	x.
	Unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by Pfizer in its discretion, the 2017 Award and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the 2017 Award or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting Pfizer’s shares.

	a.
	The 2017 Award and the shares subject to the 2017 Award are not part of normal or expected compensation for any purpose.

	E.
	Rights as a Stockholder. Neither the Participant nor any person claiming under or through the Participant shall have any rights or privileges as a stockholder of Pfizer in respect of any shares of Pfizer common stock deliverable pursuant to the 2017 Award, unless and until such shares have been issued upon settlement of the 2017 Award.

		
	F.
	Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The 2017 Award and the obligation of Pfizer to issue or deliver shares hereunder shall be subject in all respects to (i) all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations and (ii) any registration, qualification, approvals or other requirements imposed by any government or regulatory agency or body which the Committee shall, in its discretion, determine to be necessary or applicable. Moreover, the 2017 Award may not be settled if its settlement, or the receipt of shares pursuant thereto, would be contrary to applicable law. If at any time Pfizer determines, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of shares upon any national securities exchange or under any state, federal or local law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable, Pfizer shall not be required to deliver any certificates for shares to the Participant or any other person pursuant to this Agreement, unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval has been effected or obtained, or otherwise provided for, free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. 

		
	G.
	Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. Pfizer may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to participation in the Plan by electronic means.

	I.
	Termination of Employment Due to Retirement. Notwithstanding the definition of Retirement set forth above, if Pfizer receives an opinion of counsel that there has been a legal judgment and/or legal development in your jurisdiction that would likely result in the favorable retirement treatment that applies to the 2017 Award being deemed unlawful and/or discriminatory, then the Committee will not apply the favorable retirement treatment at the time of your separation from your Employer or Pfizer and your 2017 Award will be treated as it would under the rules that apply if your employment with your Employer or Pfizer ends for the reasons set forth in Section II(A) (Not Retirement Eligible) of this Agreement.

		
	J.
	Governing Law and Venue. The 2017 Award and the provisions of this Agreement are governed by, and subject to, United States federal and New York State law, except for the body of law pertaining to conflict of laws, as provided in the Plan, and the requirements of the New York Stock Exchange. For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises under the 2017 Award or this Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the State of New York, agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of New York County, New York, or the federal courts for the United States for the Southern District of New York, where this grant is made and/or to be performed.

		
	K.
	Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. You acknowledge that you may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws in applicable jurisdictions, including the United States and your country of residence, which may affect your ability to acquire or sell shares or rights to shares (e.g., the 2017 Award) under the Plan during such times as you are considered to have “inside information” regarding Pfizer (as defined by the laws in your country). Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable insider trading policy of Pfizer. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and you are advised to speak to your personal advisor on this matter.

		
	L.
	Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Requirements, Exchange Controls and Tax Requirements. Your country may have certain foreign asset and/or account reporting requirements and exchange controls, which may affect your ability to acquire or hold shares under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends received or sale proceeds arising from the sale of shares) in a brokerage or bank account outside your country. You may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in your country. You also may be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of your participation in the Plan to your country through a designated bank or broker and/or within a certain time after receipt. In addition, you may be subject to tax payment and/or reporting obligations in connection with any income realized under the Plan and/or from the sale of shares. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to be compliant with all such requirements, and that you should consult your personal legal and tax advisors, as applicable, to ensure compliance.

		
	M.
	Language. If you have received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

		
	N.
	Additional Terms and Conditions that Apply to Grants in Certain Countries & Imposition of Other Requirements. Any Awards granted to you under the Plan are also subject to the additional terms and conditions set forth in Part 8 of the Points of Interest available on hrSource Online>My Stock & Benefits>Stock Awards Additional Information>Document Library for your country, if any. Moreover, if you relocate to one of the countries subject to additional terms and conditions, the additional terms and conditions for such country will apply to you to the extent that Pfizer determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. Pfizer reserves the right to impose any additional country-specific and/or other requirements on your participation in the Plan, on the 2017 Award, including requiring the immediate forced sale of shares issuable upon settlement, and on any shares acquired under the Plan to the extent Pfizer determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require you to accept any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

		
	O.
	Waiver. You acknowledge that a waiver by Pfizer of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by yourself or any other participant.

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.

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 by $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (provided that in no event shall the Total Revolving Credit Commitment be reduced in such manner to an amount less than one-third (1/3rd), rounded to the nearest $100,000.00, of the greatest Total Revolving Credit Commitment in effect under this Agreement at any time) or to terminate entirely the Revolving Credit Commitments, whereupon the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be reduced pro rata as provided herein in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages of the amount specified in such notice or, as the case may be, terminated, any such termination or reduction to be without penalty except as otherwise set forth in §4.8; provided, however, that no such termination or reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto, (x) the Dollar Equivalent of the sum of Outstanding U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loans, Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Loans and the Letter of Credit Liabilities would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders as so terminated or reduced, (y) the sum of the Dollar Equivalent of the Outstanding U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Loans, and Letter of Credit Liabilities would exceed the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments of the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders as so terminated or reduced, or (z) the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Loans would exceed the Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment of the Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders as so terminated and reduced hereunder; provided, further, that such notice may be revoked or modified in connection with a requested termination of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments that is contingent, if notice of such contingency has been provided pursuant to this Section and is contingent on the consummation of a refinancing or other transaction that does not close on the originally anticipated closing date.  Any reduction of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall, subject to the terms of §2.3, be allocated pro rata between the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment and the Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment, with such pro rata allocation determined by the amount that the Total U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment and 

34

the Total Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments respectively bear to the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, and shall be applied to each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage and Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage, respectively.  Promptly after receiving any notice from the Borrower delivered pursuant to this §2.4, the Agent will notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of the substance thereof.  Any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall also result in a proportionate reduction (rounded to the next lowest integral multiple of $100,000) in the maximum amount of Swing Loans and Letters of Credit.  Upon the effective date of any such reduction or termination, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Revolving Credit Lenders the full amount of any Unused Fee or Facility Fee under §2.3 then accrued on the amount of the reduction.  No reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments may be reinstated.
Swing Loan Commitment.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Swing Loan Lender agrees to lend in Dollars to the Borrower (the “Swing Loans”), and the Borrower may borrow (and repay and reborrow) from time to time between the Closing Date and the date which is five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date upon notice by the Borrower to the Swing Loan Lender given in accordance with this §2.5, such sums as are requested by the Borrower for the purposes set forth in §2.9 in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not exceeding the Swing Loan Commitment; provided that in all events (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (ii) the Dollar Equivalent of the outstanding principal amount of the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans (after giving effect to all amounts requested) plus Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not at any time exceed the Total U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment; and (iii) the Dollar Equivalent of the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans (including the Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Loans), Swing Loans and Term Loans (after giving effect to all amounts requested), plus Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not at any time exceed the lesser of (A) the Total Commitment or (B) the Borrowing Base Availability (giving effect to the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of all Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans (including the Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Loans), Swing Loans, Term Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this §2.5, the Swing Loan Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Loan at a time when any other U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless the Swing Loan Lender is reasonably satisfied that the participation therein will otherwise be fully allocated to the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders consistent with §2.13(c) and the Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein, except to the extent the Swing Loan Lender has entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender that are satisfactory to the Swing Loan Lender in its good faith determination to eliminate the Swing Loan Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to any such Defaulting Lender, including the delivery of cash collateral.  Swing Loans shall constitute “U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loans” for all purposes hereunder.  The funding of a Swing Loan hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that all of the conditions set forth in §10 and §11 have been satisfied on the date of such funding.  The Swing Loan Lender may assume that the conditions in §10 and §11 have been satisfied unless Swing Loan Lender has received written notice from a U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender that such conditions have not been satisfied.  Each Swing Loan shall be due and payable within five (5) Business Days of the date such Swing Loan was provided and Borrower hereby agrees (to the extent not repaid as contemplated by §2.5(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.  A Swing Loan may not be refinanced with another Swing Loan.
[Intentionally Omitted.]
Borrower shall request a Swing Loan by delivering to the Swing Loan Lender a Revolving Credit Loan Request executed by an Authorized Officer no later than 2:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the requested Drawdown Date specifying the amount of the requested Swing Loan (which shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000.00) and providing the wire instructions for the delivery of the Swing Loan proceeds.  The Revolving Credit Loan Request shall also contain the statements and certifications required by §2.7(i) and (ii).  Each such Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept such Swing Loan on the Drawdown Date.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Swing Loan shall be a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan and shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Base Rate Loans.  The proceeds 

35

of the Swing Loan will be disbursed by wire by the Swing Loan Lender to the Borrower no later than 4:00 p.m. (Cleveland time).
The Swing Loan Lender shall, within two (2) Business Days after the Drawdown Date with respect to such Swing Loan, request each U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender, including the Swing Loan Lender, to make a U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.1(a) in an amount equal to such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of the Swing Loan outstanding on the date such notice is given.  In the event that the Borrower does not notify the Agent in writing otherwise on or before noon (Cleveland Time) of the second (2nd) Business Day after the Drawdown Date with respect to such Swing Loan, Agent shall notify the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders that such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan shall be a Revolving Credit Floating Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month, provided that the making of such Floating Rate Loan will not be in contravention of any other provision of this Agreement, or if the making of a Revolving Credit Floating Rate Loan would be in contravention of this Agreement, then such notice shall indicate that such Loan shall be a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan.  Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Swing Loan Lender to so act on its behalf, and agrees that any amount advanced to the Agent for the benefit of the Swing Loan Lender pursuant to this §2.5(d) shall be considered a U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.1(a).  Unless any of the events described in paragraph (h), (i) or (j) of §12.1 shall have occurred (in which event the procedures of §2.5(e) shall apply), each U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender shall make the proceeds of its U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan available to the Swing Loan Lender for the account of the Swing Loan Lender at the Agent’s Head Office prior to 12:00 noon (Cleveland time) in Same Day Funds no later than the third (3rd) Business Day after the date such notice is given just as if the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders were funding directly to the Borrower, so that thereafter such Obligations shall be evidenced by the Revolving Credit Notes (U.S. Dollar).  The proceeds of such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan shall be immediately applied to repay the Swing Loans.
If for any reason a Swing Loan cannot be refinanced by a U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.5(d), each U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender will, on the date such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.5(d) was to have been made, purchase an undivided participation interest in the Swing Loan in an amount equal to its U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Swing Loan.  Each U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender will immediately transfer to the Swing Loan Lender in immediately available funds the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Swing Loan Lender will deliver to such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender a Swing Loan participation certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount.
Whenever at any time after the Swing Loan Lender has received from any  U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s participation interest in a Swing Loan, the Swing Loan Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swing Loan Lender will distribute to such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender its participation interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted in the case of interest payments to reflect the period of time during which such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Loan Lender is required to be returned, such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender will return to the Swing Loan Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Swing Loan Lender to it.
Each U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to fund a U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan as provided in §2.5(d) or to purchase participation interests pursuant to §2.5(e) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender or the Borrower may have against the Swing Loan Lender, the Borrower 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, REIT or any of their respective Subsidiaries; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by the Borrower, Guarantors or any Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.  Any portions of a Swing Loan not so purchased or converted may be treated by the Agent and Swing Loan Lender as against such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender as a U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan which was not funded by the non‐purchasing U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender as contemplated by §2.8 and §12.5, and shall have such rights and remedies against such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender as are set forth in §§2.8, 2.13, 12.5 and 14.5.  Each Swing Loan, once so sold or converted, shall cease to be a Swing Loan for the purposes of this Agreement, 

36

but shall be a U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan made by each U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender under its U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment.
Interest on Loans.
Each Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the date on which such Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan is repaid or converted to a Revolving Credit Floating Rate Loan at the rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) the sum of the Base Rate applicable to such Revolving Credit Loan plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Base Rate Loans and (ii) the sum of the Floating Rate that would be applicable to such Revolving Credit Loan if it was a Floating Rate Loan determined for a thirty (30) day Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Base Rate Loans.
Each Revolving Credit Floating 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 the Floating Rate applicable to such Revolving Credit Loan determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Floating Rate Loans.
Each Term Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the date on which such Term Base Rate Loan is repaid or converted to a Term Floating Rate Loan at the rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) sum of the Base Rate applicable to such Term Loan plus the Applicable Margin for Term Base Rate Loans and (ii) the sum of LIBOR determined for a thirty (30) day Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for Term Base Rate Loans.
Each Term Floating 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 the Floating Rate determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for Term Floating Rate Loans.
The Borrower promises to pay interest on each Loan in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect thereto.
Base Rate Loans and Floating Rate Loans may be converted to Loans in the same currency of the other Type as provided in §4.1.
For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever a rate of interest or fee rate hereunder is calculated on the basis of a year (the “deemed year”) that contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest or fee rate shall be expressed as a yearly rate by multiplying such rate of interest or fee rate by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year, (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation hereunder and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated herein are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.
Requests for Loans.  Except with respect to the initial Loans made in Dollars on the Closing Date, the Borrower shall give to the Agent written notice executed by an Authorized Officer in the form of Exhibit E hereto (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing in the form of Exhibit E hereto) of each Revolving Credit Loan requested hereunder (a “Loan Request”) (a) by 11:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to Revolving Credit Base Rate Loans and three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to Revolving Credit Floating Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, and (b) by 11:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to Revolving Credit Floating Rate Loans to be determined in the Alternative Currency.  Each such notice shall specify with respect to the requested Revolving Credit Loan the proposed principal amount of such Revolving Credit Loan, whether such Loan is to be denominated in Dollars or the Alternative Currency, if such Revolving Credit Loan is to be denominated in Dollars, whether such Loan is to be a U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan or an Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Loan, the Type of Revolving Credit Loan, the initial Interest Period (if applicable) for such Revolving Credit Loan and the Drawdown Date.  All Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Loans denominated in the Alternative Currency shall be Floating Rate 

37

Loans except as provided in §§4.1(c), 4.1(d), 4.6, 4.7 and 4.8.  Each such notice shall also contain (i) a general statement as to the purpose for which such advance shall be used (which purpose shall be in accordance with the terms of §2.9) and (ii) a certification by the chief financial officer or chief accounting officer of Borrower (or of the REIT) that the Borrower and Guarantors (including any Unencumbered Property Subsidiary) are and will be in compliance with all covenants under the Loan Documents after giving effect to the making of such Revolving Credit Loan.  If Borrower fails to specify a currency in a Loan Request requesting a Revolving Credit Loan, then the requested Revolving Credit Loan shall be made in Dollars and, if Borrower fails to specify whether a Revolving Credit Loan to be made in Dollars is to be a U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan or an Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Loan, such request shall be deemed a request for a U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan.  Promptly upon receipt of any such notice, the Agent shall notify each of the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders thereof.  Each such Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept the Revolving Credit Loan requested from the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders on the proposed Drawdown Date; provided, that such Loan Request may be revoked or modified that is contingent, if notice of such contingency has been provided pursuant to this Section and is contingent on the consummation of a refinancing or other transaction that does not close on the originally anticipated closing date; provided, further, that Borrower shall remain liable for any Breakage Costs.  Nothing herein shall prevent the Borrower from seeking recourse against any Revolving Credit Lender that fails to advance its proportionate share of a requested Revolving Credit Loan as required by this Agreement.  Each Revolving Credit Loan Request 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 Floating Rate Loan in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $250,000.00 in excess thereof; provided, however, that there shall be no more than eight (8) Floating Rate Loans (whether Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans) outstanding at any one time.
Funds for Loans.
Not later than 1:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the proposed Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans denominated in Dollars, each of the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, will make available to the Agent, at the Agent’s Head Office, in Same Day Funds in the applicable currency, the amount of such Lender’s applicable Commitment Percentage of the amount of the requested Loans which may be disbursed pursuant to §2.1 or §2.2, as applicable.  In the case of a borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency, each Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Lender shall make the amount of its Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Loan available to the Agent in the Alternative Currency in Same Day Funds at the Agent’s Office not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Agent on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Request.  Upon receipt from each such applicable Lender of such amount, and upon receipt of the documents required by §10 and §11 and the satisfaction of the other conditions set forth therein, to the extent applicable, the Agent will make available to the Borrower the aggregate amount of such Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans made available to the Agent by the Lenders in like funds as received by the Agent by crediting such amount to the account of the Borrower maintained at the Agent’s Head Office.  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 applicable Commitment Percentage of the requested Loan shall not relieve any other Lender from its several obligation hereunder to make available to the Agent the amount of such other Lender’s applicable Commitment Percentage of any requested Loan, including any additional Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans that may be requested subject to the terms and conditions hereof to provide funds to replace those not advanced by the Lender so failing or refusing.
Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the applicable Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loan or Term Loan that such Lender will not make available to Agent such Lender’s applicable Commitment Percentage of a proposed Loan in the applicable currency, Agent may in its discretion assume that such Lender has made such Loan available to Agent in the applicable currency 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 in the applicable currency 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 

38

applicable rate for such Loan or (ii) from a Lender at the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus with respect to any payment to be made by a Lender that is denominated in the Alternative Currency, the cost to Agent of funding such amount (as determined by Agent).
Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.
Use of Proceeds.  The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans and the Letters of Credit solely to (a) pay closing costs in connection with this Agreement; (b) repay existing loans, fund future development projects and property and equipment acquisitions of Borrower and its Subsidiaries (which may include Investments by Borrower permitted under §8.3(l)); (c) to make Distributions permitted by this Agreement; and (d) for general working capital purposes.  In no event shall the Borrower and the Guarantors use the proceeds of the Loans and the Letters of Credit to purchase or carry, or extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying, any “margin security” or “margin stock” as such terms are used in Regulations T, U and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 12 C.F.R. Parts 220, 221 and 224.
Letters of Credit.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at any time and from time to time from the Closing Date through the day that is ninety (90) days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Issuing Lender shall issue such Letters of Credit designated in Dollars as the Borrower may request upon the delivery of a written request in the form of Exhibit F hereto (a “Letter of Credit Request”) to the Issuing Lender, provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) upon issuance of such Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not exceed Thirty‐Five Million Dollars ($35,000,000.00), (iii) in no event shall the Dollar Equivalent of the sum of (A) the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loans Outstanding, (B) the Swing Loans Outstanding and (C) the amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities (after giving effect to all Letters of Credit requested) exceed the Total U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment, (iv) in no event shall the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans (including the Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Loans), Swing Loans and Term Loans and aggregate Letters of Credit Liabilities (after giving effect to any requested Letters of Credit) exceed the lesser of (A) the Total Commitment or (B) the Borrowing Base Availability (giving effect to the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of all Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans (including the Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Loans), Outstanding Swing Loans, Outstanding Term Loans and aggregate Letter of Credit Liabilities), or cause a violation of the covenant set forth in §9.1, (v) the conditions set forth in §§10 and 11 shall have been satisfied, and (vi) in no event shall any amount drawn under a Letter of Credit be available for reinstatement or a subsequent drawing under such Letter of Credit.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this §2.10, the Issuing Lender shall not be obligated to issue, amend, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit at a time when any other U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless the Issuing Lender is reasonably satisfied that the participation therein will otherwise be fully allocated to the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders consistent with §2.13(c) and the Defaulting Lender shall have no participation therein, except to the extent the Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender which are satisfactory to the Issuing Lender in its good faith determination to eliminate the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to any such Defaulting Lender, including the delivery of cash collateral.  The Issuing Lender may assume that the conditions in §10 and §11 have been satisfied unless it receives written notice from a U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender that such conditions have not been satisfied.  Each Letter of Credit Request shall be executed by an Authorized Officer of Borrower.  The Issuing Lender shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Person’s authority to request a Letter of Credit on behalf of Borrower.  The Issuing Lender shall have no duty to verify the authenticity of any signature appearing on a Letter of Credit Request.  The Borrower assumes all risks with respect to the use of the Letters of Credit.  Unless the Issuing Lender and the Required U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders otherwise consent, the term of any Letter of Credit shall not exceed a period of time commencing on the issuance of the Letter of Credit and ending one year after the date of issuance thereof, subject to extension pursuant to an “evergreen” clause acceptable to Agent and Issuing Lender (but in any event the term shall not extend beyond the Revolving Credit Maturity Date).  The amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit shall reduce on a dollar-for-dollar basis the amount 

39

available to be drawn under the Total U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment as a U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan.  The Existing Letters of Credit shall upon the Closing Date be deemed to be Letters of Credit under this Agreement.
Each Letter of Credit Request shall be submitted to the Issuing Lender at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as the Issuing Lender may approve) prior to the date upon which the requested Letter of Credit is to be issued.  Each such Letter of Credit Request shall contain (i) a statement as to the purpose for which such Letter of Credit shall be used (which purpose shall be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), and (ii) a certification by the chief financial or chief accounting officer of Borrower that the Borrower and Guarantors (including any Unencumbered Property Subsidiary) are and will be in compliance with all covenants under the Loan Documents after giving effect to the issuance of such Letter of Credit.  The Borrower shall further deliver to the Issuing Lender such additional applications (which application as of the date hereof is in the form of Exhibit I attached hereto) and documents as the Issuing Lender may require, in conformity with the then standard practices of its letter of credit department, in connection with the issuance of such Letter of Credit; provided that in the event of any conflict, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
The Issuing Lender shall, subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, issue the Letter of Credit on or before five (5) Business Days following receipt of the documents last due pursuant to §2.10(b).  Each Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender in its reasonable discretion.
Upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit, each U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have purchased a participation therein from Issuing Lender in an amount equal to its respective U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit.  No U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to participate in a Letter of Credit shall be affected by any other U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s failure to perform as required herein with respect to such Letter of Credit or any other Letter of Credit.
Upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender (i) for its own account, a Letter of Credit fronting fee calculated at the rate per annum equal to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) 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 U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders (including the Issuing Lender) in accordance with their respective percentage shares of participation in such Letter of Credit, a Letter of Credit fee calculated at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Floating Rate Loans on the amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.  Such fee under clause (e)(i) shall be payable upon issuance of the Letter of Credit and the fee under clause (e)(ii) shall be payable in quarterly installments in arrears with respect to each Letter of Credit on the first day of each calendar quarter following the date of issuance and continuing on each quarter or portion thereof thereafter, as applicable, or on any earlier date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate and on the expiration or return of any Letter of Credit.  In addition, the Borrower shall pay to Issuing Lender for its own account within five (5) days of demand of Issuing Lender the standard issuance, documentation and service charges for Letters of Credit issued from time to time by Issuing Lender.
In the event that any amount is drawn under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender by having such amount drawn treated as an outstanding U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan that is a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan denominated in Dollars under this Agreement (Borrower being deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan denominated in Dollars on such date in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and such amount drawn shall be treated as an outstanding Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan under the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment denominated in Dollars under this Agreement) and the Agent shall promptly notify each U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender by telecopy, email, telephone (confirmed in writing) or other similar means of transmission, and each U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Agent, for the Issuing Lender’s own account, an amount equal to such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Letter of Credit (to the extent of the amount drawn).  Borrower further hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Agent to notify the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders of Borrower’s intent to convert such Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan to a Revolving Credit Floating Rate Loan denominated in Dollars with an Interest Period of one (1) month on the third (3rd) Business Day following the funding by the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders of their advance under this §2.10(f), provided that the making of such Revolving Credit Floating Rate Loan shall not be a contravention of any provision of this Agreement.  If and 

40

to the extent any U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender shall not make such amount available on the Business Day on which such draw is funded, such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender agrees to pay such amount to the Agent forthwith on demand, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date on which such draw was funded until the date on which such amount is paid to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate until three (3) days after the date on which the Agent gives notice of such draw and at the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus one percent (1.0%) for each day thereafter.  Further, such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Revolving Credit Loans, amounts due with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit and any other amounts due to it hereunder to the Agent to fund the amount of any drawn Letter of Credit which such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender was required to fund pursuant to this §2.10(f) until such amount has been funded (as a result of such assignment or otherwise).  The failure of any U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender to make funds available to the Agent in such amount shall not relieve any other U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender of its obligation hereunder to make funds available to the Agent pursuant to this §2.10(f).
If after the issuance of a Letter of Credit pursuant to §2.10(c) by the Issuing Lender, but prior to the funding of any portion thereof by a U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender, for any reason a drawing under a Letter of Credit cannot be refinanced as a U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan, each U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender will, on the date such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.10(f) was to have been made, purchase an undivided participation interest in the Letter of Credit in an amount equal to its U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit.  Each U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender will immediately transfer to the Issuing Lender in immediately available funds the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Issuing Lender will deliver to such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender a Letter of Credit participation certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount.
Whenever at any time after the Issuing Lender has received from any U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender any such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s payment of funds under a Letter of Credit and thereafter the Issuing Lender receives any payment on account thereof, then the Issuing Lender will distribute to such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender its participation interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted in the case of interest payments to reflect the period of time during which such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s participation interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Issuing Lender is required to be returned, such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender will return to the Issuing Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it.
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.
Borrower assumes all risks of the acts, omissions, or misuse of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof.  Neither Agent, Issuing Lender nor any Lender will be responsible for (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Letter of Credit or any document submitted by any party in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if such document should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with the conditions required in order to demand payment under a Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document or draft required by or from a beneficiary in order to make a disbursement under a Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; (vii) 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, Issuing Lender or the Lenders hereunder.  In furtherance and extension and not in limitation or derogation of any of the foregoing, any act taken or omitted to be taken by Agent, Issuing Lender or the other Lenders in good faith will be binding on Borrower and will not put Agent, Issuing Lender or the other Lenders under any resulting liability to Borrower; provided nothing contained herein shall relieve Issuing Lender for liability to Borrower arising 

41

as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Lender as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods.
Increase in Total Commitment.
Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this §2.11, the Borrower shall have the option at any time and from time to time before the date which is ninety (90) days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable, to request an increase in the Total U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment and/or the Total Term Loan Commitment to a Total Commitment of not more than $1,250,000,000.00 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 $5,000,000.00.  Upon receipt of any Increase Notice, the Agent shall consult with Arranger and shall notify the Borrower of the amount of facility fees to be paid to any Lenders who provide an additional Commitment in connection with such increase in the Total Commitment (which shall be in addition to the fees to be paid to Agent or Arranger 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 U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment and/or the Total Term Loan Commitment and of the facility fees to be paid with respect thereto.  Each Lender who desires to provide an additional U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment upon such terms shall provide Agent with a written commitment letter within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the Additional Commitment Request Notice, specifying the amount of the additional U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loan 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 Agent and the Arranger shall allocate the Commitment Increase among the Lenders who provide such commitment letters on such basis mutually acceptable to the Borrower, the Agent and the Arranger.  If, as of the tenth (10th) Business Day after receipt by Lenders of the Additional Commitment Request Notice, the additional U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitments so provided are not sufficient to provide the full amount of the Commitment Increase requested by the Borrower, then the Agent, Arranger or 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, Arranger and Borrower) to become a Lender and provide an additional U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment.  The Agent shall provide all Lenders with a notice setting forth the amount, if any, of the additional U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment to be provided by each Lender and the revised U.S. Dollar Commitment Percentages, Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages and/or Term Loan Commitment Percentages which shall be applicable after the effective date of the Commitment Increase specified therein (the “Commitment Increase Date”).  In no event shall any Lender be obligated to provide an additional Commitment.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no increase to the Total U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment shall increase the Total Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment.
On any Commitment Increase Date on which the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment is increased, the outstanding principal balance of the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loans shall be reallocated among the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders such that after the applicable Commitment Increase Date the outstanding principal amount of U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loans owed to each U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender shall be equal to such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage (as in effect after the applicable Commitment Increase Date) of the outstanding principal amount of all U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loans.  The participation interests of the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders in Swing Loans and Letters of Credit shall be similarly adjusted.  On any Commitment Increase Date those U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders whose U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage is increasing shall advance in the applicable currency the funds to the Agent and the funds so advanced shall be distributed among the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders whose U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage is decreasing as necessary to accomplish the required reallocation of the outstanding U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loans.  The funds so advanced shall be Revolving Credit Base Rate Loans until converted to Revolving Credit Floating Rate Loans, which are allocated among all U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders based on their U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages.  Borrower further agrees to pay any Breakage Costs, if any, resulting from any Commitment Increase.

42

Upon the effective date of each increase in the Total U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment or Total Term Loan Commitment pursuant to this §2.11 the Agent may unilaterally revise Schedule 1.1 and the Borrower shall, if requested by such Lender, execute and deliver to the Agent new Revolving Credit Notes (U.S. Dollar) or Term Loan Notes, as applicable, for each Lender whose Commitment has changed so that the principal amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Note (U.S. Dollar) shall equal its U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment and the principal amount of its Term Loan Note shall equal its Term Loan Commitment.  The Agent shall deliver such replacement Revolving Credit Notes (U.S. Dollar) and Term Loan Notes to the respective Lenders in exchange for the Revolving Credit Notes (U.S. Dollar) and Term Loan Notes replaced thereby which shall be surrendered by such Lenders.  Such new Revolving Credit Notes (U.S. Dollar) and Term Loan Notes shall provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Revolving Credit Notes (U.S. Dollar) or Term Loan Notes and that they do not constitute a novation, shall be dated as of the Commitment Increase Date and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the replaced Revolving Credit Notes (U.S. Dollar) or Term Loan Notes, as applicable.  Upon Agent’s request within five (5) days of issuance of any new Notes pursuant to this §2.11(c), the Borrower shall deliver an opinion of counsel, addressed to the Lenders and the Agent, relating to the due authorization, execution and delivery of such new 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 returned to the Borrower.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the obligation of the Agent and the Lenders to increase any portion of the Total Commitment pursuant to this §2.11 shall be conditioned upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent which must be satisfied prior to the effectiveness of any increase of the Total Commitment:
Payment of Activation Fee.  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 Arranger such facility fees as the Lenders who are providing an additional Commitment may require to increase or provide the aggregate Commitment, which fees shall, when paid, be fully earned and non‐refundable under any circumstances.  The Arranger shall pay to the Lenders acquiring or providing the increased Commitment certain fees pursuant to their separate agreement; and
No Default.  On the date any Increase Notice is given and on the date such increase becomes effective, both immediately before and after the Total Commitment is increased, there shall exist no Default or Event of Default; and
Representations True.  The representations and warranties made by the Borrower and the Guarantors in the Loan Documents or otherwise made by or on behalf of the Borrower and the Guarantors in connection therewith or after the date thereof shall have been true and correct in all material respects when made and shall also be true and correct in all material respects on the date of such Increase Notice and on the date the Total 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
Additional Documents and Expenses.  The Borrower shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to Agent and the Lenders such additional documents, instruments, certifications and opinions as the Agent may reasonably require in its reasonable 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.
Extension of Revolving Credit Maturity Date.   The Borrower shall have the one-time right and option to extend the Revolving Credit Maturity Date to January 25, 2021, upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent, which must be satisfied prior to the effectiveness of any extension of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date:
Extension Request.  The Borrower shall deliver written notice of such request (the “Extension Request”) to the Agent not later than the date which is thirty (30) days prior to the then current Revolving Credit Maturity Date.  Any such Extension Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.

43

Payment of Extension Fee.  The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the pro rata accounts of the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments an extension fee in an amount equal to seven and one-half (7.5) basis points on the Total Revolving Credit Commitment in effect on the then current Revolving Credit Maturity Date, which fee shall, when paid, be fully earned and non-refundable under any circumstances.
No Default.  On the date the Extension Request is given and on the then current Revolving Credit Maturity Date there shall exist no Default or Event of Default.
Representations and Warranties.  The representations and warranties made by the Borrower and the Guarantors in the Loan Documents or otherwise made by or on behalf of the Borrower and the Guarantors in connection therewith or after the date thereof shall have been true and correct in all material respects when made and shall also be true and correct in all material respects on the date the Extension Request is given and on the then current Revolving Credit Maturity Date (it being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects only as of such specified date).
Provided that the Borrower has duly exercised its option to extend the initial Revolving Credit Maturity Date in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in §2.12(a) above, the Borrower shall have the one-time right and option to further extend the Revolving Credit Maturity Date to July 25, 2021, upon further satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in §2.12(a)(i)-(iv) above, which must be again satisfied prior to the effectiveness of any further extension of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.
Defaulting Lenders.
If for any reason any Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the Agent or the Borrower under this Agreement or applicable law, such Defaulting Lender’s right to participate in the administration of the Revolving Credit Loans, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation, any right to vote in respect of, to consent to or to direct any action or inaction of the Agent or to be taken into account in the calculation of the Required Lenders, the Required Revolving Credit Lenders, the Required U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders, the Required Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders, the Required Term Loan Lenders or all of the Lenders, shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal.  If a Lender is a Defaulting Lender because it has failed to make timely payment to the Agent of any amount required to be paid to the Agent hereunder (without giving effect to any notice or cure periods), in addition to other rights and remedies which the Agent or the Borrower may have hereunder or otherwise, the Agent shall be entitled (i) to collect interest from such Defaulting Lender on such delinquent payment for the period from the date on which the payment was due until the date on which the payment is made at the Federal Funds Effective Rate, (ii) to withhold or setoff and to apply in satisfaction of the defaulted payment and any related interest any amounts otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with §2.13(d) and (iii) to bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest.  Any amounts received by the Agent in respect of a Defaulting Lender’s Loans and/or Commitment shall be applied as set forth in §2.13(d).
Any Non-Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated, in its sole discretion, to acquire all or a portion of a Defaulting Lender’s Commitment.  Any Lender desiring to exercise such right shall give written notice thereof to the Agent and the Borrower no sooner than two (2) Business Days and not later than five (5) Business Days after such Defaulting Lender became a Defaulting Lender.  If more than one Lender exercises such right, each such Lender shall have the right to acquire its pro rata share of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment in proportion to the Commitments of the other Lenders exercising such right.  If after such fifth (5th) Business Day, the Lenders have not elected to purchase all of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists) or the Required Lenders may, by giving written notice thereof to the Agent, the Borrower, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, demand (but shall have no obligation to so demand) that such Defaulting Lender assign its Commitment to an assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of §18.1 for the purchase price provided for below and upon any such demand such Defaulting Lender shall comply with such demand and shall 

44

consummate such assignment (subject to and in accordance with the provisions of §18.1).  No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an assignee.  Upon any such purchase or assignment, and any such demand with respect to which the conditions specified in §18.1 have been satisfied, the Defaulting Lender’s interest in its Commitments, Loans and rights hereunder (but not its liability in respect thereof or under the Loan Documents or this Agreement to the extent the same relate to the period prior to the effective date of the purchase) shall terminate on the date of purchase and assignment, and the Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser or assignee thereof, including an appropriate Assignment and Acceptance Agreement.  The purchase price for the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender shall be equal to the amount of the principal balance of the Loans (including the Dollar Equivalent of Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Loans) outstanding and owed by the Borrower to the Defaulting Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any accrued but unpaid fees incurred prior to such Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender.  Prior to payment of such purchase price to a Defaulting Lender, the Agent shall apply against such purchase price any amounts retained by the Agent pursuant to §2.13(d).
During any period in which there is a U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender that is a Defaulting Lender, all or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s obligation to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to §2.10(g) or Swing Loans pursuant to §2.5(e) shall be reallocated among the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages for U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loans (computed without giving effect to the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender; provided that (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists, (ii) the conditions set forth in §10 and §11 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have notified the Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at the time), (iii) the representations and warranties in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such reallocation with the same effect as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent of changes resulting from transactions permitted by the Loan Documents (it being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct only as of such specified date), and (iv) the aggregate obligation of each U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender that is a Non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (A) the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment of that Non-Defaulting Lender minus (B) the sum of (1) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loans of that Lender plus (2) such Lender’s pro rata portion in accordance with its U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities and participations in Swing Loans.  Subject to §34, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to §13), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows:  first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent (other than with respect to Letter of Credit Liabilities) hereunder; second, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender (with respect to Letter of Credit Liabilities) and/or the Swing Loan Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Agent or requested by the Issuing Lender or the Swing Loan Lender, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit or Swing Loan; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans or participations under this Agreement and (y) be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit or Swing Loan; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Agent or the Lenders (including the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender) as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Agent or any Lender (including the Issuing 

45

Lender and the Swing Loan Lender) against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (i) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (ii) such Loans or funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in §10 and §11, to the extent required by this Agreement, were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans of, and funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders as applicable on a pro rata basis until such time as all Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their applicable Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages and Term Loan Commitment Percentages, as applicable, without regard to §2.13(c), prior to being applied to the payment of any Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans of, or funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans owed to, such Defaulting Lender.  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this §2.13(d) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto, and to the extent allocated to the repayment of principal of the Loan, shall not be considered outstanding principal under this Agreement.
Within five (5) Business Days of demand by the Issuing Lender or Swing Loan Lender from time to time, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent for the benefit of the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender cash collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure with respect to the Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender (after giving effect to §2.5(a), §2.10(a) and §2.13(c)) on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender and/or Swing Loan Lender in its good faith determination (and such cash collateral shall be in Dollars).  Any such cash collateral shall be deposited in the Collateral Account as collateral (solely for the benefit of the Issuing Lender and/or the Swing Loan Lender) for the payment and performance of each Defaulting Lender’s pro rata portion in accordance with their respective U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages of outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swing Loans.  Moneys in the Collateral Account deposited pursuant to this section shall be applied by the Agent to reimburse the Issuing Lender and/or the Swing Loan Lender immediately for each Defaulting Lender’s pro rata portion in accordance with their respective U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages of any funding obligation with respect to a Letter of Credit or Swing Loan which has not otherwise been reimbursed by the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender.  Any amounts deposited in the Collateral Account (or any portion thereof) shall be refunded to the Borrower promptly upon any of the following (as applicable) (i) the applicable Letter of Credit in connection with which it was provided being terminated or cancelled (without any drawing thereon), (ii) all Fronting Exposure with respect to the Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender has been eliminated or (iii) as provided in §§12.1 and 12.6(d) and (f).
(i)    Each Revolving Credit Lender that is a Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Unused Fee or Facility Fee pursuant to §2.3 for any period during which that Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender.
(ii)    Each Revolving Credit Lender that is a Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive Letter of Credit fees pursuant to §2.10(e) for any period during which that Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender.
(iii)    With respect to any Unused Fee, Facility Fee or Letter of Credit fees not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that is a U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities or Swing Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to §2.13(c), (y) pay to the Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the Issuing Lender’s or Swing Loan Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender and (z) not be required to pay any remaining amount of any such fee.

46

If the Borrower (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists) and the Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding 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 on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Commitments (without giving effect to §2.13(c)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and any applicable cash collateral provided by the Borrower shall be promptly refunded to the Borrower; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender (including any application of such payments pursuant to §2.13(d)); and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
Evidence of Debt.  The indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from the Loans made by each Lender from time to time shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and the Agent in the ordinary course of business, including, without limitation, the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.  The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent and the Lenders to make, or cause to be made, at or about the time of the Drawdown Date of any Loan or at the time of receipt of any payment thereof, an appropriate notation on Agent’s and the Lender’s records reflecting the making of such Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment.  The Agent shall maintain accounts or records in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record:  (i) the date and the amount of each Loan made hereunder and the applicable currency, the Type of Loan and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.  The accounts or records maintained by the Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations recorded therein and shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon.  Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes, if any, to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.  The Borrower agrees that upon the request of any Lender made through the Agent (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise), the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Agent) a Revolving Credit Note, a Term Loan Note and/or a Swing Loan Note, as applicable, payable to the order of such Lender, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records.  Each Lender may attach schedules to its Notes and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.  All references to Notes in the Loan Documents shall mean Notes, if any, to the extent issued hereunder.  By delivery of this Agreement and any Revolving Credit Note and/or Swing Loan Note, there shall not be deemed to have occurred, and there has not otherwise occurred, any payment, satisfaction or novation of the Indebtedness evidenced by the “Revolving Credit Notes” and the “Swing Loan Note” described in the Existing Credit Agreement, which Indebtedness under such Revolving Credit Notes is instead allocated among the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders as of the date hereof as U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loans in accordance with their respective U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages, and which Indebtedness under the Swing Loan Note is allocated to the Swing Loan Lender, and such Indebtedness is evidenced by this Agreement and any Revolving Credit Notes (U.S. Dollar) and Swing Loan Note, as applicable.  The U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders shall as of the date hereof make such adjustments to the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders so that such outstanding Revolving Credit Loans are consistent with their respective U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages.
REPAYMENT OF THE LOANS.
Stated Maturity.  The Borrower promises to pay on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date all of the Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Loans and other Letter of Credit Liabilities outstanding on such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest 

47

thereon.  Borrower promises to pay on the Term Loan Maturity Date and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date all of the Outstanding Term Loans on such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.  
Mandatory Prepayments.
If at any time the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loans, outstanding principal balance of the Swing Loans and the aggregate Letter of Credit Liabilities exceeds the Total U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment, then the Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days of such occurrence pay the amount of such excess to the Agent for the respective accounts of the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable, for application to the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit 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 Swing Loan Lender.
If at any time the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Loans exceeds the Total Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment, then the Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days (or only in the event that such excess is the result of a determination on a Revaluation Date that the Dollar Equivalent of the Outstanding Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Loans exceeds the Total Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment, five (5) Business Days after receipt of notice from Agent) of such occurrence pay the amount of such excess to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable, for application to the Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Loans as provided in §3.4, together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to §4.8.
In the event of the occurrence of a Change of Control, then on the date that is thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such Change of Control all of the Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans, Swing Loans and other Letter of Credit Liabilities Outstanding on such date, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any other fees or other amounts accrued and unpaid under the Loan Documents, shall be due and payable in full, and the Commitments of the Lenders shall terminate.
Optional Prepayments.
The Borrower shall have the right, at its election, to prepay the outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans and Swing Loans, as a whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium; provided, that if any prepayment of the outstanding amount of any Floating 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.
The Borrower shall give the Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) at least three (3) days prior written notice of any prepayment pursuant to this §3.3, in each case specifying the proposed date of prepayment of the Loans and the principal amount to be prepaid (provided that any such notice may be revoked or modified upon one (1) day’s prior notice to the Agent).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prior notice shall be required for the prepayment of any Swing Loan.
Partial Prepayments.  Each partial prepayment of the Loans under §3.3 shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 in excess thereof, shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest on the principal prepaid to the date of payment.  Each partial payment in Dollars under §3.3 shall be applied first to the principal of any Outstanding Swing Loans, then, in the absence of instruction by the Borrower, pro rata to the principal of U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loans, the principal of the Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Loans and the principal of Term Loans (and with respect to each category of Loans, first to the principal of Base Rate Loans, and then to the principal of Floating Rate Loans).  Each partial payment in Alternative Currency under §3.3 shall be applied to the principal of the Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Loans (first to the principal of any Base Rate Loans and then to the principal of any Floating Rate Loans). 

48

Effect of Prepayments.  Amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans prepaid under §3.2(a) and §3.3 prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date may be reborrowed as provided in §2.  Amounts of the Term Loans prepaid under this Agreement may not be reborrowed.
CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS.
Conversion Options.
The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert any of its outstanding U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loans, Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars or Term Loans to a U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan, Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars or Term Loan, respectively, of another Type and such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loans, Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars or Term Loans shall thereafter bear interest as a Base Rate Loan or a Floating Rate Loan, as applicable; provided that (i) with respect to any such conversion of a Floating Rate Loan denominated in Dollars 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 Floating Rate Loan; (ii) with respect to any such conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a Floating Rate Loan denominated in Dollars 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 $250,000.00 in excess thereof and, after giving effect to the making of such Loan, there shall be no more than eight (8) Floating Rate Loans (whether Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans) outstanding at any one time; and (iii) no Loan may be converted into a Floating Rate Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  All or any part of the outstanding U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loans, Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars or Term Loans of any Type may be converted as provided herein, provided that no partial conversion shall result in a Base Rate Loan in a principal amount of less than $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 or a Floating Rate Loan in a principal amount of less than $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $250,000.00.  On the date on which such conversion is being made, each Lender shall take such action as is necessary to transfer its applicable Commitment Percentage of such Loans to its applicable Lending Office.  Each Conversion/Continuation Request relating to the conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a Floating Rate Loan shall be irrevocable by the Borrower.
No Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Loan or U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan may be converted into or continued as a Revolving Credit Loan denominated in a different currency, but instead must be prepaid in the original currency of such Revolving Credit Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.
Any Floating 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 Floating Rate Loan may be continued as such when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but any such Floating Rate Loan 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.
In the event that the Borrower does not notify the Agent at least one (1) Business Day prior of its election hereunder with respect to any Floating Rate Loan, such Loan shall be automatically continued at the end of the applicable Interest Period as a Floating Rate Loan for an Interest Period of one month unless such Interest Period shall be greater than the time remaining until the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable, in which case such Loan shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan at the end of the applicable Interest Period.
Fees.  The Borrower agrees to pay to KeyBank and Arranger for their own account certain fees for services rendered or to be rendered in connection with the Loans as provided pursuant to a fee letter dated June 23, 2016 among Borrower, KeyBank and Arranger (the “Agreement Regarding Fees”).  Any annual agency or administration fee payable under the Agreement Regarding Fees shall be paid annually in advance.  All such fees shall be fully earned when paid and nonrefundable under any circumstances.

49

[Intentionally Omitted.]
Funds for Payments.
All payments in Dollars of principal, interest, facility fees, Letter of Credit fees, closing fees and any other amounts due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made to the Agent, for the respective accounts of the Lenders and the Agent, as the case may be, at the Agent’s Head Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the day when due (or such later time as is acceptable to the Agent in the event of a payment in full of all Loans and a termination of all Commitments hereunder), in each case in lawful money of the United States in Same Day Funds.  All payments in any Alternative Currency hereunder or otherwise under the Loan Documents shall be made to the Agent’s Head Office for payments in such Alternative Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Agent on the date specified herein.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the United States.  If, for any reason, the Borrower or any Guarantor is prohibited by any Applicable Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, the Borrower or Guarantor shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount.  All payments of principal of and interest on any Loan shall be payable in the same currency as the Loan is denominated other than as provided in the preceding sentence, and all other fees and other amounts payable under this Agreement shall be payable in Dollars.  With respect to the payment of any amount denominated in the Alternative Currency, the Agent shall not be liable to the Borrower or any Revolving Credit Lender in any way whatsoever for any delay, or the consequences of any delay, in the crediting to any account of any amount required by this Agreement to be paid by the Agent if the Agent shall have taken all relevant steps to achieve, on the date required by this Agreement, the payment of such amount in Same Day Funds in the applicable Alternative Currency to the account with Agent designated by Borrower or the applicable Lending Office.  For purposes of this clause, “all relevant steps” means all such steps as may be prescribed from time to time by the regulations or operating procedures of such clearing or settlement system as the Agent may from time to time determine for the purpose of clearing or settling payments of the applicable Alternative Currency.  To the extent not already paid pursuant to this paragraph, the Agent is hereby authorized to charge the accounts of the Borrower with KeyBank, on the dates when the amount thereof shall become due and payable, with the amounts of the principal of and interest on the Loans and all fees, charges, expenses and other amounts owing to the Agent and/or the Lenders (including the Swing Loan Lender) 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.
All payments by the Borrower hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim, and free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law.  If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower or other applicable Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this §4.4) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
The Borrower and the Guarantors shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
The Borrower and the Guarantors shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this §4.4) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that the determinations in such statement are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

50

Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower or a Guarantor has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower and the Guarantors to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of §18.4 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this subsection.
As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or any Guarantor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this §4.4, the Borrower or such Guarantor shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.
(1)    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.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person:
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;
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:
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‐E (or W‐8BEN, 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‐E (or W‐8BEN, 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;
an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8ECI;

51

in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a "10 percent shareholder" of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a "controlled foreign corporation" described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a "U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate") and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable); or
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-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2 or Exhibit J-3, IRS Form W 9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
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
if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D), "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this §4.4 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this §4.4), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this §4.4 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund has not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This subsection shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it reasonably deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

52

Each party’s obligations under this §4.4 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
The obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders under this Agreement (and of the Revolving Credit Lenders to make payments to the Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit and to the Swing Loan Lender with respect to Swing Loans) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including, without limitation, the following circumstances:  (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any of the other Loan Documents; (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, the Guarantors or any of their 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 Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates and any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit; (vi) any irregularity in the transaction with respect to which any Letter of Credit is issued, including any fraud by the beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit; (vii) payment by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a sight draft, demand, certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, provided that such payment shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender as determined by a 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 or the Swing Loan Lender, as applicable, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods.
Computations.  All computations of interest on the Loans and of other fees to the extent applicable shall be based on a 360‐day year (or a 365 or 366 day year, as applicable, in the case of Base Rate Loans) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed.  Except as otherwise provided in the definition of the term “Interest Period” with respect to Floating 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.
Suspension of Floating Rate Loans.  In the event that, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period relating to any Floating Rate Loan, the Agent shall determine that adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining the Floating Rate (whether for a Loan denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) for such Interest Period or that deposits (whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) are not being offered to banks in the London or other applicable interbank market, or the Agent shall reasonably determine that the Floating Rate will not accurately and fairly reflect the cost of the Lenders making or maintaining Floating Rate Loans (whether for Loans denominated in Dollars or Alternative Currency) for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith give notice of such determination (which shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders absent manifest error) to the Borrower and the Lenders.  In such event (a) any Loan Request with respect to a Floating Rate Loan in the affected currency or currencies shall be automatically withdrawn and shall be deemed a request for a Base Rate Loan in such currency, and (b) each Floating Rate Loan in the affected currency or currencies will automatically, on the last day of 

53

the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, become a Base Rate Loan in such currency, and the obligations of the Lenders to make Floating Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies shall be suspended until the Agent determines that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, whereupon the Agent shall so notify the Borrower and the Lenders.
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 Lending Office shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make or maintain Floating Rate Loans (whether in Dollars or an Alternative Currency), or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of a Revolving Credit Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposit of, Dollars or Alternative Currency in the applicable offshore interbank market for such currency in the London or other applicable interbank market 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 Floating Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies shall forthwith be suspended and (b) the Floating Rate Loans then outstanding in the affected currency or currencies shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans in the applicable currency on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Floating 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.
Additional Interest.  If any Floating Rate Loan (whether in Dollars or the Alternative Currency) 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 Floating Rate Loan, or if repayment of the Loans (whether in Dollars or the Alternative Currency) has been accelerated as provided in §12.1, or if the Borrower fails to draw down on the first day of the applicable Interest Period any amount as to which the Borrower has elected a Floating Rate Loan (whether in Dollars or the Alternative Currency) or the Borrower makes any payment in a different currency than is required by this Agreement, the Borrower will pay to the Agent upon demand for the account of the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable 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.  Borrower understands, agrees and acknowledges the following:  (i) no Lender has any obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in an applicable currency or in connection with the use of a Floating Rate as a basis for calculating the rate of interest on a Floating Rate Loan; (ii) the Floating Rate is used merely as a reference in determining such rate; and (iii) Borrower has accepted the Floating Rate as a reasonable and fair basis for calculating such rate and any Breakage Costs.  Borrower further agrees to pay the Breakage Costs, if any, whether or not a Lender elects to purchase, sell and/or match funds.
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:
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 (whether in Dollars or the Alternative Currency) (other than for Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and Connection Income Taxes), or
impose on any Lender or Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans (whether in Dollars or the Alternative Currency) made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein, or
impose or increase or render applicable any special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge, reserve, assessment, liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law 

54

and which are not already reflected in any amounts payable by 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
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:
to increase the cost to any Lender of making, continuing, converting to, funding, issuing, renewing, extending or maintaining any of the Loans, the Letters of Credit or such Lender’s Commitment, or
to reduce the amount of principal, interest or other amount payable to any Lender or the Agent hereunder on account of such Lender’s Commitment or any of the Loans or the Letters of Credit, or
to require any Lender or the Agent to make any payment or to forego any interest or other sum payable hereunder, the amount of which payment or foregone interest or other sum is calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum receivable or deemed received by such Lender or the Agent from the Borrower hereunder,
then, and in each such case, the Borrower will, within fifteen (15) days of demand made by such Lender or (as the case may be) the Agent and receipt of the certificate described in Section 4.13 below 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.
Capital Adequacy.  If after the date hereof any Lender determines that (a) the adoption of or change in any Applicable Law regarding liquidity or capital ratios or requirements for banks or bank holding companies or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof, or (b) compliance by such Lender or its parent bank holding company with any guideline, request or directive of any such entity regarding capital adequacy or liquidity ratios or requirements (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on such Lender’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s commitment to make Loans or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such holding company’s then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity position) 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, within fifteen (15) days upon presentation by such Lender of a certificate described in Section 4.13 below 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 occurred or been adopted and gone into effect after the date hereof regardless of when adopted, enacted or issued.
Breakage Costs.  Borrower shall pay all Breakage Costs required to be paid by it pursuant to this Agreement and incurred from time to time by any Lender upon demand within fifteen (15) days from receipt of written notice from Agent, or such earlier date as may be required by this Agreement.
Default Interest.  Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under §12.1(a), (b), (h), (i) or (j) or upon the vote of the Required Lenders following the occurrence of any other 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 the Base Rate for the currency of such Loan plus the Applicable Margin for such Base Rate Loan (the “Default Rate”), until such amount 

55

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.
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.
Limitation on Interest.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, all agreements between or among the Borrower, Guarantors, the Lenders and the Agent, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of any of the Obligations or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received by the Lenders exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law.  If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to the Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to the Lenders shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under applicable law; and if from any circumstance the Lenders shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Obligations and to the payment of interest or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Obligations, such excess shall be refunded to the Borrower.  All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal of the Obligations (including the period of any renewal or extension thereof) so that the interest thereon for such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law.  This Section shall control all agreements between or among the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lenders and the Agent.
Certain Provisions Relating to Increased Costs.  
If a Lender gives notice of the existence of the circumstances set forth in §4.7 or any Lender requests compensation for any losses or costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any one or more of the provisions of §4.4 (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, then, upon request of 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 Borrower under the foregoing provisions, provided that such action would not be otherwise prejudicial to such Lender, including, without limitation, by designating another of such Lender’s offices, branches or affiliates; the Borrower agreeing to pay all reasonably incurred costs and expenses incurred by such Lender in connection with any such action.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and if any Lender has given notice of the existence of the circumstances set forth in §4.7 or has requested payment or compensation for any losses or costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any one or more of the provisions of §4.4 (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 following the request of 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, as applicable, 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 sixty (60) days of receipt of such notice, to elect to cause the Affected Lender to transfer its Commitment.  The Agent shall promptly notify the remaining Lenders that each of such Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire a portion of the Commitment, pro rata based upon their relevant Commitment Percentages, of the Affected Lender (or if any of such Lenders does not elect to purchase its pro rata share, then to such remaining Lenders in such proportion as approved by the Agent).  In the event that the Lenders do not elect to acquire all of the Affected Lender’s Commitment, then the Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, shall endeavor to obtain a new Lender to acquire such remaining Commitment, and the assignment to such Lender shall be subject to and in accordance with §18.1.  Upon any such purchase of the Commitment of the Affected Lender, the Affected Lender’s interest in the Obligations and its rights hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall terminate at the date of purchase, and the Affected Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest.  The purchase price for the Affected Lender’s Commitment shall equal any and all amounts outstanding and owed by Borrower to the Affected Lender, 

56

including principal, prepayment premium or fee, and all accrued and unpaid interest or fees (including the Dollar Equivalent of any Loans denominated in the Alternative Currency).
Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to §4.9 or §4.10 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to §4.9 or §4.10 for any increased costs or reductions on return incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the change giving rise to such increased costs or reduction and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that if any such change giving rise to such increased costs or reduction is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.  Neither the Agent nor a Lender, as the case may be, shall be entitled to submit a claim for compensation under §4.9 or §4.10 unless such Person shall deliver to Borrower a certificate that such Person has determined that the making of such claim is consistent with its general practices or policies in respect of similarly situated borrowers that are equity REITs with credit agreements entitling it to make such claims (it being agreed that such certification from Agent or any Lender shall be sufficient to make such a claim, and that neither the Agent nor a Lender shall be required to disclose any confidential or proprietary information in connection with such determination or the making of such claim).
UNSECURED OBLIGATIONS; GUARANTY.
Collateral.  The Lenders have agreed to make the Loans to the Borrower and issue Letters of Credit to the account of Borrower on an unsecured basis.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Obligations shall be guaranteed pursuant to the term of the Guaranty.
Additional Subsidiary Guarantors.
In the event that Borrower shall request that certain Real Estate of a Subsidiary of Borrower be included as an Unencumbered Property for purposes of calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value, Borrower shall as a condition thereto, in addition to the requirements of §7.22, cause each such Subsidiary (and any other Subsidiary of Borrower having an interest in such Subsidiary of Borrower) to execute and deliver to Agent a Joinder Agreement, and such Subsidiary (and any such other Subsidiary) shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.  In addition, in the event any Subsidiary or the Borrower shall constitute a Material Subsidiary within the meaning of clause (b) of the definition thereof, the Borrower shall cause such Subsidiary, as a condition to such Subsidiary’s becoming a guarantor or other obligor with respect to such other Unsecured Debt described therein, cause each such Subsidiary to execute and deliver to Agent a Joinder Agreement, and such Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.  Each such Subsidiary shall be specifically authorized, in accordance with its respective organizational documents and applicable law, to be a Guarantor hereunder.  Borrower shall further cause all representations, covenants and agreements in the Loan Documents with respect to Guarantors to be true and correct with respect to each such Subsidiary or other entity.  In connection with the delivery of such Joinder Agreement, Borrower shall deliver to the Agent such organizational agreements, resolutions, consents, opinions and other documents and instruments as the Agent may reasonably require.  Each Subsidiary of Borrower that owns Real Estate included as an Unencumbered Property (and each other Subsidiary of Borrower having an interest in such Subsidiary of Borrower) shall be organized under the laws of a State and shall have its principal place of business in a State, consistent with the requirements of §7.2.
The Borrower may request in writing that the Agent release, and the Agent shall release (subject to the terms hereof), a Subsidiary Guarantor from the Guaranty so long as:  (i) no Default or Event of Default shall then be in existence or would occur as a result of such release; (ii) the Agent shall have received such written request at least five (5) Business Days prior to the requested date of release (or such shorter period as the Agent may accept) together with an updated Compliance Certificate which gives effect to such proposed release; and (iii) Borrower shall deliver to Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to Agent that (A) the Borrower has disposed of or simultaneously with such release will dispose of its entire interest in such Subsidiary Guarantor or that all of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor have been or simultaneously with such release will be disposed of in compliance with the terms of this Agreement to a Person other than REIT or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, and the net cash proceeds from such disposition are being distributed to the Borrower in connection with such disposition; or (B) if such Subsidiary Guarantor previously directly or indirectly owned an asset included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value, all such assets have 

57

been removed from the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value in accordance with the terms of the Agreement (and such Subsidiary Guarantor is not otherwise required by the terms of this Agreement to be a Guarantor); or (C) such Subsidiary Guarantor does not directly or indirectly own an asset included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value and will not, upon giving effect to such requested release, be a guarantor of or otherwise liable with respect to any other Unsecured Debt of the REIT, Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries of the type described in clause (b) of the definition of Material Subsidiary which would require it to be a Guarantor.  Delivery by the Borrower to the Agent of any such request for a release shall constitute a representation by the Borrower that the matters set forth in the preceding sentence (both as of the date of the giving of such request and as of the date of the effectiveness of such request) are true and correct with respect to such request.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the foregoing release provisions shall not apply to the REIT, which may only be released upon the written approval of Agent and all of the Lenders.
Notwithstanding the terms of §5.2(a), from and after any date that Agent first receives written notice from REIT or Borrower that Borrower has first obtained an Investment Grade Rating, then (i) subject to the terms of this §5.2(c), Material Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a direct or indirect owner of an Unencumbered Property) shall no longer be required to be Guarantors under the Credit Agreement, and (ii) Agent shall promptly release the Material Subsidiaries from the Guaranty; provided however that notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) Agent shall not be obligated to release any Material Subsidiary from the Guaranty in the event that a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (B) no Material Subsidiary shall be released in the event that such Material Subsidiary constitutes a Material Subsidiary within the meaning of clause (b) of the definition thereof.  In the event that at any time after Borrower has an Investment Grade Rating, Borrower shall no longer have an Investment Grade Rating, Borrower and REIT shall within thirty (30) days (or such later date as agreed to by Agent) after such occurrence cause all Material Subsidiaries to execute the Guaranty in the form of the Guaranty as then in effect (or if the Guaranty is not in effect, then as last in effect, with such modifications thereto as may be reasonably required by Agent to describe the obligations to be guaranteed) and cause such Material Subsidiaries, REIT and Borrower to execute a Contribution Agreement in the form of the original Contribution Agreement, in each case with such conforming changes (i.e., references to dates of documents and parties) as Agent may reasonably require and shall further cause to be satisfied within such thirty (30) day period (or such longer period as agreed to by Agent) all of the provisions of §5.2(a) that would be applicable to the addition of a new Guarantor.  In no event shall the provisions of this §5.2(c) entitle REIT to be released from the Guaranty.  If at any time during which the Borrower has an Investment Grade Rating the provisions of clause (b) of the definition of Material Subsidiary shall be applicable to a Subsidiary of Borrower, the Borrower shall be required to cause such Subsidiary to become a Guarantor by executing a Guaranty in the form of the Guaranty as then in effect (or if the Guaranty is not in effect, then as last in effect, with such modifications thereto as may be reasonably required by Agent to describe the obligations to be guaranteed) and cause such Material Subsidiaries, REIT and Borrower to execute a Contribution Agreement in the form of the original Contribution Agreement, in each case with such conforming changes (i.e., references to dates of documents and parties) as Agent may reasonably require and comply with the provisions of §5.2(a) as a condition to such Subsidiary’s becoming a guarantor or other obligor with respect to such other Unsecured Debt regardless of whether Borrower has obtained an Investment Grade Rating.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the entities described in clause (a) of the definition of Material Subsidiary are not required to be a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to §5.2(c), then the Unencumbered Properties owned by such Persons shall still be considered Unencumbered Properties for the purposes of this Agreement (and considered in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value and Unencumbered Property Debt Yield) provided that the representations and warranties in this Agreement with respect to Unencumbered Property Subsidiaries continue to be true and correct in all material respects, and the Borrower and such Unencumbered Property Subsidiaries continue to comply with the provisions and covenants applicable to Unencumbered Property Subsidiaries (or such provisions and covenants shall be applicable to such Persons and shall be complied with, as applicable).

None of the Borrower, the Guarantors, their respective Subsidiaries nor to the best knowledge and belief of Borrower any operator of the Real Estate, nor any tenant or operations thereon, is in violation, or alleged violation, of any judgment, decree, order, law, license, rule or regulation pertaining to environmental matters, including without limitation, those arising under any Environmental Law, which violation (i) involves Real Estate (other than the Unencumbered Properties included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value) and has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) involves an Unencumbered Property included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value and has had or could reasonably be expected, when taken together with other matters covered by this §6.20 and §8.6, to result in liability, clean‐up, remediation, containment, correction or other costs to the Borrower or any Guarantor or Unencumbered Property Subsidiary individually or in the aggregate with other Unencumbered Properties in excess of $10,000,000.00 or could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the operation of or ability to use such property.

Part 300 Appendix B (1986); (ii) that any Hazardous Substance(s) which it has generated, transported or disposed of have been found at any site at which a federal, state, provincial or local agency or other third party has conducted or has ordered that Borrower, any

There are no existing or closed sanitary landfills, solid waste disposal sites, or hazardous waste treatment, storage or disposal facilities on or, to Borrower’s actual knowledge, affecting the Real Estate except where such existence (1) as to any Real Estate other than an Unencumbered Property included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value has not had or could not be reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (2) with respect to any Unencumbered Property included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value has had or

[Intentionally Omitted.]
Property.  All Real Estate of the Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries is structurally sound, in good condition and working order, subject to ordinary wear and tear and casualty and condemnation events, except for such portion of such Real Estate which is not occupied by any tenant and where such defects have not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Each of the Unencumbered Properties included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value, and the use and operation thereof, is in material compliance with all applicable federal, state and provincial law and governmental regulations and any local or municipal ordinances, orders or regulations, including without limitation, laws, regulations and ordinances relating to zoning, building codes, subdivision, fire protection, health, safety, handicapped access, historic preservation and protection, wetlands and tidelands.  There are no unpaid or outstanding real estate or other taxes or assessments on or against any of the Unencumbered Properties included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value which are payable by Borrower or any Guarantor (except only real estate or other taxes or assessments, that are not yet delinquent or are being protested as permitted by this Agreement).  There are no unpaid or outstanding real estate or other taxes or assessments on or against any other property of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries which are payable by any of such Persons in any material amount (except only real estate or other taxes or assessments, that are not yet delinquent or are being protested as permitted by this Agreement).  There are no pending, or to the knowledge of Borrower threatened or contemplated, eminent domain or expropriation proceedings against any of the Unencumbered Properties included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value, the effect of which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the access to, marketability, leases, use or operation of such Unencumbered Property.  There are no pending, or to the knowledge of the Borrower threatened or contemplated, Aboriginal right or Aboriginal title claims with respect to any of the Unencumbered Properties included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value.  None of the Unencumbered Properties included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value is, except as disclosed to the Agent in writing in accordance with §7.22(b), now damaged as a result of any fire, explosion, accident, flood or other casualty, and none of the other properties of Borrower, Guarantors or their respective subsidiaries is now damaged as a result of any fire, explosion, accident, floor or other casualty in any manner which individually or in the aggregate would have any Material Adverse Effect.  No person or entity has any right or option to acquire any 

64

Unencumbered Property included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value or any building thereon or any portion thereof or interest therein, except for certain tenants pursuant to the terms of their leases with Subsidiary Guarantors or Unencumbered Property Subsidiaries.
Brokers.  None of the Borrower, the Guarantors nor any of their respective Subsidiaries has engaged or otherwise dealt with any broker, finder or similar entity in connection with this Agreement or the Loans contemplated hereunder.
Other Debt.  No event described in §12.1(g) has occurred and is continuing.  Schedule 6.25 hereto sets forth all agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust, financing agreements or other material agreements binding upon the Borrower, the Guarantors or their respective properties and entered into by the Borrower or the Guarantors as of the date of this Agreement with respect to any Indebtedness of the Borrower or Guarantors in an amount greater than $10,000,000.00, and, to the extent requested by the Agent, the Borrower has provided the Agent with true, correct and complete copies thereof.
Solvency.  As of the Closing Date and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including all Loans made or to be made hereunder, neither Borrower nor any Guarantor nor any Unencumbered Property Subsidiary is insolvent on a balance sheet basis, such that the sum of such Person’s assets exceeds the sum of such Person’s liabilities, each of Borrower and each Guarantor is able to pay its debts as they become due, and each of Borrower and each Guarantor has sufficient capital to carry on its business.
No Bankruptcy Filing.  Neither Borrower, any Guarantor nor any Unencumbered Property Subsidiary is contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state, provincial, federal or foreign bankruptcy or Insolvency Laws (including corporate laws to the extent used to compromise debts) or the liquidation of its assets or property, and neither Borrower, any Guarantor nor any Unencumbered Property Subsidiary has any knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such proceeding or petition against it.
No Fraudulent Intent.  Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents nor the performance of any actions required hereunder or thereunder is being undertaken by Borrower, any Guarantor, any Unencumbered Property Subsidiary or any of their respective Subsidiaries with or as a result of any actual intent by any of such Persons to hinder, delay or defraud any entity to which any of such Persons is now or will hereafter become indebted.
Transaction in Best Interests of Borrower and Guarantors; Consideration.  The transaction evidenced by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents is in the best interests of Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries.  The direct and indirect benefits to inure to the Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute substantially more than “reasonably equivalent value” (as such term is used in §548 of the Bankruptcy Code) and “valuable consideration,” “fair value,” and “fair consideration,” (as such terms are used in any applicable state fraudulent conveyance law), in exchange for the benefits to be provided by the Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and but for the willingness of each Subsidiary Guarantor to be a guarantor of the Loan, the Borrower would be unable to obtain the financing contemplated hereunder which financing will enable the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to have available financing to conduct and expand their business.  Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors constitute a single integrated and common enterprise and that each receives a benefit from the availability of credit under this Agreement.
Contribution Agreement.  The Borrower and the Guarantors have executed and delivered the Contribution Agreement, and the Contribution Agreement constitutes the valid and legally binding obligations of such parties enforceable against them in accordance with the terms and provisions thereof, except as enforceability is limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights and except to the extent that availability of the remedy of specific performance or injunctive relief is subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.

Neither any Borrower, any Guarantor, any Unencumbered Property Subsidiary nor any Subsidiary, director or officer of a Borrower, Guarantor, Unencumbered Property Subsidiary or, to the knowledge of any Borrower, any Affiliate, agent or employee of a Borrower or any Guarantor, has engaged in any activity or conduct which would violate any applicable anti-bribery, anti-corruption or anti-money laundering laws or regulations in any applicable jurisdiction.
Partners and the REIT.  The REIT is the sole general partner of the Borrower and as of Closing Date owns a 84.54% partnership interest and as of the Closing Date such partnership interest is the REIT’s sole interest in the Borrower.

68

liability for errors or omissions in any notice, demand, communication, information or other material provided by or on behalf of Borrower that is distributed over or by any such Electronic System (“Communications”) except to the extent such distribution solely results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment.  No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by Agent or the Arranger in connection with the Communications or the Electronic System.  In no event shall the Agent, the Arranger or any of their directors, officers, employees, agents or attorneys have any liability to the Borrower or the Guarantors, any Lender or any other Person for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s, any Guarantors’, the Agent’s or any Arranger’s transmission of Communications through the Electronic System, and the Borrower and the Guarantors release Agent, the Arranger and the Lenders from any liability in connection therewith, except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment.

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 Arranger to treat such Information Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the REIT, its Subsidiaries, its Affiliates or their respective securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Information Materials constitute confidential information, they shall be treated as provided in §18.7); (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 Arranger 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.  Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Investor” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of any electronic dissemination system in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and Applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to Information Materials that are not made available through the “Public Investor” or similar designation portion of any electronic dissemination system and that may contain any material non-public information with respect to the REIT, its Subsidiaries, its Affiliates or their respective securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.

70

repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof in all cases in which the failure so to do would have a material adverse effect on the condition of any Unencumbered Property included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value or would cause a Material Adverse Effect.
Insurance.  The Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries (as applicable) will, at their expense, procure and maintain insurance covering the Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries (as applicable) and their respective properties in such amounts and against such risks and casualties as are customary for companies of similar size engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations.
Taxes; Liens.

The Borrower will, and will cause the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries to, permit the Agent and the Lenders, upon reasonable prior notice, to visit and inspect any of the properties of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries (subject to the rights of tenants under their leases), to examine the books of account of the Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries (and to make copies thereof and extracts therefrom) and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries 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 any such visit or inspection.  The Lenders shall use good faith efforts to coordinate such visits and inspections so as to minimize the interference with and disruption to the normal business operations of the Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries.
Compliance with Laws, Contracts, Licenses, and Permits.

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, the Guarantors or their respective Subsidiaries may fulfill any of its obligations hereunder, the Borrower, such Guarantor or such Subsidiary will promptly take or cause to be taken all reasonable steps necessary to obtain such authorization, consent, approval, permit or license and furnish the Agent and the Lenders with evidence thereof.

If such Real Estate is owned by an Unencumbered Property Subsidiary, or as permitted in §7.22(a)(i), Alshain Ventures LLC or Yak Ventures LLC, the only asset of such Subsidiary shall be the Eligible Real Estate included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value and related personal property, and, without limiting the ability of such Unencumbered Property Subsidiary (but specifically excluding Alshain Ventures LLC and Yak Ventures LLC) to guaranty Unsecured Debt otherwise permitted hereunder, such Unencumbered Property Subsidiary shall not be a borrower primary obligor or guarantor with respect to any other Indebtedness;
such Eligible Real Estate is managed by Borrower;
prior to inclusion of Real Estate as an Unencumbered Property included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value, Borrower shall have delivered to Agent a physical description of the Real Estate and current operating statements, an operating and capital expenditure budget for such Real Estate reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, and such other information as Agent may reasonably require to determine the value attributable to such Real Estate for the purposes of §9.1 and compliance with this §7.22;

not more than fifteen percent (15.0%) of the Unencumbered Asset Value shall be attributable to Eligible Real Estate located in Canada; provided that a failure to satisfy the requirements of this clause (x) shall not result in any such Eligible Real Estate not being included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value, but any Unencumbered Asset Value attributable thereto in excess of such limitation shall be excluded for the purposes of calculating Unencumbered Asset Value.
In the event that all or any material portion of any Eligible Real Estate included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value shall be materially damaged or taken by condemnation, then Borrower shall promptly notify the Agent thereof and such property may, at the reasonable determination of Agent, no longer be included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value unless and until (i) any damage to such real estate is repaired or restored, such real estate becomes fully operational (if such property was a Stabilized Property), and the Agent shall receive evidence satisfactory to the Agent of the value of such real estate following such repair or restoration (both at such time and prospectively), or (ii) Agent shall receive evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Agent that the value of such real estate, both at such time and prospectively (after giving consideration to such factors as Agent shall reasonably consider, including without limitation, the availability of insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, and the impact of such casualty or condemnation upon continued occupancy by tenants under their leases) shall not be materially adversely affected (in Agent’s good faith determination) by such damage or condemnation, provided that in the event of a material adverse effect on the value (in Agent’s good faith determination) where some but not all of the leases relating to such Eligible Real Estate may remain in effect after such casualty or condemnation, such property shall continue to be included in the Unencumbered Asset Value subject to Agent having reasonably approved an adjusted valuation of such Eligible Real Estate following receipt from Borrower of a proposed reduced valuation for such Eligible Real Estate (taking into account the reduced leasing of such Eligible Real Estate) together with such other information as Agent may reasonably request in order for Agent to evaluate and approve such proposed valuation for such Eligible Real Estate.
Upon any asset ceasing to qualify to be included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value, such asset shall no longer be included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value.  Within five (5) Business Days after any such disqualification, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a certificate reflecting such disqualification, together with the identity of the disqualified asset, a statement as to whether any Default or Event of Default arises as a result of such disqualification, and a calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value attributable to such asset.  Simultaneously with the delivery of the items required pursuant to this clause (c), the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a pro forma Compliance Certificate demonstrating, after giving effect to such removal or disqualification, compliance with the covenants contained in §9.1.
In addition, the Borrower may voluntarily remove any Unencumbered Properties from the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value by delivering to the Agent, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to date on which such removal is to be effected (or such shorter period as the Agent may approve), notice of such removal, together with 

74

a statement that no Default or Event of Default then exists or would, upon the occurrence of such event or with passage of time, result from such removal, and the identity of the Unencumbered Property being removed, and a calculation of the value attributable to such Unencumbered Property.  Simultaneously with the delivery of the items required pursuant above, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a pro forma Compliance Certificate demonstrating, after giving effect to such removal or disqualification, compliance with the covenants contained in §7.22 and §9.1.
In the event that any Subsidiary of the Borrower that is not a Guarantor or Unencumbered Property Subsidiary owns Real Estate which would otherwise qualify as an Unencumbered Property included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value and the Borrower desires for the same to become an Unencumbered Property included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value, then such property may become an Unencumbered Property included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value but only in the event that:

All representations in the Loan Documents herein of the Borrower and the Guarantors and their Subsidiaries shall be true and correct in all material respects with respect to such Subsidiary Guarantor;

The Borrower will not, and will not permit any Guarantor or their respective Subsidiaries, to enter into any arrangement, directly or indirectly, whereby Borrower, any Guarantor or any such Subsidiary shall sell or transfer any Real Estate owned by it in order that then or thereafter Borrower, any Guarantor or any such Subsidiary shall lease back such Real Estate without the prior written consent of Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
Compliance with Environmental Laws.  None of the Borrower or Guarantors will, nor will it permit any of their Subsidiaries or any other Person to, do any of the following: (a) use any of the Real Estate or any portion thereof as a facility for the handling, processing, storage or disposal of Hazardous Substances, except for quantities of Hazardous Substances used in the ordinary course of operating large-scale data centers and in material compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws, (b) cause or permit to be located on any of the Real Estate any underground tank or other underground storage receptacle for Hazardous Substances except in full compliance with Environmental Laws, (c) generate any Hazardous Substances on any of the Real Estate except in full compliance with Environmental Laws, (d) conduct any activity at any Real Estate or use any Real Estate in any manner that could reasonably be contemplated to cause a Release of Hazardous Substances on, upon or into the Real Estate or any surrounding properties or any threatened Release of Hazardous Substances could reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under CERCLA or any other Environmental Law, or (e) directly or indirectly transport or arrange for the transport of any Hazardous Substances (except in compliance with all Environmental Laws), except, in each case, (i) with respect to any Real Estate other than an Unencumbered Property included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value where any such use, generation, conduct or other activity has not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) with respect to any Unencumbered Property included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value where any such use, generation, conduct or other activity has not had and could not reasonably be expected, when taken with other matters covered by §6.20 and this §8.6, to result in liability, clean‐up, remediation, containment, correction or other costs to Borrower, any Guarantor or any Unencumbered Property Subsidiary individually or in the aggregate with other Unencumbered Properties in excess of $10,000,000.00 or materially adversely affect the operation of or ability to use such property; provided, that in the case of this clause (ii) such estimated liability or other costs shall be promptly reported to the Agent and deducted in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value, and Borrower shall diligently and continuously pursue corrective, remedial and other actions to bring such Unencumbered Property or Properties into compliance with Environmental Laws and to eliminate such liability.
The Borrower shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to:
in the event of any change in Environmental Laws governing the assessment, release or removal of Hazardous Substances, take all reasonable action (including, without limitation, the conducting of engineering tests at the sole expense of the Borrower) to confirm that no Hazardous Substances are or ever were Released or disposed of on the Unencumbered Properties included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value in violation of applicable Environmental Laws; and
if any Release or disposal of Hazardous Substances which any Person may be legally obligated to contain, correct or otherwise remediate or which may otherwise expose it to liability shall occur or shall have occurred on any Unencumbered Property included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value (including without limitation any such Release or disposal occurring prior to the acquisition or leasing of such Unencumbered Property by the Borrower or any such Subsidiary), the Borrower shall, after obtaining knowledge thereof, cause the prompt containment and removal of such Hazardous Substances and remediation of such Unencumbered Property in full compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws; provided, that each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be in compliance with Environmental Laws for the purpose of this clause (ii) so long as it or a responsible third party with sufficient financial resources is taking reasonable action to remediate or manage any event of noncompliance to the satisfaction of the Agent and no action shall have been commenced by any enforcement agency.  The Agent may engage its own environmental consultant to review the environmental assessments and the compliance with the covenants contained herein.

79

At any time after an Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder the Agent may at its election (and will at the request of the Required Lenders) obtain such environmental assessments of any or all of the Unencumbered Properties included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value prepared by an environmental consultant as may be necessary or advisable for the purpose of evaluating or confirming (i) whether any Hazardous Substances are present in the air, soil or water at or adjacent to any such Unencumbered Property and (ii) whether the use and operation of any such Unencumbered Property complies with all Environmental Laws to the extent required by the Loan Documents.  Additionally, at any time that the Agent or the Required Lenders shall have reasonable and objective grounds to believe that a Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Substances which any Person may be legally obligated to contain, correct or otherwise remediate or which otherwise may expose such Person to liability may have occurred, relating to any Unencumbered Property included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value, or that any of the Unencumbered Property included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value is not in compliance with Environmental Laws to the extent required by the Loan Documents, Borrower shall promptly upon the request of Agent obtain and deliver to Agent such environmental assessments of such Unencumbered Property prepared by an environmental consultant reasonably acceptable to the Agent as may be necessary or advisable for the purpose of evaluating or confirming (i) whether any Hazardous Substances are present in the air, soil or water at or adjacent to such Unencumbered Property and (ii) whether the use and operation of such Unencumbered Property comply with all Environmental Laws to the extent required by the Loan Documents.  Environmental assessments may include detailed visual inspections of such Unencumbered Property including, without limitation, any and all storage areas, storage tanks, drains, dry wells and leaching areas, and the taking of air, water and soil samples, as well as such other investigations or analyses as are reasonably necessary or appropriate for a complete determination of the compliance of such Unencumbered Property and the use and operation thereof with all applicable Environmental Laws.  All environmental assessments contemplated by this §8.6 shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower.
Distributions.
Borrower shall not pay any Distribution to the partners, members or other owners of Borrower, and REIT shall not pay any Distribution to its stockholders, members or other owners, if such Distribution is in excess of the amount which, when added to the amount of all other Distributions paid in the same calendar quarter and the preceding three (3) calendar quarters, would exceed ninety-five percent (95%) of such Person’s Adjusted Funds from Operations for such period; provided that the limitations contained in this §8.7(a) shall not preclude the Borrower and REIT from making Distributions in an amount equal to the amount that would need to be distributed to all of the Borrower’s partners to cause the REIT to receive the minimum distributions required to be distributed to its shareholders under the Code (A) to maintain the REIT Status of REIT, as evidenced by a certification of the principal financial or accounting officer of Borrower containing calculations in detail reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Agent, (B) to avoid the payment of taxes imposed under Code Section 857(b)(1) and 4981 of the Code, and (C) to avoid the a payment of taxes imposed under Section 857(b)(3) of the Code, provided that no Distribution under this clause (C) may be paid if a Default exists or would arise as a result of such Distribution.  The foregoing provisions of this §8.7(a) shall not limit the ability of (i) Borrower to retain stock, partnership interests or other equity awarded to employees of Borrower pursuant to equity compensation programs in the ordinary course of business in order to pay applicable withholding tax obligations of such employee, or (ii) Borrower to distribute funds to the REIT for the purpose of covering administration and operating expense of the REIT in an amount not to exceed $500,000.00 per calendar year.  In addition to the foregoing, provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and no Default or Event of Default would occur as a result thereof, Borrower may pay Distributions to REIT and the other partners, members or other owners of Borrower, which Distributions, in the case of Distributions received by the REIT, shall be used solely by REIT to repurchase Equity Interests of REIT, provided that the aggregate amount of (x) such Distributions to REIT and the other partners, members or other owners of Borrower shall not exceed $80,000,000.00 in any calendar year and (y) such repurchases by REIT with the proceeds of such Distributions received by it pursuant to this sentence shall not exceed $80,000,000.00 in any calendar year.  Borrower shall report the amount of such Distributions (and any related repurchases of the Equity Interests of REIT) in the next Compliance Certificate delivered hereunder following such Distributions.
In the event that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (i) Borrower shall make no Distributions, and REIT shall not pay any Distribution to its partners, stockholders, members or other owners, other than Distributions in an amount equal to the amount that would need to be distributed to all of the Borrower’s partners 

80

to cause the REIT to receive the minimum distributions required under the Code to maintain the REIT Status of REIT, as evidenced by a certification of the principal financial or accounting officer of Borrower containing calculations in detail reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Agent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time when a Change of Control has occurred, an Event of Default under §12.1(a), (b), (h), (i) or (j) shall have occurred and be continuing or the maturity of the Obligations has been accelerated, Borrower shall not, and shall not permit REIT to, make any Distributions whatsoever, directly or indirectly.

Borrower will not, and will not permit its Subsidiaries to, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any material asset to a Person that is not a Wholly Owned Subsidiary other than pursuant to a bona fide arm’s length transaction or, with respect to transactions subject to §8.13, as permitted by §8.13.  Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall sell all or substantially all of its assets, provided that a Subsidiary of Borrower may sell its assets otherwise in accordance with the Loan Documents.  Neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary thereof shall sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Real Estate in one transaction or a series of transactions to any Person (other than the Borrower or a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Borrower) unless no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such transaction (including, without limitation, pro forma compliance with the covenants in §7.22, §8.1, §8.3, §8.7, and §§9.1 through 9.5 after giving effect thereto).
Intentionally Omitted.
Restriction on Prepayment of Indebtedness.  Borrower will not, and will not permit its Subsidiaries to, (a) prepay, redeem, defease, purchase or otherwise retire the principal amount, in whole or in part, of any Indebtedness other than the Obligations after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default; provided, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (x) 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 proceeds described in the following clause (y); and (y) 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 or other disposition of the Real Estate securing such Indebtedness; and (b) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, modify any document evidencing any Indebtedness (other than the Obligations) to accelerate the maturity date of such Indebtedness.
[Intentionally Omitted.]
Derivatives Contracts.  Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall contract, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Derivatives Contracts except for interest rate swap, collar, cap or similar agreements providing interest rate protection and currency swaps and currency options made in the ordinary course of business and, to the extent constituting Indebtedness, permitted pursuant to §8.1.
Transactions with Affiliates.  Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries to, permit to exist or enter into, any transaction (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate (but not including any Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Borrower), except (i) transactions set forth on Schedule 6.15 attached hereto, (ii) transactions pursuant to the reasonable requirements of the business of such Person and upon fair and reasonable terms which are substantially 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 (which, in connection with any transaction with a non-Wholly Owned Subsidiary, may take into account any enhancement to the value of the equity owned by a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Borrower as a result of the transaction), and (iii) Distributions permitted pursuant to §8.7.
Equity Pledges.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) REIT will not create or incur or suffer to be created or incurred any Lien on any of its direct or indirect legal, equitable or beneficial interest in Borrower, including, without limitation, any Distributions or rights to Distributions on account thereof, and (b) neither Borrower nor any other Subsidiary will create or incur or suffer to be created or incurred any Lien on any of its direct or indirect legal, equitable and beneficial interest in any other Subsidiary Guarantor or Unencumbered Property Subsidiary, including, without limitation, any Distributions or right to receive Distributions on account thereof.

The proceeds of any such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan will be pledged to and held by Agent as security for any amounts that become payable first under the Letters of Credit and then to all other Revolving Credit Loans.

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) with respect to the payment of interest or other fees on the Loans in the event that the Borrower cures such Default within five (5) Business Days after the date such payment is due, provided that no such cure period shall apply to any payments due upon the maturity of the Notes, (ii) no Event of Default shall exist hereunder upon the occurrence of any failure to comply with §7.4(c) in the event that Borrower cures such Default within five (5) Business Days following the date on which the Compliance Certificate and the other information described in §7.4(c) is due, and (iii) no Event of Default shall exist hereunder upon the occurrence of any failure described in §12.1(e) in the event that the Borrower cures such Default within thirty (30) days following receipt of written notice of such default, provided that the provisions of this clause (ii) shall not pertain to any default consisting of a failure to comply with §7.14, §7.19, §7.22, §8.1, §8.2, §8.3, 

86

§8.4, §8.7, §8.8, §8.9 or §8.14 or to any Default excluded from any provision of cure of defaults contained in any other of the Loan Documents.
In the event that there shall occur any Default that affects only certain Unencumbered Property included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value, then the Borrower may elect to cure such Default (so long as no other Default or Event of Default would arise as a result) by electing to have Agent remove such Unencumbered Property from the calculation of Borrowing Base Availability and Unencumbered Asset Value and by reducing the outstanding amount of Unsecured Debt as necessary to comply with the covenants in §9.1, in which event such removal and reduction shall be completed within five (5) Business Days after the earlier of (i) Borrower obtaining knowledge of such Default and (ii) receipt of notice of such Default from the Agent or the Required Lenders.
Termination of Commitments.  If any one or more Events of Default specified in §12.1(h), §12.1(i) or §12.1(j) shall occur, then immediately and without any action on the part of the Agent or any Lender any unused portion of the credit hereunder shall terminate and the Lenders shall be relieved of all obligations to make Loans or issue Letters of Credit to the Borrower.  If any other Event of Default shall have occurred, the Agent may, and upon the election of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower terminate the obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans and issue Letters of Credit to the Borrower and the Agent may and, upon the election of the Required Term Loan Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower terminate any obligation to make Term Loans to the Borrower.  No termination under this §12.3 shall relieve the Borrower of their obligations to the Lenders arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
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 only the Agent may exercise any remedies arising by reason of a Default or Event of Default.  If Borrower or any Guarantor fails to perform any agreement or covenant contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents beyond any applicable period for notice and cure, Agent may itself perform, or cause to be performed, any agreement or covenant of such Person contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents which such Person shall fail to perform, and the out-of-pocket costs of such performance, together with any reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred (including attorneys’ fees incurred in any appeal) by Agent in connection therewith, shall be payable by Borrower upon demand and shall constitute a part of the Obligations and shall if not paid within five (5) days after demand bear interest at the Default Rate.  In the event that all or any portion of the Obligations is collected by or through an attorney-at-law, the Borrower shall pay all costs of collection including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees.
Distribution of Proceeds.  In the event that, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any monies are received in connection with the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or otherwise with respect to the realization upon any of the assets of Borrower or Guarantors, such monies shall be distributed for application as follows:
First, to the payment of, or (as the case may be) the reimbursement of the Agent for or in respect of, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses, disbursements and losses which shall have been paid, incurred or sustained by the Agent in connection with the collection of such monies by the Agent, for the exercise, protection or enforcement by the Agent of all or any of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in support of any provision of adequate indemnity to the Agent against any taxes or liens which by law shall have, or may have, priority over the rights of the Agent or the Lenders to such monies;

87

Second, to all other Obligations (including any interest, expenses or other obligations incurred after the commencement of a bankruptcy) in such order or preference as the Required Lenders shall determine; provided, that (i) Swing Loans shall be repaid first, (ii) distributions in respect of such other Obligations shall include, on a pari passu basis, any Agent’s fee payable pursuant to §4.2; (iii) in the event that any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, payments to such Lender shall be governed by §2.13; and (iv) except as otherwise provided in clause (iii), Obligations owing to the Lenders with respect to each type of Obligation such as interest, principal, fees and expenses (but excluding the Swing Loans) shall be made among the Lenders pro rata; and provided, further that the Required Lenders may in their discretion make proper allowance to take into account any Obligations not then due and payable; and
Third, the excess, if any, shall be returned to the Borrower or to such other Persons as are entitled thereto.
Collateral Account.
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.  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 and as otherwise provided in this Agreement.
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 §2.5 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.
If an Event of Default exists, the Required Revolving Credit Lenders may, in their discretion, at any time and from time to time, instruct the Agent to apply the funds in the Collateral Account to the Obligations relating to Letter of Credit Liabilities, Swing Loans and Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans in accordance with §12.5.
So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, and to the extent amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account pursuant to §2.13(e) exceed the pro rata share of any Letter of Credit Obligations and participations in Swing Loans of any Defaulting Lender after giving effect to §2.13(c), the Agent shall, from time to time, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower within five (5) Business Days after the Agent’s receipt of such request from the Borrower, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, such excess balances in the Collateral Account at such time from deposits pursuant to §2.13(e).
The Borrower shall pay to the Agent from time to time such reasonable fees as the Agent normally charges for similar services in connection with the Agent’s administration of the Collateral Account.  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.
Upon indefeasible payment in full of all Obligations (other than indemnification obligations which by their terms expressly survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents unless a claim is pending with respect thereto) and the termination of the obligations of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders to extend credit hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and the cancelation or expiration of all Letters of Credit, all funds held in the Collateral Account shall be promptly returned to the Borrower and the security interest granted to Agent pursuant to §12.6(a) shall automatically be released without any further action by any further party.  Agent will, at Borrower’s expense, promptly execute and deliver to Borrower such documents as Borrower may reasonably request to evidence the release of such security interest.

88

SETOFF.
Regardless of the adequacy of any collateral, if any, during the continuance of any Event of Default, any deposits (general or specific, time or demand, whatever currency, 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 any Guarantor and any securities or other property of the Borrower or any Guarantor in the possession of such Lender may, without notice to Borrower or any Guarantor (any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower and Guarantors) but with the prior written approval of Agent, be applied to or set off against the payment of Obligations and any and all other liabilities, direct, or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, of such Person to such Lender.  Each of the Lenders agrees with each other Lender that if such Lender shall receive from Borrower or any Guarantor, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of the right of setoff, or otherwise, and shall retain and apply to the payment of the Note or Notes held by such Lender (but excluding the Swing Loan Note) any amount in excess of its ratable portion of the payments received by all of the Lenders with respect to the Notes held by all of the Lenders, such Lender will make such disposition and arrangements with the other Lenders with respect to such excess, either by way of distribution, pro tanto assignment of claims, subrogation or otherwise as shall result in each Lender receiving in respect of the Notes held by it its proportionate payment as contemplated by this Agreement; provided that if all or any part of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such disposition and arrangements shall be rescinded and the amount restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.  In the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and (b) 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.
THE AGENT.
Authorization.  The Agent is authorized to take such action on behalf of each of the Lenders and to exercise all such powers as are hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents and any related documents delegated to the Agent, together with such powers as are reasonably incident thereto, provided that no duties or responsibilities not expressly assumed herein or therein shall be implied to have been assumed by the Agent.  The obligations of the Agent hereunder are primarily administrative in nature, and nothing contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to constitute the Agent as a trustee for any Lender or to create an agency or fiduciary relationship.  Agent shall act as the contractual representative of the Lenders hereunder, and notwithstanding the use of the term “Agent”, it is understood and agreed that Agent shall not have any fiduciary duties or responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and is acting as an independent contractor, the duties and responsibilities of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  The Borrower, Guarantors 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.
Employees and Agents.  The Agent may exercise its powers and execute its duties by or through employees or agents and shall be entitled to take, and to rely on, advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  The Agent may utilize the services of such Persons as the Agent may reasonably determine, and all reasonable fees and expenses of any such Persons shall be paid by the Borrower to the extent provided for in §15.
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.  The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any 

89

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”.
No Representations.  The Agent shall not be responsible for the execution or validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes, any of the other Loan Documents or any instrument at any time constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security for the Notes, or for the value of any such collateral security or for the validity, enforceability or collectability of any such amounts owing with respect to the Notes, or for any recitals or statements, warranties or representations made herein, or any agreement, instrument or certificate delivered in connection therewith or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate or instrument hereafter furnished to it by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein or in any of the other Loan Documents.  The Agent shall not be bound to ascertain whether any notice, consent, waiver or request delivered to it by the Borrower, the Guarantors or any holder of any of the Notes shall have been duly authorized or is true, accurate and complete.  The Agent has not made nor does it now make any representations or warranties, express or implied, nor does it assume any liability to the Lenders, with respect to the creditworthiness or financial condition of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or the value of any collateral or any other assets of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based upon such information and documents as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, based upon such information and documents as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Agent’s Special Counsel has only represented Agent and KeyBank in connection with the Loan Documents and the only attorney client relationship or duty of care is between Agent’s Special Counsel and Agent or KeyBank.  Each Lender has been independently represented by separate counsel on all matters regarding the Loan Documents.
Payments.
A payment by the Borrower or the Guarantors to the Agent hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents for the account of any Lender shall constitute a payment to such Lender.  The Agent agrees to distribute to each Lender not later than one Business Day 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 in like funds as received except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents.  In the event that the Agent fails to distribute such amounts within one Business Day as provided above, the Agent shall pay interest on such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, each payment by the Borrower hereunder shall be applied in accordance with §2.13(d).
If in the opinion of the Agent the distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder, under the Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve it in liability, it may refrain from making such distribution until its right to make such distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction.  If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court in the applicable currency of such recovery or judgment.
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.

90

Indemnity.  The Lenders ratably agree hereby to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent from and against any and all claims, actions and suits (whether groundless or otherwise), losses, damages, costs, expenses (including any expenses for which the Agent has not been reimbursed by the Borrower as required by §15), and liabilities of every nature and character arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Notes, or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated or evidenced hereby or thereby, or the Agent’s actions taken hereunder or thereunder, except to the extent that any of the same shall be directly caused by the Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the expiration of all applicable appeal periods.  The agreements in this §14.7 shall survive the payment of all amounts payable under the Loan Documents.
Agent as Lender.  In its individual capacity, KeyBank shall have the same obligations and the same rights, powers and privileges in respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it, and as the holder of any of the Notes as it would have were it not also the Agent.
Resignation.  The Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower.  Any such resignation may at Agent’s option also constitute Agent’s resignation as Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender.  Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders, subject to the terms of §18.1, shall have the right to appoint as a successor Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender 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.  If no successor Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, 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.  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 Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, and the retiring Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder as Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender.  After any retiring Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender.  If the resigning Agent shall also resign as the Issuing Lender, such successor Agent shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or shall make other arrangements satisfactory to the current Issuing Lender, in either case, to assume effectively the obligations of the current Agent with respect to such Letters of Credit.  Upon any change in the Agent under this Agreement, the resigning Agent shall execute such assignments of and amendments to the Loan Documents as may be necessary to substitute the successor Agent for the resigning Agent.
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 or the Guarantors within such period.  The Required Lenders may direct the Agent in writing as to the method and the extent 

91

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 after the expiration of all applicable appeal periods, provided that the Agent need not comply with any such direction to the extent that the Agent reasonably believes the Agent’s compliance with such direction to be unlawful in any applicable jurisdiction or commercially unreasonable under the UCC or PPSA as enacted in any applicable jurisdiction.
Bankruptcy.  In the event a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding is commenced by or against Borrower or any Guarantor with respect to the Obligations, the Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right to file and pursue a joint proof claim on behalf of all Lenders.  Any votes with respect to such claims or otherwise with respect to such proceedings shall be 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.
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, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan.  The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower or the Guarantors), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
Approvals.
If consent is required for some action under this Agreement, or except as otherwise provided herein an approval of the Required Lenders, the Required Revolving Credit Lenders, the Required U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders, the Required Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders or the Required Term Loan Lenders is required or permitted under this Agreement, each Lender agrees to give the Agent, within ten (10) days of receipt of the written request for action together with all reasonably requested information related thereto requested by such Lender (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 the Agent submits to the Lenders a written request for consent with respect to this Agreement and any Lender fails to provide Directions within ten (10) days after such Lender receives from the Agent such initial request for Directions together with all reasonably requested information related thereto, then Agent shall make a second request for approval, which approval shall include the following in all capital, bolded, block letters on the first page thereof:
“THE FOLLOWING REQUEST REQUIRES A RESPONSE WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS OF RECEIPT.  FAILURE TO DO SO WILL BE DEEMED AN APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST.”
If the Agent submits to such Lender a second written request to approve or disapprove such action, and a Lender fails to provide Directions within five (5) Business Days after the Lender receives from the Agent such second request, then 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.

92

In the event that any recommendation is not approved by the Required Lenders, the Required Revolving Credit Lenders, the Required U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders, the Required Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders or the Required Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, and a subsequent approval on the same subject matter is requested by Agent (a “Subsequent Approval Request”), then for the purposes of this paragraph each Lender shall be required to respond to a Subsequent Approval Request within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such request.
If the Agent submits to the Lenders a Subsequent Approval Request and any Lender fails to provide Directions within five (5) Business Days after such Lender receives from the Agent the Subsequent Approval Request, then Agent shall make a second request for approval, which approval shall include the following in all capital, bolded, block letters on the first page thereof:
“THE FOLLOWING REQUEST REQUIRES A RESPONSE WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS OF RECEIPT.  FAILURE TO DO SO WILL BE DEEMED AN APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST.”
If the Agent submits to such Lender a second written request to approve or disapprove the Subsequent Approval Request, and the Lender fails to approve or disapprove such Subsequent Approval Request within five (5) Business Days after the Lender receives from the Agent such second request, then 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.
Each request by Agent for a Direction shall include Agent’s recommended course of action or determination.  Notices given by Agent pursuant to this §14.13 may be given through the use of Intralinks, Syndtrak or another electronic information dissemination system.  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.  Notwithstanding anything in this §14.13 to the contrary, any matter requiring all Lenders’ or each affected Lender’s approval or consent shall not be deemed given by a Lender as a result of such Lender’s failure to respond to any approval or consent request within any applicable reply period.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this §14.13, the Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, the Required Revolving Credit Lenders, the Required U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders, the Required Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders or the Required Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, or the Required Lenders, the Required Revolving Credit Lenders, the Required U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders, the Required Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders or the Required Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, may at any time take any action that is permitted hereunder to be taken by the Required Lenders, the Required Revolving Credit Lenders, the Required U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders, the Required Alternative Currency/ Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders or the Required Term Loan Lenders, as applicable.
Borrower and Guarantors Not Beneficiary.  Except for the provisions of §14.9 relating to the appointment of a successor Agent, the provisions of this §14 are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, may not be enforced by the Borrower or the Guarantors, and except for the provisions of §14.9, may be modified or waived without the approval or consent of the Borrower or the Guarantors.
EXPENSES.
The Borrower agrees to pay, without duplication, (a) the reasonable and documented out‐of‐pocket 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, (c) all environmental reviews and the reasonable and documented out‐of‐pocket 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 hereunder, (d) the out-of-pocket fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of Agent incurred in connection with the syndication of the Loans, (e) all other reasonable and documented out‐of‐pocket fees, expenses and disbursements of the Agent incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation or interpretation of the Loan Documents and other instruments mentioned herein, the making of 

93

Amounts payable pursuant to this §15 (except in connection with the closing under this Agreement or any amendment or waiver thereof) shall be due and payable within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor; provided that in the event that a Default or Event of Default has occurred, is alleged to have occurred or is anticipated to occur, and otherwise in connection with any workout, a simple invoice of the amount due shall be sufficient, and provided further that in all events any such invoice may exclude any confidential or privileged information.  The covenants of this §15 shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the obligations of the Lenders hereunder.
INDEMNIFICATION.

No person indemnified hereunder shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, other than damages arising from such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally 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 under this §16 are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment in satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law.  The amounts payable pursuant to this §16 shall be due and payable within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor; provided that in the event that a Default or Event of Default has occurred, is alleged to have occurred or is anticipated to occur, and otherwise in connection with any workout, a simple invoice of the amount due shall be sufficient, and provided further that in all events any such invoice may exclude any confidential or privileged information.  The provisions of this §16 shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the obligations of the Lenders hereunder.

All statements contained in any certificate delivered to any Lender or the Agent at any time by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall constitute representations and warranties by such Person hereunder.
ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATION.
Conditions to Assignment by Lenders.  Except as provided herein, each Lender may assign to an Eligible Assignee or such other Person that may be approved by Agent, the Issuing Lender (as to Issuing Lender, with respect to assignments of a Revolving Credit Commitment only), and so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, Borrower (but not to any natural person) all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment Percentage and Commitment and the same portion of the Loans at the time owing to it and the Notes held by it) (which approval by Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Borrower, as applicable, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall be subject to the terms of clause (a) below); provided that (a) the Agent, the Issuing Lender (as to Issuing Lender, with respect to assignments of a Revolving Credit Commitment only) and, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, Borrower shall have each given its prior written consent to such assignment, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and if the Borrower does not respond to any such request for consent within ten (10) Business Days, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented, provided, if the Borrower reasonably requests additional information regarding the proposed assignee, the foregoing time period will be automatically extended until three (3) Business Days after the Borrower receives information regarding the proposed assignee responsive to the Borrower’s request (provided that such consent shall not be required for any assignment to another Lender, to a Related Fund, to a lender or an Affiliate of a Lender which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the assigning Lender or to a wholly-owned Subsidiary of such Lender), (b) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to its Commitment (and if such assignment includes an assignment of a Revolving Credit Commitment, such assignment shall also automatically include an equal pro rata assignment of such Lender's U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment and Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment), (c) the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for recording in the Register 

95

(as hereinafter defined) an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement in the form of Exhibit H annexed hereto, together with any Notes subject to such assignment, (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, Borrower, any Guarantor or REIT, or to a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender, (e) such assignee shall acquire an interest in the applicable Revolving Credit Loans or Term 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, Borrower, and (f) if such assignment is less than the assigning Lender’s entire applicable Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Loan Commitment, the assigning Lender shall retain an interest in the applicable Loans of not less than $5,000,000.00.  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 not otherwise free from influence or control by, the Borrower, any Guarantor and REIT and whether such assignee is a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender.  In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans in accordance with its applicable 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.
Register.  The Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent for Borrower, shall maintain on behalf of the Borrower a copy of each assignment delivered to it and a register or similar list (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment Percentages of and principal amount of the Loans owing to the Lenders from time to time.  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and the Lenders at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  Upon each such recordation, the assigning Lender agrees to pay to the Agent a registration fee in the sum of $5,000.00.
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.

96

Participations.  Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Lenders or other entities (but not to any natural person) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (a) any such sale or participation shall not affect the rights and duties of the selling Lender hereunder, (b) such participation shall not entitle such participant to any rights or privileges under this Agreement or any Loan Documents, including without limitation, rights granted to the Lenders under §4.8, §4.9 and §4.10, (c) such participation shall not entitle the participant to the right to approve waivers, amendments or modifications, (d) such participant shall have no direct rights against the Borrower, (e) such sale is effected in accordance with all Applicable Laws, and (f) such participant shall not be a Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with, or which is not otherwise free from influence or control by the Borrower, any Guarantor or REIT and shall not be a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender; provided, however, such Lender may agree with the participant that it will not, without the consent of the participant, agree to (i) increase, or extend the term or extend the time or waive any requirement for the reduction or termination of, such Lender’s Commitment (except for any increase in the Commitments effectuated pursuant to §2.11 or §18.1 or any extension as contemplated under §2.12 or any Extension, and any waiver of any Default or Event of Default and the forbearance with respect to such Default or Event of Default is not considered an increase in the Commitment of any Lender), (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on the Loans or portions thereof owing to such Lender (except for any extension as contemplated under §2.12 or any Extension), (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal, (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon; provided, however, that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to (A) amend the definition of “Default Rate”, to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate or to retract the imposition of interest at the Default Rate and (B) amend any financial covenant hereunder (or any defined term used therein) even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or Letter of Credit or to reduce any fee payable based on such financial covenant or (v) release Borrower or all or substantially all of the Guarantors (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 the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Documents) to any Person except 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.
Pledge by Lender.  Any Lender may at any time pledge all or any portion of its interest and rights under this Agreement (including all or any portion of its Note) to any of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks organized under §4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. §341, any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender or to such other Person as the Agent may approve to secure obligations of such Lenders.  No such pledge or the enforcement thereof shall release the pledgor Lender from its obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents.
No Assignment by Borrower.  The Borrower shall not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each of the Lenders.
Disclosure.  Borrower agrees to promptly cooperate with any Lender in connection with any proposed assignment or participation of all or any portion of its Commitment.  The Borrower agrees that in addition to disclosures made in accordance with standard banking practices any Lender may disclose information obtained by such Lender pursuant to this Agreement to assignees or participants and potential assignees or participants hereunder.  Each Lender agrees for itself that it shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with its customary procedures to hold confidential all non-public information obtained from Borrower that has been identified in writing as confidential by it, and shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with its customary procedures to not disclose such information to any other Person, it being understood and agreed that, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender may make (a) disclosures to its participants (provided such Persons are advised of the provisions of this §18.7), (b) disclosures to its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, accountants, appraisers, legal counsel and other professional advisors of such Lender or its Affiliates (provided 

97

that such Persons who are not employees of such Lender are advised of the provision of this §18.7), (c) disclosures customarily provided or reasonably required by any potential or actual bona fide assignee, transferee or participant or their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, accountants, appraisers, legal counsel and other professional advisors in connection with a potential or actual assignment or transfer by such Lender of any Loans or any participations therein (provided such Persons are advised of the provisions of this §18.7), (d) disclosures to bank regulatory authorities or self-regulatory bodies with jurisdiction over such Lender, or (e) disclosures required or requested by any other Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process; provided that, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law, rule, regulation or court order, each Lender shall notify Borrower of any request by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof prior to disclosure (other than any such request in connection with any examination of such Lender by such Government Authority) for disclosure of any such non‐public information prior to disclosure of such information.  In addition, each Lender may make disclosure of such information to any contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisors (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisors agree to be bound by the provisions of this §18.7).  In addition, the Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors and similar service providers to the lending industry; provided that such information is limited to deal terms and other information customarily found in publications produced by such Persons.  Non-public information shall not include any information which is or subsequently becomes publicly available other than as a result of a disclosure of such information by a Lender, or prior to the delivery to such Lender is within the possession of such Lender if such information is not known by such Lender to be subject to another confidentiality agreement with or other obligations of secrecy to the Borrower, or is disclosed with the prior approval of Borrower.  Nothing herein shall prohibit the disclosure of non-public information to the extent necessary to enforce the Loan Documents.
Amendments to Loan Documents.  Upon any such assignment or participation, the Borrower shall (and shall cause the Guarantors to), 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.
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.
Mandatory Assignment.  In the event Borrower requests that certain amendments, modifications or waivers be made to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents which request is approved by Agent but is not approved by one or more of the Lenders (any such non-consenting Lender shall hereafter be referred to as the “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, within thirty (30) days after Borrower’s receipt of notice of such disapproval by such Non-Consenting Lender, Borrower shall have the right as to such Non-Consenting Lender, to be exercised by delivery of written notice delivered to the Agent and the Non-Consenting Lender within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice, to elect to cause the Non-Consenting Lender to transfer its entire Commitment.  The Agent shall promptly (but in any event, no later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of such notice from Borrower) notify the remaining Lenders (each such notice, the “Lender Offer Notice”) that each of such Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire a portion of the Commitment, pro rata based upon their relevant Commitment Percentages, of the Non-Consenting Lender (or if any of such Lenders does not elect to purchase its pro rata share, then to such remaining Lenders in such proportion as approved by the Agent).  In the event that the Lenders do not elect to acquire all of the Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitment within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the Lender Offer Notice, then the Borrower may endeavor to find a new Lender or Lenders to acquire such remaining Commitment subject to and in accordance with §18.1, such Lender or Lenders to be subject to the approval of Agent and Issuing Lender, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.  Upon any such purchase of the Commitment of the Non-Consenting Lender, the Non-Consenting Lender’s interests in the Obligations and its rights hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall terminate at the date of purchase, and the Non‐Consenting Lender shall promptly execute and deliver any and all documents reasonably requested by Agent to surrender and transfer such interest, including, without limitation, an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and such Non-Consenting Lender’s original Notes.  Notwithstanding anything in this §18.10 to the contrary, any Lender or other Lender assignee acquiring some or all of the assigned Commitment of the Non-Consenting Lender must consent to the proposed amendment, modification or waiver.  The purchase price to be paid by the acquiring Lenders for the Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitment shall equal the principal owed to such Non-Consenting Lender, and the Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in addition thereto and as a condition to such sale any and all other amounts outstanding and owed by Borrower to the Non-Consenting Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan 

98

Documents, including all accrued and unpaid interest or fees which would be owed to such Non-Consenting Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents if the Loans were to be repaid in full on the date of such purchase of the Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitment.  No registration fee under §18.2 shall be required in connection with such assignment.

Each Notice shall be effective upon being personally delivered or upon being sent by overnight courier or upon being deposited in the United States Mail as aforesaid, or if transmitted by telecopy, is permitted, upon being sent and confirmation of receipt.

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

Borrower, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, also acknowledges that neither the Agent nor any Lender has any obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, or to furnish to Borrower, confidential information obtained from other companies.  Borrower, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, further acknowledges that one or more of the Agent and Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be a full service securities firm and may from time to time effect transactions, for its own or its Affiliates’ account or the account of customers, and hold positions in loans, securities or options on loans or securities of Borrower and its Affiliates.
CONSENTS, AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS, ETC..
Except 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, the Guarantors or the Unencumbered Property Subsidiaries 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:  (i) a reduction in the rate of interest on the Notes; provided, however, that (A) only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the definition of “Default Rate”, to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate or to retract the imposition of interest at the Default Rate, (B) only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend any financial covenant hereunder (or any defined term used therein) even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or Letter of Credit or to reduce any fee payable based on such financial covenant; and (C) in circumstances other than as described in the preceding clauses (A) and (B), (1) only the consent of the Term Loan Lenders shall be necessary to reduce the rate of interest, including the Applicable Margin, on the Term Loans and the Term Loan Notes and (2) only the consent of the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be necessary to reduce the rate of interest, including the Applicable Margin, on the Revolving Credit Loans and the Revolving Credit Notes; (ii) an increase in the amount of the Commitments (including the Total Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment) of the Lenders (except for any increase in the Commitments effectuated pursuant to §2.11 or §18.1, and any waiver of any Default or Event of Default and the forbearance with respect to such Default or Event of Default is not considered an increase of the Commitment of any Lender); (iii) a forgiveness, reduction or waiver of the principal of any unpaid Loan or any reimbursement obligation with respect to a Letter of Credit or any interest thereon or fee payable under the Loan Documents; provided, however, that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to (A) amend the definition of “Default Rate”, to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate or to retract the imposition of interest at the Default Rate and (B) amend any financial covenant hereunder (or any defined term used therein) even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or Letter of Credit or to reduce any fee payable based on such financial covenant; (iv) a change in the amount of any fee payable to a Lender hereunder; (v) the postponement of any date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on the Loan (except for any extension as contemplated under §2.12 or any Extension); (vi) an extension of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (except as provided in §2.12 or pursuant to an Extension) or the Term Loan Maturity Date (except pursuant to an Extension); (vii) a change in the manner of distribution of any payments to the Lenders or the Agent; 

102

(viii) the release of Borrower or all or substantially all of the Guarantors except as otherwise provided in this Agreement; (ix) an amendment of the definition of Required Lenders; (x) 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 other than based on its applicable Commitment Percentage; (xi) an amendment to this §27; (xii) 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; or (xiii) an extension of the expiration date of a Letter of Credit beyond the then effective Revolving Credit Maturity Date if a Revolving Credit Lender would have to acquire a participation in a funding of such Letter of Credit after the then effective Revolving Credit Maturity Date.  The provisions of §14 may not be amended without the written consent of the Agent.  Any provision of this agreement or the Loan Documents which requires the approval of all of the Revolving Credit Lenders or the Required Revolving Credit Lenders may not be amended or waived to require a lesser number of Revolving Credit Lenders to approve such action without the written consent of all of the Revolving Credit Lenders.  Any provision of this agreement or the Loan Documents which requires the approval of the Required U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders or the Required Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders may not be amended or waived to require a lesser number of U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders or Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable, to approve such action without the written consent of all of the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders or Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders, respectively.  Any provision of this Agreement or the Loan Documents which requires the approval of all of the Term Loan Lenders or the Required Term Loan Lenders may not be amended or waived to require a lesser number of Term Loan Lenders to approve such action without the written consent of all of the Term Loan Lenders.  There shall be no amendment, modification or waiver of any provision in the Loan Documents with respect to Swing Loans without the consent of the Swing Loan Lender, nor any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision in the Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit without the consent of the Issuing Lender.  Any fee letter (including without limitation the Agreement Regarding Fees) may be amended, or right or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed by the parties thereto.  There shall be no amendment, modification or waiver of the conditions to funding with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitment or the Term Loan Commitment without the written consent of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders or Required Term Loan Lenders, respectively, nor any amendment, modification or waiver that disproportionately affects the Revolving Credit Lenders or the Term Loan Lenders without the approval of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders or the Required Term Loan Lenders, respectively; provided that for the avoidance of doubt for so long as the Total Revolving Credit Commitment is not less than the Total Term Loan Commitment the waiver of an Event of Default otherwise done in accordance with the other provisions of this §27 shall not be deemed to be an amendment, modification or waiver of the conditions to funding with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitment or the Term Loan Commitment or an amendment, modification or waiver that disproportionately affects the Revolving Credit Lenders or Term Loan Lenders; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt for so long as the Total Revolving Credit Commitment is not less than the Total Term Loan Commitment any amendment or modification of any provision of any Loan Document (other than §11) in accordance with the other provisions of this §27 shall not constitute an amendment, modification or waiver of the conditions to funding with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitment or the Term Loan Commitment.  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 Guarantors shall entitle the Borrower or Guarantors to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.  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 disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including this §27, this Agreement may be amended by Borrower and Agent to provide for any Commitment Increase in the manner contemplated by §2.11, the extension of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date as provided in §2.12 and an Extension as provided in this §27, in each case, without any additional consents.
Further notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this §27, if the Agent and the Borrower have jointly identified an ambiguity, omission, mistake or defect in any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan 

103

Documents or an inconsistency between provisions of this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents, the Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision or provisions to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency so long as to do so would not adversely affect the interest of the Lenders.  Any such amendment shall become effective without any further or consent of any of other party to this Agreement.
(1) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Agent from time to time, request an extension (each, an “Extension”) of the maturity date of any Class of Loans and Commitments to the extended maturity date specified in such notice.  Such notice shall (A) set forth the amount of the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Term Loans that will be subject to the Extension (which shall be in a minimum amount reasonably acceptable to the Agent and the Borrower), (B) set forth the date on which such Extension is requested to become effective (which shall be not less than ten (10) Business Days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date of such Extension notice (or such longer or shorter periods as the Agent shall agree in its sole discretion)) and (C) identify the relevant Class of Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Term Loans to which such Extension relates.  Each Lender of the applicable Class shall be offered (an “Extension Offer”) an opportunity to participate in such Extension on a pro rata basis and on the same terms and conditions as each other Lender of such Class pursuant to procedures established by, or reasonably acceptable to, the Agent and the Borrower.  If the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Commitments or Term Loans in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Commitments or Term Loans, as applicable, subject to the Extension Offer as set forth in the Extension notice, then the Revolving Credit Commitments or Term Loans, as applicable, of Lenders of the applicable Class shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer.
The following shall be conditions precedent to the effectiveness of any Extension: (A) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to such Extension, (B) each of the representations and warranties made by or on behalf of the Borrower, Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries contained in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or in any document or instrument delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement shall be true in all material respects both as of the date as of which they were made and shall also be true in all material respects as of the effective date of such Extension, with the same effect as if made at and as of that time, except to the extent of changes resulting from transactions permitted by the Loan Documents (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), (C) the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender shall have consented to any Extension of the Revolving Credit Commitments, to the extent that such Extension provides for the issuance or extension of Letters of Credit or making of Swing Loans at any time during the extended period, (D) the terms of such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and Extended Term Loans shall comply with §27(c)(iii) and (E) the Revolving Credit Commitments and Term Loan Commitments of any nonparticipating Revolving Credit Lender and Term Loan Lender shall terminate and the Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans of such Lender shall be due and payable on the original Revolving Credit Maturity Date or Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable, or such other date specified by Section 12, and such Loans, together with all interest, fees and other amounts accrued or otherwise due and payable to such Lender shall have been paid on or before the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable, or such earlier date specified in Section 12.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Commitments or Loans of any Lender be extended pursuant to this Section §27(c) unless such Lender affirmatively accepts in writing the applicable Extension Offer, it being understood and agreed that a failure by a Lender to respond to any such Extension Offer shall be deemed to be a rejection by such Lender of such Extension Offer.
The terms of each Extension shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable extending Lenders and set forth in an Extension Amendment; provided that (A) the final maturity date of any Extended Revolving Credit Commitment or Extended Term Loan shall be no earlier than the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the Term Loan Maturity Date, respectively, (B)(1) there shall be no scheduled amortization of the loans or reductions of commitments under any Extended Commitments and (2) the average life to maturity of the Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining average life to maturity of the existing Term Loans, (C) the Extended Revolving Credit Loans and the Extended Term Loans will rank pari passu in right of payment and with respect to security with the existing Revolving Credit Loans and the existing Term Loans and the borrower and guarantors of the Extended 

104

Revolving Credit Commitments or Extended Term Loans, as applicable, shall be the same as the Borrower and Guarantors with respect to the existing Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, (D) the interest rate margin, rate floors, fees, original issue discount and premium applicable to any Extended Revolving Credit Commitment (and the Extended Revolving Credit Loans thereunder) and Extended Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable extending Lenders, (E)(1) the Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata or less than pro rata (but not greater than pro rata) basis in voluntary or mandatory prepayments with the other Term Loans and (2) borrowing and prepayment of Extended Revolving Credit Loans, or reductions of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, and participation in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans (to the extent applicable), shall be on a pro rata basis with the other Revolving Credit Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments (other than upon the maturity of the non-extended Revolving Credit Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments) and (F) the terms of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments or Extended Term Loans, as applicable, shall be substantially identical to the terms set forth herein (except as set forth in clauses (A) through (E) above).
In connection with any Extension, the Borrower, the Agent and each applicable extending Lender shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Extension Amendment and such other documentation as the Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Extension.  The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension.  Any Extension Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Agent and the Borrower, to implement the terms of any such Extension, including any amendments necessary to establish Extended Revolving Credit Commitments or Extended Term Loans as a new Class or tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments or Term Loans, as applicable, and such other technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new Class or tranche (including to preserve the pro rata treatment of the extended and non-extended Classes or tranches and to provide for the reallocation of the Revolving Credit Exposure upon the expiration or termination of the commitments under any Class or tranche), in each case on terms consistent with this section.
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.
TIME OF THE ESSENCE.
Time is of the essence with respect to each and every covenant, agreement and obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (provided that the foregoing shall not limit any grace, notice or cure provisions in favor of Borrower and Guarantors).
NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS.
THE LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.  THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.  ANY ADDITIONAL TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES ARE SET FORTH BELOW.
REPLACEMENT NOTES.
Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Borrower of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory to Borrower or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the applicable Note, Borrower will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note, identical in form and substance to the applicable 

105

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.
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, the Lenders, the Agent and their permitted successors and assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.  All conditions to the performance of the obligations of the Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement, including the obligation to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit, are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that the Agent and the Lenders will refuse to make Loans or issue Letters of Credit in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall, under any circumstances, be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any and all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by the Agent and the Lenders at any time if in their sole discretion they deem it desirable to do so.  In particular, the Agent and the Lenders make no representations and assume no obligations as to third parties concerning the quality of the construction by the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries of any development or the absence therefrom of defects.
PATRIOT ACT.
Each Lender and the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Borrower and Guarantors that, pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower and Guarantors, which information includes names and addresses and other information that will allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.
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 subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and
the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
CONSENT TO AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT; EFFECT OF AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT.  
Pursuant to §27 of the Existing Credit Agreement, KeyBank as Agent under the Existing Credit Agreement and each Lender hereby consents to the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement pursuant to the 

106

terms of this Agreement and the amendment and restatement of the Existing Guaranty pursuant to the terms of the Guaranty. On the Closing Date, the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety by this Agreement, and the Existing Credit Agreement shall thereafter be of no further force and effect and shall be deemed replaced and superseded in all respects by this Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that this Agreement does not constitute a novation or termination of the “Obligations” under the Existing Credit Agreement, which remain outstanding as of the Closing Date. On the Closing Date, the Existing Guaranty shall be amended and restated in its entirety by the Guaranty, and the Existing Guaranty shall thereafter be of no further force and effect and shall be deemed replaced and superseded in all respects by the Guaranty. KeyBank, as Agent under the Existing Credit Agreement, is hereby authorized and directed by the Lenders party hereto to execute and deliver the Guaranty (on behalf of the Lenders and as Agent under the Existing Credit Agreement).  All interest and fees accrued under the Existing Credit Agreement as of the date of this Agreement shall be due and payable in the amount determined pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement on the next payment date for such interest or fee set forth in this Agreement, provided that State Bank of India, Los Angeles Agency, which is a lender under the Existing Credit Agreement but not under this Agreement, shall be paid all such amounts in connection with the closing under this Agreement.
AUTOMATIC ALTERNATIVE CURRENCY CONVERSION.
If an Automatic Alternative Currency Conversion Trigger shall occur, the amount of all Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the Dollar Equivalent of such amounts, determined by the Agent on the basis of the Spot Rate determined on the Automatic Alternative Currency Conversion Date, and on and after such date all amounts accruing and owed to the Lenders in respect of such Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans shall accrue and be payable in Dollars at the rate otherwise applicable hereunder.
JUDGMENT CURRENCY.
For the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court if it is necessary to convert a sum due from the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document in one currency expressed to be payable herein (the “Specified Currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase the Specified Currency with such other currency at the Agent’s main Cleveland, Ohio office on the Business Day preceding that on which final, non-appealable judgment is given.  The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the Specified Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by any Lender (including the Agent), as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender (including the Agent), as the case may be, may in accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the Specified Currency with such other currency.  If the amount of the Specified Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender (including the Agent), as the case may be, in the Specified Currency, the Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender (including the Agent), as the case may be, against such loss, and to pay such additional amounts upon demand from Agent.  All of the Borrower's obligations under this §37 shall survive termination of this Agreement and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

EXHIBIT A-1
FORM OF REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE 
(U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment)
$______________    _____________, 201__
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (“Maker”), hereby promises to pay to ________________ __________________ (“Payee”), or order, in accordance with the terms of that certain First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of July 25, 2016, as from time to time in effect, among DuPont Fabros Technology, L.P., KeyBank National Association, for itself and as Agent, and such other Lenders, including Payee, as may be from time to time named therein (the “Credit Agreement”), to the extent not sooner paid, on or before the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the principal sum of _______________________ Dollars ($________), or if less, such amount as may be advanced by the Payee under the Credit Agreement as a U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan with daily interest from the date thereof, computed as provided in the Credit Agreement, on the principal amount hereof from time to time unpaid, at a rate per annum on each portion of the principal amount which shall at all times be equal to the rate of interest applicable to such portion in accordance with the Credit Agreement, and with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on overdue installments of interest at the rates provided in the Credit Agreement.  Interest shall be payable on the dates specified in the Credit Agreement, except that all accrued interest shall be paid at the stated or accelerated maturity hereof or upon the prepayment in full hereof.  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.
Payments hereunder are payable in the applicable currency required by the Credit Agreement and shall be made to the Agent for the Payee at 127 Public Square, Cleveland, Ohio 44114-1306, or at such other address as Agent may designate from time to time.
This Note is one of one or more Revolving Credit Notes evidencing borrowings of U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loans under and is entitled to the benefits and subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement.  The principal of this Note may be due and payable in whole or in part prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and is subject to mandatory prepayment in the amounts and under the circumstances set forth in the Credit Agreement, and may be prepaid in whole or from time to time in part, all as set forth in the Credit Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, all agreements between the undersigned Maker and 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 of the undersigned Maker and to the payment of interest or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Obligations of the undersigned Maker, such excess shall be refunded to the undersigned Maker.  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 of the undersigned Maker (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 paragraph shall control all agreements between the undersigned Maker and the Lenders and the Agent.
