ARTICLE 1 
PURPOSE
The purpose of the Zogenix, Inc. 2010 Equity Incentive Award Plan, as amended and restated (the “Plan”) is to promote the success and enhance the value of Zogenix, Inc. (the “Company”) by linking the personal interests of the members of the Board, Employees, and Consultants to those of Company stockholders and by providing such individuals with an incentive for performance to generate returns to Company stockholders.

This Plan constitutes an amendment and restatement of the Zogenix, Inc. 2010 Equity Incentive Award Plan, as amended and restated (the “Prior 2010 Plan”), which was approved by the Board on April 16, 2012 and by the Company’s stockholders on June 6, 2012. In the event that the Company’s stockholders do not approve the Plan, the Prior 2010 Plan will continue in full force and effect on its terms and conditions as in effect immediately prior to the date the Plan is approved by the Board.

(a)    Subject to Article 10 and Section 3.1(b), the aggregate number of shares of Stock which may be issued or transferred pursuant to Awards under the Plan shall be 11,500,000 shares of Stock (which number is equal to the 7,500,000 shares of Stock reserved for issuance under the Prior 2010 Plan plus an additional 4,000,000 shares of Stock to be added to the share reserve pursuant to this amended and restated Plan). Solely for purposes of determining whether shares of Stock are available for the grant of Incentive Stock Options under the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued pursuant to Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be 11,500,000 shares of Stock, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 10.1.

(b)    If any shares of Stock subject to an Award are forfeited or expire or such Award is settled for cash (in whole or in part), the shares of Stock subject to such Award shall, to the extent of such forfeiture, expiration or cash settlement, again be available for future grants of Awards under the Plan and shall be added back to the share limit set forth in this Section 3.1(b) in the same number of shares as were debited from the share limit in respect of the grant of such Award (as may be adjusted in accordance with Section 10.1 hereof). Additionally, any shares of Stock tendered or withheld by the Company in payment of the grant or exercise price or tax withholding obligation pursuant to any Award shall again be available for the grant of an Award pursuant to the Plan. If any shares of Restricted Stock are forfeited by a Participant or repurchased by the Company pursuant to Article 6 hereof, such shares shall again be available for the grant of an Award pursuant to the Plan. The payment of Dividend Equivalents in cash in conjunction with any outstanding Awards shall not be counted against the shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan. 
(c)    Substitute Awards may be granted on such terms as the Administrator deems appropriate, notwithstanding limitations on Awards in the Plan. Substitute Awards shall not reduce the shares of Stock authorized for grant under the Plan (except that shares of Stock acquired by exercise of substitute Incentive Stock Options will count against the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options under the Plan), and shares of Stock subject to such Substitute Awards shall not be added to the shares of Stock available for Awards under the Plan as provided in Section 3.1(b) above. Additionally, in the event that a company acquired by the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary or with which the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary combines has shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by its stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such pre‐existing plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, using the exchange ratio or other adjustment or valuation ratio or formula used in such acquisition or combination to determine the consideration payable to the holders of common stock of the entities party to such acquisition or combination) may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the shares of Stock authorized for grant under the Plan (and Shares subject to such Awards shall not be added to the shares of Stock available for Awards under the Plan as provided in Section 3.1(b) above); provided that Awards using such available shares of Stock shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, grants of Awards using such available shares are permitted without stockholder approval under the rules of the principal securities exchange on which the Stock is then listed and such grants shall only be made to individuals who were not employed by or providing services to the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary immediately prior to such acquisition or combination.(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.1, no shares of Stock may again be optioned, granted or awarded if such action would cause an Incentive Stock Option that is to be granted (as opposed to those that were already granted) to fail to qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code. 
3.2    Stock Distributed. Any shares of Stock distributed pursuant to an Award may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Stock, treasury Stock or Stock purchased on the open market.

(b)    Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Stock shall be set by the Administrator; provided that subject to Section 5.2(e) the exercise price for any Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant.

(d)    Individual Dollar Limitation. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time the Option is granted) of all shares of Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are first exercisable by a Participant in any calendar year may not exceed $100,000 or such other limitation as imposed by Section 422(d) of the Code, or any successor provision. To the extent that Incentive Stock Options are first exercisable by a Participant in excess of such limitation, the excess shall be considered Non-Qualified Stock Options.

An Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to any individual who, at the date of grant, owns stock possessing more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of Stock of the Company or any “subsidiary corporation” of the Company or “parent corporation” of the Company (each within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code) only if such Option is granted at an exercise price per share that is not less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per share of the Stock on the date of grant and the Option is exercisable for no more than five (5) years from the date of grant.

(f)    Notice of Disposition.

(h)    Failure to Meet Requirements. Any Option (or portion thereof) purported to be an Incentive Stock Option, which, for any reason, fails to meet the requirements of Section 422 of the Code shall be considered a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
5.3    Substitute Awards. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 5 to the contrary, in the case of an Option that is a Substitute Award, the exercise price per share of the Stock subject to such Option may be less than the Fair Market Value per share on the date of grant; provided that the exercise price of any Substitute Award shall be determined in accordance with the applicable requirements of Sections 424 and 409A of the Code.
5.4    Substitution of Stock Appreciation Rights. The Administrator may provide in the Award Agreement evidencing the grant of an Option that the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to substitute a Stock Appreciation Right for such Option at any time prior to or upon exercise of such Option, subject to the provisions of Section 7.2 hereof; provided that such Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable with respect to the same number of shares of Stock for which such substituted Option would have been exercisable.

6.2    Issuance and Restrictions. Restricted Stock shall be subject to such repurchase restrictions, forfeiture restrictions, restrictions on transferability and other restrictions as the Administrator may impose (including, without limitation, limitations on the right to vote Restricted Stock or the right to receive dividends on the Restricted Stock).

Except as otherwise determined by the Administrator at the time of the grant of the Award or thereafter, upon Termination of Service during the applicable restriction period, Restricted Stock that is at that time subject to restrictions shall be forfeited or subject to repurchase by the Company (or its assignee) under such terms as the Administrator shall determine; provided, however, that the Administrator may (a) provide in any Award Agreement that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock will be waived in whole or in part in the event of a Participant’s Termination of Service under certain circumstances, and (b) in other cases waive in whole or in part restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock.
6.4    Certificates or Book Entries for Restricted Stock. Restricted Stock granted pursuant to the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Administrator shall determine. Certificates or book entries evidencing shares of Restricted Stock must include an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock, and the Company may, at its discretion, retain physical possession of any stock certificate until such time as all applicable restrictions lapse or the Award Agreement may provide that the shares shall be held in escrow by an escrow agent designated by the Company.

6.5    Section 83(b) Election. If a Participant makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed with respect to the Restricted Stock as of the date of transfer of the Restricted Stock rather than as of the date or dates upon which the Participant would otherwise be taxable under Section 83(a) of the Code, the Participant shall be required to deliver a copy of such election to the Company promptly after filing such election with the Internal Revenue Service. 
ARTICLE 7
STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

7.2    Stock Appreciation Rights.
(a)    The term of each Stock Appreciation Right shall be fixed by the Administrator in its sole discretion; provided that no Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date the Stock Appreciation Right is granted. A Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable in such installments as the Administrator may determine. A Stock Appreciation Right shall cover such number of shares of Stock as the Administrator may determine. The exercise price per share of each Stock Appreciation Right shall be determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement; provided that the exercise price per share for any Stock Appreciation Right shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date the Stock Appreciation Right is granted.
(b)    A Stock Appreciation Right shall entitle the Participant (or other person entitled to exercise the Stock Appreciation Right pursuant to the Plan) to exercise all or a specified portion of the Stock Appreciation Right (to the extent then exercisable pursuant to its terms) and to receive from the Company an amount determined by multiplying (i) the amount (if any) by which the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right exceeds the exercise price per share of the Stock Appreciation Right, by (ii) the number of shares of Stock with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right shall have been exercised, subject to any limitations the Administrator may impose.
7.3    Payment and Limitations on Exercise.
(a)    Payment of the amounts determined under Section 7.2(b) above shall be in cash, in Stock (based on its Fair Market Value as of the date the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised) or a combination of both, as determined by the Administrator.
(b)    To the extent any payment under Section 7.2(b) is effected in Stock it shall be made subject to satisfaction of all provisions of Article 5 above pertaining to Options.

Such Dividend Equivalents shall be converted to cash or additional shares of Stock by such formula and at such time and subject to such limitations as may be determined by the Administrator. 

(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, dividends or Dividend Equivalents with respect to an Award that is subject to vesting that are based on dividends paid prior to the vesting of such Award shall only be paid out to the Participant to the extent that the vesting conditions are subsequently satisfied and the Award vests.
(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Dividend Equivalents shall be payable with respect to Options or Stock Appreciation Rights.
8.2    Stock Payments. Any Eligible Individual selected by the Administrator may receive Stock Payments in the manner determined from time to time by the Administrator. The number of shares of Stock or the number of options or other rights to purchase shares of Stock subject to a Stock Payment shall be determined by the Administrator and may be based upon the attainment of Performance Goals that are established by the Administrator and relate to one or more of the Performance Criteria or other specific performance goals determined appropriate by the Administrator.
8.3    Restricted Stock Units. The Administrator is authorized to make Awards of Restricted Stock Units to any Eligible Individual selected by the Administrator in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the Administrator. At the time of grant, the Administrator shall specify the date or dates on which the Restricted Stock Units shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable, and may specify such conditions to vesting as it deems appropriate. At the time of grant, the Administrator shall specify the maturity date applicable to each grant of Restricted Stock Units which shall be no earlier than the vesting date or dates of the Award and may be determined at the election of the Eligible Individual to whom the Award is granted. On the maturity date, the Company shall, subject to Section 9.5(b), transfer to the Participant one unrestricted, fully transferable share of Stock for each Restricted Stock Unit that is vested and scheduled to be distributed on such date and not previously forfeited. The Administrator shall specify the purchase price, if any, to be paid by the Participant to the Company for such shares of Stock. Restricted Stock Units may also provide for settlement in cash, in the discretion of the Administrator.
8.4    Other Incentive Awards. Any Eligible Individual selected by the Administrator may be granted one or more Awards that provide Participants with shares of Stock or the right to purchase shares of Stock or that have a value derived from the value of, or an exercise or conversion privilege at a price related to shares of Stock or a cash value, or that are otherwise payable in shares of Stock or cash and which may be linked to the attainment of Performance Goals that are established by the Administrator and relate to one or more of the any one or more of the Performance Criteria or other specific performance goals determined appropriate by the Administrator, in each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by the Administrator. In making such determinations, the Administrator shall consider (among such other factors as it deems relevant in light of the specific type of Award) the contributions, responsibilities and other compensation of the particular Participant. Other Incentive Awards may be paid in cash, Stock or other property, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Administrator.
8.5    Term. Except as otherwise provided herein, the term of any Award of Dividend Equivalents, Stock Payments, Restricted Stock Units or Other Incentive Award shall be set by the Administrator in its discretion.

ARTICLE 9 
PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS
9.1    Payment. The Administrator shall determine the methods by which payments by any Participant with respect to any Awards granted under the Plan shall be made, including, without limitation: (a) cash or check, (b) shares of Stock (including, in the case of payment of the exercise price of an Award, shares of Stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of the Award) or shares of Stock held for such period of time as may be required by the Administrator in order to avoid adverse accounting consequences, in each case, having a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal to the aggregate payments required, (c) delivery of a written or electronic notice that the Participant has placed a market sell order with a broker with 

respect to shares of Stock then issuable upon exercise or vesting of an Award, and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the aggregate payments required; provided, that payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company upon settlement of such sale, or (d) other form of legal consideration acceptable to the Administrator. The Administrator shall also determine the methods by which shares of Stock shall be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Participants. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, no Participant who is a Director or an “executive officer” of the Company within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act shall be permitted to make payment with respect to any Awards granted under the Plan, or continue any extension of credit with respect to such payment with a loan from the Company or a loan arranged by the Company in violation of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act.
9.2    Tax Withholding. The Company or any Parent or Subsidiary shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company or such Parent or Subsidiary an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local and foreign taxes (including the Participant’s employment tax obligations) required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event concerning a Participant arising as a result of this Plan. The Administrator may in its discretion and in satisfaction of the foregoing requirement elect to have the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, as applicable, withhold shares of Stock otherwise issuable under an Award (or allow the return of shares of Stock) having a Fair Market Value equal to the sums required to be withheld (or allow the Participant to make such an election). Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the number of shares of Stock which may be withheld (or which may be delivered or returned by the Participant) in order to satisfy the Participant’s federal, state, local and foreign income and payroll tax liabilities with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of an Award shall be limited to the number of shares of Stock which have a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding, delivery or return equal to the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income or such higher rate as may approved by the Administrator (which rates shall in no event exceed the maximum individual statutory tax rate in the applicable jurisdiction at the time of such withholding (or such other rate as may be required to avoid the liability classification of the applicable award under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America)); provided, however, unless otherwise approved by the Administrator, to the extent such shares of Stock were acquired by the Participant from the Company as compensation, the shares of Stock must have been held for the minimum period required by applicable accounting rules to avoid a charge to the Company’s earnings for financial reporting purposes; provided, further, that the number of shares of Stock withheld, delivered or returned shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share sufficient to cover the applicable tax withholding obligation to the extent rounding up to the nearest whole share does not result in the liability classification of the applicable Award under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The Administrator shall determine the fair market value of the Stock, consistent with applicable provisions of the Code, for tax withholding obligations due in connection with a broker-assisted cashless Option or Stock Appreciation Right exercise involving the sale of shares of Stock to pay the exercise price or any tax withholding obligation.
9.3    Limits on Transfer.
(a)    Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.3(b):
(i)    No right or interest of a Participant in any Award may be sold, pledged, assigned, or transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, subject to the consent of the Administrator, pursuant to a DRO, unless and until such Award has been exercised, or the shares underlying such Award have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to such shares have lapsed;
(ii)    No Award or interest or right therein shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of the Participant or his successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent that such disposition is permitted by Section 9.3(a)(i); and

(iii)    During the lifetime of the Participant, only the Participant may exercise an Award (or any portion thereof) granted to him under the Plan, unless it has been disposed of pursuant to a DRO; after the death of the Participant, any exercisable portion of an Award may, prior to the time when such portion becomes unexercisable under the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement, be exercised by his personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Participant’s will or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution.
(b)    Notwithstanding Section 9.3(a), the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may determine to permit a Participant to transfer an Award other than an Incentive Stock Option to any one or more Permitted Transferees, subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) an Award transferred to a Permitted Transferee shall not be assignable or transferable by the Permitted Transferee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution; (ii) any Award which is transferred to a Permitted Transferee shall continue to be subject to all the terms and conditions of the Award as applicable to the original Participant (other than the ability to further transfer the Award); and (iii) the Participant and the Permitted Transferee shall execute any and all documents requested by the Administrator, including, without limitation documents to (A) confirm the status of the transferee as a Permitted Transferee, (B) satisfy any requirements for an exemption for the transfer under applicable federal, state and foreign securities laws and (C) evidence the transfer.
9.4    Beneficiaries. Notwithstanding Section 9.3(a), a Participant may, in the manner determined by the Administrator, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the Participant and to receive any distribution with respect to any Award upon the Participant’s death. A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights pursuant to the Plan is subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Award Agreement applicable to the Participant, except to the extent the Plan and Award Agreement otherwise provide, and to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Administrator. If the Participant is married and resides in a community property state, a designation of a person other than the Participant’s spouse as his or her beneficiary with respect to more than 50% of the Participant’s interest in the Award shall not be effective without the prior written or electronic consent of the Participant’s spouse. If no beneficiary has been designated or survives the Participant, payment shall be made to the person entitled thereto pursuant to the Participant’s will or the laws of descent and distribution. Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Participant at any time provided the change or revocation is filed with the Administrator prior to the Participant’s death. 
9.5    Stock Certificates; Book Entry Procedures.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates or make any book entries evidencing shares of Stock pursuant to the exercise of any Award, unless and until the Board has determined, with advice of counsel, that the issuance and delivery of such certificates is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authorities and, if applicable, the requirements of any exchange on which the shares of Stock are listed or traded. All Stock certificates delivered pursuant to the Plan and all shares issued pursuant to book-entry procedures are subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Administrator deems necessary or advisable to comply with federal, state, or foreign jurisdiction, securities or other laws, rules and regulations and the rules of any national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Stock is listed, quoted, or traded. The Administrator may place legends on any Stock certificate or book-entry to reference restrictions applicable to the Stock. In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Board may require that a Participant make such reasonable covenants, agreements, and representations as the Board, in its discretion, deems advisable in order to comply with any such laws, regulations, or requirements. The Administrator shall have the right to require any Participant to comply with any timing or other restrictions with respect to the settlement or exercise of any Award, including a window‐period limitation, as may be imposed in the discretion of the Administrator.
(b)    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator or required by any applicable law, rule or regulation, the Company shall not deliver to any Participant certificates evidencing shares of Stock issued in connection with any Award and instead such shares of Stock shall be recorded in the books of the Company (or, as applicable, its transfer agent or stock plan administrator).
9.6    Paperless Administration. In the event that the Company establishes for itself or using the services of a third party, an automated system for the documentation, granting or exercise of Awards, such as a system using an internet website or 

interactive voice response, then the paperless documentation, granting or exercise of Awards by a Participant may be permitted through the use of such an automated system.
9.7    Forfeiture and Clawback Provisions. All Awards (including any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit actually or constructively received by a Participant upon any receipt or exercise of any Award or upon the receipt or resale of any shares of Stock underlying the Award and any payments of a portion of an incentive‐based bonus pool allocated to a Participant) shall be subject to the provisions of any claw-back policy implemented by the Company, including, without limitation, any claw-back policy adopted to comply with the requirements of applicable laws, regulations or requirements, including, without limitation, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, whether or not such claw‐back policy was in place at the time of grant of an Award, to the extent set forth in such claw-back policy and/or in the applicable Award Agreement.
ARTICLE 10 
CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE
10.1    Adjustments.
(a)    In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation, distribution of Company assets to stockholders (other than normal cash dividends), or any other corporate event affecting the Stock or the share price of the Stock other than an Equity Restructuring, the Administrator shall make equitable adjustments, if any, as the Administrator in its discretion may deem appropriate to reflect such changes with respect to (i) the aggregate number and type of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitation in Section 3.1 and the limitation on the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be issued pursuant to Incentive Stock Options under the Plan); (ii) the number and type of shares of Stock subject to outstanding Awards; (iii) the terms and conditions of any outstanding Awards (including, without limitation, any applicable performance targets or criteria with respect thereto); and (iv) the grant or exercise price per share for any outstanding Awards under the Plan. Any adjustment affecting an Award intended as Performance‐Based Compensation shall be made consistent with the requirements of Section 162(m)(4)(c) of the Code prior to its repeal unless otherwise determined by the Administrator.
(b)    In the event of any transaction or event described in Section 10.1(a) or any unusual or nonrecurring transactions or events affecting the Company, any affiliate of the Company, or the financial statements of the Company or any affiliate (including without limitation any Change in Control), or of changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles, the Administrator, in its sole discretion and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, either by amendment of the terms of any outstanding Awards or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such transaction or event, is hereby authorized to take any one or more of the following actions whenever the Administrator determines that action is appropriate in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any Award under the Plan, to facilitate such transactions or events or to give effect to such changes in laws, regulations or principles: 
(i)    To provide for either (A) termination of any such Award in exchange for an amount of cash and/or other property, if any, equal to the amount that would have been received upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction or event described in this Section 10.1(b) the Administrator determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights, then such Award may be terminated by the Company without payment) or (B) the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Administrator in its sole discretion; and 
(ii)    To provide that such Award be assumed by the successor or survivor entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by similar options, rights or awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices; and 
(iii)    To make adjustments in the number and type of shares of Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards, and in the number and kind of outstanding Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit 

Awards and/or in the terms and conditions of (including the grant or exercise price), and the criteria included in, outstanding options, rights and awards and options, rights and awards which may be granted in the future; and
(iv)    To provide that such Award shall be exercisable or payable or fully vested with respect to all shares covered thereby, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement; and 
(v)    To provide that the Award cannot vest, be exercised or become payable after such event. 
(c)    In connection with the occurrence of any Equity Restructuring, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 10.1(a) and 10.1(b):
(i)    (i) The number and type of securities subject to each outstanding Award and the exercise price or grant price thereof, if applicable, will be proportionately adjusted. The adjustments provided under this Section 10.1(c)(i) shall be nondiscretionary and shall be final and binding on the affected Participant and the Company. 
(ii)    The Administrator shall make such proportionate adjustments, if any, as the Administrator in its discretion may deem appropriate to reflect such Equity Restructuring with respect to the aggregate number and kind of shares that may be issued under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitation in Section 3.1 and the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be issued pursuant to Incentive Stock Options under the Plan).
10.2    Acceleration Upon a Change in Control. Notwithstanding Section 10.1, and except as may otherwise be provided in any applicable Award Agreement or other written agreement entered into between the Company, a Parent, a Subsidiary, or other Company affiliate and a Participant, if a Change in Control occurs and a Participant’s Awards are not continued, converted, assumed, or replaced by (i) the Company or a Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, or (ii) a Successor Entity, then immediately prior to the Change in Control such Awards shall become fully exercisable and/or payable, as applicable, and all forfeiture, repurchase and other restrictions on such Awards shall lapse. Upon, or in anticipation of, a Change in Control, the Administrator may cause any and all Awards outstanding hereunder to terminate at a specific time in the future, including but not limited to the date of such Change in Control, and shall give each Participant the right to exercise such Awards during a period of time as the Administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine.
10.3    Certain Limitations on Adjustments. With respect to Awards which are intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, no adjustment or action described in this Article 10 or in any other provision of the Plan shall be authorized to the extent that such adjustment or action would cause such Award to fail to so qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, unless the Administrator determines that the Award should not so qualify. No adjustment or action described in this Article 10 or in any other provision of the Plan shall be authorized to the extent that such adjustment or action would cause the Plan to violate Section 422(b)(1) of the Code. Furthermore, no such adjustment or action shall be authorized with respect to any Award to the extent such adjustment or action would result in short-swing profits liability under Section 16 or violate the exemptive conditions of Rule 16b‐3 unless the Administrator determines that the Award is not to comply with such exemptive conditions.
10.4    No Other Rights. Except as expressly provided in the Plan, no Participant shall have any rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividend, any increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class or any dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation of the Company or any other corporation. Except as expressly provided in the Plan or pursuant to action of the Administrator under the Plan, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of shares of Stock subject to an Award or the grant or exercise price of any Award.
10.5    Restrictions on Exercise. In the event of any pending stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation or other distribution (other than normal cash dividends) of Company assets to stockholders, or any other change affecting the shares of Stock or the share price of the Stock including any Equity Restructuring, for reasons of administrative convenience, the Company in its sole discretion may refuse to permit the exercise of any Award during a period of 30 days prior to the consummation of any such transaction.

ARTICLE 11 
ADMINISTRATION
11.1    Administrator. The “Administrator” of the Plan shall be a Committee of the Board, which shall consist solely of two or more members of the Board each of whom is an Independent Director and a Non-Employee Director; provided that any action taken by the Committee shall be valid and effective, whether or not members of the Committee at the time of such action are later determined not to have satisfied the requirements for membership set forth in this Section 11.1 or otherwise provided in any charter of the Committee. Additionally, to the extent required by applicable law, each of the individuals constituting the Committee (or another committee or subcommittee of the Board assuming the functions of the Committee under the Plan) shall be an “independent director” under the rules of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Shares are listed, quoted or traded. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (a) the full Board, acting by a majority of its members in office, shall conduct the general administration of the Plan with respect to all Awards granted to Independent Directors and for purposes of such Awards the term “Administrator” as used in this Plan shall be deemed to refer to the Board and (b) the Board or the Committee may delegate its authority hereunder to the extent permitted by Section 11.5. In addition, in its sole discretion, the Board may at any time and from time to time exercise any and all rights and duties of the Administrator under the Plan except with respect to matters which are required to be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee under Rule 16b‐3 of the Exchange Act, or any regulations or rules issued thereunder. Except as may otherwise be provided in any charter of the Committee, appointment of Committee members shall be effective upon acceptance of appointment; Committee members may resign at any time by delivering written notice to the Board; and vacancies in the Committee may only be filled by the Board. Should any Awards made under the Plan prior to November 2, 2017, be intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code prior to its repeal, then all such determinations regarding such Awards will be made solely by a Committee comprised solely of two of more “outside directors” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code.
11.2    Action by the Administrator. Unless otherwise established by the Board or in any charter of the Company or the Committee, a majority of the Administrator shall constitute a quorum and the acts of a majority of the members present at any meeting at which a quorum is present, and acts approved in writing by a majority of the Administrator in lieu of a meeting, shall be deemed the acts of the Administrator. Each member of the Administrator is entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or other information furnished to that member by any officer or other employee of the Company or of any Parent or Subsidiary, the Company’s independent certified public accountants, or any executive compensation consultant or other professional retained by the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary to assist in the administration of the Plan. 
11.3    Authority of Administrator. Subject to any specific designation in the Plan, including Section 13.1, the Administrator has the exclusive power, authority and discretion to:
(a)    Designate Eligible Individuals to receive Awards; 
(b)    Determine the type or types of Awards to be granted to each Participant; 
(c)    Determine the number of Awards to be granted and the number of shares of Stock to which an Award will relate; 
(d)    Determine the terms and conditions of any Award granted pursuant to the Plan, including, but not limited to, the exercise price, grant price, or purchase price, any restrictions or limitations on the Award, any schedule for lapse of forfeiture restrictions or restrictions on the exercisability of an Award, and accelerations or waivers thereof, any provisions related to non-competition and recapture of gain on an Award, based in each case on such considerations as the Administrator in its sole discretion determines; 
(e)    Determine whether, to what extent, and pursuant to what circumstances an Award may be settled in, or the exercise price of an Award may be paid in, cash, Stock, other Awards, or other property, or an Award may be canceled, forfeited, or surrendered; 
(f)    Prescribe the form of each Award Agreement, which need not be identical for each Participant; 

(g)    Decide all other matters that must be determined in connection with an Award; 
(h)    Establish, adopt, or revise any rules and regulations as it may deem necessary or advisable to administer the Plan;
(i)    Interpret the terms of, and any matter arising pursuant to, the Plan or any Award Agreement; and 
(j)    Make all other decisions and determinations that may be required pursuant to the Plan or as the Administrator deems necessary or advisable to administer the Plan. 
11.4    Decisions Binding. The Administrator’s interpretation of the Plan, any Awards granted pursuant to the Plan, any Award Agreement and all decisions and determinations by the Administrator with respect to the Plan are final, binding, and conclusive on all parties.
11.5    Delegation of Authority. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board or the Committee may from time to time delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board or one or more officers of the Company the authority to grant or amend Awards to Participants other than (a) Employees who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act or (b) officers of the Company (or Directors) to whom authority to grant or amend Awards has been delegated hereunder. Any delegation hereunder shall be subject to the restrictions and limits that the Board or the Committee specifies at the time of such delegation, and the Board or the Committee may at any time rescind the authority so delegated or appoint a new delegatee. At all times, the delegatee appointed under this Section 11.5 shall serve in such capacity at the pleasure of the Board or the Committee.
11.6    Prohibition on Repricing. Subject to Section 10.1, the Administrator shall not, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, (a) authorize the amendment of any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right to reduce its price per share, or (b) cancel any Option or Stock Appreciation Right in exchange for cash or another Award when the Option or Stock Appreciation Right price per share exceeds the Fair Market Value of the underlying shares of Stock. Subject to Section 10.1, the Administrator shall have the authority, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, to amend any outstanding Award to increase the price per share or to cancel and replace an Award with the grant of an Award having a price per share that is greater than or equal to the price per share of the original Award.
ARTICLE 12
EFFECTIVE AND EXPIRATION DATE
12.1    Effective Date. This amended and restated Plan, as amended, shall be effective on the date it is approved by the stockholders of the Company (the “Restatement Effective Date”).
12.2    Expiration Date.  The Plan will expire on, and no Award may be granted pursuant to the Plan on or after, the tenth anniversary of the date this amended and restated Plan was initially approved by the Board (the “Expiration Date”). Any Awards that are outstanding on the Expiration Date shall remain in force according to the terms of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement.
12.3    Approval of Plan by Stockholders. This amended and restated Plan will be submitted for the approval of the Company’s stockholders within twelve (12) months after the date of the Board’s initial adoption of this amended and restated Plan. If this amended and restated Plan is not approved by the Company’s stockholders, it will not become effective and the Prior 2010 Plan will continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. Upon the approval of the Plan by the Company’s stockholders, any awards outstanding under the Prior 2010 Plan as of the date of such approval shall remain outstanding and, if applicable, exercisable pursuant to the terms of such individual grants.
ARTICLE 13 
AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION

13.1    Amendment, Modification, And Termination. The Committee or Board may terminate, amend or modify the Plan at any time and from time to time; provided, however, that (a) to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with any applicable law, regulation, or stock exchange rule, the Company shall obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment in such a manner and to such a degree as required, and (b) stockholder approval shall be required for any amendment to the Plan that increases the number of shares of Stock available under the Plan or to take any action prohibited under Section 11.6.
13.2    Awards Previously Granted. No termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan shall adversely affect in any material way any Award previously granted pursuant to the Plan without the prior written consent of the Participant. 
ARTICLE 14 
GENERAL PROVISIONS
14.1    No Rights to Awards. No Eligible Individual or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award pursuant to the Plan, and neither the Company nor the Administrator is obligated to treat Eligible Individuals, Participants or any other persons uniformly.
14.2    No Stockholders Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Participant shall have none of the rights of a stockholder with respect to shares of Stock covered by any Award until the Participant becomes the record owner of such shares of Stock.
14.3    No Right to Employment or Services. Nothing in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary to terminate any Participant’s employment or services at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary.
14.4    Unfunded Status of Awards. The Plan is intended to be an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall give the Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary.
14.5    Indemnification. To the extent allowable pursuant to applicable law, each member of the Administrator or of the Board shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such member in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action or failure to act pursuant to the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in satisfaction of judgment in such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her; provided he or she gives the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.
14.6    Relationship to Other Benefits. No payment pursuant to the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits pursuant to any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or other benefit plan of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in writing in such other plan or an agreement thereunder.
14.7    Expenses. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company and its Subsidiaries.
14.8    Titles and Headings. The titles and headings of the Sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only and, in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.

14.9    Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued and the Administrator shall determine, in its discretion, whether cash shall be given in lieu of fractional shares of Stock or whether such fractional shares of Stock shall be eliminated by rounding up or down as appropriate.
14.10    Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Plan, and any Award granted or awarded to any Participant who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and Awards granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.
14.11    Government and Other Regulations. The obligation of the Company to make payment of awards in Stock or otherwise shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by government agencies as may be required. The Company shall be under no obligation to register pursuant to the Securities Act any of the shares of Stock paid pursuant to the Plan. If the shares of Stock paid pursuant to the Plan may in certain circumstances be exempt from registration pursuant to the Securities Act, the Company may restrict the transfer of such shares of Stock in such manner as it deems advisable to ensure the availability of any such exemption.
14.12    Section 409A. To the extent that the Administrator determines that any Award granted under the Plan is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award shall incorporate the terms and conditions required by Section 409A of the Code. To the extent applicable, the Plan and Award Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the adoption of the Plan. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that following the adoption of the Plan the Administrator determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance (including such Department of Treasury guidance as may be issued after the adoption of the Plan), the Administrator may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt the Award from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Award, or (b) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance.
14.13    Governing Law. The Plan and all Award Agreements shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to the conflicts of law principles thereof.
14.14    Provisions Applicable to Certain Performance-Based Awards. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Award, with respect to any Award which is intended to continue to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation (as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code prior to its repeal) pursuant to the transition relief rules in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, to the extent any of the provisions of the Plan or any Award (or any amendments hereto pursuant to this amendment and restatement of the Plan) would cause such Awards to fail to so qualify, any such provisions shall not apply to such Awards to the extent necessary to ensure the such Awards continue to so qualify. In addition, any Award which is intended to continue to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation (as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code prior to its repeal) pursuant to the transition relief rules in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 shall be subject to any additional limitations as the Administrator determines necessary for such Award to continue to so qualify. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and any such Awards shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements.EX-10.1

 Credit Rating. As of any date of determination, the higher of the credit ratings (or
their equivalents) then assigned to Borrower’s long-term senior unsecured non-credit enhanced debt by either of the Rating Agencies. A credit rating of BBB- from
S&P is equivalent to a credit rating of Baa3 from Moody’s and vice versa. A credit rating of BBB from S&P is equivalent to a credit rating of Baa2 from Moody’s and vice versa. A credit rating of BBB+ from S&P is equivalent to a
credit rating of Baa1 by Moody’s and vice versa. It is the intention of the parties that if Borrower shall only obtain a credit rating from one of the Rating Agencies without seeking a credit rating from the other of the Rating Agencies, the
Borrower shall be entitled to the benefit of the Credit Rating Level for such credit rating. If Borrower shall have obtained a credit rating from both of the Rating Agencies, the higher of the two ratings shall control, provided that the lower
rating is only one level below that of the higher rating. If the lower rating is more than one level below that of the higher credit rating, the operative rating shall be deemed to be one rating level lower than the higher of the two ratings. In the
event that Borrower shall have obtained a credit rating from both of the Rating Agencies and shall thereafter lose such rating (whether as a result of a withdrawal, suspension, election to not obtain a rating, or otherwise) from one of the Rating
Agencies, the operative rating would be deemed to be one rating level lower than the remaining rating. In the event that Borrower shall have obtained a credit rating from both of the Rating Agencies and shall thereafter lose such rating (whether as
a result of withdrawal, suspension, election to not obtain a rating, or otherwise) from both of the Rating Agencies, Borrower shall be deemed for the purposes hereof not to have a credit rating. If at any time either of the Rating Agencies shall no
longer perform the functions of a securities rating agency, then the Borrower and the Agent shall promptly negotiate in good faith to agree upon a substitute rating agency or agencies (and to correlate the system of ratings of each substitute rating
agency with that of the rating agency being replaced), and pending such amendment, the Credit Rating of the other of the Rating Agencies, if one has been provided, shall continue to apply. A Credit Rating that rates the Borrower and REIT jointly
shall for the purposes of this Agreement constitute a Credit Rating of the Borrower. 
 Credit Rating Level. One of the following
five pricing levels, as applicable, and provided, that the initial Applicable Margin shall be at Credit Rating Level 3: 
 Credit
Rating Level 1. The Credit Rating Level which would be applicable for so long as the Credit Rating is greater than or equal to A by S&P or A2 by Moody’s; 

Credit Rating Level 2. The Credit Rating Level which would be applicable for so long as the Credit Rating is greater
than or equal to A- by S&P or A3 by Moody’s and Credit Rating Level 1 is not applicable;

than or equal to BBB+ by S&P or Baa1 by Moody’s and Credit Rating Levels 1 and 2 are not applicable;

order of each Lender in the principal amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment or, if less, the outstanding amount of all Loans made by such Lender, plus interest accrued thereon, as set
forth below. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes 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
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 Agent’s Record shall be prima facie
evidence, absent manifest error, of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to each Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on Agent’s Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of
the Borrower hereunder or under any Revolving Credit Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Revolving Credit Note when due. 

§2.2 Facility Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders in accordance with their respective
Commitment Percentages a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) calculated at the rate per annum set forth below based upon the applicable Credit Rating Level on the Total Commitment: 

 

					
	 Credit Rating Level
	  	Facility Fee Rate	 
	 Credit Rating Level 1
	  	 	0.100	% 
	 Credit Rating Level 2
	  	 	0.125	% 
	 Credit Rating Level 3
	  	 	0.150	% 
	 Credit Rating Level 4
	  	 	0.200	% 
	 Credit Rating Level 5
	  	 	0.250	% 
	 Credit Rating Level 6
	  	 	0.300	% 

 The Facility Fee shall be calculated for each day and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first (1st) day of each fiscal quarter for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter or portion thereof, and on any earlier date on which the Commitments shall be reduced or shall terminate as provided in
§2.3, with a final payment on the Maturity Date. The Facility Fee shall be determined by reference to the Credit Rating Level in effect from time to time; provided, however, that no change in the Facility Fee rate resulting from a
change in the Credit Rating Level shall be effective until three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Agent receives written notice of a change. 

§2.3 Reduction and Termination of the 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 reduce the Total Commitments by $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (provided that in no event shall the Total Commitment be reduced in such manner
to an amount less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the largest Total Commitment ever existing under this Agreement) or to terminate entirely the Commitments, whereupon the Commitments of the Lenders shall be reduced pro rata in accordance with
their respective Commitment Percentages of the amount specified in such notice or, as the case may be, terminated, any such termination or reduction to be without penalty except as otherwise set forth in §4.8; provided, however,
that no such termination or reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto, the sum of Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans and the Letter of Credit Liabilities would 

  
 33 

 
exceed the Commitments of the Lenders as so terminated or reduced. Promptly after receiving any notice from the Borrower delivered pursuant to this §2.3, the Agent will notify the Lenders of
the substance thereof. Any reduction of the Commitment shall also result in a proportionate reduction (rounded to the next lowest integral multiple of $100,000) in the maximum amount of Swing Loans and available Letters of Credit. Upon the effective
date of any such reduction or termination, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Lenders the full amount of any Facility Fee under §2.2 then accrued on the amount of the reduction. No reduction or termination of
the Commitments may be reinstated. 
 §2.4 Swing Loan Commitment. 

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Swing Loan Lender severally and not jointly agrees to lend to the
Borrower 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 Maturity Date upon notice by the Borrower to the applicable Swing
Loan Lender given in accordance with this §2.4, such sums as are requested by the Borrower for the purposes set forth in §2.8 in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not exceeding the lesser (such lesser amount being
referred to as the “Swing Loan Availability” of a given Swing Loan Lender) of (i) the Swing Loan Commitment minus the aggregate outstanding Swing Loans made by the Swing Loan Lenders and (ii) the commitment of such Swing
Loan Lender in its capacity as a Lender minus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans made by such Swing Loan Lender; provided that in all events (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing or would arise as a result thereof; (ii) the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities (after giving effect to all amounts requested), shall not at any time exceed
the Total Commitment or cause a violation of the covenants set forth in §9.1 and (iii) if at any time the aggregate principal amount of the Swing Loans held by such Swing Loan Lender outstanding at such time exceeds the Swing Loan
Availability of such Swing Loan Lender at such time, the Borrower shall promptly pay to the Agent for the account of such Swing Loan Lender the amount of such excess. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this §2.4, no Swing
Loan Lender shall be obligated to make any Swing Loan at a time when any other Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless such applicable Swing Loan Lender is satisfied that the participation therein will otherwise be fully allocated to the Lenders that
are Non-Defaulting Lenders consistent with §2.12(d) and the Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein, except to the extent such Swing Loan Lender has entered into arrangements with the
Borrower or such Defaulting Lender that are satisfactory to such Swing Loan Lender in its good faith determination to eliminate such Swing Loan Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to any such Defaulting Lender, including the delivery of
cash collateral. Swing Loans shall constitute “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 have
been satisfied on the date of such funding. The Swing Loan Lender may assume that the conditions in §11 have been satisfied unless Swing Loan Lender has received written notice from a 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 §2.4(d) below) to repay each Swing Loan on or
before the date that is five (5) Business Days from the date such Swing Loan was provided. No Swing Loan may be refinanced by another Swing Loan. 

  
 34 

 (b) The Swing Loans shall be evidenced by separate promissory notes of the Borrower in
substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto (the “Swing Loan Notes”), dated the date of this Agreement and completed with appropriate insertions. Each Swing Loan Note shall be payable to the order of each
applicable 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 each 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 applicable 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 each Swing Loan Lender’s Record shall be prima facie evidence, absent manifest error, of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to such Swing Loan Lender, but the
failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on such Swing Loan Lender’s Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any Swing Loan Note to make payments of principal of or
interest on such Swing Loan Note when due. 
 (c) Borrower shall request a Swing Loan by delivering to the Agent and the Swing Loan Lender
or Swing Loan Lenders selected by the Borrower to make a Swing Loan a Loan Request Notice executed by an Authorized Officer or by telephonic notice no later than 11:00 a.m. on the requested Drawdown Date specifying the amount of the requested Swing
Loan (which shall be in the minimum amount of $500,000.00) and providing the wire instructions for the delivery of the Swing Loan proceeds. Any telephonic notice shall include all information to be specified in a written Loan Request Notice and
shall be promptly confirmed in writing by Borrower pursuant to a Loan Request Notice sent to the applicable Swing Line Lender and Agent by telecopy or electronic mail on the same day of the giving of such telephonic notice. Each such Loan Request
Notice 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 bear interest at the rate per annum equal to
the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Rate Loans. The proceeds of the Swing Loan will be disbursed by wire by the Swing Loan Lender to the Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. on the Drawdown Date. The amount so received by Agent
shall, subject to satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in §11 for such borrowing, be made available to the Borrower no later than 2:00 p.m. on such date. 

(d) A Swing Loan Lender may on behalf of the Borrower request that each Lender, including the Swing Loan Lender, make a Revolving Credit Loan
pursuant to §2.1 in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of the Swing Loan made by such Swing Loan Lender that is outstanding on the date such notice is given. Such Swing Loan Lender shall give notice to the
Agent of any such borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans not later than 12:00 p.m. on the proposed date of such borrowing. Promptly after receipt of such notice of borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans from a Swing Loan Lender under the immediately
preceding sentence, the Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed borrowing and that such Revolving Credit Loan shall bear interest at the rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Rate Loans. The
Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs each Swing Loan Lender to so act on its behalf, and agrees that any amount advanced to the Agent for the benefit of such Swing Loan Lender pursuant to this §2.4(d) shall be considered a
Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.1. Unless any of the events described in paragraph (g), (h) or (i) of §12.1 shall have occurred (in which event the procedures of §2.4(e) shall apply), on

  
 35 

 
the date of such borrowing, each Lender shall make the proceeds of its Revolving Credit Loan available to the Agent for the account of the applicable Swing Loan Lender at the Agent’s Lending
Office prior to 2:00 p.m. in funds immediately available. The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loan shall be immediately applied to repay the applicable Swing Loan. 

(e) If for any reason a Swing Loan cannot be refinanced by a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.4(d), each Lender will, on the date
such Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.4(d) was to have been made, purchase an undivided participation interest in the applicable Swing Loan in an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of such Swing Loan. Each Lender will
immediately transfer to the applicable Swing Loan Lender in immediately available funds the amount of its participation. 
 (f) Whenever at
any time after a Swing Loan Lender has received from any Lender such Lender’s participation interest in a Swing Loan, such Swing Loan Lender receives any payment on account thereof, such Swing Loan Lender will distribute to such Lender its
participation interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted in the case of interest payments to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in
the event that such payment received by a Swing Loan Lender is required to be returned, such Lender will return to such Swing Loan Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by such Swing Loan Lender to it. 

(g) Each Lender’s obligation to fund a Revolving Credit Loan as provided in §2.4(d) or to purchase participation interests
pursuant to §2.4(e) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or the Borrower or
Guarantors, if any, may have against the applicable Swing Loan Lender, the Borrower or Guarantors, if any, the REIT, or anyone else for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default;
(iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower or Guarantors, if any, or any of their respective Subsidiaries; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by the Borrower,
Guarantors, if any, or any Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. If such amount is not in fact made available to the applicable Swing Loan Lender by any Lender,
such Swing Loan Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon for each day from the date of demand thereof, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. If such Lender does not pay such
amount forthwith upon the applicable Swing Loan Lender’s demand therefor, and until such time as such Lender makes the required payment, such applicable Swing Loan Lender shall be deemed to continue to have outstanding Swing Loans in the amount
of such unpaid participation obligation for all purposes of the Loan Documents (other than those provisions requiring the other Lenders to purchase a participation therein). Further, such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments
made of principal and interest on its Revolving Credit Loans, and any other amounts due it hereunder, to the applicable Swing Loan Lender to fund Swing Loans in the amount of the participation in Swing Loans that such Lender failed to purchase
pursuant to this Section until such amount has been purchased (as a result of such assignment or otherwise). 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 Lender under its Commitment. 

  
 36 

 (h) Upon demand by the Agent or a Swing Loan Lender at any time while a Lender is a
Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent for the benefit of the Swing Loan Lender within one (1) Business Day of such demand, cash collateral or other credit support satisfactory to the applicable Swing Loan Lender in its sole
discretion in an amount equal to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Swing Loans then outstanding 

§2.5 Interest on Loans. 

(a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the date on which such Base
Rate Loan is repaid or converted to a LIBOR Rate Loan at the rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. 

(b) Each LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of each
Interest Period with respect thereto at the rate per annum equal to the sum of LIBOR determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin. 

(c) The Borrower promises to pay interest on each Loan in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect thereto and on any earlier date
on which the Commitments shall terminate as provided in §2.3. 
 (d) Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Rate Loans may be converted to Loans of
the other Type as provided in §4.1. 
 §2.6 Requests for Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrower shall give to the Agent
written notice executed by an Authorized Officer in the form of Exhibit D hereto (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing in the form of Exhibit D hereto) of each Revolving Credit Loan requested
hereunder (a “Loan Request Notice”) by 12:00 noon on the date of the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to Base Rate Loans and three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans. Each
such notice shall specify with respect to the requested Revolving Credit Loan the proposed principal amount of such Revolving Credit Loan, the Type of Revolving Credit Loan, the initial Interest Period (if applicable) for such Revolving Credit Loan
and the Drawdown Date. Each such notice shall also contain (i) a general statement as to the purpose for which such advance shall be used (which purpose shall be in accordance with the terms of §2.8) and (ii) a certification by an
Authorized Officer that the Borrower and Guarantors, if any, 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 Lenders thereof. Each such Loan Request Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept the Revolving Credit Loan requested from the Lenders on the proposed Drawdown
Date. Each Loan Request Notice shall be (a) for a Base Rate Loan in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 in excess thereof; or (b) for a LIBOR Rate Loan in a minimum aggregate amount of
$1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $500,000.00 in excess thereof; provided, however, that there shall be no more than ten (10) different Interest Periods for LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding at any one time. 

  
 37 

 §2.7 Funds for Loans. 

(a) Not later than 2:00 p.m. on the proposed Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loans, each of the Lenders 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 Revolving Credit Loans which may be disbursed pursuant to §2.1. Upon receipt from each
such Lender of such amount, and upon receipt of the documents required by §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 made available to the Agent by the Lenders, as applicable, as instructed by Borrower not later than 3:00 p.m. on the proposed Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loans. The failure or refusal of any 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 Revolving Credit Loans shall not relieve any other Lender from its several obligation hereunder to make available to the Agent
the amount of such other Lender’s Commitment Percentage of any requested Revolving Credit Loans. 
 (b) Unless the Agent shall have
been notified by any Lender prior to the applicable Drawdown Date that such Lender will not make available to Agent such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of a proposed Loan, Agent may in its discretion assume that such Lender has made such Loan
available to Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Agent may, if it chooses, in reliance upon such assumption make such Loan available to the Borrower, and such Lender shall be liable to the Agent for the amount of such
advance. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount upon the Agent’s demand therefor, the Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall promptly pay such corresponding amount to the Agent. The Agent shall also be
entitled to recover from the Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Agent to the Borrower to the date such
corresponding amount is recovered by the Agent at a per annum rate equal to (i) from the Borrower at the applicable rate for such Loan or (ii) from a Lender at the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus one percent (1%). 

§2.8 Use of Proceeds. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans and the Letters of Credit solely to pay closing costs in
connection with this Agreement and to refinance the Existing Credit Agreement, refinance other outstanding Indebtedness, finance acquisitions and development, and for general corporate purposes of the Borrower, REIT, and Borrower’s
Subsidiaries. 
 §2.9 Letters of Credit. 

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at any time and from time to time from the Closing Date through the day
that is thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date, each 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 E hereto (a
“Letter of Credit Request”) to such Issuing Lender and the Agent, or amend or extend such Letter of Letters of Credit up to a maximum aggregate Stated Amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed $75,000,000 (the “L/C
Commitment Amount”); provided, that an Issuing Lender shall not be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, the aggregate Stated Amount of the

  
 38 

 
outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender would exceed the lesser of (i) one-third of the L/C Commitment Amount and (ii) the
Commitment of such Issuing Lender in its capacity as a Lender, provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would arise as a result thereof, (ii) in no event shall the sum of (A) the
Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans and (B) the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities (after giving effect to all Letters of Credit requested) exceed the Total Commitment or cause a violation of the covenants set forth
in §9.1, (iii) the conditions set forth in §11 shall have been satisfied, (iv) in no event shall any amount drawn under a Letter of Credit be available for reinstatement or a subsequent drawing under such Letter of Credit; and
(v) unless agreed to by an Issuing Lender, the Borrower shall not request and an Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, a Letter of Credit with a face amount of less than $100,000.00. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this §2.9, no Issuing Lender shall be obligated to issue, amend, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit at a time when any other Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless the applicable Issuing Lender is satisfied that the participation
therein will otherwise be fully allocated to the Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders consistent with §2.12(d) and the Defaulting Lender shall have no participation therein, except to the extent
such Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender which are satisfactory to such 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. An Issuing Lender may assume that the conditions in §11 have been satisfied unless it receives written notice from a Lender that such conditions have not been satisfied. Each
Letter of Credit Request shall be executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower. Each Issuing Lender shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Person’s authority to request a Letter of Credit on behalf of the Borrower. No Issuing
Lender shall have a 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 applicable Issuing Lender and the Required
Lenders otherwise consent, the term of any Letter of Credit shall not exceed a period of time commencing on the issuance of the Letter of Credit and ending on the date which is thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date (but in any event the
term shall not extend beyond the Maturity Date). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the expiration date of any Letter of Credit extend beyond the earlier of (i) the date one year from its date of issuance or (ii) the Maturity
Date; provided, however, a Letter of Credit may contain a provision providing for the automatic extension of the expiration date in the absence of a notice of non-renewal from the Agent but in no event
shall any such provision permit the extension of the expiration date of such Letter of Credit beyond the Maturity Date; provided further, that a Letter of Credit may, as a result of its express terms or as the result of the effect of an
automatic extension provision, have an expiration of not more than one year beyond the Maturity Date (any such Letter of Credit being referred to as an “Extended Letter of Credit”) so long as the Borrower delivers to the Agent no later
than 30 days prior to the Maturity Date Cash Collateral for such Letter of Credit for deposit into the Collateral Account in an amount equal to the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit; provided, that the obligations of
the Borrower under this section in respect of such Extended Letters of Credit shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in effect until no such Extended Letters of Credit remain outstanding. If the Borrower fails to provide
Cash Collateral with respect to any Extended Letter of Credit by the date 30 days prior to the Maturity Date, such failure shall be treated as a drawing under such Extended Letter of Credit (in an amount equal to the maximum Stated Amount of such
Letter of Credit), which shall be reimbursed (or participations therein funded) by the Lenders in accordance with the immediately following subsections (h) and (i), with the proceeds being utilized to provide Cash Collateral for such Letter of
Credit. 

  
 39 

 
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 Commitment as a Loan. Each Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Agent of the issuance of any Letter of Credit, including the amount thereof. The Existing Letters of Credit shall upon the Closing Date be
deemed to be Letters of Credit under this Agreement. 
 (b) Each Letter of Credit Request shall be submitted to the Issuing Lender selected
by the Borrower to issue such Letter of Credit and the Agent at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as the applicable Issuing Lender and Agent 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 §2.8 of this Agreement), and (ii) a
certification by an Authorized Officer that the Borrower and Guarantors, if any, 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 applicable Issuing Lender such additional applications (which application as of the date hereof is in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto) and documents as such 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, the terms of this Agreement shall control. 

(c) The applicable Issuing Lender shall, subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, issue the requested Letter of Credit on or
before five (5) Business Days following receipt of the documents last due pursuant to §2.9(b). Each Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender and Borrower in their reasonable discretion.

 (d) [reserved]. 
 (e) Upon
the issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender that issued such Letter of Credit (i) for its own account, a Letter of Credit fee calculated at the rate of one-eighth
of one percent (0.125%) per annum of the amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (which fee shall not be less than $1,500 in any event), and (ii) for the accounts of the Lenders (including the Issuing Lender that issued such
Letter of Credit) 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 LIBOR Rate Loans on the
amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Such fees under §2.9(e)(ii) shall be payable in quarterly installments in arrears with respect to each Letter of Credit on the first day of each fiscal 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 Commitments shall terminate and on the expiration or return of any Letter of Credit. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to
Issuing Lender for its own account within five (5) days of demand of Issuing Lender the standard issuance and documentation charges for Letters of Credit issued from time to time by Issuing Lender. 

(f) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender that
issued such Letter of Credit shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent thereof along with such Issuing Lender’s 

  
 40 

 
determination that such demand for payment complies with the requirement of such Letter of Credit and the date on which payment is to be made by such Issuing Bank as a result of such demand. The
Borrower hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to pay and reimburse each Issuing Lender for the amount of each demand for payment under each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender at or prior to the date on which payment
is to be made by such Issuing Lender to the beneficiary thereunder, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind (other than as provided in this subsection). Upon receipt by an Issuing Lender of any payment in respect of any
Reimbursement Obligation, such Issuing Lender shall promptly pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender that has acquired a participation therein under the second sentence of the immediately following subsection (h) such Lender’s
Commitment Percentage of such payment. 
 (g) Upon its receipt of a notice referred to in the immediately preceding subsection (f), the
Borrower shall advise the Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender whether or not the Borrower intends to borrow hereunder to finance its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Lender for the amount of the related demand for payment and, if it does,
the Borrower shall submit a timely request for such borrowing as provided in the applicable provisions of this Agreement. If the Borrower fails to so advise the Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender, or if the Borrower fails to reimburse the
applicable Issuing Lender for a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit by the date of such payment, the failure of which the applicable Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Agent, then (i) if the applicable conditions contained in
§11 would permit the making of Revolving Credit Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans (which shall be Base Rate Loans) in an amount equal to the unpaid Reimbursement Obligation and the Agent
shall give each Lender prompt notice (with a copy to the Borrower) of the amount of the Revolving Credit Loan to be made available to the Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. and (ii) if such conditions would not permit the making of Revolving
Credit Loans, the provisions of subsection (i) of this Section shall apply. The limitations set forth in the sixth sentence of §2.6 shall not apply to any borrowing of Base Rate Loans under this subsection. 

(h) Immediately upon (i) the Closing Date with respect to all Existing Letters of Credit and (ii) the date of issuance by an Issuing
Lender of any Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to have absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the applicable Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the
extent of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the liability of such Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit and each Lender thereby shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety,
and shall be unconditionally obligated to such Issuing Lender to pay and discharge when due, to the extent and in the manner set forth in the immediately following subsection (i) below, such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such Issuing
Lender’s liability under such Letter of Credit. In addition, upon the making of each payment by a Lender to the Agent for the account of an Issuing Lender in respect of any Letter of Credit issued by it pursuant to the immediately following
subsection (i), such Lender shall, automatically and without any further action on the part of such Issuing Lender, the Agent or such Lender, acquire (i) a participation in an amount equal to such payment in the Reimbursement Obligation
owing to such Issuing Lender by the Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit and (ii) a participation in a percentage equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage in any interest or other amounts payable by the Borrower in respect of
such Reimbursement Obligation (other than the Fees payable to such Issuing Lender pursuant to §2.9(e)(i)). 

  
 41 

 (i) Each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent, for the account of each Issuing
Lender, on demand in immediately available funds in Dollars the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of each drawing paid by such Issuing Lender under each Letter of Credit issued by it to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by
the Borrower pursuant to the immediately preceding subsection (g); provided, however, that in respect of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the maximum amount that any Lender shall be required to fund, whether as a Revolving
Credit Loan or as a participation, shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such drawing except as otherwise provided in §2.12(d). If the notice referenced in the first sentence of §2.9(g) is received by a Lender not
later than 12:00 p.m., then such Lender shall make such payment available to the Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of demand therefor; otherwise, such payment shall be made available to the Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. on the next
succeeding Business Day. Each Lender’s obligation to make such payments to the Agent under this subsection, and the Agent’s right to receive the same for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender, shall be absolute, irrevocable and
unconditional and shall not be affected in any way by any circumstance whatsoever, including without limitation, (i) the failure of any other Lender to make its payment under this subsection, (ii) the financial condition of the Borrower or
any other Loan Party, (iii) the existence of any Default or Event of Default, including any Event of Default described in §12(g), (h) or (i), (iv) the termination of the Commitments or (v) the delivery of Cash Collateral in
respect of any Extended Letter of Credit. Each such payment to the Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or deduction whatsoever. 

(j) 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. 
 (k) The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts, omissions, or misuse of any
Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. Neither Agent, any 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, telecopy, electronic mail or otherwise; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document or
draft required by or from a beneficiary in order to make a disbursement under a Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; (vii) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter
of Credit; and (viii) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Agent or any Lender. None of the foregoing will affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the rights or powers granted to Agent, the Issuing Lenders 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 Agent, Issuing Lenders or the other Lenders in good faith will be binding on the Borrower and
will not put Agent, Issuing Lenders or 

  
 42 

 
the other Lenders under any resulting liability to the Borrower; provided nothing contained herein shall relieve any Issuing Lender for liability to the Borrower arising as a result of the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods. 

(l) Upon demand by the Agent or the Issuing Lender at any time while a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent
for the benefit of the Issuing Lender within one (1) Business Day of such demand, cash collateral or other credit support satisfactory to the Issuing Lender in its sole discretion in an amount equal to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment
Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities then outstanding. 
 §2.10 Increase in Total
Commitment. 
 (a) Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, subject to the terms and conditions set
forth in this §2.10, the Borrower shall have the option from time to time prior to the Maturity Date to request one or more increases in the Total Commitment to not more than $1,500,000,000.00 (less the amount of any reductions of the Total
Commitments under §2.3) 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 $25,000,000.00 and increments of $5,000,000.00 in excess thereof (or such smaller amounts as the Agent may approve). Upon receipt of any Increase Notice, the Agent shall consult with Arrangers and shall notify the Borrower of the
amount of facility fees to be paid to any Lenders who provide an additional Commitment in connection with such increase in the Total Commitment (which shall be in addition to the fees to be paid to Agent or to the Arrangers pursuant to the Agreement
Regarding Fees). If the Borrower agrees to pay the facility fees so determined, then the Agent shall send a notice to all Lenders (the “Additional Commitment Request Notice”) informing them of the Borrower’s request to increase the
Total Commitment and of the facility fees to be paid with respect thereto. Each Lender who desires to provide an additional Commitment upon such terms shall provide Agent with a written commitment letter specifying the amount of the additional
Commitment by which it is willing to provide prior to such deadline as may be specified in the Additional Commitment Request Notice. If the requested increase is oversubscribed then the Borrower, the Agent and the Arrangers shall allocate the
Commitment Increase among the Lenders who provide such commitment letters on such basis as they shall reasonably agree. If the additional Commitments so provided are not sufficient to provide the full amount of the Commitment Increase requested by
the Borrower, then the Agent, Arrangers 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 Agent, Arrangers and the Borrower) to
become a Lender and provide an additional Commitment. The Agent shall provide all Lenders with a notice setting forth the amount, if any, of the additional Commitment to be provided by each Lender and the revised Commitment Percentages which shall
be applicable after the effective date of the Commitment Increase specified therein (the “Increase Date”). In no event shall any Lender be obligated to provide an additional Commitment. 

(b) On any Increase Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loans and participation in Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among the
Lenders such that after the applicable Increase Date the outstanding principal amount of Loans owed to and participations in 

  
 43 

 
Letters of Credit of each Lender shall be equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage (as in effect after the applicable Increase Date) of the Outstanding principal amount of all Loans and
Letters of Credit Outstanding. On any Increase Date those Lenders whose Commitment Percentage is increasing shall advance the funds to the Agent and the funds so advanced shall be distributed among the Lenders whose Commitment Percentage is
decreasing as necessary to accomplish the required reallocation of the outstanding Loans. The funds so advanced shall be Base Rate Loans until converted to LIBOR Rate Loans which are allocated among all Lenders based on their Commitment Percentages.

 (c) Upon the effective date of each increase in the Total Commitment pursuant to this §2.10 the Agent may unilaterally revise
Schedule 1.1 and the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Agent new Notes for each Lender whose Commitment has changed so that the principal amount of such Lender’s Note shall equal its Commitment. The Agent shall
deliver such replacement Notes to the respective Lenders in exchange for the Notes replaced thereby which shall be promptly surrendered by such Lenders to Borrower. Such new Notes shall provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Notes
and that they do not constitute a novation, shall be dated as of the Increase Date and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the replaced Notes. Simultaneously with the issuance of any new Notes pursuant to this §2.10(c), if required
by the Agent, 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 Notes and the enforceability thereof, in form and substance substantially
similar to the opinion delivered in connection with the first disbursement under this Agreement. The surrendered Notes shall be canceled and promptly returned to the Borrower. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the obligation of the Agent and the Lenders to increase the Total Commitment
pursuant to this §2.10 shall be conditioned upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent which must be satisfied prior to the effectiveness of any increase of the Total Commitment: 

(i) The Borrower shall pay (A) to the Agent those fees described in and contemplated by the Agreement Regarding Fees with respect to the
applicable Commitment Increase, and (B) to the Arrangers such facility fees as the Lenders who are providing an additional Commitment may require to increase the aggregate Commitment, which fees shall, when paid, be fully earned and non-refundable under any circumstances. The Arrangers shall pay to the Lenders acquiring the increased Commitment certain fees pursuant to their separate agreement; and 

(ii) On the date any Increase Notice is given and on the date such increase becomes effective, both immediately before and after the Total
Commitment is increased, there shall exist no Default or Event of Default; and 
 (iii) The representations and warranties made by the
Borrower and the Guarantors, if any, in the Loan Documents or otherwise in connection therewith on 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 Commitment is increased, both immediately before and after the Total Commitment is increased (it being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty which by its
terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects only as of such specified date, and that any representation or warranty that is qualified by any materiality standard shall be required to be true
and correct in all respects); and 

  
 44 

 (iv) The Borrower and the Guarantors, if any, shall execute and deliver to Agent and the
Lenders such additional documents, instruments, certifications and opinions as the Agent may reasonably require in its sole and absolute discretion, including, without limitation, a Compliance Certificate, demonstrating compliance with all
covenants, representations and warranties set forth in the Loan Documents after giving effect to the increase; and 
 (v) The Borrower and
the Guarantors, if any, shall satisfy such other conditions to such increase as Agent may require in its reasonable discretion. 

§2.11 Extension of Maturity Date. The Borrower shall have the right, exercisable two times, to extend the Maturity Date, as in
effect as of the date such right is exercised, by six (6) months per each request, upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent, which must be satisfied prior to the effectiveness of any extension of the Maturity Date: 

(a) Extension Request. The Borrower shall deliver written notice of such request (the “Extension Request”) to the Agent not
earlier than the date which is ninety (90) days and not later than the date which is thirty (30) days prior to the then current Maturity Date (as determined without regard to such extension). 

(b) Payment of Extension Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the pro rata accounts of the Lenders in accordance with their
respective Commitments an extension fee in an amount equal to six and one-quarter (6.25) basis points on the Total Commitment in effect on the then current Maturity Date (as determined without regard to such
extension), which fee shall, when paid, be fully earned and non-refundable under any circumstances. 

(c) No Default. On the date an Extension Request is given and on the then current Maturity Date (as determined without regard to such
extension) there shall exist no Default or Event of Default. 
 (d) Representations and Warranties. The representations and
warranties made by the Borrower and the Guarantors, if any, in the Loan Documents or otherwise in connection therewith on 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 an Extension Request is given and on the then current Maturity Date (as determined without regard to such extension) (it being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty which by its terms
is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects only as of such specified date, and that any representation or warranty that is qualified by any materiality standard shall be required to be true and
correct in all respects). 
 §2.12 Defaulting Lenders. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no
longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the Agent, the Lenders or the Borrower under this Agreement or Applicable Law: 

(a) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect
to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders and in §27. 

  
 45 

 (b) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. 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, pursuant to §12 or otherwise) or received by the Agent from a 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 hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting
Lender to the Issuing Lender or the Swing Loan Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposures with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with subsection (e) below; 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 deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this
Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ future Fronting Exposures with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with subsection (e) below;
sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders or the Swing Loan Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any Issuing Lender or 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 (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender under §2.9(i) in respect of Letters of Credit
(such amounts “L/C Disbursements”), in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions
set forth in §11 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to
the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swing Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with
their respective Commitment Percentages (determined without giving effect to the immediately following subsection (d)). 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 subsection shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents thereto. 

(c) Certain Fees. 
 (i) No
Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Facility Fee payable under §2.2 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been
required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) 

  
 46 

 (ii) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive the fee payable
under §2.9(e)(ii) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Commitment Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to the
immediately following subsection (e). 
 (iii) With respect to any Facility Fee or Letter of Credit fee not required to
be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to the immediately preceding clauses (i) or (ii), the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to
such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities or Swing Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to the
immediately following subsection (d), (y) pay to the Issuing Lenders and the Swing Loan Lenders, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Lenders’ or
Swing Loan Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee. 

(d) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in
Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swing Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (determined without regard to such Defaulting
Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such
Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. Subject to §37, 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. 
 (e) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Loans. 

(i) If the reallocation described in the immediately preceding subsection (d) above cannot, or can only partially, be
effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swing Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Loan Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash
Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposures in accordance with the procedures set forth in this subsection. 

(ii) At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within five (5) Business Days following the written request
of the Agent or an Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Agent), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize such Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to the immediately preceding
subsection (d) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the aggregate Fronting Exposure of such Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at such time. 

  
 47 

 (iii) The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender,
such Defaulting Lender, hereby grant to the Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lenders, and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund
participations in respect of Letter of Credit Liabilities, to be applied pursuant to the immediately following clause (iv). If at any time the Agent reasonably determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other
than the Agent and the Issuing Lenders as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the aggregate Fronting Exposures of the Issuing Lenders with respect to Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at such time,
the Borrower will, within five (5) Business Days following the written request of the Agent, pay or provide to the Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral
provided by the Defaulting Lender). 
 (iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash
Collateral provided under this Section in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Liabilities (including, as to Cash
Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein. 

(v) Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposures shall
no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this subsection following (x) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or
(y) the determination by the Agent and the Issuing Lenders that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to the immediately preceding subsection (b), the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuing Lenders
may (but shall not be obligated to) agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and provided further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the
Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents. 
 (f) Defaulting
Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Agent, the Swing Loan Lenders and the Issuing Lenders agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in
such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or
take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment
Percentages (determined without giving effect to the immediately preceding subsection (d)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to Fees accrued
or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender
to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 

  
 48 

 (g) Purchase of Defaulting Lender’s Commitment/Loans. During any period that a
Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower may, by the Borrower giving written notice thereof to the Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, demand that such Defaulting Lender assign its Commitment and Loans to an assignee subject to
and in accordance with the provisions of §18. No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an assignee. In addition, any Lender who is not a Defaulting Lender may, but shall not
be obligated, in its sole discretion, acquire the face amount of all or a portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment and Loans via an assignment subject to and in accordance with the provisions of §18. In connection with any such
assignment, such Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to effect such assignment, including an appropriate Assignment and Assumption and, notwithstanding §18, shall pay to the Agent an assignment fee in the
amount of $7,500. The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Agent or any of the Lenders. 

§2.13 Pro Rata Share. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing from the Lenders under §2.1,
§2.4 and §2.9 shall be made from the Lenders, each payment of the fees under §2.2, §2.9(e)(ii) and §2.11(b) shall be made for the account of the Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments
under §2.3 shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments; (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans shall be made for the account of the Lenders
pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by them, provided that, subject to §2.12, if immediately prior to giving effect to any such payment in respect of any Loans the outstanding principal amount
of the Loans shall not be held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments in effect at the time such Loans were made, then such payment shall be applied to the Loans in such manner as shall result, as nearly as is
practicable, in the outstanding principal amount of the Loans being held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with such respective Commitments; (c) each payment of interest on Loans shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in
accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders; (d) the conversion and continuation of Loans of a particular Type shall be made pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts of their
respective Loans and the then current Interest Period for each Lender’s portion of each such Loan of such Type shall be coterminous; (e) the Lenders’ participation in, and payment obligations in respect of, Swing Loans under
§2.4, shall be in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages; and (f) the Lenders’ participation in, and payment obligations in respect of, Letters of Credit under §2.9, shall be in accordance with their respective
Commitment Percentages. All payments of principal, interest, fees and other amounts in respect of the Swing Loans shall be for the account of the Swing Loan Lender only (except to the extent any Lender shall have acquired a participating interest in
any such Swing Loan pursuant to §2.4(e), in which case such payments shall be pro rata in accordance with such participating interests). 
 §3.
REPAYMENT OF THE LOANS. 
 §3.1 Stated Maturity. The Borrower promises to pay on the Maturity Date and there shall become
absolutely due and payable on the Maturity Date all of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans outstanding on such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. 

  
 49 

 §3.2 Mandatory Prepayments. If at any time the sum of the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans and the aggregate Letter of Credit Liabilities exceeds the Total Commitment then the Borrower shall immediately pay the amount of such excess to the Agent for the respective
accounts of the Lenders, as applicable, for application to the Loans as provided in §3.4, together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to §4.8, except that the amount of any Swing Loans shall be paid solely to the applicable Swing
Loan Lender. 
 §3.3 Optional Prepayments. 

(a) The Borrower shall have the right, at its election, to prepay the outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans, as a
whole or in part, at any time and from time to time without penalty or premium; provided, that if any prepayment of the outstanding amount of any LIBOR Rate Loans pursuant to this §3.3 is made on a date that is not the last day of the
Interest Period relating thereto, such prepayment shall be accompanied by the payment of any amounts due pursuant to §4.8. 
 (b) The
Borrower shall give the Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. at least three (3) days prior written notice of any prepayment pursuant to this §3.3 of LIBOR Rate Loans unless a shorter notice period is agreed to in writing by the Agent, and
one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice of any prepayment pursuant to this §3.3 of Base Rate Loans, 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). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prior notice shall be required for the prepayment of any Swing Loan. 

§3.4 Partial Prepayments. Each partial prepayment of the Loans under §3.3 shall be in a minimum amount of $100,000.00 or an
integral multiple of $100,000.00 in excess thereof, shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest on the principal prepaid to the date of payment. Each partial payment under §3.2 and §3.3 shall be applied first to the principal
of any Outstanding Swing Loans, then to the principal of Revolving Credit Loans. In the absence of instruction by the Borrower, prepayments shall be applied first to the principal of Base Rate Loans, and then to the principal of LIBOR Rate Loans.

 §3.5 Effect of Prepayments. Amounts of the Loans prepaid under §3.2 and §3.3 prior to the Maturity Date may be
reborrowed as provided in §2. 
 §4. CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS. 

§4.1 Conversion Options. 

(a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert any of its outstanding Revolving Credit Loans to a Revolving Credit Loan of another
Type and such Revolving Credit Loans shall thereafter bear interest as a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan, as applicable; provided that (i) with respect to any such conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, the Borrower
shall give the Agent at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice of such election, and such conversion shall only be made on the last day of the Interest Period with respect to such LIBOR Rate Loan; (ii) with respect to any
such conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a 

  
 50 

 
LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrower shall give the Agent at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of such election and the Interest Period requested for such Loan, the principal
amount of the Loan so converted shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $500,000.00 in excess thereof and, after giving effect to the making of such Loan, there shall be no more than ten (10) different
Interest Periods for LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding at any one time unless all of the Lenders otherwise consent in writing; and (iii) no Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Rate Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing. All or any part of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans 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 $1,000,000.00 or an
integral multiple of $100,000.00 or a LIBOR Rate Loan in a principal amount of less than $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $500,000.00. 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 Lending Office. Each Conversion/Continuation Request relating to the conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be irrevocable by the Borrower. The Agent shall promptly notify
the Lenders of the applicable LIBOR or Base Rate. 
 (b) Any LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as such Type upon the expiration of an
Interest Period with respect thereto by compliance by the Borrower with the terms of §4.1; provided that no LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as such when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but shall be
automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto ending during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default. 

(c) Subject to the proviso in the preceding clause (b), in the event that the Borrower does not notify the Agent of its election hereunder
with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan, such Loan shall be automatically continued at the end of the applicable Interest Period as a LIBOR Rate Loan for an Interest Period of one month unless such Interest Period shall be greater than the time
remaining until the Maturity Date, in which case such Loan shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan at the end of the applicable Interest Period. 

§4.2 Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to Wells Fargo Bank, KeyBank, JPM, Agent and Arrangers for their own account certain fees
for services rendered or to be rendered in connection with the Loans as provided pursuant to the Fee Letter (the “Agreement Regarding Fees”). All such fees shall be fully earned when paid and nonrefundable under any circumstances. 

§4.3 Agent’s Fee. The Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the Agent’s own account, an annual administration
fee as provided in the Agreement Regarding Fees. The Agent’s fee shall be payable as provided in the Agreement Regarding Fees. 

§4.4 Funds for Payments. 

(a) All payments of principal, interest, facility fees, Letter of Credit fees, closing fees and any other amounts due hereunder or under any
of the other Loan Documents shall be made to the Agent, for the respective accounts of the Lenders and the Agent, as the case may be, at the Agent’s Head Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. on the day when due, in each case in lawful money of the
United States in immediately available funds. If not received by 2:00 p.m. on the 

  
 51 

 
day when due, the Agent is hereby authorized to charge the accounts of the Borrower with Wells Fargo Bank, 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 Lenders) under the Loan Documents. Subject to the foregoing, all payments made to Agent on
behalf of the Lenders, and actually received by Agent, shall be deemed received by the Lenders on the date actually received by Agent. 

(b) The obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders (including the Swing Loan Lender) under this Agreement (and of the Lenders to make payments
to the Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including,
without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any of the other Loan Documents; (ii) any improper use which may be made of any Letter of Credit or any
improper acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit in connection therewith; (iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or any right which the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries or Affiliates may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting) or the 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, or any of its 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 court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all
applicable appeal periods; (viii) any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of the proceeds of such Letter of Credit; (ix) the legality, validity, form,
regularity or enforceability of the Letter of Credit; (x) the failure of any payment by Issuing Lender to conform to the terms of a Letter of Credit (if, in Issuing Lender’s good faith judgment, such payment is determined to be
appropriate); (xi) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; (xii) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; and (xiii) any other circumstance
or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, provided that such other circumstances or happenings shall not have been the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender as determined by
a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods.

 §4.5 Computations. All computations of interest on the LIBOR Rate 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. All computations of interest on Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by
reference to the LIBOR Rate) shall be based on a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and paid for the actual number of days elapsed. Except as otherwise provided in the definition of the term “Interest Period” with respect to LIBOR
Rate Loans, whenever a payment hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue during
such extension. The Outstanding Loans 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. 

§4.6 Suspension of LIBOR Rate Loans. 

(a) If, on or prior to the determination of LIBOR for any Interest Period: 

(i) the Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market,
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period; or 
 (ii) the Agent reasonably determines
(which determination shall be conclusive) that LIBOR is not likely to adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans for such Interest Period; or 

(iii) the Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits
referred to in the definition of LIBOR are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for LIBOR Rate Loans; 

then the Agent shall give the Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, in the case of clauses (i),
(ii) and (iii), the Lenders shall be under no obligation to, and shall not, make additional LIBOR Rate Loans, continue LIBOR Rate Loans or convert Loans into LIBOR Rate Loans and the Borrower shall, on the last day of each current Interest Period
for each outstanding LIBOR Rate Loan, either repay such Loan or convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan. 
 (b) Benchmark
Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Agent and the
Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR 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 Required Lenders. Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered
to the Agent written notice that such Required Lenders accept such amendment. No replacement of LIBOR with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to clauses (b)-(e) of this §4.6 will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date. 

(c) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Agent will have the
right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become
effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement. 

  
 53 

 (d) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Agent will promptly
notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition
Start Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any
determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or Lenders pursuant to clauses (b)-(e) of this §4.6, 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 or their sole discretion and
without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to clauses (b)-(e) of this §4.6. 

(e) 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 a LIBOR Rate Loan, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR 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, the component of Base Rate based upon LIBOR will not be used in any determination of Base Rate. 

§4.7 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any present or future law, regulation, treaty or directive or the
interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority having jurisdiction over a Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make or maintain
LIBOR Rate Loans, such Lender shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances to the Agent and the Borrower and thereupon (a) the commitment of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall forthwith be suspended and (b) the LIBOR Rate
Loans then outstanding shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loans or within such earlier period as may be required by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, before
giving such notice, the applicable Lender shall designate a different lending office if such designation will void the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender
or increase any costs payable by Borrower hereunder. 
 §4.8 Additional Interest. If any LIBOR Rate Loan or any portion thereof
is repaid or is converted to a Base Rate Loan for any reason on a date which is prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan, or if repayment of the Loans has been accelerated as provided in §12.1, the
Borrower will pay to the Agent upon demand for the account of the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (or to the Swing Loan Lender with respect to a Swing Loan), in addition to any amounts of interest
otherwise payable hereunder, the Breakage Costs. The Borrower understands, agrees and acknowledges the following: (i) no Lender has any obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection

  
 54 

 
with the use of LIBOR as a basis for calculating the rate of interest on a LIBOR Rate Loan; (ii) LIBOR is used merely as a reference in determining such rate; and (iii) the Borrower has
accepted LIBOR as a reasonable and fair basis for calculating such rate and any Breakage Costs. The Borrower further agrees to pay the Breakage Costs, if any, whether or not a Lender elects to purchase, sell and/or match funds. 

§4.9 Additional Costs, Etc. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any 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: 
 (a) 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 (other than for Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes,
and Connection Income Taxes), or 
 (b) materially change the basis of taxation (except for changes in taxes on gross receipts, income or
profits or its franchise tax) of payments to any Lender of the principal of or the interest on any Loans or any other amounts payable to any Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or 

(c) impose or increase or render applicable any special deposit, reserve (other than the Eurodollar Reserve Percentage), 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 
 (d) 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: 
 (i) to increase the cost to any Lender of making, funding, issuing, renewing, extending or maintaining any of the
Loans, the Letters of Credit or such Lender’s Commitment, or 
 (ii) 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 Letters of Credit, or 

(iii) 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, 

  
 55 

 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. 
 §4.10 Capital Adequacy. If after the date hereof any Lender in good faith determines that
(a) the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital 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 capital adequacy or liquidity (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 or liquidity 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 or liquidity 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 §4.9 and §4.10, 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. 

§4.11 Breakage Costs. The Borrower shall pay all Breakage Costs required to be paid by them pursuant to this Agreement and
incurred from time to time by any Lender upon demand within fifteen (15) days from receipt of written notice from Agent, or such earlier date as may be required by this Agreement. 

§4.12 Default Interest. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and regardless of whether or
not the Agent or the Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans, all Loans shall bear interest payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to 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
(2.0%) 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. 

  
 56 

 §4.13 Certificate. A certificate setting forth any amounts payable pursuant to
§4.8, §4.9, §4.10, §4.11 or §4.12 and a reasonably detailed explanation of such amounts which are due, submitted by any Lender or the Agent to the Borrower, shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 

§4.14 Limitation on Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, all
agreements between or among the Borrower, the Guarantors, if any, 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 or, if such excessive
interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Obligations, such excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated,
allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal of the Obligations (including the period of any renewal or extension thereof) so that the interest thereon for such full period shall not exceed the maximum
amount permitted by Applicable Law. This Section shall control all agreements between or among the Borrower, the Guarantors, if any, the Lenders and the Agent. 

§4.15 Certain Provisions Relating to Increased Costs. If a Lender gives notice of the existence of the circumstances set forth in
§4.7 or any Lender requests compensation for any losses or costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any one or more of the provisions of §4.16(b) (as a result of the imposition of U.S. withholding taxes on amounts paid to such Lender under
this Agreement), §4.9 or §4.10 and the Required Lenders are not also doing the same, then, upon request of the Borrower, such Lender, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts in a manner consistent with such institution’s practice
in connection with loans like the Loan of such Lender to eliminate, mitigate or reduce amounts that would otherwise be payable by the Borrower under the foregoing provisions, provided that such action would not be otherwise prejudicial to
such Lender, including, without limitation, by designating another of such Lender’s offices, branches or affiliates; the Borrower agreeing to pay all reasonably incurred costs and expenses incurred by such Lender in connection with any such
action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and if any Lender has given notice of the existence of the circumstances set forth in §4.7 or has
requested payment or compensation for any losses or costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any one or more of the provisions of §4.16(b) (as a result of the imposition of U.S. withholding taxes on amounts paid to such Lender under this
Agreement), §4.9 or §4.10 for which the Required Lenders are not also doing the same and following the request of the Borrower has been unable to take the steps described above to mitigate such amounts (each, an “Affected
Lender”), then, within thirty (30) days after such notice or request for payment or compensation, the Borrower shall have the one-time right as to such Affected Lender, to be exercised by delivery of
written notice delivered to the Agent and the Affected Lender within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice, to elect to 

  
 57 

 
cause the Affected Lender to transfer its Commitment. The Agent shall promptly notify the remaining Lenders that each of such Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire a
portion of the Commitment, pro rata based upon their relevant Commitment Percentages, of the Affected Lender (or if any of such Lenders does not elect to purchase its pro rata share, then to such remaining Lenders in such proportion as approved by
the Agent). Upon any such purchase of the Commitment of the Affected Lender, the Affected Lender’s interest in the Obligations and its rights hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall terminate at the date of purchase, and the Affected
Lender, shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest. The purchase price for the Affected Lender’s Commitment shall equal any and all amounts outstanding and owed by the Borrower to the
Affected Lender, including principal, prepayment premium or fee, and all accrued and unpaid interest or fees. 
 §4.16 Taxes.

 (a) Issuing Lender. For purposes of this Section, the term “Lender” includes the Issuing Lenders and the term
“Applicable Law” includes FATCA. 
 (b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of
the Borrower or any other Guarantor under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable
Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount
deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the 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 Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deduction or withholding been made. 
 (c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower and the other 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. 

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

  
 58 

 (e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent,
within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower or another Guarantor has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting
the obligation of the Borrower and the other Guarantors to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of §18 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. The provisions of this
subsection shall continue to inure to the benefit of an Agent following its resignation or removal as Agent. 
 (f) Evidence of
Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, the Borrower or such other Guarantor shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified
copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. 

(g) Status of Lenders. 

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any
Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the 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. 

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person: 

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

  
 59 

 (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable
request of the Borrower or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (I) in the case of a Foreign Lender
claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Agent) of an executed
IRS Form W-8BEN, or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, 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, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 

(II) an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8ECI; 
 (III) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption
for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank”
within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign
corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Agent) of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable,; or 

(IV) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the
Borrower or the Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-2 or Exhibit K-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 K-4 on
behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 

  
 60 

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

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if
such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue 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
Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied
with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this
Agreement. 
 Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it
shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 
 (h)
Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of
additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of
all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with
respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (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 

  
 61 

 
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 had 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 deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the 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. 

§5. UNSECURED OBLIGATIONS; GUARANTY. 

§5.1 Unsecured Obligations. The Lenders have agreed to make the Loans to the Borrower and issue Letters of Credit for the account
of the Borrower on an unsecured basis. 
 §5.2 Guarantors. 

(a) In the event that (i) Borrower determines that certain Real Estate of a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower or a Controlled JV
Entity is to be included as an Unencumbered Property and (ii) such Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower or Controlled JV Entity, as applicable, has incurred, acquired, suffered to exist or otherwise is liable with respect to Unsecured
Indebtedness, the Borrower shall, as a condition to such inclusion, cause each such Wholly Owned Subsidiary or Controlled JV Entity, as applicable, to execute and deliver to Agent a Joinder Agreement (and if such Wholly Owned Subsidiary or

market related activities with respect to such Persons’ securities. The Borrower hereby agrees that it will identify that portion of the Information Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (i) all such Information
Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (ii) by marking Information Materials
“PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers to treat such Information Materials as not containing any material non-public information with
respect to the Borrower, its Subsidiaries, its Affiliates or their respective securities for purposes of United States Federal and 

  
 72 

 
state securities laws (provided, however, that such Information Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” or filed on the SEC’s EDGAR Website shall constitute confidential
information, and they shall be treated as provided in §18.7); (iii) all Information Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of any electronic dissemination system designated “Public
Investor” or a similar designation; and (iv) the Agent and the Arrangers shall be entitled to treat any Information Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of any electronic
dissemination system not designated “Public Investor” or a similar designation. In the event that Agent receives paper copies of any material delivered pursuant to this §7.4 which is not made available by Intralinks, SyndTrak or any
other electronic information dissemination system (or by posting to Borrower’s website), Agent shall promptly deliver copies of such material to each Lender. 

§7.5 Notices. 
 (a)
Defaults. The Borrower will within two (2) Business Days of becoming aware of same notify the Agent in writing of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, which notice shall describe such occurrence with reasonable specificity
and shall state that such notice is a “notice of default”. If any Person shall give any notice or take any other action in respect of a claimed default (whether or not constituting an Event of Default) under this Agreement or under any
note, evidence of indebtedness, indenture or other obligation to which or with respect to which the Borrower, or any of its Subsidiaries or the REIT is a party or obligor, whether as principal or surety, and such default would permit the holder of
such note or obligation or other evidence of indebtedness to accelerate the maturity thereof or cause the redemption, prepayment or purchase thereof, which acceleration, redemption, prepayment or purchase would either cause a Default or Event of
Default or have a Material Adverse Effect, the Borrower shall forthwith give written notice thereof to the Agent and each of the Lenders, describing the notice or action and the nature of the claimed default. 

(b) Notice of Material Adverse Events. The Borrower will give notice to the Agent within five (5) Business Days of becoming aware
of any matter that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, including pursuant to any applicable Environmental Laws. 

(c) Notice of Litigation and Judgments. The Borrower will give notice to the Agent in writing within five (5) Business Days of
becoming aware of any litigation or proceedings threatened in writing or any pending litigation and proceedings affecting the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the REIT, or to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the REIT is or is
to become a party that could either cause a Default or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and stating the nature and status of such litigation or proceedings. The Borrower will give notice to the Agent, in writing, in
form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and each of the Lenders, within ten (10) days of any judgment not covered by insurance, whether final or otherwise, against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the REIT in an amount in
excess of $20,000,000.00. 

  
 73 

 (d) ERISA. The Borrower will give notice to the Agent within ten (10) Business
Days after the Borrower, the REIT or any ERISA Affiliate (i) gives or is required to give notice to the PBGC of any ERISA Reportable Event with respect to any Guaranteed Pension Plan, Multiemployer Plan or Employee Benefit Plan, or knows that
the plan administrator of any such plan has given or is required to give notice of any such ERISA Reportable Event; (ii) gives a copy of any notice of complete or partial withdrawal liability under Title IV of ERISA; or (iii) receives any
notice from the PBGC under Title IV or ERISA of an intent to terminate or appoint a trustee to administer any such plan, in each case which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(e) Notification of Lenders. Within five (5) Business Days after receiving any notice under this §7.5, the Agent will forward
a copy thereof to each of the Lenders, together with copies of any certificates or other written information that accompanied such notice. 

§7.6 Existence; Maintenance of Properties. 

(a) The Borrower will, and will cause the REIT and each of their respective Subsidiaries to, preserve and keep in full force and effect their
legal existence in the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation. The Borrower will, and will cause the REIT and each of their respective Subsidiaries to, preserve and keep in full force all of their rights and franchises, the preservation of
which is necessary to the conduct of their business. The Borrower shall continue to own, directly or indirectly, (i) one hundred percent (100%) of the legal, economic, voting and beneficial interest in each Unencumbered Property Subsidiary
(other than a Controlled JV Entity), and (ii) at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the outstanding Equity Interests of each Controlled JV Entity. 

(b) The Borrower (i) will cause all of its properties and those of its Subsidiaries used or useful in the conduct of its business or the
business of its Subsidiaries to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and supplied with all necessary equipment, and (ii) will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals,
replacements, betterments and improvements thereof in all cases in which the failure so to do has had or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

§7.7 Insurance. The Borrower will, at its expense, procure and maintain insurance covering the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and
the Real Estate in such amounts and against such risks and casualties as is customarily maintained by similar businesses. 
 §7.8
Taxes; Liens. The Borrower will, and will cause its Subsidiaries and the REIT to, pay and discharge as the same shall become due and payable, all its material obligations and material liabilities, including all material tax liabilities,
assessments and governmental charges or levies upon it or its properties or assets, unless the same are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP are being maintained
by the Borrower, or such Subsidiary or the REIT; provided, however, payment of taxes, impositions or claims shall not be required if and for so long as (i) the amount, applicability or validity thereof is currently being contested
in good faith by appropriate action promptly initiated and diligently conducted in accordance with good business practices and no material part of the property or assets of Borrower or any Subsidiary or the REIT are subject to levy or execution,
(ii) Borrower or such Subsidiary or the REIT as required in accordance with GAAP, shall have set aside on its books reserves (segregated to the extent required by GAAP) deemed by it to be adequate with respect thereto, and (iii) if

successful and in any event prior to the commencement of any action to realize upon or foreclose any Lien against any Unencumbered Property. 

  
 74 

 §7.9 Inspection of Properties and Books. The Borrower will, and will cause its
Subsidiaries and the REIT to, permit the Agent and the Lenders, at the Borrower’s expense and upon reasonable prior notice, to visit and inspect any of the properties of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (subject to the rights of tenants
under their Leases), to examine the books of account of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the REIT (and to make copies thereof and extracts therefrom) and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the
REIT with, and to be advised as to the same by, their respective officers, partners or members, all at such reasonable times and intervals as the Agent or any Lender may reasonably request, provided that so long as no Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall not be required to pay for such visits and inspections. The Lenders shall use good faith efforts to coordinate such visits and inspections so as to minimize the interference with and
disruption to the normal business operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the REIT. 
 §7.10 Compliance with Laws,
Contracts, Licenses, and Permits. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries and the REIT to, comply in all respects with (i) all Applicable Laws and regulations now or hereafter in effect wherever its business is conducted,
including all Environmental Laws, (ii) the provisions of its corporate charter, partnership agreement, limited liability company agreement or declaration of trust, as the case may be, and other charter documents and bylaws, (iii) all

the conduct of its business or the ownership, use or operation of its properties, except where a failure to so comply with any of clauses (i) through (v) has not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
If any authorization, consent, approval, permit or license from any officer, agency or instrumentality of any government shall become necessary or required in order that the Borrower or its Subsidiaries may fulfill any of its obligations hereunder,
the Borrower or such Subsidiary will immediately take or cause to be taken all steps necessary to obtain such authorization, consent, approval, permit or license and furnish the Agent and the Lenders with evidence thereof. 

§7.11 Further Assurances. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, cooperate with the Agent and the Lenders
and execute such further instruments and documents as the Lenders or the Agent shall reasonably request to carry out to their satisfaction the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

§7.12 Limiting Agreements. 

(a) Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries or the REIT to, enter into, any agreement, instrument or transaction
which has or may have the effect of prohibiting or limiting Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ ability to pledge to Agent any Unencumbered Properties as security for the Obligations. Borrower shall take, and shall cause its

  
 75 

 
Subsidiaries and the REIT to take, such actions as are necessary to preserve the right and ability of Borrower, and its 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 Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the REIT. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this §7.12, the provisions of this §7.12 shall not apply to any agreement evidencing other Unsecured Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which requires the use of Unencumbered Properties as a borrowing
base for other Unsecured Indebtedness or which contains financial covenants of a similar type to those in §9.1 of this Agreement. 

(b) 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 or any Subsidiary’s ability to pledge Unencumbered Properties 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 Unencumbered Properties are pledged in the future as security for Indebtedness of the Borrower, any Guarantor, if
any, or any Unencumbered Property Subsidiary. 
 §7.13 Business Operations. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall operate
their respective businesses substantially as an owner, operator, manager and developer of multifamily properties and other business activities incidental thereto and in substantially the same manner and in substantially the same fields and lines of
business as such business is now conducted and in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Loan Documents. 

§7.14 Distributions of Income to Borrower. The Borrower shall cause all of its Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors (subject to
the terms of any loan documents under which such Subsidiary is the borrower) to promptly distribute to the Borrower (but not less frequently than once each fiscal 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, capital improvements and leasing commissions for such quarter and (b) the establishment of reasonable reserves for the payment of operating expenses not paid on at least a
quarterly basis and capital improvements to be made to such Subsidiary’s assets and properties approved by such Subsidiary in the course of its business consistent with its past practices. The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its
Subsidiaries or the REIT to, enter into any agreement that limits the ability of any Subsidiary to make a dividend or distribution payment to the Borrower or any Guarantor, if any, or to otherwise transfer any property to the Borrower or any
Guarantor, if any, provided, however, that this sentence shall not prohibit (a) any negative pledge incurred or provided in favor of any holder of Indebtedness permitted under §8.1(f) solely to the extent any such
negative pledge relates to the property financed by or the subject of such Indebtedness or (b) limitations on dividends and distributions of the Borrower and the REIT contained in any agreement evidencing other Unsecured Indebtedness of the
Borrower, REIT or any of their respective Subsidiaries so long as such limitations are no more restrictive than those contained in §8.4 of this Agreement. 

  
 76

necessary to ensure that none of the Unencumbered Properties will be deemed to be Plan Assets at any time.

Property Subsidiary or (2) any Controlled JV Entity in a subsidiary of a Controlled JV Entity, shall be subject to any Lien. 
 (b)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any Real Estate does not qualify as Eligible Real Estate or satisfy the requirements of §7.16(a), such Real Estate shall be included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value so long as the Agent
shall have received the prior written consent of each of the Required Lenders to the inclusion of such Real Estate in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value. 

(c) Upon any asset ceasing to qualify under §7.16(a) or (b) to be included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value, such
asset shall no longer be included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value. 

  
 77

calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value in its sole discretion. 
 §7.17 Compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws; Beneficial Ownership

other than the Obligations after the occurrence of any Event of Default; provided, that the foregoing 

  
 82 

 
shall not prohibit (i) the prepayment of Indebtedness which is financed solely from the proceeds of a new loan which would otherwise be permitted by the terms of §8.1; and (ii) the
prepayment, redemption, defeasance or other retirement of the principal of Indebtedness secured by Real Estate which is satisfied solely from the proceeds of a sale of the Real Estate securing such Indebtedness; and (b) modify any document

enter into any transaction (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate, except transactions pursuant to the reasonable requirements of the business of such Person and upon fair
and reasonable terms which are no less favorable to such Person than would be obtained in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate.

occurs, contained in any agreement by which it is bound, evidencing or securing any obligation for borrowed money or credit received or under a Derivatives Contract or other Indebtedness for such period of time as would permit (assuming the giving
of appropriate notice if required) the holder or holders thereof or of any obligations issued thereunder to accelerate the maturity thereof or require the prepayment, redemption, settlement or purchase thereof; provided that the events
described in this §12.1(f) shall not constitute an Event of Default unless such failure to pay or perform or the occurrence of such event, together with other failures to pay or perform or the occurrence of such events as described in this
§12.1(f), involve singly or in the aggregate (i) obligations for Indebtedness (other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness) totaling in excess of $100,000,000.00 or

 (i) a decree or order
is entered appointing a trustee, custodian, liquidator or receiver for any of the Borrower, any of its Material Subsidiaries, any Guarantor or the REIT or adjudicating any such Person, bankrupt or insolvent, or approving a petition in any such case
or other proceeding, or a decree or order for relief is entered in respect of any such Person in an involuntary case under federal bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter constituted;

(l) with respect to any Guaranteed Pension Plan, an ERISA Reportable Event shall have occurred and the Required Lenders shall have determined
in their reasonable discretion that such event reasonably could be expected to result in liability of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or the REIT to the PBGC or such Guaranteed Pension Plan in an aggregate amount exceeding $35,000,000.00 and
(x) such event in the circumstances occurring reasonably could constitute grounds for the termination of such Guaranteed Pension Plan by the PBGC or for the appointment by the appropriate United States District Court of a trustee to administer
such Guaranteed Pension Plan; or (y) a trustee shall have been appointed by the United States District Court to administer such Plan; or (z) the PBGC shall have instituted proceedings to terminate such Guaranteed Pension Plan;

protest or other notice of any kind from any of the Lenders or the Agent. Such amounts will be pledged to and held by Agent for the benefit of the Lenders as security for any amounts that become payable under the Letters of Credit and all other
Obligations. Upon any draws under Letters of Credit, at Agent’s sole discretion, Agent may apply any such amounts to the repayment of amounts drawn thereunder and upon the expiration of the Letters of Credit any remaining amounts will be
applied to the payment of all other Obligations or if there are no outstanding Obligations and Lenders have no further obligation to make Loans or issue Letters of Credit or if such excess no longer exists, such proceeds deposited by the Borrower
will be released to the Borrower. 

  
 88 

 §12.2 Certain Cure Periods; Limitation of Cure Periods. (a) Notwithstanding
anything contained in §12.1 to the contrary, (i) no Event of Default shall exist hereunder upon the occurrence of any failure described in §12.1(b) in the event that the Borrower cures such Default within five (5) Business
Days after the date such payment is due, provided, however, that no such cure period shall apply to any payments due upon the maturity of the Notes, and (ii) no Event of Default shall exist hereunder upon the occurrence of any
failure described in §12.1(d) in the event that with respect to a Default under §7.4 the Borrower cures such Default within ten (10) days of the date the deliveries under §7.4 are due, or with respect to the other Defaults
covered by §12.1(d), in the event that the Borrower cures such Default within thirty (30) days following receipt of written notice from the Agent of such default, provided that the provisions of this clause (ii) shall not
pertain to defaults consisting of a failure to comply with §5.2, §7.5(a), §7.12, §7.16, §7.18, §7.19, §8.1, §8.2, §8.3, §8.4, §8.5, §8.6 or to any Default excluded from any provision of
cure of defaults contained in any other of the Loan Documents. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the terms of §12.2(a), in the event that there
shall occur any Default or Event of Default under §7.16 that affects only certain Unencumbered Properties or the owner(s) thereof, then the Borrower may elect to cure such Default or Event of Default under §7.16 (so long as no other
Default or Event of Default would arise as a result) if Borrower, by written notice to Agent, removes such Unencumbered Property from the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value and reduces the outstanding Loans and Letters of Credit, if necessary,
so that no Default or Event of Default exists under this Agreement, in which event such notice, removal and reduction shall be completed within five (5) Business Days of such occurrence. 

§12.3 Termination of Commitments. If any one or more Events of Default specified in §12.1(g), §12.1(h) or
§12.1(i) shall occur, then immediately and without any action on the part of the Agent or any Lender any unused portion of the credit hereunder shall terminate and the Lenders shall be relieved of all obligations to make Loans or issue
Letters of Credit to the Borrower. If any other Event of Default shall have occurred, the Agent may, and upon the election of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower terminate the obligation to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit to
the Borrower. No termination under this §12.3 shall relieve the Borrower or the Guarantors, if any, of their obligations to the Lenders arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. 

§12.4 Remedies. In case any one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and whether or not the Lenders
shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans pursuant to §12.1, the Agent on behalf of the Lenders may, and upon the direction of the Required Lenders shall, proceed to protect and enforce their rights and remedies under this Agreement, the
Notes and/or any of the other Loan Documents by suit in equity, action at law or other appropriate proceeding, including to the full extent permitted by Applicable Law the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, the obtaining of the ex parte appointment of a receiver, and, if any amount shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, the enforcement of the payment thereof. No remedy herein conferred upon the Agent or the
holder of any Note is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or any
other provision of law. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement providing that the Loans may be evidenced by multiple Notes in favor of the Lenders, the Lenders acknowledge and agree that (except for § 13)

  
 89 

 
only the Agent may exercise any remedies arising by reason of a Default or Event of Default. If the Borrower or any Guarantor, if any, fails to perform any agreement or covenant contained in this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents beyond any applicable period for notice and cure, Agent may itself perform, or cause to be performed, any agreement or covenant of such Person contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents which such Person shall fail to perform, and the out-of-pocket costs of such performance, together with any reasonable expenses, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees actually incurred (including attorneys’ fees incurred in any appeal) by Agent in connection therewith, shall be payable by the Borrower and/or the Guarantors, if any, upon demand and shall constitute a part of the
Obligations and shall if not paid within five (5) 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 and the Guarantors, if any, shall pay all costs of collection including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees. 

§12.5 Distribution of Proceeds. In the event that, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default,
any monies are received in connection with the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or otherwise with respect to the realization upon any of the assets of the Borrower or the Guarantors, if any, such monies shall be distributed for application
as follows: 
 (a) to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts, including
attorney fees, payable to the Agent in its capacity as such, the Issuing Lenders in their capacity as such and the Swing Loan Lenders in their capacity as such, ratably among the Agent, the Issuing Lenders and Swing Loan Lenders in proportion to the
respective amounts described in this clause (a) payable to them; 
 (b) to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting
fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders under the Loan Documents, including attorney fees, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (b)
payable to them; 
 (c) to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Swing Loans; 

(d) to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, ratably
among the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (d) payable to them; 
 (e)
to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Swing Loans; 
 (f) to payment of that portion of the
Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations, other Letter of Credit Liabilities, ratably among the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (f) payable
to them; provided, however, to the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to this clause are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of an outstanding Letter of Credit, such amounts shall be paid to the Agent for deposit
into the Collateral Account; and 

  
 90 

 (g) the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full,
to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Applicable Law. 
 §12.6 Collateral Account. 

(a) As collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, Swing Loans and the other Obligations,
the Borrower hereby pledges and grants to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Agent and the Lenders as provided herein, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to the Collateral Account and the balances from time to
time in the Collateral Account (including the investments and reinvestments therein provided for below). The balances from time to time in the Collateral Account shall not constitute payment of any Letter of Credit Liabilities 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 section. 

(b) Amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account shall be invested and reinvested by the Agent in such Cash Equivalents as the Agent shall
determine in its sole discretion. All such investments and reinvestments shall be held in the name of and be under the sole dominion and control of the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders. The Agent shall exercise reasonable care in the
custody and preservation of any funds held in the Collateral Account and shall be deemed to have exercised such care if such funds are accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Agent accords other funds deposited with the Agent,
it being understood that the Agent shall not have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any funds held in the Collateral Account. 

(c) If a drawing pursuant to any Letter of Credit occurs on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower and the
Lenders authorize the Agent to use the monies deposited in the Collateral Account to make payment to the beneficiary with respect to such drawing or the payee with respect to such presentment. If a Swing Loan is not refinanced as a Base Rate Loan as
provided in §2.4 above, 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. 

(d) If an Event of Default exists, the Required Lenders may, in their discretion, at any time and from time to time, instruct the Agent to
liquidate any such investments and reinvestments and apply proceeds thereof to the Obligations in accordance with §12.5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent shall not be required to liquidate and release any such amounts if such
liquidation or release would result in the amount available in the Collateral Account to be less than the Stated Amount of all Extended Letters of Credit that remain outstanding. 

  
 91 

 (e) So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, and to the extent amounts on deposit
in the Collateral Account exceed the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities then due and owing and the pro rata share of any Letter of Credit Obligations and Swing Loans of any Defaulting Lender after giving effect to §2.12(d),
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. Upon the expiration, termination or cancellation of an Extended Letter of
Credit for which the Lenders reimbursed (or funded participations in) a drawing deemed to have occurred under §2.9 for deposit into the Collateral Account but in respect of which the Lenders have not otherwise received payment for the amount so
reimbursed or funded, the Agent shall promptly remit to the Lenders the amount so reimbursed or funded for such Extended Letter of Credit that remains in the Collateral Account, pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid reimbursements or
funded participations of the Lenders in respect of such Extended Letter of Credit, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever. When all of the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and no Letters
of Credit remain outstanding, the Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, the balances remaining in the Collateral Account. 

(f) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent from time to time such fees as the Agent normally charges for similar services in connection with the
Agent’s administration of the Collateral Account and investments and reinvestments of funds therein. The Borrower authorizes Agent to file such financing statements as Agent may reasonably require in order to perfect Agent’s security
interest in the Collateral Account, and Borrower shall promptly upon demand execute and deliver to Agent such other documents as Agent may reasonably request to evidence its security interest in the Collateral Account. 

§13. SETOFF. 
 Regardless of the adequacy
of any collateral, during the continuance of any Event of Default, any deposits (general or specific, time or demand, provisional or final, regardless of currency, maturity, or the branch where such deposits are held) or other sums credited by or
due from any Lender to the Borrower or the Guarantors, if any, and any securities or other property of the Borrower or the Guarantors, if any, in the possession of such Lender (or such Lender’s Affiliate) may, without notice to the Borrower or
any Guarantor, if any, (any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower and the Guarantors, if any) but with the prior written approval of Agent, be applied to or set off against the payment of Obligations and any and all other liabilities,
direct, or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, of the Borrower or the Guarantors , if any, to such Lender, Agent will promptly provide Borrower with notice of any such set off of which Agent has
received written notice. Each of the Lenders agrees with each other Lender that if such Lender shall receive from the Borrower or a Guarantor, if any, 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 any Swing Loan Notes) 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 

  
 92 

 
such Lender, such disposition and arrangements shall be rescinded and the amount restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. In the event that any Defaulting Lender shall
exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such
Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and (b) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to
such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. 
 §14. THE AGENT. 

§14.1 Authorization. The Agent is authorized to take such action on behalf of each of the Lenders and to exercise all such powers
as are hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents and any related documents delegated to the Agent, together with such powers as are reasonably incident thereto, provided that no duties or responsibilities not expressly assumed herein or
therein shall be implied to have been assumed by the Agent. The obligations of the Agent hereunder are primarily administrative in nature, and nothing contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to constitute
the Agent as a trustee for any Lender or to create an agency or fiduciary relationship. Agent shall act as the contractual representative of the Lenders hereunder, and notwithstanding the use of the term “Agent”, it is understood and
agreed that Agent shall not have any fiduciary duties or responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and is acting as an independent contractor, the duties and responsibilities of which are limited to those
expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan
Documents, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. As to any matters not
expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the Obligations), the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to
refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions
shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the
Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Agent may exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon
the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless the Required Lenders have directed the Agent otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting
or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders, or where applicable, all the Lenders. 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. 

  
 93 

 §14.2 Employees and Agents. The Agent may exercise its powers and execute its
duties by or through employees or agents and shall be entitled to take, and to rely on, advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

§14.3 No Liability. Neither the Agent nor any of its shareholders, directors, officers or employees nor any other Person assisting
them in their duties nor any agent, or employee thereof, shall be liable for (a) any waiver, consent or approval given or any action taken, or omitted to be 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 finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the expiration of all applicable appeal periods or (b) any action taken or not taken by Agent with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or,
where required hereunder, all of the affected Lenders). The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees
required to be paid to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to the Loan Documents and describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and
stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. 
 §14.4 No Representations. The Agent shall not be responsible for
the execution or validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes, any of the other Loan Documents or any instrument at any time constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security for the Notes, or for the value of any such
collateral security or for the validity, enforceability or collectability of any such amounts owing with respect to the Notes, or for any recitals or statements, warranties or representations made herein, or any agreement, instrument or certificate
delivered in connection therewith or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate or instrument hereafter furnished to it by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its 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, if any, 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 or its Subsidiaries, or the value of any collateral or any other assets of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Each Lender acknowledges that
it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based upon such information and documents as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, based upon such information and documents as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis and decisions in taking or not
taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Agent’s Special Counsel has only represented Agent and Wells Fargo Bank in connection with the Loan Documents and the only attorney client relationship or duty of care is between
Agent’s Special Counsel and Agent or Wells Fargo Bank. Each Lender has been independently represented by separate counsel on all matters regarding the Loan Documents. 

  
 94 

 §14.5 Payments. 

(a) A payment by the Borrower or the Guarantors, if any, 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 §2.12(b). 

(b) If in the opinion of the Agent the distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder, under the Notes or under any of
the other Loan Documents might involve it in liability, it may refrain from making such distribution until its right to make such distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction. If a court of competent jurisdiction
shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or
shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court. 
 §14.6 Holders of Notes.
Subject to the terms of §18, the Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the absolute owner or purchaser thereof for all purposes hereof until it shall have been furnished in writing with a different name by such payee or by a
subsequent holder, assignee or transferee. 
 §14.7 Indemnity. The Lenders ratably agree hereby to indemnify and hold harmless
the Agent from and against any and all claims, actions and suits (whether groundless or otherwise), losses, damages, costs, expenses (including any expenses for which the Agent has not been reimbursed by the Borrower as required by §15), and
liabilities of every nature and character arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Notes, or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated or evidenced hereby or thereby, or the Agent’s actions taken hereunder or
thereunder, except to the extent that any of the same shall be directly caused by the Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the expiration of all applicable appeal
periods; provided, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders, if expressly required hereunder) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this
Section.. The agreements in this §14.7 shall survive the payment of all amounts payable under the Loan Documents. 
 §14.8
Agent as Lender. In its individual capacity, Wells Fargo Bank 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. 

  
 95 

 §14.9 Resignation; Removal. The Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty
(30) calendar days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. The Agent may be removed as Agent by all of the Lenders (other than the Lender then acting as Agent) and the Borrower upon 30 days’ prior written notice
if the Agent (i) is found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to have committed gross negligence or willful misconduct in the course of performing its duties hereunder
or (ii) has become or is insolvent or has become the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or has had a receiver, conservator, trustee or custodian appointed for it, or has taken any action in furtherance of, or indicating its
consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such proceeding or appointment. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders, subject to the terms of §18.1, shall have the right to appoint as a successor Agent and, if applicable,
Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, 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. 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, which
acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no successor Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the
retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be any Lender or any financial institution 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. Unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such
successor Agent, and, if applicable, successor Issuing Lender and successor Swing Loan Lender shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as
Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and 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 or removed Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder as Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or its removal, the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in effect for its
benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender. If the resigning or removed Agent shall also resign as an Issuing Lender, such successor Agent shall issue
letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or shall make other arrangements satisfactory to the removed or resigned Issuing Lender, in either case, to
assume effectively the obligations of the removed or resigned Agent with respect to such Letters of Credit. Upon any change in the Agent under this Agreement, the resigning or removed Agent shall execute such assignments of and amendments to the
Loan Documents as may be necessary to substitute the successor Agent for the resigning or removed Agent. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Agent may assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents to any of its
Affiliates (x) by giving the Borrower and each Lender prior written notice and (y) so long as no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, with the prior written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld,
delayed or conditioned); provided that, if Wells Fargo Bank remains obligated to perform the rights and duties so assigned to such Affiliate, no consent of the Borrower shall be required for such assignment. 

  
 96 

 §14.10 Duties in the Case of Enforcement. In case one or more Events of Default
have occurred and shall be continuing, and whether or not acceleration of the Obligations shall have occurred, the Agent may and, if (a) so requested by the Required Lenders and (b) the Lenders have provided to the Agent such additional
indemnities and assurances in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages against expenses and liabilities as the Agent may reasonably request, shall proceed to exercise all or any legal and equitable and other rights or remedies as it
may have; provided, however, that unless and until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such 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 Agent reasonably determines payment is in the best interest of all the Lenders, Agent may without the approval of the
Lenders pay taxes and insurance premiums and spend money for maintenance, repairs or other expenses which may be necessary to be incurred, and Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Lenders of such action. Each Lender shall, within thirty
(30) days of request therefor, pay to the Agent its Commitment Percentage of the reasonable costs incurred by the Agent in taking any such actions hereunder to the extent that such costs shall not be promptly reimbursed to the Agent by the
Borrower within such period. The Required Lenders may direct the Agent in writing as to the method and the extent of any such exercise, the Lenders hereby agreeing to indemnify and hold the Agent harmless in accordance with their respective
Commitment Percentages from all liabilities incurred in respect of all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such directions except to the extent that any of the same shall be directly caused by the Agent’s willful misconduct or gross
negligence as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, provided that the Agent need not comply with any such direction to the extent that the Agent reasonably believes the Agent’s compliance with such direction to be
unlawful in any applicable jurisdiction or commercially unreasonable in any applicable jurisdiction. 
 §14.11 Agent May File Proofs
of Claim. In the event a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding is commenced by or against Borrower or any Guarantor, if any, 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 Required Lenders or all of the Lenders as required by this Agreement. Each Lender irrevocably waives its right to file or pursue
a separate proof of claim in any such proceedings unless Agent fails to file such claim within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from the Lenders requesting that Agent file such proof of claim. 

§14.12 Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any
notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or
otherwise authenticated by an Authorized Officer. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In
determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Agent (or Issuing Lender, as applicable) may presume that such
condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Agent (or Issuing Lender, as applicable) shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan or issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Agent may consult
with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower, the REIT and/or the Guarantors, if any), 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. 

  
 97 

 §14.13 Approvals. If consent of the Required Lenders, all Lenders or all
affected Lenders, is required for some action under this Agreement, or except as otherwise provided herein an approval of the Required Lenders, all Lenders or all affected 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 together with all reasonably requested information related thereto (or such lesser period of time required by the terms of the Loan Documents), notice in writing
of approval or disapproval (collectively “Directions”) in respect of any action requested or proposed in writing pursuant to the terms hereof. To the extent that any Lender does not approve any recommendation of Agent, such Lender shall in
such notice to Agent describe the actions that would be acceptable to such Lender. If consent is required for the requested action, any Lender’s failure to respond to a request for Directions within the required time period shall be deemed to
constitute a Direction to take such requested action. In the event that any recommendation is not approved by the requisite number of Lenders and a subsequent approval on the same subject matter is requested by Agent, then for the purposes of this
paragraph each Lender shall be required to respond to a request for Directions within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such request. Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to assume that any officer of the other Lenders delivering any
notice, consent, certificate or other writing is authorized to give such notice, consent, certificate or other writing unless Agent and such other Lenders have otherwise been notified in writing. The provisions of this §14.13 shall not apply to
any matter requiring approval of all Lenders or all affected Lenders. 
 §14.14 Borrower Not Beneficiary. Except for the
provisions of §14.9 relating to the appointment of a successor Agent, the provisions of this §14 are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, may not be enforced by the Borrower, and except for the provisions of §14.9, may
be modified or waived without the approval or consent of the Borrower. 
 §14.15 Lender Credit Decision. Each of the Lenders
expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Agent nor any of its Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to such Lender and that no act by the Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or Affiliate, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Agent to or any Lender. Each of the Lenders acknowledges that it has made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement
and the transactions contemplated hereby, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Agent, or any of their respective Affiliates and the shareholders, directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents,
counsel, other advisors and representatives of such Persons and their Affiliates, and based on the financial statements of the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and other Affiliates, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the
business and affairs of the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate. Each of the Lenders also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Agent, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents. The Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or 

  
 98 

 
observance by the Borrower or a Guarantor, if any, of the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of, or make any other
investigation of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall
have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any other Affiliate thereof which may come
into possession of the Agent or any of its Affiliates. 
 §14.16 Rates. The Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for,
and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “LIBOR”. 

§15. EXPENSES. 
 The Borrower and the
Guarantors, if any, agree 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 (including any interest
and penalties in respect thereto) payable by the Agent or any of the Lenders, and including any taxes payable on or with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and further including any such taxes payable by the Agent or any of
the Lenders after the Closing Date (the Borrower and the Guarantors, if any, hereby agreeing to indemnify the Agent and each Lender with respect thereto), (c) the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the counsel to the Agent and any
local counsel to the Agent incurred in connection with the preparation, administration, or interpretation of the Loan Documents and other instruments mentioned herein, and amendments, modifications, approvals, consents or waivers hereto or

Loans in connection with the primary syndication of the Loans, (e) all other reasonable actual and verifiable out-of-pocket fees, expenses and disbursements of the

those items addressed in subparagraph (d), above), (f) all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, and the reasonable fees
and costs of appraisers, engineers, investment bankers or other experts retained by any Lender or the Agent) incurred by any Lender or the Agent in connection with (i) the enforcement of or preservation of rights under any of the Loan Documents
against the Borrower and the Guarantors, if any, or the administration thereof after the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, including all such out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with any workout, restructuring or negotiation with respect thereto following the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default and (ii) any litigation, proceeding or dispute whether arising hereunder or
otherwise, in any way related to the Agent’s or any of the Lenders’ relationship with the Borrower or the Guarantors, if any, (g) all reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the Agent incurred in connection with UCC searches

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. 

  
 99 

 §16. INDEMNIFICATION. 

The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, the Lenders and each Arranger and each director, officer, employee, agent 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 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 Unencumbered Properties or the Loans, (b) any condition of the Unencumbered Properties or any other Real Estate, (c) any actual or proposed use by the Borrower of the proceeds of any of the
Loans or Letters of Credit, (d) any actual or alleged infringement of any patent, copyright, trademark, service mark or similar right of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the REIT, (e) the Borrower and the Guarantors, if any,
entering into or performing this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (f) any actual or alleged violation of any law, ordinance, code, order, rule, regulation, approval, consent, permit or license relating to the Unencumbered

litigation or other proceeding; provided, however, that the Borrower and the Guarantors, if any, shall not be obligated under this §16 to indemnify any Person for liabilities arising from such Person’s own gross negligence or
willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods. If, and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors, if any, under this §16 are unenforceable
for any reason, the Borrower and the Guarantors, if any, 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. 
 §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 the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to have been relied upon by the Lenders and the Agent, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made
by any of them, and shall survive the making by the Lenders of any of the Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, as herein contemplated, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any amount due under this Agreement or the Notes or
any of the other Loan Documents remains outstanding or any Letter of Credit remains Outstanding or any Lender has any obligation to make 

  
 100 

 
any Loans or issue any Letter of Credit. The indemnification obligations of the Borrower provided herein and in the other Loan Documents shall survive the full repayment of amounts due and the
termination of the obligations of the Lenders hereunder and thereunder to the extent provided herein and therein. All statements contained in any certificate delivered to any Lender or the Agent at any time by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall constitute representations and warranties by such Person hereunder. 

§18. ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATION. 

§18.1 Conditions to Assignment by Lenders. Except as provided herein, each Lender may assign to one or more banks or other
entities (including an Approved Fund) all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment Percentage and Commitment and the same portion of the Loans at the time owing to it
and the Notes held by it); provided that (a) the Agent, and, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, the Borrower shall have each given its prior written consent to such assignment, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that such consent shall not be required for any assignment to another Lender, to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender which is and remains controlled by or is under common control with the assigning Lender
or to a Subsidiary which is and remains wholly-owned by such Lender), provided further that the Borrower will be deemed to have consented unless it provides notice to the Agent and the assigning Lender of its disapproval within ten
(10) Business Days of receipt of such request, (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 Commitment in
the event an interest in the 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 I (“Assignment and Acceptance Agreement”) annexed hereto, together with any Notes subject to such assignment and an Administrative Questionnaire completed by the assignee Lender, (d) in no event shall
any assignment be to any Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with, or which is not otherwise free from influence or control by, the Borrower, the REIT or any Guarantor, if any, or be a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a
Defaulting Lender or a natural person, (e) such assignee of a portion of the 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 Agent and, so long
as no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, the Borrower) and (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. Upon execution, delivery, acceptance and recording of such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (i) the assignee
thereunder shall be a party hereto and all other Loan Documents executed by the Lenders and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder, (ii) the assigning Lender
shall, upon payment to the Agent of the registration fee referred to in §18.2, be released from its obligations under this Agreement arising after the effective date of such assignment with respect to the assigned portion of its interests,
rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (iii) the Agent may unilaterally amend Schedule 1.1 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 

  
 101 

 
not otherwise free from influence or control by, the Borrower, the REIT or any Guarantor and whether such assignee is a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender or a natural
person. 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. Any assignment of a Commitment not made in accordance with this
§18.1 shall (subject to the terms of the preceding sentence) be void and of no force and effect. 
 §18.2 Register. The
Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain 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 Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and the Lenders at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon each such recordation, the assigning Lender agrees to pay to the Agent a registration fee in the sum of $4,500.00. 

§18.3 New Notes. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement executed by the parties to such assignment, together
with each Note subject to such assignment, the Agent shall record the information contained therein in the Register. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of notice of such assignment from Agent, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall
execute and deliver to the Agent, in exchange for each surrendered Note, a new Note to the order of such assignee in an amount equal to the amount assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and, if the assigning
Lender has retained some portion of its obligations hereunder, a new Note to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the amount retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall provide that they are replacements for the surrendered
Notes, shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the surrendered Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the
assigned Notes. The surrendered Notes shall be canceled and returned to the Borrower. 

  
 102 

 §18.4 Participations. Each Lender may, upon notice to the Borrower of the
identity of any such participant and amount of such participation, sell participations to one or more Lenders or other entities in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;
provided that (a) any such sale or participation shall not affect the rights and duties of the selling Lender hereunder, (b) such participation shall not entitle such participant to any rights or privileges under this Agreement or
any Loan Documents, including without limitation, rights granted to the Lenders under §4.8, §4.9 and §4.10, (c) such participation shall not entitle the participant to the right to approve waivers, amendments or modifications,
(d) such participant shall have no direct rights against the Borrower or the Guarantors, if any, (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, the REIT or any of the Guarantors and shall not be a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender or a natural person;
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 Maturity Date pursuant to
§2.11), (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal, (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon or (v) release Borrower or any Guarantor, if any (except as otherwise permitted under this Agreement).
Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of 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, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Documents) to any
Person except (x) the disclosure required by the first sentence of this §18.4 and (y) to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form
under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name
is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility
for maintaining a Participant Register. 
 §18.5 Pledge by Lender. Any Lender may at any time pledge all or any portion of its
interest and rights under this Agreement (including all or any portion of its Note) to any of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks organized under §4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. §341 or to such other Person as the Agent may approve
to secure obligations of such lenders. No such pledge or the enforcement thereof shall release the pledgor Lender from its obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents. 

§18.6 No Assignment by the Borrower or the Guarantors. Neither the Borrower nor the Guarantors, if any, shall assign or transfer
any of their rights or obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each of the Lenders. 

  
 103 

 §18.7 Disclosure. The Borrower and the Guarantors, if any, 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, if any, each agree that in addition to disclosures made in accordance with
standard banking practices any Lender may disclose information obtained by such Lender pursuant to this Agreement to assignees or participants and potential assignees or participants hereunder. Each Lender agrees for itself that it shall use
reasonable efforts to hold confidential all non-public information obtained from the Borrower or the Guarantors, if any, that has been identified in writing as confidential by any of them, and shall use
reasonable efforts to not disclose such information to any other Person, it being understood and agreed that, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender may make (a) disclosures to its participants (provided such Persons are advised of the
provisions of this §18.7), (b) disclosures to its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, accountants, appraisers, legal counsel and other professional advisors of such Lender (provided that such Persons who are not employees of such
Lender are advised of the provision of this §18.7), (c) disclosures customarily provided or reasonably required by any potential or actual bona fide assignee, transferee or participant or their respective directors, officers, employees,
Affiliates, accountants, appraisers, legal counsel and other professional advisors in connection with a potential or actual assignment or transfer by such Lender of any Loans or any participations therein (provided such Persons are advised of the
provisions of this §18.7), (d) disclosures to bank regulatory authorities or self-regulatory bodies with jurisdiction over such Lender, or (e) disclosures required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof
or pursuant to legal process; provided that, unless specifically prohibited by Applicable Law, rule, regulation or court order, each Lender shall notify the Borrower in writing of any request by any Governmental Authority or representative
thereof prior to disclosure (other than any such request in connection with any examination of such Lender by such government authority) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of
such information. In addition, each Lender may make disclosure of such information to any contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisors (so long as such contractual counterparty or
professional advisors agree to be bound by the provisions of this §18.7). Non-public information shall not include any information which is or subsequently becomes publicly available other than as a
result of a disclosure of such information by a Lender, or prior to the delivery to such Lender is within the possession of such Lender if such information is not known by such Lender to be subject to another confidentiality agreement with or other
obligations of secrecy to the Borrower or is disclosed with the prior approval of the Borrower. Nothing herein shall prohibit the disclosure of non-public information to the extent necessary to enforce the
Loan Documents. 
 §18.8 Amendments to Loan Documents. Upon any such assignment or participation, the Borrower and the
Guarantors, if any, 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 or participation; provided, however, no documents or
modifications shall increase or otherwise affect the Borrower’s or any Guarantor’s, if any, liabilities hereunder or under any Loan Document. 

§18.9 Mandatory Assignment. In the event the Borrower requests that certain amendments, modifications or waivers be made to this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents which request is approved by the Agent and the Required Lenders but is not approved by one or more of the Lenders (any such non-consenting Lender shall hereafter be referred to as the “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, within thirty (30) Business Days after the Borrower’s receipt of notice of such disapproval by such Non-Consenting Lender,
the Borrower shall have the right 

  
 104 

 
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 Commitment. The Agent
shall promptly notify the remaining Lenders that each of such Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire a portion of the Commitment, pro rata based upon their relevant Commitment Percentages, of the Non-Consenting Lender (or if any of such Lenders does not elect to purchase its pro rata share, then to such remaining Lenders in such proportion as approved by the Agent). Upon any such purchase of the Commitment
of the Non-Consenting Lender, the Non-Consenting Lender’s interests in the Obligations and its rights and obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall
terminate at the date of purchase, and the Non-Consenting Lender shall promptly execute and deliver any and all documents reasonably requested by Agent to surrender and transfer such interest, including,
without limitation, an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I and such Non-Consenting Lender’s original Note. The purchase price for the Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitment shall equal any and all amounts outstanding and owed by the Borrower to the Non-Consenting Lender, including principal and all accrued
and unpaid interest or fees, plus any applicable amounts payable pursuant to §4.8 which would be owed to such Non-Consenting Lender if the Loans were to be repaid in full on the date of such purchase of
the Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitment (provided that the Borrower may pay to such Non-Consenting Lender any interest, fees or other amounts (other than principal)
owing to such Non-Consenting Lender). 
 §18.10 Titled Agents. The Titled Agents shall
not have any additional rights or obligations under the Loan Documents, except for those rights, if any, as a Lender. 
 §19. NOTICES.

to any other Lender which is a party hereto, at the address for such Lender set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire. Upon the Borrower’s request,
the Agent shall give the Borrower the address for notice of a Lender provided in such Lender’s most current Administrative Questionnaire. Each Notice shall be effective upon being personally delivered or upon being sent

  
 106 

 
by overnight courier or upon being deposited in the United States Mail as aforesaid, or if transmitted by telecopy (if a telecopy number is provided), upon being sent and confirmation of receipt,

receipt if personally delivered or sent by overnight courier, or if so deposited in the United States Mail, the earlier of three (3) Business Days following such deposit or the date of receipt as disclosed on the return receipt or upon
confirmation of delivery if transmitted by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar form of communication. Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver because of changed address for which no notice was given shall be deemed to

addresses and each shall have the right to specify as its address any other address within the United States of America. 
 (b) Loan

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, if any, Agents and Lenders. 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. 
 (c) Notices and other communications to the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing
Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Agent, provided that the foregoing
shall not apply to notices to any Lender or Issuing Lender pursuant to §2 if such Lender or Issuing Lender, as applicable, has notified the Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Section by electronic communications. The
Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to
particular notices or communications. Unless the Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an
acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications
posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that
such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, e-mail or other communication is not
sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient.

 §20. RELATIONSHIP. 

Neither the Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or fiduciary duty to the Borrower, the REIT, 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 Agent, and the Borrower is solely that of a lender
and borrower, and nothing contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents shall in any manner be construed as making the parties hereto partners, joint venturers or any other relationship other than lender and borrower. 

§21. GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND SERVICE. 

THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED HEREIN OR THEREIN, SHALL, PURSUANT TO NEW
YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SECTION 5-1401, BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT COMMENCE ANY ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING
OF ANY KIND OR DESCRIPTION, WHETHER IN LAW OR EQUITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR OTHERWISE, AGAINST THE AGENT, ANY LENDER, THE ARRANGER, ANY OF SUCH PERSONS’ RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES OR ANY OF THE PARTNERS, SHAREHOLDERS, DIRECTORS,
OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, COUNSEL, OTHER ADVISORS AND REPRESENTATIVES OF ANY OF SUCH PERSONS AND OF SUCH PERSON’S RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATING HERETO OR
THERETO, IN ANY FORUM OTHER THAN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY, AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO
IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY
OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE ARRANGER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ANY GUARANTOR OR ITS RESPECTIVE PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION. EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT
OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE 

  
 108 

 
SAME. THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY THE AGENT, THE ARRANGER OR ANY LENDER OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY THE AGENT OR ANY
LENDER OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION. 
 THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION AND OF §25
HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND

term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated, except as provided in §27. 
 §25. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL AND CERTAIN DAMAGE CLAIMS.

 EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR CLAIM ARISING
OUT OF ANY DISPUTE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY NOTE OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, ANY RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER OR THE PERFORMANCE OF SUCH RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS. EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS
HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY SUCH LITIGATION ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, PUNITIVE OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN

  
 109 

 
ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES OR DAMAGES OR OTHER REMEDIES EXPRESSLY PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT; PROVIDED THAT THE FOREGOING SHALL NOT WAIVE ANY CLAIM SUBJECT TO INDEMNIFICATION PURSUANT TO
§16. THE BORROWER (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY LENDER OR THE AGENT HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH LENDER OR THE AGENT WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE
FOREGOING WAIVERS AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS TO WHICH THEY ARE PARTIES BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS CONTAINED IN THIS
§25. THE BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THIS §25 WITH LEGAL COUNSEL AND THE BORROWER AGREES TO THE FOREGOING AS ITS FREE, KNOWING AND VOLUNTARY ACT. 

§26. DEALINGS WITH THE BORROWER. 
 The
Agent, the Lenders and their affiliates may accept deposits from, extend credit to, invest in, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor of, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Borrower,
and its Subsidiaries, the REIT or any of their Affiliates regardless of the capacity of the Agent or the Lender hereunder. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Wells Fargo Bank or its Affiliates may receive information
regarding such Persons (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. 

§27. CONSENTS, AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS, ETC. 

Except as set forth in this §27 or as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any consent or approval required or permitted by
this Agreement may be given, and any term of this Agreement or of any other instrument related hereto or mentioned herein may be amended, and the performance or observance by the Borrower or the Guarantors, if any, of any terms of this Agreement or
such other instrument or the continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Required Lenders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the following may occur without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby: (a) a reduction in the rate of interest on the Loans (other than a reduction or waiver of interest at the
Default Rate, a retraction of the imposition of interest at the Default Rate or any amendment of the amount constituting interest at the Default Rate pursuant to the final sentence of this §27); (b) an increase in the amount of the
Commitments of the Lenders (except as provided in §2.10 and §18.1); (c) a forgiveness, reduction or waiver of the principal of any unpaid Loan or any interest thereon (other than interest at the Default Rate) or fee payable under the
Loan Documents; (d) a reduction in the amount of any fee payable to a Lender hereunder; (e) the postponement of any date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on the Loan; (f) an extension of the Maturity Date (except as
provided in §2.11); (g) an amendment to §2.13 or §12.5,; (h) the release of the Borrower or any Guarantor, if any, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement; (i) an amendment of the definition of Required Lenders
or of any requirement for consent by all of the 

  
 110 

 
Lenders or all Lenders directly affected thereby; (j) any modification to require a Lender to fund a pro rata share of a request for an advance of the Loan made by the Borrower or
participation in a Letter of Credit other than based on its Commitment Percentage; (k) an amendment to this §27; (l) a waiver of any Default or Event of Default under §12.1(a) or §12.1(b); or (m) an amendment of
any provision of this Agreement or the Loan Documents which requires the approval of all of the Lenders or the Required Lenders to require a lesser number of Lenders to approve such action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no
Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the
consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders) except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the
consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender. The provisions of §14 may not be amended without the
written consent of the Agent. There shall be no amendment, modification or waiver of any provision in the Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit or Issuing Lenders without the consent of the Issuing Lenders. There shall be no amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents with respect to Swing Loans or Swing Loan Lenders without the consent of the Swing Loan Lenders. In addition, there shall be no waiver or consent unless in writing and signed by the
Agent, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the
Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. No notice to or demand upon any of the Borrower or the Guarantors, if any, shall entitle the Borrower or the Guarantors, if any, to
other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent may, without the consent of any Lender, enter into amendments or modifications to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or to
enter into additional Loan Documents as the Agent and Borrower reasonably deem appropriate in order to implement any Benchmark Replacement or otherwise effectuate the terms of §4.6(b)-(e) in accordance with the terms of §4.6(b)-(e).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Agent and the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment or supplement
is delivered solely in order to cure ambiguities, inconsistencies, omissions, mistakes or defects in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. The Agent shall promptly provide a copy of any such amendment to the Lenders. 

§28. SEVERABILITY. 
 The provisions of this
Agreement are severable, and if any one clause or provision hereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such clause or provision, or part thereof,
in such jurisdiction, and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or any other clause or provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction. 

  
 111 

 §29. TIME OF THE ESSENCE.

under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

§31. REPLACEMENT NOTES. 
 Upon receipt of
evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or,
in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the applicable Note, the Borrower will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note, identical in form and substance to the applicable Note and dated as of the date
of the applicable Note and upon such execution and delivery all references in the Loan Documents to such Note shall be deemed to refer to such replacement Note. 

§32. NO THIRD PARTIES BENEFITED. 
 This
Agreement and the other Loan Documents are made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of the Borrower, the Guarantors, if any, the Lenders, the Agent and their permitted successors and assigns, and no other Person (other than
any Person expressly entitled to indemnification under §14 hereof) shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents. All conditions to the performance of the obligations of the Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement, including the obligation to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit, are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of the Agent
and the Lenders and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that the Agent and the Lenders will refuse to make Loans or issue Letters of Credit in the
absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall, under any circumstances, be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any and all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by the Agent and the Lenders at
any time if in their sole discretion they deem it desirable to do so. In particular, the Agent and the Lenders make no representations and assume no obligations as to third parties concerning the quality of the construction by the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries of any development or the absence therefrom of defects.

 §33. PATRIOT ACT; ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING LAWS. 

The Agent and each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower, the REIT and the Guarantors, if any, that, pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot
Act or any other Anti-Money Laundering Laws, each of them is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and each Guarantor, if any, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower or Guarantor and
other information that will allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower and each Guarantor, if any, in accordance with the Patriot Act or such Anti-Money Laundering Laws. 

§34. JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. 
 Each of
the Borrower and the Guarantors, if any, covenants and agrees that each and every covenant and obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor, if any, hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to which each is a party shall be the joint and several
obligations of the Borrower and each Guarantor, if any. 
 §35. TERMINATION; SURVIVAL. 

At such time as all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet due and payable and obligations which survive as
provided in the following sentence) have been paid and satisfied in full, this Agreement shall terminate. The indemnities to which the Agent and the Lenders are entitled under the provisions of §§4.16(b), 4.9, 4.10, 4.11, 13.7, 14 and 15
and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the provisions of §21, shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Agent and the Lenders (i) notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement,
or of the other Loan Documents, against events arising after such termination as well as before and (ii) at all times after any such party ceases to be a party to this Agreement with respect to all matters and events existing on or prior to the
date such party ceased to be a party to this Agreement. 
 §36. PERFORMANCE BY REIT. 

The Borrower shall cause the REIT to perform and comply with each covenant and agreement in this Agreement that is applicable to the REIT, and
shall cause each warranty and representation in this Agreement that is applicable to the REIT to be and remain true and correct as and when such representations or warranties are made or repeated (subject to any applicable materiality
qualifications), in each case regardless of whether Borrower has the power or ability to cause the same. 
 §37. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND CONSENT TO BAIL-IN OF EEA FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or
in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be
