document, and such financing statements may contain, among other items as the Agent may deem advisable to include therein, the federal tax identification number and state organizational number of Assignor.

(u)The transactions contemplated by this Assignment do not violate and do not require that any filing, registration or other act be taken with respect to any and all laws pertaining to the registration or transfer of securities, including without limitation the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and any and all 
    K-8    

rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or any similar federal, state or local law, rule, regulation or orders (collectively, the “Applicable Law”) hereafter enacted or analogous in effect, as the same are amended and in effect from time to time (hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Securities Laws”).  Assignor shall at all times comply with the Securities Laws as the same pertain to all or any portion of the Collateral or any of the transactions contemplated by this Assignment.

(v)[Reserved].

(w)[Reserved].

(x)Each of the Organizational Agreements of any Company that has issued Certificates provides that the Equity Interests governed thereby are securities governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction.

Assignor shall cause each other Company which owns an interest in any other Company to perform in all material respects its duties, responsibilities and obligations under each of the Organizational Agreements of the applicable Company of which such Company is a member or partner.
    K-9

(ae)[Reserved]. 

(af)If any amounts are due from any of the Companies to Assignor, including, without limitation, any amounts in respect of Distributions payable to Assignor in the future, and the obligations to pay or repay such amount is to be evidenced by a separate document or instrument, then as evidence of such obligations, Assignor shall cause such Company to issue Assignor, as the evidence of any obligations of such Company to pay Distributions to Assignor in the future, a promissory note bearing the legend attached hereto as Exhibit “B”, which note shall provide that all payments due under such promissory note are to be paid directly to the Agent to the extent required by and applied as provided in this Assignment until the Secured Obligations are paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) and the Lenders have no further obligation to make any advances under the Credit Agreement or this Assignment is otherwise terminated as provided herein.  No other evidence of such obligations shall be executed by such Company to Assignor.

(ag)Assignor shall promptly deliver to the Agent any note or other document or instrument entered into after the date hereof which evidences, constitutes, guarantees or secures any of the Distributions or any right to receive a Distribution, which notes or other documents and instruments shall be accompanied by such endorsements or assignments as the Agent may require to transfer title to the Agent.

(ai)Assignor will provide to the Agent such documents and reports respecting the Collateral in such form and detail as the Agent may reasonably request from time to time.

    K-10    

(ak)Assignor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Agent, which consent may be withheld by the Agent in its sole and absolute discretion, take or permit to be taken any action which could result in the sale, reduction, cancellation, dilution, diminution, conversion or withdrawal of any interest of Assignor in any of the Companies or in any Person in which any of the Companies owns an interest, or omit to take any action necessary to prevent any such sale, reduction, cancellation, dilution, diminution, conversion or withdrawal, or otherwise take any action or omit to take any action that would, in the exercise of the Agent’s judgment, jeopardize or diminish the security interests or rights and benefits afforded to the Agent by the Collateral.

Without limiting the provisions of this Assignment that provide that a change in any such officer is an Event of Default, Assignor shall immediately notify the Agent of any change in any such officer, or the addition of any other Person as an officer, and shall cause each officer of the Company that may be appointed after the date hereof to deliver to the Agent within ten (10) days of such appointment or election a Resignation Letter satisfactory to the Agent.

7.Substitution, Exchanges, Additional Interest. If Assignor shall at any time be entitled to receive or shall receive any cash, certificate or other property, option or right, upon, in respect of, as an addition to, or in substitution or exchange for any of the Collateral, whether for value paid by Assignor or otherwise, Assignor agrees that the same shall be deemed to be Collateral and shall be delivered directly to the Agent in each case, accompanied by proper instruments of assignment and powers duly executed by Assignor in such a form as may be required by the Agent, to be held by the Agent subject to the terms hereof, as further security for the Secured Obligations (except as otherwise provided herein with respect to the application of the foregoing to the Secured Obligations).  If Assignor receives any of the foregoing directly, Assignor agrees to hold such cash or other property in trust for the benefit of the Agent, and to surrender such cash or other property to the Agent immediately.  In the event that Assignor purchases or otherwise acquires or obtains any additional interest in the Companies or any rights or options to acquire such interest, all rights to receive profits, proceeds, accounts, income, dividends, distributions or other payments as a result of such additional interest, rights and options shall automatically be deemed to be a part of the Collateral.  All certificates, if any, representing such interests shall be promptly delivered to the Agent, together with assignments related thereto, or other instruments appropriate to transfer a certificate representing any such interest, duly executed in blank.  This Section 7 is subject to the terms of Section 4(d) of this Assignment.

8.Events of Default.  An Event of Default shall exist hereunder upon the occurrence of any of the following:

(am)Assignor shall fail to duly and fully comply with any covenant, condition or agreement in Section 5(a), 6(a), 6(c),  6(h), 6(i), 6(m) or 7 of this Assignment;

(an)Assignor shall fail to, or Assignor shall fail to cause any other Person, to duly and fully comply with any covenant, condition or agreement of this Assignment (other than those specified in subsection (a) above or any default excluded from any provision of a grace 
    K-11    

period or cure of defaults contained in any other of the Loan Documents) and such failure is not cured in the applicable time period provided in the Credit Agreement;

(ao)The occurrence of an Event of Default under any of the other Loan Documents;

(ap)Any amendment to or termination of a financing statement naming Assignor as debtor and the Agent as secured party, or any correction statement with respect thereto, is filed in any jurisdiction by, or caused by, or at the instance of Assignor or by, or caused by, or at the instance of any principal, member, partner, shareholder or officer of Assignor without the prior written consent of the Agent; or

(aq)Any amendment to or termination of a financing statement naming Assignor as debtor and the Agent as secured party, or any correction statement with respect thereto, is filed in any jurisdiction by any party other than the Agent or the Agent’s counsel without the prior written consent of the Agent and the effect of such filing is not completely nullified to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agent within ten (10) days after notice to Assignor thereof.

9.Remedies.

(ar)Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Agent may take any action deemed by the Agent to be necessary or appropriate to the enforcement of the rights and remedies of the Agent under this Assignment and the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to any or all of the Collateral.  The remedies of the Agent shall include, without limitation, all rights and remedies specified in the Loan Documents and this Assignment, all remedies of the Agent under applicable general or statutory law, and the remedies of a secured party under the UCC, regardless of whether the UCC has been enacted or enacted in that form in any other jurisdiction in which such right or remedy is asserted.  In addition to such other remedies as may exist from time to time, whether by way of set off, banker’s lien, consensual security interest or otherwise, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Agent is authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to or demand upon Assignor (any such notice or demand being expressly waived by Assignor) to charge any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by the Agent to or for the credit of or the account of Assignor against any and all of the Secured Obligations, irrespective of whether or not the Agent shall have made any demand for payment and although such Secured Obligations may be unmatured.  Any notice required by law, including, but not limited to, notice of the intended disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral, shall be reasonable and properly given if given in the manner prescribed for the giving of notice herein, and, in the case of any notice of disposition, if given at least ten (10) days prior to such disposition.  The Agent may require Assignor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Agent at any place to be designated by the Agent which is reasonably convenient to both parties.  It is expressly understood and agreed that the Agent shall be entitled to dispose of the Collateral at any public or private sale or sales, without recourse to judicial proceedings and without either demand, appraisement, advertisement or notice (except as such notice as is otherwise required under this Assignment) of any kind, all of which are expressly waived, and that the Agent shall be entitled to bid and purchase at any such sale.  In the event that the Agent is the successful bidder at any public or private sale of any note or other document or instrument evidencing Assignor’s right to receive a Distribution, the Agent shall be entitled to credit the amount bid by the Agent against the obligations evidenced by such note, document or instrument rather than the Secured Obligations.  In the event that the Agent is the successful bidder at any public or private sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof, the amount bid by the Agent may be credited against the Secured Obligations as provided in the Credit Agreement.  To the extent the Collateral consists 
    K-12    

of marketable securities, the Agent shall not be obligated to sell such securities for the highest price obtainable, but shall sell them at the market price available on the date of sale. The Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Collateral if it shall determine not to do so regardless of the fact that notice of sale of the Collateral may have been given.  The Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned.  Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral sold absolutely free from claim or right on the part of Assignor.  In the event that any consent, approval or authorization of any governmental agency or commission will be necessary to effectuate any such sale or sales, Assignor shall execute all such applications or other instruments as the Agent may deem reasonably necessary to obtain such consent, approval or authorization.  The Agent may notify any account debtor or obligor with respect to the Collateral to make payment directly to the Agent, and may demand, collect, receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust, sue for, foreclose or realize upon the Collateral as the Agent may determine whether or not the Secured Obligations or the Collateral are due, and for the purpose of realizing the Agent’s rights therein, the Agent may receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to Assignor and endorse notes, checks, drafts, money orders, documents of title or other evidences of payment, shipment or storage of any form of Collateral on behalf and in the name of Assignor, as its attorney in fact.  In addition, Assignor hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Agent its true and lawful attorney-in-fact either in the name of the Agent or Assignor to (i) sign Assignor’s name on any Collateral, drafts against account debtors, assignments, any proof of claim in any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding involving any account debtor, any notice of lien, claim of lien or assignment or satisfaction of lien, or on any financing statement or continuation statement under the UCC; (ii) send verifications of accounts receivable to any account debtor; and (iii) in connection with a transfer of the Collateral as described above, sign in Assignor’s name any documents necessary to transfer title to the Collateral to the Agent or any third party.  All acts of said attorney in fact are hereby ratified and approved and the Agent shall not be liable for any mistake of law or fact made in connection therewith.  This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable so long as any amounts remain unpaid on any of the Secured Obligations.  All remedies of the Agent shall be cumulative to the full extent provided by law, all without liability except to account for property actually received, but the Agent shall have no duty to exercise such rights and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.  Pursuit by the Agent of certain judicial or other remedies shall not abate nor bar other remedies with respect to the Secured Obligations or to other portions of the Collateral.  The Agent may exercise its rights to the Collateral without resorting or regard to other collateral or sources of security or reimbursement for the Secured Obligations.  In the event that any transfer tax, deed tax, conveyance tax or similar tax is payable in connection with the foreclosure, conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise of the Membership Interests or other Collateral, Assignor shall pay such amount to the Agent upon demand and if Assignor fails to pay such amount on demand, the Agent may advance such amount on behalf of Assignor and the amount thereof shall become a part of the Secured Obligations and bear interest at the Default Rate until paid.

(as)If Assignor fails to perform any agreement or covenant contained in this Assignment beyond any applicable period for notice and cure, the Agent may itself perform, or cause to be performed, any agreement or covenant of Assignor contained in this Assignment which Assignor shall fail to perform, and the cost of such performance, together with any expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred (including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in any appeal) by the Agent in connection therewith, shall be payable by Assignor upon demand and shall constitute a part of the Secured Obligations and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

(at)Whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and whether or not the Agent is the absolute owner of the Collateral, the Agent may take such action as the Agent may 
    K-13    

deem necessary to protect the Collateral or its security interest therein, the Agent being hereby authorized to pay, purchase, contest and compromise any encumbrance, charge or lien which in the reasonable judgment of the Agent appears to be prior or superior to its security interest, and in exercising any such powers and authority to pay necessary expenses, employ counsel and pay reasonable attorney’s fees.  Any such advances made or expenses incurred by the Agent shall be deemed advanced under the Loan Documents, shall increase the indebtedness evidenced and secured thereby, shall be payable upon demand and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

(au)Any certificates or securities held by the Agent as Collateral hereunder may, at any time, and at the option of the Agent, be registered in the name of the Agent or its nominee, endorsed or assigned in blank or in the name of any nominee and the Agent may deliver any or all of the Collateral to the issuer or issuers thereof for the purpose of making denominational exchanges or registrations or transfer or for such other purposes in furtherance of this Assignment as the Agent may deem desirable.  Except as provided in the immediately succeeding sentence, Assignor shall retain the right to vote any of the Collateral, as applicable, or exercise membership or partnership rights, as applicable, in a manner not inconsistent with the terms of this Assignment and the other Loan Documents, and the Agent hereby grants to Assignor its proxy to enable Assignor to so vote any of the Collateral or exercise such membership or partnership rights, as applicable (except that Assignor shall not have any right to exercise any such power if the exercise thereof would violate or result in a violation of any of the terms of this Assignment or any of the other Loan Documents).  At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Agent or its nominee shall, upon notice to Assignor and the applicable Company, automatically have the sole and exclusive right to give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect of the Collateral about which the Agent has notified Assignor and such Company and exercise all voting and other membership, partnership, management, approval or other rights at any meeting of the members or partners of such Company (and the right to call such meetings) or otherwise (and to give written consents in lieu of voting thereon) (collectively, the “Voting Rights”), and exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any of the rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Collateral and otherwise act with respect thereto and thereunder as if the Agent or its nominee were the absolute owner thereof (all of such rights of Assignor ceasing to exist and terminating upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default) including, without limitation, the right to exchange, at its discretion, any and all of such Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or the readjustment of the issuer thereof, all without liability except to account for property actually received and in such manner as the Agent shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion, but the Agent shall have no duty to exercise any of the aforesaid rights, privileges or options and shall not be responsible for the failure to do so or delay in so doing.  The exercise by the Agent of any of its rights and remedies under this Section 9(d) shall not be deemed a disposition of collateral under Article 9 of the UCC nor an acceptance by the Agent of any of the Collateral in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations.

(av)Upon the written demand of the Agent following the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Assignor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Agent or the Agent’s designee all books, records, contracts, Leases, other loan documents, files and other correspondence relating to each Company, any other Person in which any Company has an ownership interest, or any other property owned by any Company or such other Person.

(aw)Notwithstanding anything in this Assignment or any other Loan Document to the contrary, any reference in this Assignment or any other Loan Document to “the continuance of a default” or “the continuance of an Event of Default” or any similar phrase shall not create or be deemed to create any right of Assignor or any other party to cure any default following the expiration of any applicable grace or notice and cure period.
    K-14    

10.Duties of the Agent.  The powers conferred on the Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers.  The Agent’s duty with reference to the Collateral shall be solely to use slight care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral, which shall not include any steps necessary to preserve rights against prior parties.  The Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for the collection of any Collateral or by reason of any invalidity, lack of value or uncollectability of any of the payments received by it.

11.No Obligations.  It is specifically understood and agreed that this Assignment shall not operate to place any responsibility or obligation whatsoever upon the Agent or any of the Lenders, or cause the Agent or any of the Lenders to be, or to be deemed to be, a member or partner in any of the Companies and that in accepting this Assignment, the Agent and the Lenders neither assume nor agree to perform at any time whatsoever any obligation or duty of Assignor relating to the Collateral or under any of the Organizational Agreements of the Companies or any other mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement or instrument to which the Companies are a party or to which they are subject, all of which obligations and duties shall be and remain with and upon Assignor.

12.Security Interest Absolute.  All rights of the Agent, and the security interests hereunder, and all of the obligations secured hereby, shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of:

(ax)Any lack of validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(ay)Any change in the time (including any extension of the maturity date of the Note), manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Loan Documents;

(az)Any exchange, release or nonperfection of any other collateral for the Secured Obligations, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any part of the Secured Obligations; or

(ba)Any other circumstance (other than payment of the Secured Obligations in full) that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, [Borrower,] Assignor, any Company or any third party for the Secured Obligations or any part thereof.

13.Amendments and Waivers.  No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Assignment nor consent to any departure therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Agent and Assignor, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.  No delay or omission of the Agent to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default, or acquiescence therein; and every right, power and remedy given by this Assignment to the Agent may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Agent.  Failure on the part of the Agent to complain of any act or failure to act which constitutes an Event of Default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by the Agent of the Agent’s rights hereunder or impair any rights, powers or remedies consequent on any Event of Default.  Assignor hereby waives to the extent permitted by law all rights which Assignor has or may have under and by virtue of the UCC and any federal, state, county or municipal statute, regulation, ordinance, Constitution or charter, now or hereafter existing, similar in effect thereto providing any right of Assignor to 
    K-15    

notice and to a judicial hearing prior to seizure by the Agent of any of the Collateral.  Assignor hereby waives and renounces for itself, its heirs, successors and assigns, presentment, demand, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except for any notice required by law or the Loan Documents) and all rights to the benefits of any statute of limitations and any moratorium, reinstatement, marshaling, forbearance, valuation, stay, extension, homestead, redemption and appraisement now provided or which may hereafter be provided by the Constitution and laws of the United States and of any state thereof, both as to itself and in and to all of its property, real and personal, against the enforcement of this Assignment and the collection of any of the Secured Obligations.

14.Continuing Security Interest; Transfer of Note; Release of Collateral.  This Assignment shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) and the Lenders have no further obligation to make any advances or issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement, (b) be binding upon Assignor and its permitted heirs, successors and assigns, and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors, transferees and assigns.  Upon the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) and the termination or expiration of any obligation of the Lenders to make further advances or issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Assignor.  Upon any such termination, the Agent will, at Assignor’s expense, execute and deliver to Assignor such documents as Assignor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

15.Modifications, Etc.  Assignor hereby consents and agrees that the Agent may at any time and from time to time, without notice to or further consent from Assignor, either with or without consideration, surrender any property or other security of any kind or nature whatsoever held by it or by any person, firm or corporation on its behalf or for its account, securing the Secured Obligations; substitute for any Collateral so held by it, other collateral of like kind; agree to modification of the terms of the Loan Documents; extend or renew the Loan Documents for any period; grant releases, compromises and indulgences with respect to the Loan Documents for any period; grant releases, compromises and indulgences with respect to the Loan Documents to any persons or entities now or hereafter liable thereunder or hereunder; release any guarantor, endorser or any other person or entity liable with respect to the Secured Obligations; or take or fail to take any action of any type whatsoever; and no such action which the Agent shall take or fail to take in connection with the Loan Documents, or any of them, or any security for the payment of the Secured Obligations or for the performance of any obligations or undertakings of Assignor, nor any course of dealing with Assignor or any other person, shall release Assignor’s obligations hereunder, affect this Assignment in any way or afford Assignor any recourse against Lender.

16.Securities Act.  In view of the position of Assignor in relation to the Collateral, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the Securities Laws or the Organizational Agreements of the Companies with respect to any disposition of the Collateral permitted hereunder.  Assignor recognizes that the Organizational Agreements of the Companies strictly limit transfers of the Membership Interests, and the admission of substitute members or partners to the Companies.  Assignor understands that compliance with the Securities Laws and the Organizational Agreements of the Companies might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Agent if the Agent were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Collateral could dispose of the same.  Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Agent in any attempt to dispose of all or part of the Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof under applicable 
    K-16    

Blue Sky or other state securities laws or similar Applicable Law analogous in purpose or effect.  Assignor recognizes that in light of the foregoing restrictions and limitations the Agent may, with respect to any sale of the Collateral, limit the purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Collateral for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof and who are able to satisfy any conditions or requirements set forth in the Organizational Agreements of the Companies and the Agent may sell the Collateral in parcels and at such times and to such Persons as the Agent may reasonably determine is necessary to comply with such conditions or requirements.  Assignor acknowledges and agrees that in light of the foregoing restrictions and limitations, the Agent in its sole and absolute discretion may, in accordance with Applicable Law and the Organizational Agreements of the Companies, (a) proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under the Securities Laws (b) approach and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale and (c) sell the Collateral in parcels and at such times and in such manner to such Persons as the Agent may reasonably determine is necessary to comply with such conditions and requirements.  Assignor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions.  In the event of any such sale, the Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof at a price that the Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good faith deem reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached or if all the Collateral were sold at a single sale.  Assignor further agrees that any sale or sales by the Agent of the Collateral made as provided in this Section 16 shall be commercially reasonable.  The provisions of this Section 16 will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Agent sells.  The Agent and the Lenders shall not be liable to Assignor for any loss in value of the Collateral by reason of any delay in the sale of the Collateral.

17.Governing Law; Terms.  THIS ASSIGNMENT SHALL PURSUANT TO SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OF PROCEDURAL AND SUBSTANTIVE MATTERS RELATING ONLY TO THE CREATION, PERFECTION (OTHER THAN PERFECTION OF A SECURITY INTEREST IN THE CERTIFICATE BY CONTROL THEREOF, WHICH SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE WHERE THE CERTIFICATE IS LOCATED) AND FORECLOSURE OF SECURITY INTERESTS AND LIENS, AND ENFORCEMENT OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AGAINST THE COLLATERAL, WHICH MATTER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

18.Notices.  Each notice, demand, election or request provided for or permitted to be given pursuant to this Assignment (hereinafter in referred to as a “Notice”) must be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given or served if given in the manner prescribed in the Credit Agreement if given to Assignor.

19.Counterparts.  This Assignment and any amendment hereof may be executed in several counterparts and by each party on a separate counterpart, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.  In proving this Assignment it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.

20.No Unwritten Agreements.  THE WRITTEN LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT 
    K-17    

ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.  THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

21.Miscellaneous.  Time is of the essence of this Assignment.  Title or captions of sections or paragraphs hereof are for convenience only and neither limit nor amplify the provisions hereof.  If, for any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Assignment shall involve transcending the limit of validity presently prescribed by applicable law, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity; and if any clause or provision herein operates or would prospectively operate to invalidate this Assignment, in whole or in part, then such clause or provision only shall be held for naught, as though not herein contained, and the remainder of this Assignment shall remain operative and in full force and effect.

FORM OF ASSIGNMENT AND SUBORDINATION OF MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
The undersigned HEALTHCARE TRUST PROPERTIES, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Manager”), which manages, among other properties, the certain real properties described on Exhibit A attached hereto (collectively, the “Property”) on behalf of HEALTHCARE TRUST, INC., a Maryland corporation (“REIT”), HEALTHCARE TRUST OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Borrower”; together with REIT, collectively, the “Owner”), and certain other Subsidiaries of the Borrower, acknowledges that this Assignment and Subordination of Management Agreement (this “Agreement”) is being executed and delivered to satisfy a certain obligation of the Borrower set forth in that certain First Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement dated as of even date herewith (together with all supplements, amendments and restatements thereto, herein referred to as the “Credit Agreement”) among the Borrower, KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (“KeyBank”), individually and as Agent (“Agent”) for itself and the other lending institutions from time to time party to the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Lenders”).  Any capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the same meanings as are ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.
The Owner and the Manager hereby agree with Agent as follows:
1.The Manager acknowledges and understands that this Agreement is being executed and delivered to satisfy a certain obligation of the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement.
2.For purposes hereof, “Management Agreement” shall mean that certain [Amended and Restated Property Management and Leasing Agreement dated as of February 17, 2017], by and among the Manager, REIT and the Borrower, together with all other permitted amendments and supplements thereto.
3.As additional collateral security for the Loan, the Owner hereby conditionally transfers, sets over and assigns to Agent all of the Owner’s rights, title and interest in and to the Management Agreement with respect to the Property, said transfer and assignment to automatically become a present and unconditional assignment, at Agent’s option, upon an Event of Default by the Borrower under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (the “Assignment”).
4.The Manager hereby consents to the Assignment by the Owner of the Owner’s rights, title and interest in and to the Management Agreement with respect to the Property and to each and all of the terms and conditions thereof notwithstanding any terms to the contrary in the Management Agreement.  The Manager agrees that, in the event Agent delivers written notice to the Manager that Agent is exercising its rights under the Assignment to become the “Owner” under the Management Agreement with respect to the Property, or any portion thereof, the Manager will continue, at Agent’s direction, to perform services for Agent with respect to the Property, or such portion thereof, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement, provided that the fees of the Manager which may be due or which thereafter become due for services rendered, reimbursement of fees and expenses and indemnification payments with respect to the Property, or such portion thereof, are paid, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement, irrespective of any contrary instruments, direction or requests from the Owner.  However, it is expressly understood that Agent neither assumes nor has any obligation to the Manager to exercise its rights under the Assignment or to declare a default under any Loan Document.  In the event Agent exercises its rights under the Assignment, the Manager agrees that Agent shall have no obligations or 
    N-1    

liabilities under the Management Agreement or this Agreement for services performed by the Manager prior to the time Agent exercises its rights under the Assignment, but after Agent exercises its rights under the Assignment to succeed to the Owner’s interests under the Management Agreement with respect to the Property, or any portion thereof, Agent shall be obligated for all services subsequently performed with respect to the Property, or such portion thereof, and shall be bound by the terms and provisions contained therein.
5.The Management Agreement, and any rights and claims of the Manager against the Owner thereunder with respect to the Property, is and shall be subject and subordinate in all respects to (a) the Loan Documents and the rights and claims of Agent and the Lenders thereunder, and (b) any and all modifications, amendments, renewals, restatements or substitutions of the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Manager shall be entitled to receive reimbursement of expenses and, on a monthly basis, its management fees for services rendered with respect to the Property in accordance with the Management Agreement pursuant to the payment procedures outlined therein.  This Section 5 shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required.  If requested, however, the Owner or the Manager shall execute and deliver such further instruments as Agent may deem reasonably necessary to effectuate this subordination.
6.In the event that there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Manager shall (a) unless and until terminated by Agent in accordance with Section 7 or by the Manager in accordance with Section 9 below, as applicable, continue performance under the Management Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, (b) not (i) demand or accept any payment under or in respect of the Management Agreement with respect to the Property or (ii) take any action to obtain any interest in any of the security described in and encumbered by the Loan Documents because of any obligation under the Management Agreement and (c) hold any compensation received by the Manager with respect to the Property as trustee for Agent and pay over to Agent such compensation on account of the Obligations.  The Owner and the Manager understand, however, that nothing contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to obligate Agent to perform or discharge any of the obligations, duties or liabilities of the Owner under the Management Agreement.
7.Upon the occurrence of any default by the Owner under the terms of the Management Agreement with respect to the Property, or any portion thereof  (including, but not limited to, nonpayment of fees due the Manager but not paid by reason of the subordination of fees provided for herein) in respect of which the Manager has elected to exercise any right or remedy, the Manager shall, concurrently with the Manager’s delivery of notice thereof to Owner, provide Agent with notice in writing thereof (which notice may consist of a copy of the notice provided by the Manager to the Owner), and after receipt of said notice, Agent shall have the same time period within which to cure said default as the Owner has under the Management Agreement (plus an additional thirty (30) days) although the Owner and the Manager understand that Agent shall not have any obligation to do so.  Furthermore, the Owner and the Manager agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Management Agreement, Agent may immediately terminate, upon written notice to the Manager and without the payment of any cancellation or termination fee or penalty or other liability, the Management Agreement with respect to the Property, or any portion thereof, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.  In the event that Agent elects to terminate the Management Agreement with respect to the Property, or any portion thereof, in accordance with this Section 7, the Owner and the Manager understand and agree that the Manager shall look solely to the Owner for any and all fees, charges or other sums payable to the Manager under the Management Agreement, including any out-of-pocket costs properly incurred by the Manager; provided, however, that if Agent has delivered to the Manager a written notice that Agent has exercised its rights to become the “Owner” under the 

    N-2    

Management Agreement with respect to the Property, or any portion thereof, pursuant to Section 4, and subsequently elects to terminate the Management Agreement with respect to the Property, or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 7, then the Manager may look to Agent for payment of such fees and costs incurred with respect to the Property, or such portion thereof, from the date Agent became the “Owner” under the Management Agreement to the date of termination of the Management Agreement to the extent provided in Section 4.  If the Management Agreement shall be terminated by Agent with respect to the Property, or any portion thereof, in accordance with this Section 7, the Manager agrees to cooperate with Agent to ensure a smooth transition to the new property manager to be selected by Agent.
8.This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of Agent, the Lenders and their successors and assigns.  In the event of any inconsistency or conflict with the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Management Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.
9.The Manager agrees that it shall not change, amend, modify in any material respect or terminate the Management Agreement as it relates to the Property without Agent’s prior written approval in each instance, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  If the Manager does so amend, modify or terminate the Management Agreement in violation of this Section 9, such amendment, modification or termination shall be void ab initio with respect to the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 9 shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise restrict the right of the Manager to terminate the Management Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement by reason of default by the Owner thereunder after compliance by the Manager with Section 7 hereof.
10.This Agreement shall pursuant to Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York.
11.Without limiting the generality of any other provisions contained herein or in the other Loan Documents, no failure on the part of Agent or the Lenders to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.  The rights and remedies of Agent and the Lenders provided herein and in the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and are not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law or in equity.
12.The Manager represents and warrants to Agent that as of the date hereof (a) the Management Agreement is in full force and effect and has not been amended, modified, assigned, terminated or supplemented, (b) the Manager is not in default under the provisions of the Management Agreement and there is no condition which, with the giving of notice and/or the lapse of time, would constitute such a default and (c) to the best of the Manager’s knowledge, the Owner is not in default under the provisions of the Management Agreement and there is no condition which, with the giving of notice and/or the lapse of time, would constitute such a default.
13.This Agreement may not be amended, modified, terminated or supplemented without the written approval of the Manager, the Owner and Agent.
14.This Agreement and any amendment hereof may be executed in several counterparts and by each party on a separate counterpart, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.  In proving this Agreement it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.
