	Eighth Amendment Effective Date:	September 5, 2017
	Scheduled Termination Date:	The latest date for the final scheduled payment (or, if there is only one scheduled payment, for the scheduled payment) of principal of any Reference Obligation at any time included in the Reference Portfolio.
	Termination Date:	The final Scheduled Settlement Date (as defined in the Master Agreement) with respect to all Transactions (other than (i) any Citibank Fixed Amount Payer Payment Date that occurs after the final Obligation Termination Date and (ii) any Counterparty Fourth Floating Rate Payer Payment Date).  The obligations of the parties to make payments required to be made hereunder shall survive the Termination Date.
	Obligation Termination Date:	
        (a) In relation to any Repaid Obligation,
        the related Repayment Date; and

        

        

 

    	Page 2 

     

    

 

	 	(b) In relation to any Terminated
Obligation, the related Termination Settlement Date.
	Reference Portfolio:	As of any date of determination, all Reference Obligations with respect to all Transactions outstanding on such date.
	Reference Obligation:	Each obligation listed on Annex I from time to time having a Reference Amount equal to the “Reference Amount” indicated on Annex I for such obligation (and, in the case of a Committed Obligation, having an Outstanding Principal Amount equal to the “Outstanding Principal Amount” indicated on Annex I for such Committed Obligation), in each case, subject to adjustment by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the terms of this Confirmation.
	 	
        Counterparty may, by notice to Citibank
        on any Business Day on or after the Trade Date (each, an “Obligation Trade Date”), designate that any obligation
        (each, a ”Reference Obligation”) shall become the subject of a Transaction hereunder. Any such notice shall
        specify the proposed Reference Obligation and the proposed Reference Amount, Reference Entity and Initial Price in relation to
        such Transaction.

         

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such
        designation by Counterparty will be effective unless:

         

        (a)          Citibank
        consents on or prior to the Obligation Trade Date to the relevant Reference Obligation becoming the subject of a Transaction hereunder
        (having the proposed Reference Amount and Initial Price in the notice of designation from Counterparty);

         

        (b)          on
        the Obligation Trade Date (i) the relevant Reference Obligation satisfies the Obligation Criteria set forth in Annex II
        and (ii) the Portfolio Criteria set forth in Annex II are satisfied (or, if any Portfolio Criterion is not satisfied
        immediately prior to such designation, then the extent of compliance with such Portfolio Criterion is improved); and

         

        (c)          if
the relevant Reference Obligation would be a Specified Reference Obligation, Counterparty gives notice of such fact to Citibank
in such notice of designation (provided that any failure to give such notice shall not affect the effectiveness of such designation).

        

 

    	Page 3 

     

    

 

	 	Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (a), Citibank may withhold its consent to any such designation based on any legal, accounting, tax or other similar issues that are adverse to Citibank in any material respect and that would or could reasonably be expected to arise as a result of the entry into such Transaction or any purchase by the Citibank Holder of such Reference Obligation as a hedge for such Transaction. In the event that Citibank determines not to hold, or cause to be held, all or any portion of any such Reference Obligation as a hedge for such Transaction on the Obligation Settlement Date for such Transaction, Citibank shall give prompt notice thereof to Counterparty.

                                                                                 

                                                                                The “Obligation Settlement Date”
        for a Transaction shall be the date following the Obligation Trade Date for such Transaction that is customary for settlement of
        the related Reference Obligation substantially in accordance with the then-current market practice in the principal market for
        the related Reference Obligation (as determined by the Calculation Agent).

                                                                                 

                                                                                On the Obligation Trade Date for a Transaction,
        the Reference Amount of such Transaction shall, for all purposes hereof (including the determination of the “Maximum Portfolio
        Notional Amount”) other than calculating Rate Payments, be increased by the “Reference Amount” specified in such
        notice from Counterparty. On the Obligation Settlement Date for a Transaction, the Reference Amount of such Transaction shall,
        solely for the purposes of calculating Rate Payments, be increased by the “Reference Amount” specified in such notice
        from Counterparty.

                                                                                 

                                                                                Once a Reference Obligation becomes the
        subject of a Transaction hereunder, Citibank shall promptly prepare and deliver to Counterparty a revised Annex I reflecting
        the Reference Portfolio as of the related Obligation Trade Date.

	 	If any payment of interest on a Reference
        Obligation that would otherwise be made during the period from and including the Obligation Trade Date to but excluding the Termination
        Trade Date is not made but is capitalized as additional principal (without default), then the amount of interest so capitalized
        as principal shall become a new Transaction hereunder (a “PIK Transaction”) having the same terms and conditions
        as the Transaction relating to the Reference Obligation in respect of which such interest is capitalized, except that (1) the
        Initial Price in relation to such PIK Transaction shall be zero, (2) the Obligation Trade Date and Obligation Settlement Date
        for such PIK Transaction shall be the date on which such interest is capitalized and (3) the Reference Amount of such PIK
        Transaction will be the amount of interest so capitalized as principal. Citibank shall give notice to Counterparty after a PIK
        Transaction becomes outstanding as provided above, which notice shall set forth the information in the foregoing clauses (2) and
        (3).

        the related Reference Obligation as of such date multiplied by the Initial Price in relation to such Reference Obligation;
        and

         

        (b) In relation to any Transaction
        with respect to a Terminated Obligation or Repaid Obligation, the amount of the reduction in the Reference Amount of the related
        Reference Obligation determined, in the case of a Terminated Obligation, pursuant to Clause 3 or, in the case of a Repaid
        Obligation, pursuant to Clause 5, in each case multiplied by the Initial Price in relation to the related Reference
        Obligation.

        In relation to any Reference Obligation
        that is a Committed Obligation (and to the related Transaction) as of any date of determination, the greater of (a) zero and
        (b) the sum of (i) the Outstanding Principal Amount of such Reference Obligation as of the Obligation Trade Date multiplied
        by the Initial Price in relation to such Reference Obligation minus (ii) the product of (x) the excess, if any, of the
        Commitment Amount of such Reference Obligation as of the Obligation Trade Date over the Outstanding Principal Amount of such Reference
        Obligation as of the Obligation Trade Date multiplied by (y) 100% minus the Initial Price in relation to such Reference Obligation
        plus (iii) any increase in the Outstanding Principal Amount of such Reference Obligation during the period from but excluding
        the Obligation Trade Date to and including such date of determination minus (iv) any decrease in the Outstanding Principal

3.          Reference
Obligation Removal; Accelerated Termination.

 

Reference Obligation Removal

 

(a)          A
Transaction may be terminated in whole by either party (or in part by Counterparty) in accordance with this Clause 3 by the
giving of notice (an “Accelerated Termination Notice”) to the other party (each such termination, an “Accelerated
Termination”).

 

		(i)	Counterparty shall be entitled to terminate any Transaction or any portion thereof by delivering
an Accelerated Termination Notice to Citibank that is given (i) no later than the proposed Termination Trade Date and (ii) no
more than 30 days, and no less than 10 days, prior to the proposed Termination Settlement Date; provided that, except in
the case of the termination of all Transactions in connection with the occurrence of the Scheduled Termination Date, (x) the
Portfolio Criteria set forth in Annex II would be satisfied on the proposed Termination Trade Date after giving effect to
such termination (or, if any Portfolio Criterion is not satisfied immediately prior to such termination, the extent of compliance
therewith would be maintained or improved after giving effect to such termination) and (y) after giving effect to such termination,
no Delivery Amount (as defined in the Credit Support Annex) would be required under the Credit Support Annex to be transferred
by Counterparty. The Accelerated Termination Notice shall specify the Reference Obligation that is the subject of such Accelerated
Termination, the amount of the Terminated Obligation, the proposed Termination Trade Date and the proposed Termination Settlement
Date.

 

		(ii)	Following the occurrence of a Credit Event (as determined by the Calculation Agent) with respect
to the related Reference Entity (including any guarantor or other obligor referred to in the definition thereof), Citibank will
have the right, but not the obligation, to request that Counterparty agree to increase the Independent Amount Percentage with respect
to the related Transaction to (i) 100% minus (ii) the Supplemental Independent Amount Percentage. If Counterparty does not
agree to such request within one Business Day after notice of such request from Citibank, then Citibank will have the right, but
not the obligation, to terminate the related Transaction by delivering an Accelerated Termination Notice to Counterparty no less
than 10 days prior to the proposed Termination Trade Date. The Accelerated Termination Notice shall specify the Reference Obligation
that is the subject of such Accelerated Termination, the amount of the Terminated Obligation, the proposed Termination Trade Date
and the proposed Termination Settlement Date.

 

Elective Termination by Citibank due
to Certain Events

 

(b)          If:

 

		(i)	any Reference Obligation (including any Exchange Consideration)
fails to satisfy the Obligation Criteria at any time, or

 

		(ii)	the Portfolio Criteria are not satisfied at any time,

 

then Citibank may notify Counterparty in
writing of such event. In the case of the foregoing clause (i), if such event continues for 30 days following the delivery of such
notice, then Citibank will have the right but not the obligation to terminate the related Transaction. In the case of the foregoing
clause (ii), if such event continues for 30 days following the delivery of such notice, then Citibank will have the right but not
the obligation to terminate each Transaction that is the subject of this Confirmation. Citibank may exercise this termination right
with respect to each Terminated Obligation by delivering an Accelerated Termination Notice to Counterparty that is given, as to
any Terminated Obligation, (1) on the proposed Termination Trade Date and (2) no less than 10 days prior to the proposed
Termination Settlement Date for the related Terminated Obligation. The Accelerated Termination Notice shall specify each Reference
Obligation that is the subject of such Accelerated Termination and, with respect to each such Reference Obligation, the amount
of the Terminated Obligation, the proposed Termination Trade Date and the proposed Termination Settlement Date.

 

    	Page 14 

     

    

 

Citibank Optional Termination Date

 

(c)          Citibank
will have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate each Transaction that is the subject of this Confirmation, effective
on any Business Day occurring on or after March 31, 2018 (such date, the “Citibank Optional Termination Date”).
Citibank can exercise this termination right by delivering an Accelerated Termination Notice to Counterparty that is given no less
than 15 days prior to the first proposed Termination Trade Date specified in the related Accelerated Termination Notice. The Accelerated
Termination Notice shall specify, as to each Reference Obligation, the amount of the Terminated Obligation, the proposed Termination
Trade Date and the proposed Termination Settlement Date. If Citibank does not exercise its right to terminate each Transaction
that is the subject of this Confirmation on or before the date occurring 30 days prior to the Citibank Optional Termination Date,
then Citibank will have the right, but not the obligation, to propose, by notice to Counterparty, to amend and restate one or more
material terms of the Transactions, including, without limitation, the Spread, the Independent Amount Percentage, the Supplemental
Independent Amount Percentage and the application of the Obligation Criteria and Portfolio Criteria to the Transactions. If Citibank
provides a notice to Counterparty proposing to amend and restate one or more material terms of the Transactions as provided above
and Counterparty does not agree in writing to such amended and restated terms within 10 Business Days after Citibank provides such
notice to Counterparty, each Transaction shall terminate, and the Termination Trade Date shall be such tenth Business Day. In the
event of any such termination, Citibank shall deliver an Accelerated Termination Notice to Counterparty, which shall specify, as
to each Reference Obligation, the amount of the Terminated Obligation, the proposed Termination Trade Date and the proposed Termination
Settlement Date. Even if a Termination Trade Date has been designated with respect to each Transaction pursuant to this Clause 3(c),
such designation will not prevent Citibank or Counterparty from subsequently designating an earlier Termination Trade Date in relation
to any Transaction to the extent Citibank or Counterparty, as the case may be, is entitled to designate such earlier Termination
Trade Date pursuant to this Confirmation. Notwithstanding anything in this Confirmation to the contrary:

 

		(i)	if Citibank elects to exercise its termination right under this Clause 3(c), then each reference
to the term “Scheduled Termination Date” in Clauses 4 (other than Clause 4(c)) and 5 and in the definitions
of “Ramp-Down Period” and “Termination Trade Date” will instead be a reference to the date 30 days after the
first proposed Termination Trade Date specified in such notice; and

 

		(ii)	whether or not Citibank elects to exercise its termination right under this Clause 3(c), and
in the case of any termination pursuant to any of the paragraphs of this Clause 3, each reference to the term “Scheduled
Termination Date” in the provisions of Clause 4(c) dealing with the payment of Counterparty Second Floating Amounts (and
the reference to the day preceding the first day of the Ramp-Down Period in the definition of “Counterparty Second Floating
Rate Payer Payment Date”) will be a reference to the earlier of (x) the Citibank Optional Termination Date and (y) the
first anniversary of the Termination Date.

 

    	Page 15 

     

    

 

Early Termination Date under Master
Agreement

 

(d)          If
there is effectively designated an Early Termination Date under the Master Agreement, then (i) each Transaction will be terminated
in its entirety (but without limiting Clause 4(c)), (ii) notwithstanding any contrary or otherwise inconsistent provision
of the Master Agreement, the provisions set forth in Section 6(e) of the Master Agreement shall not apply to any Transaction
(except that amounts that become due and payable on or prior to such Early Termination Date with respect to any Transaction as
provided in this Confirmation will constitute Unpaid Amounts) and (iii) the Termination Trade Date for each Transaction will
be the date specified by the Calculation Agent occurring on or promptly after such Early Termination Date; provided that,
if such Early Termination Date is designated by reason of an Event of Default as to which Citibank is the Defaulting Party, Counterparty
may specify the Termination Trade Date with respect to any Transaction as to which the Calculation Agent has not specified the
Termination Trade Date within 10 days after such Early Termination Date. The Calculation Agent shall give notice (an “Accelerated
Termination Notice”) to each party (such termination, an “Accelerated Termination”) on or
prior to such Early Termination Date, which Accelerated Termination Notice shall specify each Reference Obligation that is the
subject of such Accelerated Termination and, with respect to each such Reference Obligation, the amount of the Terminated Obligation,
the proposed Termination Trade Date and the proposed Termination Settlement Date. The amount, if any, payable in respect of such
Early Termination Date will be determined in accordance with Clause 4(b) of this Confirmation based upon the delivery of such
Accelerated Termination Notice.

 

Effect of Termination

 

(e)          With
respect to any Transaction terminated in whole pursuant to this Clause 3, (i) as of the relevant Termination Trade Date
the Reference Amount shall, for all purposes hereof (including the determination of the “Maximum Portfolio Notional Amount”)
other than calculating Rate Payments, be reduced to zero (and, in the case of a Committed Obligation, the Outstanding Principal
Amount thereof shall be reduced to zero) and (ii) as of the relevant Termination Settlement Date the Reference Amount, for
purposes of calculating Rate Payments, shall be reduced to zero (and, in the case of a Committed Obligation, the Outstanding Principal
Amount thereof shall be reduced to zero). With respect to any Transaction terminated in part pursuant to this Clause 3, (i) as
of the relevant Termination Trade Date the Reference Amount shall, for all purposes hereof (including the determination of the
“Maximum Portfolio Notional Amount”) other than calculating Rate Payments, be reduced by the amount of the reduction
of the Reference Amount specified in the Accelerated Termination Notice (and, in the case of a Committed Obligation, the Outstanding
Principal Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of the Outstanding Principal Amount in effect immediately prior
to such reduction multiplied by the amount of the reduction of the Reference Amount divided by the Reference Amount in effect immediately
prior to such reduction) and (ii) as of the relevant Termination Settlement Date the Reference Amount shall, for purposes
of calculating Rate Payments, be reduced by the amount of the reduction of the Reference Amount specified in the Accelerated Termination
Notice (and, in the case of a Committed Obligation, the Outstanding Principal Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the
product of the Outstanding Principal Amount in effect immediately prior to such reduction multiplied by the amount of the reduction
of the Reference Amount divided by the Reference Amount in effect immediately prior to such reduction). Following any Termination
Trade Date (other than the Termination Trade Date in respect of the Termination Date), Citibank shall promptly prepare and deliver
to Counterparty a revised Annex I.

 

4.          Final
Price Determination

 

Following the termination of any Transaction
in whole or in part pursuant to Clause 3 or by reason of the occurrence of the Scheduled Termination Date (other than in connection
with a Repayment), the Final Price for the relevant Terminated Obligation will be determined in accordance with this Clause 4.

 

    	Page 16 

     

    

 

Determination by Counterparty

 

(a)          In
order to determine the Final Price for any Terminated Obligation then held by or on behalf of Citibank as a hedge for the related
Transaction if such determination is being made as the result of a termination pursuant to Clause 3(a), Counterparty may arrange
for the sale of such Terminated Obligation by giving notice of such sale to Citibank; provided that Counterparty shall have
no right to arrange a sale of a Terminated Obligation pursuant to this Clause 4(a) if, as a result of such termination and
the termination of all other Transactions as to which the Total Return Payment Date has not yet occurred, after giving effect to
such termination, a Delivery Amount (as defined in the Credit Support Annex) would be required under the Credit Support Annex to
be transferred by Counterparty. Such notice must be given at least three Business Days prior to the related Termination Settlement
Date in the case of any Terminated Obligation and at least 10 days prior to the Scheduled Termination Date if all Transactions
are to be terminated in connection with the Scheduled Termination Date. Any sale (i) must be to an Approved Buyer or another
buyer approved in advance by Citibank, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (ii) must be scheduled
to occur no later than the date customary for settlement, substantially in accordance with the then-current market practice in
the principal market for such Terminated Obligation (as determined by the Calculation Agent), following the Termination Trade Date
and prior to the Scheduled Termination Date if all Transactions are to be terminated in connection with the Scheduled Termination
Date. If Counterparty so arranges any sale, the net cash proceeds received from the sale of any Terminated Obligation, net of the
related Costs of Assignment and adjusted by any Delay Compensation as provided in Clause 6(b), shall be the “Final
Price” for that Terminated Obligation.

 

Determination by Calculation Agent

 

(b)          If
the Final Price for any Terminated Obligation is not determined according to Clause 4(a), the Calculation Agent shall attempt
to obtain Firm Bids for such Terminated Obligation with respect to the applicable Termination Trade Date from two or more Dealers.
The Calculation Agent will give Counterparty notice of its intention to obtain Firm Bids pursuant to this Clause 4(b) (such
notice to be given telephonically and via electronic mail) not later than two hours prior to the bid submission deadline specified
below. By notice to Citibank not later than the bid submission deadline specified below, Counterparty may, but shall not be obligated
to, designate up to three Approved Buyers each of which shall provide a Firm Bid (and the Calculation Agent will seek a Firm Bid
from any such designee so designated by Counterparty on a timely basis). A “Firm Bid” shall be a good and
irrevocable bid for value, to purchase all or a portion of the applicable Terminated Obligation, expressed as a percentage of the
Reference Amount of such Terminated Obligation and exclusive of accrued interest, for scheduled settlement substantially in accordance
with the then-current market practice in the principal market for such Terminated Obligation, as determined by the Calculation
Agent, submitted as of 11 a.m. New York time or as soon as practicable thereafter. If there is more than one Terminated Obligation
at any time, then the Calculation Agent shall obtain Firm Bids solely with respect to each separate Terminated Obligation (but
not with respect to any group or groups of such Terminated Obligations). Citibank may, but is not obligated to, sell or cause the
sale of any portion of any Terminated Obligation to any Dealer that provides a Firm Bid.

 

If the Calculation Agent is unable to obtain
from Dealers at least one Firm Bid or combination of Firm Bids for all of the Reference Amount of any Terminated Obligation with
respect to the relevant Termination Trade Date, the Calculation Agent will attempt to obtain a Firm Bid or combination of Firm
Bids for all of the Reference Amount of such Terminated Obligation from two or more Dealers until the earlier of (i) the second
Business Day (inclusive) following such Termination Trade Date and (ii) the date a Firm Bid or combination of Firm Bids is
obtained for all of the Reference Amount of such Terminated Obligation.

 

    	Page 17 

     

    

 

If the Calculation Agent is able to obtain
at least one Firm Bid or combination of Firm Bids for all or any portion of the Reference Amount of any Terminated Obligation,
the Final Price for such Terminated Obligation or portion thereof shall be determined by reference to such Firm Bid or Firm Bids
pursuant to the last paragraph of this Clause 4(b). If no Firm Bids are obtained on or before such second Business Day for
all or a portion of the applicable Terminated Obligation, the Final Price shall be deemed to be zero with respect to each portion
of such Terminated Obligation for which no Firm Bid was obtained. The Calculation Agent will conduct the bid process in accordance
with the procedures set forth in this Clause 4(b) and otherwise in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner. Other
than in the case of a termination pursuant to Clause 3(b) or 3(d), Citibank and Counterparty will make commercially reasonable
efforts to accomplish the assignment to Counterparty (free of payment by Counterparty) of the related Terminated Obligation or
portion thereof held by or on behalf of Citibank as a hedge for the related Transaction for which the Final Price is deemed to
be zero (including as provided below); provided that Citibank shall not be liable for any losses related to any delay in
or failure of such assignment beyond its control. Citibank and Counterparty will make commercially reasonable efforts to accomplish
the assignment to Counterparty of any related Terminated Obligation held by or on behalf of Citibank as a hedge for any Transaction
as to which the Final Price is deemed to be zero (including as provided below); provided that Citibank shall not be liable
for any losses related to any delay in or failure of such assignment beyond its control.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein,

 

		(i)	the Calculation Agent shall be entitled to disregard any Firm Bid submitted by a Dealer if, in
the Calculation Agent’s commercially reasonable judgment, (x) such Dealer is ineligible to accept assignment or transfer of
the related Terminated Obligation or portion thereof, as applicable, substantially in accordance with the then-current market practice
in the principal market for the Terminated Obligation, as determined by the Calculation Agent, or (y) as a result of the terms
of any agreement or instrument governing the related Terminated Obligation or any order of a court of competent jurisdiction relating
to such Terminated Obligation, such Dealer is prohibited or restricted from obtaining any consent required for the assignment or
transfer of the related Terminated Obligation or portion thereof, as applicable, to it; and

 

		(ii)	if the Calculation Agent determines that the highest Firm Bid obtained in connection with any Termination
Trade Date is not bona fide as a result of (x) the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 5(a)(vii)
with respect to the bidder, (y) the inability, failure or refusal of the bidder to settle the purchase of the related Terminated
Obligation or portion thereof, as applicable, or otherwise settle transactions in the relevant market or perform its obligations
generally or (z) the Calculation Agent not having pre-approved trading lines with the bidder that would permit settlement
of the purchase of the related Terminated Obligation or portion thereof, as applicable, that Firm Bid shall be disregarded and
the next highest Firm Bid that is not disregarded shall be used to determine the Final Price.

 

If there is no such Firm Bid, then the
Calculation Agent shall designate a new Termination Trade Date; provided that the Calculation Agent shall designate a new
Termination Trade Date pursuant to this paragraph only once. If the highest Firm Bid for any portion of the related Terminated
Obligation determined in connection with the second Termination Trade Date is disregarded pursuant to this paragraph, the Calculation
Agent shall have no obligation to obtain further bids, and the applicable “Final Price” for the portion
which was so disregarded shall be deemed to be zero.

 

If Citibank transfers, or causes the transfer
of, all or any portion of the Terminated Obligation to the Dealer or Dealers providing the highest Firm Bid or highest combination
of Firm Bids for such Terminated Obligation (or portion thereof) or to such other party as provided above, the net cash proceeds
received from the sale of such Terminated Obligation or portion thereof (which sale shall be scheduled to settle substantially
in accordance with the then-current market practice in the principal market for the related Reference Obligation as determined
by the Calculation Agent), net of the related Costs of Assignment and adjusted by any Delay Compensation as provided in Clause 6(b),
shall be the “Final Price” for that Terminated Obligation (or the portion thereof that is sold).

 

    	Page 18 

     

    

 

If Citibank has determined not to hold,
or cause to be held, all or any portion of any Terminated Obligation as a hedge for the related Transaction or otherwise determines,
in its sole discretion, not to sell or cause the sale of any portion of any Terminated Obligation to a Dealer providing the highest
Firm Bid or combination of Firm Bids, the “Final Price” for such Terminated Obligation or portion thereof
shall be equal to the highest Firm Bid (or highest combination of Firm Bids) for such Terminated Obligation (or portion thereof)
multiplied by the Reference Amount of such Terminated Obligation (or the respective portions of the Reference Amount to which such
Firm Bids relate). The Calculation Agent may perform any of its duties under this Clause 4(b) through any Affiliate designated
by it, but no such designation shall relieve the Calculation Agent of its duties under this Clause 4(b).

 

Early Termination of Facility

 

(c)          For
the avoidance of doubt (and subject to paragraph (ii) of the last sentence of Clause 3(c)), if the Termination Date occurs
prior to the Citibank Optional Termination Date, each Counterparty Second Floating Amount shall continue to be payable by Counterparty
on each subsequent Second Floating Rate Payer Payment Date occurring on or prior to the Scheduled Termination Date; provided
that, if either party shall so specify in writing to the other party prior to any final Termination Trade Date, then on such final
Termination Trade Date (i) the obligation of Counterparty to continue to pay each Counterparty Second Floating Amount on each
subsequent Second Floating Rate Payer Payment Date occurring on or prior to the Scheduled Termination Date shall terminate and
be replaced by the obligation in the following clause and (ii) Counterparty shall pay to Citibank an amount equal to the present
value (as calculated by the Calculation Agent with discounting on a continuous basis) discounted to such final Termination Trade
Date of each Counterparty Second Floating Amount payable (without regard to the termination of such obligation under the foregoing
clause) on each subsequent Second Floating Rate Payer Payment Date occurring on or prior to the Scheduled Termination Date, at
a discount rate per annum equal to the Discount Rate. For this purpose, the “Discount Rate” means the zero
coupon swap rate (as determined by the Calculation Agent) implied by the fixed rate offered to be paid by Citibank under a fixed
for floating interest rate swap transaction with a remaining Term equal to the period from such final Termination Trade Date to
the Scheduled Termination Date in exchange for the receipt of payments indexed to USD-LIBOR-BBA.

 

5.          Repayment.

 

If all or a portion of the Reference Amount
of any Reference Obligation is repaid or otherwise reduced (in the case of a Committed Obligation, only if the Reference Amount
thereof is permanently reduced) (including, without limitation, through any exercise of any right of set-off, reduction, or counterclaim
that results in the satisfaction of the obligations of such Reference Entity to pay any principal owing in respect of such Reference
Obligation) on or prior to the Scheduled Termination Date (the amount of such repayment or other reduction, a “Repayment”;
the portion of the related Reference Obligation so repaid or otherwise reduced, a “Repaid Obligation”;
and the date of such Repayment, the “Repayment Date”):

 

		(a)	the Total Return Payment Date with respect to the Repaid Obligation will be the tenth Business
Day next succeeding the last day of the Monthly Period in which the Repayment Date occurred;

 

    	Page 19 

     

    

 

		(b)	as of the related Repayment Date, the Reference Amount of such Reference Obligation shall be decreased
by an amount equal to the principal amount of the Repaid Obligation; and

 

		(c)	the related Final Price in relation to the Repaid Obligation shall be (i) in the case of a
Committed Obligation, the portion of the Reference Amount that is permanently reduced (excluding any such reduction below the Outstanding
Principal Amount thereof) on such Repayment Date and (ii) in the case of a Term Obligation, the amount of principal and premium
in respect of principal paid by such Reference Entity on the Repaid Obligation to holders thereof (or the amount by which the Reference
Obligation was otherwise reduced) on such Repayment Date. Following any Repayment Date, Citibank shall promptly prepare and deliver
to Counterparty a revised Annex I showing the revised Reference Amount for the related Reference Obligation.

 

6.          Adjustments.

 

(a)          If
any Reference Obligation or portion thereof is irreversibly converted or exchanged into or for any securities, obligations or other
assets or property (“Exchange Consideration”), thereafter such Exchange Consideration will constitute such
Reference Obligation or portion thereof, and, unless Citibank shall otherwise agree in writing, (i) if such Exchange Consideration
fails to satisfy the Obligation Criteria, then Clause 3(b)(i) shall apply and (ii) if the Portfolio Criteria set forth
in Annex II would not be satisfied after giving effect to such exchange, then Clause 3(b)(ii) shall apply.

 

(b)          Delay
Compensation (as defined below) shall result in an adjustment (i) as contemplated by the definition of “Interest and
Fee Amount” in connection with the establishment by the Citibank Holder of a related hedge in respect of a Transaction, if
the actual settlement of the purchase of the related hedge occurs after the Obligation Settlement Date and (ii) of a Final
Price with respect to a Terminated Obligation in connection with the termination by the Citibank Holder of a related hedge, if
the actual settlement of the sale of the related hedge occurs after the Termination Settlement Date. “Delay Compensation”
shall accrue (x) in the case of clause (i) above, from and including the Obligation Settlement Date to but excluding
the actual settlement of the purchase effected to establish the related hedge (and, during such period, (A) the Counterparty
First Floating Amount shall be calculated by reference to the Spread and not the Floating Rate Option and (B) Interest and
Fee Amounts will be determined without regard to payments in respect of the interest rate index, but will be determined inclusive
of the applicable spread above such interest rate index, used in the Reference Obligation Credit Agreement to calculate interest
payments in respect of the related Reference Obligation and in effect during such period) and (y) in the case of clause (ii) above,
from and including the Termination Settlement Date to but excluding the actual settlement of the sale effected to terminate the
related hedge (and, during such period, (A) the Counterparty First Floating Amount shall be calculated by reference to the
Floating Rate Option and not the Spread and (B) Interest and Fee Amounts shall be reduced by interest accrued during such
period in excess of the interest rate index used in the Reference Obligation Credit Agreement to calculate interest payments in
respect of the related Reference Obligation and in effect during such period). In connection with any adjustment by reason of Delay
Compensation, (i) any initial Payment Date in this Confirmation determined by reference to the “Obligation Settlement
Date” shall be determined as if the Obligation Settlement Date were the actual settlement of the purchase of the related hedge
and (ii) any final Payment Date in this Confirmation determined by reference to the “Termination Settlement Date”
shall be determined as if the Termination Settlement Date were the actual settlement of the termination of the related hedge.

 

(c)          If
(i) Citibank elects to establish a hedge as a result of the addition or increase in the Reference Amount of any Reference
Obligation that is the subject of a Transaction and (ii) the Citibank Holder is unable after using commercially reasonable
efforts to effect the settlement of such hedge, then, by notice to Counterparty, Citibank may in its sole discretion, specify that
such addition or increase in the Reference Amount of such Reference Obligation shall be of no force or effect (retroactive to the
Obligation Trade Date or the Obligation Settlement Date, as the case may be).

7.          Representations,
Warranties and Agreements.

 

(a)          Each
party hereby agrees as follows, so long as either party has or may have any obligation under any Transaction.

 

		(i)	Non-Reliance. It is acting for its own account, and it has made its own independent decisions
to enter into such Transaction and as to whether such Transaction is appropriate or proper for it based upon its own judgment and
upon advice from such advisors as it has deemed necessary. It is not relying on any communication (written or oral) of the other
party as investment advice or as a recommendation to enter into such Transaction; it being understood that information and explanations
related to the terms and conditions of such Transaction shall not be considered investment advice or a recommendation to enter
into such Transaction. It has not received from the other party any assurance or guarantee as to the expected results of such Transaction;

 

		(ii)	Evaluation and Understanding. It is capable of evaluating and understanding (on its own
behalf or through independent professional advice), and understands and accepts, the terms, conditions and risks of such Transaction.
It is also capable of assuming, and assumes, the financial and other risks of such Transaction;

 

		(iii)	Status of Parties. The other party is not acting as a fiduciary or an advisor for it in
respect of such Transaction; and

 

		(iv)	Reliance on its Own Advisors. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in making
its decision to enter into, and thereafter to maintain, administer or terminate, such Transaction, it will not rely on any communication
from the other party as, and it has not received any representation or other communication from the other party constituting, legal,
accounting, business or tax advice, and it will consult its own legal, accounting, business and tax advisors concerning the consequences
of such Transaction.

 

(b)          Each
party acknowledges and agrees that, so long as either party has or may have any obligation under any Transaction:

 

		(i)	such Transaction does not create any direct or indirect obligation of any Reference Entity or any
direct or indirect participation in any Reference Obligation or any other obligation of any Reference Entity;

 

		(ii)	each party and its Affiliates may deal in any Reference Obligation and may accept deposits from,
make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of commercial or investment banking or other business
with any Reference Entity, any Affiliate of any Reference Entity, any other person or entity having obligations relating to any
Reference Entity and may act with respect to such business in the same manner as if such Transaction did not exist and may originate,
purchase, sell, hold or trade, and may exercise consensual or remedial rights in respect of, obligations, securities or other financial
instruments of, issued by or linked to any Reference Entity, regardless of whether any such action might have an adverse effect
on such Reference Entity, the value of the related Reference Obligation or the position of the other party to such Transaction
or otherwise;

 

    	Page 21 

     

    

 

		(iii)	except as provided in Clause 7(d)(iii), each party and its Affiliates and the Calculation
Agent may, whether by virtue of the types of relationships described herein or otherwise, at the date hereof or at any time hereafter,
be in possession of information regarding any Reference Entity or any Affiliate of any Reference Entity that is or may be material
in the context of such Transaction and that may or may not be publicly available or known to the other party. In addition, except
as provided in Clause 7(b)(vii), this Confirmation does not create any obligation on the part of such party and its Affiliates
to disclose to the other party any such relationship or information (whether or not confidential);

 

		(iv)	neither Citibank nor any of its Affiliates shall be under any obligation to hedge such Transaction
or to own or hold any Reference Obligation as a result of such Transaction, and Citibank and its Affiliates may establish, maintain,
modify, terminate or re-establish any hedge position or any methodology for hedging at any time without regard to Counterparty.
Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that it is not relying on any representation, warranty or statement by Citibank or any of
its Affiliates as to whether, at what times, in what manner or by what method Citibank or any of its Affiliates may engage in any
hedging activities;

 

		(v)	notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation or any other document, Citibank and Counterparty
(and each employee, representative, or other agent of Citibank or Counterparty) may each disclose to any and all persons, without
limitation of any kind, the U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including
opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to them relating to such U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure (as those
terms are used in Treasury Regulations under Sections 6011, 6111 and 6112 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the “Code”)), other than any information for which nondisclosure is reasonably necessary in order to comply
with applicable securities laws. To the extent not inconsistent with the previous sentence, Citibank and Counterparty will each
keep confidential (except as required by law) all information unless the other party has consented in writing to the disclosure
of such information;

 

		(vi)	if Citibank chooses to hold a Reference Obligation
as a result of any Transaction, Citibank shall hold such Reference Obligation directly or through an Affiliate (the “Citibank
Holder”). The Citibank Holder may deal with such Reference Obligation as if the related Transaction did not exist,
provided that, so long as the Citibank Holder remains the lender
of record with respect to such Reference Obligation, upon any occasion permitting the Citibank Holder to exercise any right in
relation to such Reference Obligation to give or withhold consent (an “Election”) to an action proposed
to be taken (or to be refrained from being taken), the Citibank Holder shall, insofar as permitted under (x) applicable laws,
rules and regulations and (y) each provision of any agreement or instrument evidencing or governing such Reference Obligation
(and, in the case of any participation interest, governing such participation interest), give its consent to the action proposed
to be taken (or to be refrained from being taken), unless (A) Counterparty, by timely notice to Citibank, requests (a “Counterparty
Election Request”) that the Citibank Holder withhold such consent and (B) the Citibank Holder, in its sole discretion,
elects to withhold such consent in accordance with the Counterparty Election Request. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (1) the
Citibank Holder shall have no obligation to respond to, or consult with Counterparty in relation to, a Counterparty Election Request
(failure to respond to a Counterparty Election Request being deemed a denial); (2) the Citibank Holder shall have no other
duties or obligations to Counterparty of any nature with respect to any Election or any Counterparty Election Request; (3) the
Citibank Holder shall not be liable to Counterparty or any of its Affiliates for the consequences of any consent given or withheld
by the Citibank Holder in connection with such Reference Obligation (whether or not pursuant to a Counterparty Election Request);
and (4) if the Citibank Holder elects in its sole discretion to withhold its consent in accordance with a Counterparty Election
Request, the Citibank Holder may subsequently determine to give such consent at any time without notice to Counterparty; and

case, to the extent actually received by the Citibank Holder from the Reference Entity or its agents under the related Reference
Obligation Credit Agreement: all notices of any borrowings, prepayments and interest rate settings, all amendments, consents, waivers
and other modifications (whether final or proposed) in relation to the terms of the Reference Obligation; and all notices given
by the Reference Entity to the lenders or their agent or by the lenders or their agent to the Reference Entity in relation to the
exercise of remedies.

 

(c)          Each

or traded on a “trading facility” within the meaning of Section 1a(51) of the CEA.

 

(d)          Counterparty
hereby represents to Citibank that:

 

		(i)	its financial condition is such that it has no need for liquidity with respect to its investment
in any Transaction and no need to dispose of any portion thereof to satisfy any existing or contemplated undertaking or indebtedness.
Its investments in and liabilities in respect of any Transaction, which it understands is not readily marketable, is not disproportionate
to its net worth, and it is able to bear any loss in connection with any Transaction, including the loss of its entire investment
in such Transaction;

 

		(ii)	it understands no obligations of Citibank to it hereunder will be entitled to the benefit of deposit
insurance and that such obligations will not be guaranteed by any Affiliate of Citibank or any governmental agency;

 

		(iii)	as of (x) the relevant Obligation Trade Date and (y) any date on which a sale is effected
pursuant to Clause 4(a) or on which the Calculation Agent solicits Firm Bids pursuant to Clause 4(b), neither Counterparty
nor any of its Affiliates, whether by virtue of the types of relationships described herein or otherwise, is on such date in possession
of information regarding any related Reference Entity or any Affiliate of such Reference Entity that is or may be material in the
context of such Transaction or the purchase or sale of any related Reference Obligation unless such information either (x) is
publicly available or (y) has been made available to each registered owner of such Reference Obligation on a basis that permits
such registered owner to disclose such information to any assignee of or participant (whether on a funded or unfunded basis) in,
or any prospective assignee of or participant (whether on a funded or unfunded basis) in, any rights or obligations under the related
Reference Obligation Credit Agreement;

 

    	Page 23 

     

    

 

		(iv)	Counterparty is a wholly owned subsidiary of a United States person, within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30)
of the Code, and has elected to be treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. Federal income tax purposes;

 

		(v)	it has delivered to Citibank on or prior to the Trade Date (and it will, prior to any expiration
of any such form previously so delivered, deliver to Citibank) a United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or applicable
successor form), properly completed and signed (which representation shall also be made for purposes of Section 3(f) of the
Master Agreement);

 

		(vi)	it could have received all payments on the Reference Obligation without U.S. Federal or foreign
withholding tax if it owned the Reference Obligation (which representation shall also be made for purposes of Section 3(f)
of the Master Agreement);

 

		(vii)	it is not, for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, a tax-exempt organization; and

 

		(viii)	it is not an Affiliate of the Reference Entity.

 

(e)          Except
for any disclosure authorized pursuant to Clause 7(b)(v), Counterparty agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions
of the related Reference Obligation Credit Agreement with respect to all information and documentation in relation to a Reference
Entity or a Reference Obligation delivered to Counterparty hereunder. Counterparty acknowledges that such information may include
material non-public information concerning the Reference Entity or its securities and agrees to use such information in accordance
with applicable law, including Federal and State securities laws.

 

(f)          Multiple
Transaction Payment Netting under Section 2(c) of the Master Agreement will apply to the Transactions to which this Confirmation
relates.

 

(g)          Notwithstanding
anything in the Master Agreement to the contrary, Citibank will not be required to pay any additional amount under Section 2(d)(i)
of the Master Agreement in respect of any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax in relation to any payment under
any Transaction that is determined by reference to interest or fees payable with respect to any Reference Obligation. If Citibank
is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, to make any deduction
or withholding for or on account of any Tax in relation to any payment under any Transaction that is determined by reference to
interest or fees payable with respect to any Reference Obligation and Citibank does not so deduct or withhold, then Section 2(d)(ii)
of the Master Agreement shall be applicable.

 

8.          Adjustments
Relating to Certain Unpaid or Rescinded Payments.

 

(a)          If
(i) Citibank makes any payment to Counterparty as provided under Clause 2 and the corresponding Interest and Fee Amount
is not paid (in whole or in part) when due or (ii) any Interest and Fee Amount in respect of a Reference Obligation is required
to be returned (in whole or in part) by a holder of such Reference Obligation (including, without limitation, the Citibank Holder)
to the applicable Reference Entity or paid to any other person or entity or is otherwise rescinded pursuant to any bankruptcy or
insolvency law or any other applicable law, then Counterparty will pay to Citibank, upon request by Citibank, such amount (or portion
thereof) so not paid or so required to be returned, paid or otherwise rescinded. If such returned, paid or otherwise rescinded
amount is subsequently paid, Citibank shall pay such amount (subject to Clause 8(c)) to Counterparty within ten Business Days
after the date of such subsequent payment.

 

    	Page 24 

     

    

 

(b)          If,
with respect to any Repaid Obligation, the corresponding payment of principal of the Repaid Obligation is required to be returned
(in whole or in part) by a holder thereof (including, without limitation, the Citibank Holder) to the applicable Reference Entity
or paid to any other person or entity or is otherwise rescinded pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency law or any other applicable
law, then (i) the parties hereto shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter
all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall continue as though no Repayment had occurred and (ii) without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, if either party has made a payment to the other party in respect of Capital Appreciation or Capital
Depreciation related to such Repayment as provided under Clause 2, then the party that received the payment in respect of
such Capital Appreciation or Capital Depreciation, as applicable, shall repay such amount (subject to Clause 8(c)) to the
other party. If such returned, paid or otherwise rescinded amount is subsequently paid by the related Reference Entity or any such
other person or entity, then the relevant party shall pay the amount of such Capital Appreciation or Capital Depreciation, as applicable,
within ten Business Days after the date of such subsequent payment.

 

(c)          Amounts
payable pursuant to this Clause 8 shall be subject to adjustment by the Calculation Agent in good faith and on a commercially
reasonable basis, as agreed by Citibank and Counterparty, in order to preserve for the parties the intended economic risks and
benefits of the relevant Transaction.

 

(d)          The
payment obligations of Citibank and Counterparty pursuant to this Clause 8 shall survive the termination of all Transactions.

 

9.          Credit
Support.

 

Notwithstanding anything in the Credit
Support Annex (the “Credit Support Annex”) to the Schedule to the Master Agreement to the contrary,
the following collateral terms shall apply to each Transaction to which this Confirmation relates (capitalized terms used in this
Clause 9 but not otherwise defined in this Confirmation have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Credit Support
Annex):

 

		(a)	With respect to each Transaction to which this Confirmation relates, a single “Independent
Amount” shall be applicable to Counterparty in an amount equal to the Notional Amount with respect to such Transaction (or,
in the case of any increase of the Notional Amount under any Transaction, the amount of such increase) multiplied by the
percentage set forth in Clause 9(b) under the caption “Independent Amount Percentage”.

 

		(b)	With respect to each Transaction to which this Confirmation relates, the “Independent Amount
Percentage” applicable to such Transaction will be equal to:

 

	Condition	Independent Amount Percentage
	(i) With respect to any Transaction not relating to a Specified Reference Obligation:	17.5%
	(ii) With respect to any Transaction relating to a Specified Reference Obligation:	Such percentage as Citibank shall specify on or prior to the Obligation Trade Date for such Transaction

 

		(c)	With respect to each Transaction to which this Confirmation relates, a single “Supplemental
Independent Amount” shall be applicable to Counterparty in an amount equal to the Notional Amount with respect to such Transaction
multiplied by 2.5% (the “Supplemental Independent Amount Percentage”).

 

    	Page 25 

     

    

 

		(d)	For purposes of calculating “Exposure” with respect to any Transaction to which this
Confirmation relates, (i) Citibank shall be the sole Valuation Agent and shall determine any Close-out Amount in relation
to such Transaction, (ii) such Close-out Amount will be determined by the Valuation Agent using its estimate of the amount
that would be paid to or by the Secured Party based on the application of Section 6(e)(ii)(1) of the Master Agreement, (iii) such
Close-out Amount may from time to time be determined by the Valuation Agent in its sole discretion and without notice to Counterparty
solely in respect of payments in respect of Capital Appreciation or Capital Depreciation that would have been required in respect
of a Transaction after the relevant Early Termination Date (provided that the Valuation Agent will not thereafter be precluded
from making such determination with respect to all payments and deliveries that would have been required after the relevant Early
Termination Date, regardless of the absence of notice thereof to Counterparty) and (iv) if Counterparty disputes the calculation
of Exposure with respect to such Transaction, the Valuation Agent will recalculate Exposure for such Transaction on the basis that
the market value of the related Reference Obligation is equal to its Current Price.

 

		(e)	Neither party shall have any rights under Paragraph 5 of the Credit Support Annex with respect
to the determination of “Exposure” in respect of any Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. The foregoing will
not limit the rights of Counterparty as provided in the definition of “Current Price” set forth in this Confirmation.

 

		(f)	Notwithstanding anything in this Confirmation to the contrary, a Secured Party’s Exposure with
respect to any Terminated Transaction will, during the period from and including the related Termination Trade Date to but excluding
the date on which the amount required to be paid on the related Total Return Payment Date is actually paid, be equal to the amount
of Capital Appreciation or Capital Depreciation, if any, that would be payable on such Total Return Payment Date to the Secured
Party (expressed as a positive number) or by the Secured Party (expressed as a negative number).

to any Reference Obligation that is a Term Obligation (and the related Transaction) as of any date of determination, the Reference

purposes of this Confirmation only, has the meaning given to such term in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

“Approved Buyer”
means (a) any entity listed in Annex III hereto (as such Annex may be amended by mutual written consent of the parties
hereto from time to time) so long as its long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations on the “trade date”

or public rating of such Reference Obligation, which shall then be the Moody’s Rating (and Counterparty may deem the Moody’s Rating
of such Reference Obligation to be “B3” pending receipt of such shadow rating or public rating, as the case may be);
provided that (x) a Reference Obligation will not be included in the 5% limit of the Portfolio Target Amount if Counterparty
has assigned a rating to such Reference Obligation in accordance with clause (B) below and (y) upon receipt of a shadow rating
or public rating, as the case may be, such Reference Obligation will not be included in the 5% limit of the Portfolio Target Amount;

to which such obligation is being compared (the “Senior Obligation”), a contractual, trust or similar arrangement
(without regard to the existence of preferred creditors arising by operation of law or to collateral, credit support, lien or other
credit enhancement arrangements or provisions regarding the application of proceeds of any of the foregoing) providing that (i) upon
the liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or winding up of the obligor, claims of the holders of the Senior Obligation will
be satisfied prior to the claims of the holders of the Subordinated Obligation or (ii) the holders of the Subordinated Obligation

WHEREAS, the Company and the Parent Guarantor executed that certain Note Purchase Agreement dated July 26, 2016 (the “Original Note Agreement”) and now desires to enter into this Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement to provide for certain changes to the terms of the Original Note Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1.         AMENDED AND RESTATED AUTHORIZATION OF NOTES.

(a)     The Original Note Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits thereto) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety and is superseded by this Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement as herein provided. As used herein, the term “this Agreement” and references thereto shall mean this Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement as it may from time to time hereafter be amended or supplemented. Certain capitalized and other terms used  in  this  Agreement  are  defined  in  Schedule B;  and  references  to  a  “Schedule”  or  an “Exhibit” are, unless otherwise specified, references to a Schedule or an Exhibit attached to this Agreement.

(b)     The Company will authorize the issue and sale of 200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 3.95% Senior Notes due September 22, 2026 (the “Notes”).  The Notes shall be substantially in the form set out in Schedule 1.  Certain capitalized and other terms used in this Agreement  are  defined  in  Schedule A  and,  for  purposes  of  this  Agreement,  the  rules  of construction set forth in Section 22.4 shall govern.

SECTION 2.         SALE AND PURCHASE OF NOTES.

Section 2.1.     Purchase and Sale of Notes.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company will issue and sell to each Purchaser and each Purchaser will purchase from the Company, at the Closing provided for in Section 3, Notes in the principal amount specified opposite such Purchaser’s name in the Purchaser Schedule at the purchase price of 100% of the principal amount thereof.  The Purchasers’ obligations hereunder are several and not joint obligations and no Purchaser shall have any liability to any Person for the performance or non-performance of any obligation by any other Purchaser hereunder.

Section 2.2.     Guaranty.  The payment by the Company of all amounts due with respect to the Notes and the performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement will be absolutely and unconditionally guaranteed by the Parent Guarantor and Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to the guaranty agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.2 attached hereto and made a part hereof (as the same may be amended, modified, extended or renewed, the “Guaranty”).

Section 5.1.     Organization; Power  and  Authority.    Each  Obligor is  an  entity  duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, except as noted in Schedule 5.4, and is duly qualified as a foreign entity and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Each Obligor has the legal power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease, to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact, to execute and deliver this Agreement or the Guaranty, and the Notes, as applicable, and to perform the provisions hereof and thereof.

Section 5.2.     Authorization, Etc.   This Agreement, the Guaranty and the Notes have been duly authorized by all necessary legal action on the part of the Obligors party thereto, and this Agreement and the Guaranty constitute, and upon execution and delivery thereof each Note will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Obligor party thereto enforceable against the Obligor party thereto in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (a) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (b) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

Section 5.3.     Disclosure.  This Agreement, the financial statements listed in Schedule 5.5 and the documents, certificates or other writings delivered to the Purchasers by or on behalf of the Company and the Parent Guarantor prior to June 3, 2016 in connection with the transactions contemplated  hereby  and  identified  in  Schedule 5.3  (this  Agreement  and  such  documents, certificates or other writings and such financial statements delivered to each Purchaser being referred to, collectively, as the “Disclosure Documents”), taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made. Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Documents, since December 31, 2015, there has been no change in the financial condition, operations, business, properties or prospects of the Obligors or their respective Subsidiaries except changes that could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c)     Each  Subsidiary  is  a  corporation  or  other  legal  entity  duly  organized,  validly existing  and,  where  applicable,  in  good  standing  under  the  laws  of  its  jurisdiction  of organization, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other legal entity and, where applicable, is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each such Subsidiary has the corporate or other power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease and to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact.

(d)     No Subsidiary is subject to any legal, regulatory, contractual or other restriction (other  than  the  agreements  listed  on  Schedule 5.4  and  customary  limitations  imposed  by corporate law or similar statutes) restricting the ability of such Subsidiary to pay dividends out of profits  or  make  any  other  similar  distributions  of  profits  to  the  Company  or  any  of  its Subsidiaries that owns outstanding shares of capital stock or similar equity interests of such Subsidiary.

The Parent Guarantor, the Company and their Subsidiaries do not have any Material liabilities that are not disclosed in the Disclosure Documents.

Section 5.6.     Compliance with Laws, Other Instruments, Etc.  The execution, delivery and performance by the Obligors of this Agreement, the Guaranty and the Notes, to the extent that they are a party thereto, will not (a) contravene, result in any breach of, or constitute a

-6-

default under, or result in the creation of any Lien in respect of any property of any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan, purchase or credit agreement,  lease,  corporate  charter,  regulations  or  by-laws,  partnership  agreement,  limited liability company agreement, shareholders agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or by which any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties may be bound or affected, (b) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree, or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable to any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries  or  (c) violate  any  provision  of  any  statute  or  other  rule  or  regulation  of  any Governmental Authority applicable to any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries.

Section 5.7.     Governmental    Authorizations,    Etc.   No    consent,    approval    or authorization  of,  or  registration,  filing  or  declaration  with,  any  Governmental  Authority  is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Obligors of this Agreement, the Guarantor or the Notes, as applicable.

Section 5.8.     Litigation; Observance of Agreements, Statutes and Orders.  (a) There are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings pending or, to the best knowledge of the Parent Guarantor or the Company, threatened against or affecting any Obligor or any of their Subsidiaries or any property of the Obligors or any of their Subsidiaries in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any Governmental Authority that could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b)     Neither the Parent Guarantor nor any of its Subsidiaries is (i) in default under any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound, (ii) in violation of any order, judgment, decree or ruling of any court, any arbitrator of any kind or any Governmental Authority  or  (iii) in  violation  of  any  applicable  law,  ordinance,  rule  or  regulation  of  any Governmental Authority (including Environmental Laws, the USA PATRIOT Act or any of the other laws and regulations that are referred to in Section 5.16), which default or violation could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.9.     Taxes.   Each Obligor and their respective Subsidiaries have filed all tax returns that are required to have been filed in any jurisdiction, and have paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes and assessments levied upon them or their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent such taxes and assessments have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent, except for any taxes and assessments (i) the amount of which, individually or in the aggregate, is not Material or (ii) the amount, applicability or validity of which is  currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which the Company or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, has established adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP.  Neither the Parent Guarantor nor the Company knows of any basis for any other tax or assessment that could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Parent Guarantor, the Company and their respective Subsidiaries in respect of U.S. federal, state or other taxes for all fiscal periods are adequate.  The U.S. federal income  tax  liabilities  of  the  Obligors  and  their  respective  Subsidiaries  have  been  finally 

-7-

determined (whether by reason of completed audits or the statute of limitations having run) for all fiscal years up to and including the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

Section 5.10.     Title to Property; Leases.  The Obligors and their respective Subsidiaries have good and sufficient title to their respective properties that individually or in the aggregate are Material, including all such properties reflected in the most recent audited balance sheet referred to in Section 5.5 or purported to have been acquired by the Obligors or any Subsidiary after such date (except as sold or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business), in each case free and clear of Liens prohibited by this Agreement.  All leases that individually or in the aggregate are Material are valid and subsisting and are in full force and effect in all material respects.

Section 5.11.     Licenses, Permits, Etc.  (a) The Obligors and their respective Subsidiaries own or possess all licenses, permits, franchises, authorizations, patents, copyrights, proprietary software, service marks, trademarks and trade names, or rights thereto, that individually or in the aggregate are Material, without known conflict with the rights of others.

(b)     To the best knowledge of the Parent Guarantor and the Company, no product or service of the Obligors or any of their respective Subsidiaries infringes in any material respect any  license,  permit,  franchise,  authorization,  patent,  copyright,  proprietary  software,  service mark, trademark, trade name or other right owned by any other Person.

(c)     To the best knowledge of the Parent Guarantor and the Company, there is no Material violation by any Person of any right of the Obligors or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any license, permit, franchise, authorization, patent, copyright, proprietary software, service mark, trademark, trade name or other right owned or used by the Obligors or any of its Subsidiaries.

Section 5.12.     Compliance with Employee Benefit Plans.   (a) Each Obligor and each ERISA Affiliate have operated and administered each Plan in compliance with all applicable laws except for such instances of noncompliance as have not resulted in and could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Obligor nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or the penalty or excise tax provisions of the Code relating to any Plan, and no event, transaction or condition has occurred or exists that could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence of any such liability by the Obligors or any ERISA Affiliate, or in the imposition of any Lien on any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company or any ERISA Affiliate, in either case pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or to section 430(k) of the Code  or  to  any  such  penalty  or  excise  tax  provisions  under  the  Code  or  federal  law  or section 4068  of  ERISA  or  by  the  granting  of  a  security  interest  in  connection  with  the amendment of a Plan, other than such liabilities or Liens as could not individually or in the aggregate be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

-8-

(b)     The present value of the aggregate benefit liabilities under each of the Plans (other than Multiemployer Plans), determined as of the end of such Plan’s most recently ended plan year on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for funding purposes in such Plan’s most recent actuarial valuation report, did not exceed the aggregate current value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities by a Material Amount.  The term “benefit liabilities” has  the  meaning  specified  in  section 4001  of  ERISA  and  the  terms  “current  value”  and “present value” have the meaning specified in section 3 of ERISA and shall be determined in accordance with the assumptions used for funding the Plan pursuant to Section 412 of the Code for the applicable Plan year.

(c)     Each Obligor and their ERISA Affiliates have not incurred withdrawal liabilities (and are not subject to contingent withdrawal liabilities) under section 4201 or 4204 of ERISA in respect of Multiemployer Plans that individually or in the aggregate that could reasonably be expected to give rise to a Material Adverse Effect.

(d)     The expected postretirement benefit obligation (determined as of the last day of the Parent Guarantor’s most recently ended fiscal year in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 715-60, without regard to liabilities attributable to continuation coverage mandated by section 4980B of the Code) of the Parent Guarantor, the Company and their Subsidiaries could not reasonably be expected to give rise to a Material Adverse Effect.

(e)     The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Guaranty and the issuance and sale of the Notes hereunder will not involve any transaction that is subject to the prohibitions of section 406  of  ERISA  or  in  connection  with  which  a  tax  could  be  imposed  pursuant  to section 4975(c)(1)(A)-(D) of the Code.   The representation by the Parent Guarantor and the Company to each Purchaser in the first sentence of this Section 5.12(e) is made in reliance upon and subject to the accuracy of such Purchaser’s representation in Section 6.2 as to the sources of the funds to be used to pay the purchase price of the Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser.

(f)     The Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries do not have any Non-U.S. Plans.

Section 5.13.     Private Offering.  Neither the Parent Guarantor, the Company nor anyone acting on its or their behalf has offered the Notes, the Guaranty or any similar Securities for sale to, or solicited any offer to buy the Notes or any similar Securities from, or otherwise approached or negotiated in respect thereof with, any Person other than the Purchasers, each of which has been offered the Notes and the Guaranty at a private sale for investment.   Neither the Parent Guarantor, the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has taken, or will take, any action that would subject the issuance or sale of the Notes to the registration requirements of section 5 of the Securities Act or to the registration requirements of any Securities or blue sky laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

Section 5.14.     Use  of  Proceeds;  Margin  Regulations.    The  Company  will  apply  the proceeds of the sale of the Notes hereunder to refinance existing debt (including the refinancing of revolving  debt  without  reduction  of  commitment  therefore)  and/or  for general  corporate purposes.  No part of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes hereunder will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of buying or carrying any margin stock within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (12 CFR 221), or for the purpose of buying or carrying or trading in any Securities under such circumstances as to involve

A holder of Notes may accept the offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.3 by causing a notice of such acceptance to be delivered to the Company  not  later  than  15 days  after  receipt  by  such  holder  of  the  most  recent  offer  of prepayment.  A failure by a holder of Notes to respond to an offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall be deemed to constitute a rejection of such offer by such holder.

(d)     Prepayment.   Prepayment of the Notes to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall be at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes, together with interest on such Notes accrued to the date of prepayment, but without Make-Whole Amount or other premium.  The prepayment shall be made on the Proposed Prepayment Date.

(e)     Officer’s Certificate.  Each offer to prepay the Notes pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall be accompanied by a certificate, executed by a Senior Financial Officer and dated the date of such offer, specifying: (i) the Proposed Prepayment Date; (ii) that such offer is made pursuant to this Section 8.3; (iii) the principal amount of each Note offered to be prepaid; (iv) the interest that would be due on each Note offered to be prepaid, accrued to the Proposed Prepayment Date; (v) that the conditions of this Section 8.3 have been fulfilled; and (vi) in reasonable detail, the nature and date or proposed date of the Change in Control.

-20-

(f)     Certain Definitions. “Change in Control” means an event or series of events by which:

(a)      the Parent Guarantor fails to own at least 80% of the Voting Stock of the Company;

(b)      any “person” or “group” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, but excluding any employee benefit plan of such person or its subsidiaries, and any person or entity acting in its capacity as trustee, agent or other fiduciary  or administrator of any such plan) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except that a person or group shall be deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of all Equity Interests that such person or group has the right to acquire, whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time (such right, an “option right”)), directly or indirectly, of 30% or more of the Equity Interests of the Parent Guarantor entitled to vote for members of the board of directors or equivalent governing body of the Parent Guarantor on a fully-diluted basis (and taking into account all such securities that such person or group has the right to acquire pursuant to any option right); provided that, notwithstanding the above, unexercised warrants with respect to Equity Interests of the Parent Guarantor shall not be deemed to be ownership of Equity Interests of the Parent Guarantor unless and until such warrants are exercised; or

(c)      during any period of 12 consecutive months, a majority of the members of the board of directors or other equivalent governing body of the Company cease to be composed of individuals (i) who were members of that board or equivalent governing body on the first day of such period, (ii) whose election or nomination to that board or equivalent governing body was approved by individuals referred to in clause (i) above constituting at the time of such election or nomination at least a majority of that board or equivalent governing body or (iii) whose election or nomination to that board or other equivalent governing body was approved by individuals referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above constituting at the time of such election or nomination at least a majority of that board or equivalent governing body (excluding, in the case of both clause (ii) and clause (iii), any individual whose initial nomination for, or assumption of office as, a member of that board or equivalent governing body occurs as a result of an actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents for the election or removal of one or more directors by any person or group other than a solicitation for the election of one or more directors by or on behalf of the board of directors).

Section 8.4.     Allocation of Partial Prepayments.  In the case of each partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.2, the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment.   All partial prepayments made pursuant to Section 8.3 shall be applied only to the Notes of the holders who have elected to participate in such prepayment.

-21-

Section 8.5.     Maturity; Surrender, Etc.      In  the  case  of  each  prepayment  of  Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment, together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any.  From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on such  principal  amount  shall  cease  to  accrue.    Any  Note  paid  or  prepaid  in  full  shall  be surrendered to the Company and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note.

Section 8.6.     Purchase of Notes.   Neither the Parent Guarantor nor the Company will and nor will either of them permit any  Affiliate to purchase,  redeem,  prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except (a) upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes or (b) pursuant to an offer to purchase made by the Parent Guarantor, the Company or an Affiliate pro rata to the holders of all Notes at the time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions. Any such offer shall provide each holder with sufficient information to enable it to make an informed decision with respect to such offer, and shall remain open for at least 15 Business Days.  If the holders of more than 15% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding accept such offer, the Company shall promptly notify the remaining holders of such fact and the expiration date for the acceptance by holders of Notes of such offer shall be extended by the number of days necessary to give each such remaining holder at least 10 Business Days from its receipt of such notice to accept such offer.   The Company will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it, the Parent Guarantor or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment, prepayment or purchase of Notes pursuant to this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes.

Section 8.7.     Make-Whole Amount.

The term “Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero.  For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings: “Called Principal” means, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2  or  has  become  or  is  declared  to  be  immediately  due  and  payable  pursuant  to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

-22-

“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the sum of (a) .50% plus (b) the yield to maturity implied by the “Ask Yield(s)” reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities (“Reported”) having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date.   If there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be determined by (i) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond  equivalent  yields  in  accordance  with  accepted  financial  practice  and  (ii) interpolating linearly between the “Ask Yields” Reported for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (1) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life.   The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

If  such  yields  are  not  Reported  or  the  yields  Reported  as  of  such  time  are  not ascertainable  (including  by  way  of  interpolation),  then  “Reinvestment  Yield”  means,  with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the sum of (x) .50% plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date.  If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (1) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life.  The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and calculated to two decimal places, that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such 

-23-

Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 12.1.

“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

Section 8.8.     Payments Due on Non-Business Days.  Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, (x) except as set forth in clause (y), any payment of interest on any Note that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day; and (y) any payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount on any Note (including principal due on the Maturity Date of such Note) that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day.

SECTION 9.         AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.

The Company and the Parent Guarantor, jointly and severally, covenant that, from the date of this Agreement until the Closing, and thereafter so long as any of the Notes are outstanding:

Section 9.1.     Compliance with Laws.  Without limiting Section 10.4, the Company and the Parent Guarantor will, and will cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, comply with all laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations to which each of them is subject (including ERISA, Environmental Laws, the USA PATRIOT Act and the other laws and regulations that are referred to in Section 5.16) and will obtain and maintain in effect all licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations necessary to the ownership of their respective properties or to the conduct of their respective businesses, in each case to the extent necessary to ensure that non-compliance with such laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations  or  failures  to  obtain  or  maintain  in  effect  such  licenses,  certificates,  permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.2.     Insurance.   The Company and the Parent Guarantor will, and will cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to their respective properties and businesses against such casualties and contingencies,  of  such  types,  on  such  terms  and  in  such  amounts  (including  deductibles, co-insurance and self-insurance, if adequate reserves are maintained with respect thereto) as is customary in the case of entities of established reputations engaged in the same or a similar business and similarly situated.

Section 9.3.     Maintenance of Properties.  The Company and the Parent Guarantor will, and  will  cause each  of  their respective Subsidiaries  to,  maintain  and  keep,  or cause to  be maintained and kept, their respective properties in good repair, working order and condition 

-24-

(other than ordinary wear and tear), so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times, provided that this Section 9.3 shall not prevent either the Company, the Parent Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries from discontinuing the operation and the maintenance of any of its properties if such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business and the Company and the Parent Guarantor have concluded that such discontinuance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.4.     Payment of Taxes and Claims.  The Company and the Parent Guarantor will, and will cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, file all tax returns required to be filed in any jurisdiction and to pay and discharge all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes, assessments, governmental charges, or levies imposed on them or any of their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent the same have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent and all claims for which sums have become due and payable that have or might become a Lien on properties or assets of the Company, the Parent Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries; provided that neither the Company, the Parent Guarantor nor any of their respective Subsidiaries need pay any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim if (i) the amount, applicability or validity thereof is contested by the Company, the Parent Guarantor or such Subsidiary on a timely basis in good faith and in appropriate proceedings, and the Company, the Parent Guarantor or such Subsidiary has established adequate reserves therefor in accordance with GAAP on the books of the Company, the Parent Guarantor or such Subsidiary or (ii) the nonpayment of all such taxes, assessments, charges, levies and claims could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.5.     Corporate Existence, Etc.  Subject to Section 10.2, the Company and the Parent Guarantor will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect their respective legal existence.   Subject to Sections 10.2, the Company and the Parent Guarantor will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect the legal existence of each of their respective Subsidiaries (unless merged into an Obligor or a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary) and all rights and franchises of the Obligors and their respective Subsidiaries unless, in the good faith judgment of the Company and the Parent Guarantor, the termination of or failure to preserve and keep in full force  and  effect  such  legal  existence,  right  or  franchise  could  not,  individually  or  in  the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.6.       Books and Records.  Each of the Company and the Parent Guarantor will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain proper books of record and account in conformity with GAAP and all applicable requirements of any Governmental Authority having legal or regulatory jurisdiction over the Obligors or such Subsidiary, as the case may be.  Each of the Company and the Parent Guarantor will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep books, records and accounts which, in reasonable detail, accurately reflect all transactions and dispositions of assets.   The Obligors and their Subsidiaries have devised a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that their respective books, records,  and  accounts  accurately  reflect  all  transactions  and  dispositions  of  assets  and  the Obligors will, and will cause each of their Subsidiaries to, continue to maintain such system.

-25-

Section 9.7.       Subsidiary  Guarantors.    (a) Each  of  the  Parent  Guarantor  and  the Company will cause each Material Subsidiary and each other Subsidiary that guarantees or otherwise becomes liable at any time, whether as a borrower or an additional or co-borrower or otherwise,  for  or  in  respect  of  any  Indebtedness  under  any  Material  Credit  Facility  to concurrently therewith:

(i)     enter into a joinder agreement to the Guaranty in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders providing for the guaranty by such Subsidiary, on a joint and several basis with all other such Subsidiaries and the Parent Guarantor, of (x) the  prompt  payment  in  full  when  due  of  all  amounts  payable  by  the  Company pursuant to the Notes (whether for principal, interest, Make-Whole Amount or otherwise) and  this  Agreement,  including  all  indemnities,  fees  and  expenses  payable  by  the Company thereunder and (y) the prompt, full and faithful performance, observance and discharge by the Company of each and every covenant, agreement, undertaking and provision required pursuant to the Notes or this Agreement to be performed, observed or discharged by it (a “Joinder to the Guaranty”); and

(ii)     deliver the following to each holder of a Note: 

(A)      an executed joinder to the Guaranty;

(B)     a certificate signed by an authorized responsible officer of such Subsidiary containing representations and warranties on behalf of such Subsidiary to the same effect, mutatis mutandis, as those contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.6, 5.7, 5.16 of this Agreement (but with respect to such Subsidiary and such joinder to the Guaranty rather than the Company);

(C)     all documents as may be reasonably requested by the Required Holders to evidence the due organization, continuing existence and, where applicable, good standing of such Subsidiary and the due authorization by all requisite action on the part of such Subsidiary of the execution and delivery of such  joinder to  the Guaranty  and  the performance by  such  Subsidiary  of its obligations thereunder; and

(D)      an  opinion  of  counsel  reasonably  satisfactory  to  the  Required Holders covering such matters relating to such Subsidiary and such joinder to the Guaranty as the Required Holders may reasonably request.

(b)       At the election of the Company and by written notice to each holder of Notes, any Subsidiary Guarantor may be discharged from all of its obligations and liabilities under its Guaranty and shall be automatically released from its obligations thereunder without the need for the execution or delivery of any other document by the holders, provided that (i) such Subsidiary is no longer a Material Subsidiary, (ii) if such Subsidiary Guarantor is a guarantor or is otherwise liable for or in respect of any Material Credit Facility, then such Subsidiary Guarantor has been released and discharged (or will be released and discharged concurrently with the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Guaranty) under such Material Credit Facility, (iii) at the time of, 

-26-

and after giving effect to, such release and discharge, no Default or Event of Default shall be existing, (iv) no amount is then due and payable under such Guaranty, (v) if in connection with such Subsidiary Guarantor being released and discharged under any Material Credit Facility, any fee or other form of consideration is given to any holder of Indebtedness under such Material Credit Facility for such release, the holders of the Notes shall receive equivalent consideration substantially concurrently therewith and (vi) each holder shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying as to the matters set forth in clauses (i) through (v).

Section 9.8.    Most Favored Lender Status.  (a)(i) If at any time after the date of this Agreement a Material Credit Facility contains a financial covenant relating to the matters addressed in Section 10.10(b) (Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio ), 10.10(c) (Consolidated  Leverage  Ratio),  10.10(e)  (Consolidated  Unencumbered  Leverage  Ratio)  or 10.10(f) (Consolidated Secured Indebtedness) (regardless of whether such provision is labeled or otherwise characterized as a covenant, a definition or a default) by the Company or the Parent Guarantor that is more favorable to the lenders under such Material Credit Facility than the covenants,  definitions  and/or  defaults  contained  in  Sections  10.10(b),  10.10(c)  10.10(e)  or 10.10(f), as the case may be, of this Agreement (any such provision (including any necessary definition), a “More Favorable Covenant”), then the Company shall provide a Most Favored Lender Notice in respect of such More Favorable Covenant.  Unless waived in writing by the Required Holders within 15 days after each holder’s receipt of such notice, such More Favorable Covenant  shall  be  deemed  automatically incorporated  by reference  into  Section  10  of  this Agreement, mutatis mutandis, as if set forth in full herein, effective as of the date when such More Favorable Covenant shall have become effective under such Material Credit Facility.

(ii) If at any time after the date of this Agreement (A) any Material Credit Facility shall  contain  (I) a  financial  covenant  relating  to  the matters  addressed  in  Section  10.10(a) (Consolidated Tangible Net Worth), 10.10(d) (Distribution Limitation), 10.10(g) (Consolidated Unencumbered Interest Coverage Ratio), or 10.10(h) (Consolidated Secured Recourse Indebtedness) or (II) a financial covenant not substantively expressly provided for in this Agreement (regardless of whether such provision is labeled or otherwise characterized as a covenant, a definition or a default) (any such provision described in the preceding clauses (I) and (II) (including any necessary definition), a “Floating Financial Covenant”) or (B) all Material Credit Facilities shall cease to contain one or more of the Floating Financial Covenants, then the Company  shall  provide  a  Floating  Financial  Covenant  Notice  in  respect  of  such  Floating Financial Covenant.  Upon each holder’s receipt of such notice, the Floating Financial Covenant most favorable to the lenders as among all Material Credit Facilities shall be deemed automatically to replace the corresponding Floating Financial Covenant contained in Section 10 of this Agreement, mutatis mutandis, as if set forth in full herein or to be incorporated herein, as the case may be, or, alternatively, if all Material Credit Facilities shall cease to have a particular Floating  Financial  Covenant,  the  corresponding  Floating  Financial  Covenant  contained  in Section 10 or otherwise deemed to be a part of this Agreement shall be deemed automatically removed and of no further force and effect, in each case effective as of the date when such Floating Financial Covenant shall have become more favorable to the Company or the Parent Guarantor or shall have ceased to be in effect under all Material Credit Facilities.

-27-

(b)       Any More Favorable Covenant or Floating Financial Covenant incorporated into this Agreement (herein referred to as an “Incorporated Covenant”) pursuant to this Section 9.8 (i) shall be deemed automatically amended herein to reflect any subsequent amendments made such that the Incorporated Covenant most favorable to the lenders as among the Material Credit Facilities shall apply for the purposes of this Agreement; provided that, if a Default or an Event of  Default  then  exists  and  the  amendment  of  such  More  Favorable  Covenant  or  Floating Financial Covenant would make such covenant less restrictive on the Company or the Parent Guarantor, such Incorporated Covenant shall only be deemed automatically amended at such time, if it should occur, when such Default or Event of Default no longer exists and (ii) any Incorporated Covenant that constitutes a Floating Financial Covenant shall be deemed automatically deleted from this Agreement at such time as such Incorporated Covenant is deleted from or otherwise not a part of all Material Credit Facilities by means of amendment, modification, termination or by virtue of any applicable Material Credit Facility ceasing to be a Material Credit Facility; provided that, if a Default or an Event of Default then exists, such Incorporated Covenant shall only be deemed automatically deleted from this Agreement at such time, if it should occur, when such Default or Event of Default no longer exists; provided further, however, that if any fee or other consideration shall be given to the lenders under one or more such Material Credit Facilities solely in consideration for such amendment or deletion, the equivalent of the most favorable (to the lenders) of such fees or other consideration shall be given, pro rata, to the holders of the Notes.

(c) (i)   “Most  Favored  Lender  Notice”  means,  in  respect  of  any  More  Favorable Covenant, a written notice to each of the holders of the Notes delivered promptly, and in any event within twenty (20) Business Days after the inclusion of such More Favorable Covenant in any Material Credit Facility (including by way of amendment or other modification of any existing provision thereof) from a Responsible Officer referring to the provisions of this Section 9.9  and  setting  forth  a  reasonably  detailed  description  of  such  More  Favorable  Covenant (including any defined terms used therein) and related explanatory calculations, as applicable.

(ii)  “Floating  Financial  Covenant  Notice”  means,  in  respect  of  any  Floating Financial Covenant, a written notice to each of the holders of the Notes delivered promptly, and in any event within twenty (20) Business Days after the effectiveness of such Floating Financial Covenant as among all Material Credit Facilities (including by way of amendment or other modification of any existing provisions thereof, termination of one or more such Material Credit Facilities or cessation of one or more such Material Credit Facilities to be a Material Credit Facility) from a Responsible Officer referring to the provisions of this Section 9.8 and setting forth  a  reasonably  detailed  description  of  such  Floating  Financial  Covenant  (including  any defined terms used therein) and related explanatory calculations, as applicable.

(d)     Notwithstanding   the   foregoing,   the   covenants   and   related   definitions   in Sections 10.10(b), (c), (e) and (f) as of the date of this Agreement shall never be made less restrictive on the Company or Parent Guarantor than such covenants and such definitions are as of the date of this Agreement.

Section 9.9.     REIT  Status.    For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2016  and  all  times thereafter, the Parent Guarantor will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, operate its

-28-

business at all times so as to satisfy all requirements necessary for the Parent Guarantor to qualify and maintain its qualification as a real estate investment trust under Sections 856 through 860 (or other applicable provisions) of the Code.

Section 9.10.     Compliance with Material Contracts.  Each Obligor shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, perform and observe all the terms and provisions of each Material Contract to be performed or observed by it, maintain each such Material Contract in full force and effect, enforce each such Material Contract in accordance with its terms, take all such action to such end as may be from time to time requested by the Required Holders and, upon request of the Required Holders, make to each other party to each such Material Contract such demands and requests for information and reports or for action as any Obligor is entitled to make under such Material Contract.

Section 9.11.     Designation as Senior Debt.  Each Obligor shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, ensure that all Note Obligations are designated as “Senior Indebtedness” of and are at least pari passu with all unsecured debt of such Obligor and each Subsidiary.

Section 9.12.     Public Company Status.  Unless in connection with a Change in Control, the Parent Guarantor shall take such action as is necessary to (a) remain a public company subject to regulation by the SEC and (b) be listed on the NASDAQ or other national stock exchange.

If the Company fails to comply with any provision of Section 9 on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing, then any of the Purchasers may elect not to purchase the Notes on the date of Closing that is specified in Section 3.

SECTION 10.       NEGATIVE COVENANTS.

The Company and the Parent Guarantor, jointly and severally, covenant that, from the date of this Agreement until the Closing and thereafter so long as any of the Notes are outstanding:

Section 10.1.     Transactions  with  Affiliates.    Each  of  the  Company  and  the  Parent Guarantor will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, enter into directly or indirectly any transaction or group of related transactions (including the purchase, lease, sale or exchange of properties of any kind or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate (other than the Obligor or another Subsidiary), except (i) in the ordinary course and pursuant to the reasonable requirements of the Company’s, the Parent Guarantor’s or such Subsidiary’s business and (ii) upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to the Parent Guarantor, the Company or such Subsidiary than would be obtainable in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person not an Affiliate.

Section 10.2.     Fundamental  Changes.    No  Obligor  shall,  nor  shall  they  permit  any Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, merge, dissolve, liquidate or consolidate with or into another Person, except that so long as no Default exists or would result therefrom, (a) the Company may merge or consolidate with any of its Subsidiaries provided that the Company is the continuing or 

-29-

surviving Person, (b) the Parent Guarantor may merge or consolidate with any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Company); provided that the Parent Guarantor is the continuing or surviving Person, (c) any Subsidiary may merge or consolidate with any other Subsidiary; provided that such merger or consolidation shall not cause a Default or Event of Default and provided further that if an Obligor is a party to such transaction, such Obligor is the surviving Person (provided that if the Company is one of such Obligors, the Company shall be the surviving Person) and (d) any Subsidiary that is not an Obligor or UAP Subsidiary may dissolve, liquidate or wind up its affairs at any time provided that such dissolution, liquidation or winding up, as applicable, could not have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 10.3.     Line of Business.   The Parent Guarantor and the Company will not, and will not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to engage in any business if, as a result, the general nature of the business in which the Parent Guarantor and the Company and each of their respective Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, would then be engaged would be substantially changed from the general nature of the business in which the Parent Guarantor, the Company and each of their respective Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are engaged on the date of this Agreement as described in the Memorandum and any extensions thereof.

Section 10.4.     Economic Sanctions, Etc.  The Company and the Parent Guarantor will not and will not permit any Controlled Entity to (a) become (including by virtue of being owned or controlled by a Blocked Person), own or control a Blocked Person or (b) directly or indirectly have any investment in or engage in any dealing or transaction (including any investment, dealing or transaction involving the proceeds of the Notes) with any Person if such investment, dealing or transaction (i) would cause any Purchaser or holder or any affiliate of such Purchaser or holder to be in violation of, or subject to sanctions under, any law or regulation applicable to such holder, or (ii) is prohibited by or subject to sanctions under any U.S. Economic Sanctions Laws.

Section 10.5.     Liens.  From and after the date of Closing, no Obligor shall, nor shall they permit any Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien upon any of its property, assets or revenues, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, other than the following:

No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement, any Guaranty or any Note upon any holder thereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

Upon surrender of any Note to the Company  at  the  address  and  to  the  attention  of  the  designated  officer  (all  as  specified  in Section 18(iii)), for registration of transfer or exchange (and in the case of a surrender for registration of transfer accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the registered holder of such Note or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing and accompanied by the relevant name, address and other information for notices of each transferee of such Note or part thereof), within 10 Business Days thereafter, the Company shall execute and deliver, at the Company’s expense (except as provided below), one or more new Notes (as requested by the holder thereof) in exchange therefor, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the surrendered Note.

Upon receipt by the Company at the address and to the attention of the designated officer (all as specified in Section 18(iii)) of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note (which evidence shall be, in the case of an Institutional Investor, notice from such Institutional Investor of such ownership and such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation), and

(a)      in  the  case  of  loss,  theft  or  destruction,  of  indemnity  reasonably satisfactory to it (provided that if the holder of such Note is, or is a nominee for, an original Purchaser or another holder of a Note with a minimum net worth of at least $50,000,000 or a Qualified Institutional Buyer, such Person’s own unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory), or

(b)      in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof,

within 10 Business Days thereafter, the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note, dated and bearing interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon.

SECTION 14.       PAYMENTS ON NOTES.

Section 14.2.     Payment by Wire Transfer.  So long as any Purchaser or its nominee shall be the holder of any Note, and notwithstanding anything contained in Section 14.1 or in such Note to the contrary, the Company will pay all sums becoming due on such Note for principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, interest and all other amounts becoming due hereunder by the method and at the address specified for such purpose below such Purchaser’s name in the Purchaser Schedule, or by such other method or at such other address as such Purchaser shall have from time to time specified to the Company in writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of such Note or the making of any notation thereon, except that upon written request of the Company made concurrently with or reasonably promptly after payment or prepayment in full of any Note, such Purchaser shall surrender such Note for cancellation, reasonably promptly after any such request, to the Company at its principal executive office or at the place of payment most recently designated by the Company pursuant to Section 14.1.  Prior to any sale or other disposition of any Note held by a Purchaser or its nominee, such Purchaser will, at its election, either endorse thereon the amount of principal paid thereon and the last date to which interest has been paid thereon or surrender such Note to the Company in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to Section 13.2.   The Company will afford the benefits of this Section 14.2 to any Institutional Investor that is the direct or indirect transferee of any Note purchased by a Purchaser under this Agreement and that has made the same agreement relating to such Note as the Purchasers have made in this Section 14.2.

Nothing  in  this  Section 14.3  shall  require  any  holder  to  provide information that is confidential or proprietary to such holder unless the Company is required to obtain such information under FATCA and, in such event, the Company shall treat any such information it receives as confidential.

Section 14.4.     Tax Withholding.  The Company shall be permitted to withhold from any payment made pursuant to the Notes any amounts that are required to be withheld under applicable law if the holder of a Note fails to provide to the Company a properly completed and valid Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or W8-BEN-E (or other applicable form) within 10 days of any written request by the Company and the Company shall not otherwise withhold any U.S. federal or state income taxes from any payments made under the Notes.

Section 15.3.     Survival.   The obligations of the Parent Guarantor and the the Company under  this  Section 15  will  survive  the  payment  or  transfer  of  any  Note,  the  enforcement, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, any Guaranty or the Notes, and the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 16.       SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

All representations and warranties contained herein or in the Guaranty shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Notes and the Guaranty, the purchase or transfer by any Purchaser of any Note or portion thereof or interest therein and the payment of any Note, and may be relied upon by any subsequent holder of a Note, regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of such Purchaser or any other holder of a Note.   All statements contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of any Obligor pursuant to this Agreement or the Guaranty shall be deemed representations and warranties of such Obligor under this Agreement or the Guaranty, as the case may be.

-44-

SECTION 17.       AMENDMENT AND WAIVER.

Section 17.1.     Requirements.  This Agreement and the Notes may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof or of the Notes may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the Required Holders, except that:

(a)      no amendment or waiver of any of Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 21 hereof, or any defined term (as it is used therein), will be effective as to any Purchaser unless consented to by such Purchaser in writing;

(b)       no  amendment  or  waiver  may,  without  the  written  consent  of  each Purchaser and the holder of each Note at the time outstanding, (i) subject to Section 12 relating to acceleration or rescission, change the amount or time of any prepayment or payment of principal of, or reduce the rate or change the time of payment or method of computation of (x) interest on the Notes or (y) the Make-Whole Amount, (ii) change the percentage of the principal amount of the Notes the holders of which are required to consent to any amendment or waiver or the principal amount of the Notes that the Purchasers are to purchase pursuant to Section 2 upon the satisfaction of the conditions to Closing that appear in Section 4, or (iii) amend any of Sections 8 (except as set forth in the second sentence of Section 8.2 and Section 17.1(c)), 11(a), 11(b), 12, 17 or 20; and

(c)      Section 8.6 may be amended or waived to permit offers to purchase made by the Company or an Affiliate pro rata to the holders of all Notes at the time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions only with the written consent of the Company and the Super-Majority Holders.

Section 17.2.     Solicitation of Holders of Notes.

(a)     Solicitation.  The Parent Guarantor and the Company will provide each Purchaser and each holder of a Note with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision  is  required,  to  enable  such  Purchasers  and  such  holder to  make an  informed  and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof or of the Notes or any Guaranty.   The Company will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to this Section 17 or any Guaranty to each Purchaser and each holder of a Note promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite Purchasers or holders of Notes.

(b)     Payment.  Neither the Parent Guarantor nor the Company will directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security or provide other credit support, to any Purchaser or holder of a Note as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by such Purchaser or holder of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof or of any Guaranty or any Note unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted or other credit support concurrently provided, on the same terms, ratably to each Purchaser and each holder of a Note even if such Purchaser or holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment.

-45-

(c)     Consent  in  Contemplation  of  Transfer.    Any  consent  given  pursuant  to  this Section 17 or any Guaranty by a holder of a Note that has transferred or has agreed to transfer its Note to (i) the Company, (ii) the Parent Guarantor, (iii) any Subsidiary of either or any other Affiliate or (iv) any other Person in connection with, or in anticipation of, such other Person acquiring, making a tender offer for or merging with the Parent Guarantor, the Company and/or any  of  its  Affiliates  (either  pursuant  to  a  waiver  under  Section 17.1(c)  or  subsequent  to Section 8.5 having been amended pursuant to Section 17.1(c)), in each case in connection with such consent, shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such holder, and any amendments effected or waivers granted or to be effected or granted that would not have been or would not be so effected or granted but for such consent (and the consents of all other holders of Notes that were acquired under the same or similar conditions) shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such holder.

Section 17.3.     Binding Effect, Etc.  Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 17 or any Guaranty applies equally to all Purchasers and holders of Notes and is binding upon them and upon each future holder of any Note and upon the Company without regard to whether such Note has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver.  No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon.  No course of dealing between the Parent Guarantor, the Company and any Purchaser or holder of a Note and no delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Note or Guaranty shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any Purchaser or holder of such Note.

Section 17.4.     Notes Held by Company, Etc.   Solely for the purpose of determining whether the holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Agreement, any Guaranty or the Notes, or have directed the taking of any action provided herein or in any Guaranty or the Notes to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, Notes directly or indirectly owned by the Parent Guarantor, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding.

This Agreement, the Guaranty and all documents relating thereto, including, without limitation,   (a) consents,   waivers   and   modifications   that   may   hereafter   be   executed, (b) documents received by any Purchaser at the Closing (except the Notes themselves), and (c) financial statements, certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished to any  Purchaser,  may  be  reproduced  by  such  Purchaser  by  any  photographic,  photostatic, electronic,  digital  or  other  similar  process  and  such  Purchaser  may  destroy  any  original document so reproduced.  The Parent Guarantor and the Company agrees and stipulates that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by such Purchaser in the regular course of business) and any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence.  This Section 19 shall not prohibit the Parent Guarantor, the Company or any other holder of Notes from contesting any such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original, or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction.

SECTION 20.       CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

For the purposes of this Section 20, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser by or on behalf of the Parent Guarantor, the Company, or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is proprietary in nature and that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise 

-47-

adequately identified when received by such Purchaser as being confidential information of the Parent Guarantor, the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be; provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Purchaser or any Person acting on such Purchaser’s behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to such Purchaser other than through disclosure by the Parent Guarantor, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser under Section 7.1 that are otherwise publicly available.  Each Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by such Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such Purchaser; provided that such Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by its Notes), (ii) its auditors, financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential  the  Confidential  Information  substantially  in  accordance  with  this  Section 20, (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) any Institutional Investor to which it sells or offers to sell such Note or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 20), (v) any Person from which it offers to purchase any security of the Parent Guarantor or the Company (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 20) provided, in no event shall such Purchaser deliver or disclose any material, non-public information in violation of securities laws, (vi) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser, (vii) the NAIC or the SVO or, in each case, any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency  that  requires  access  to  information  about  such  Purchaser’s  investment  portfolio  or (viii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which such Purchaser is a party or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under such Purchaser’s Notes, this Agreement or any Guaranty.  Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 20 as though it were a party to this Agreement.   On reasonable request by the Parent Guarantor and the Company in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the Parent Guarantor and the Company embodying this Section 20.

In the event that as a condition to receiving access to information relating to the Obligors or their Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, any Purchaser or holder of a Note is required to agree to a confidentiality undertaking (whether through IntraLinks, another secure website, a secure virtual workspace or otherwise) which is different from this Section 20, this Section 20 shall not be amended thereby and, as between such Purchaser or such holder and the Parent Guarantor and the Company, this Section 20 shall supersede any such other confidentiality undertaking.

-48-

SECTION 21.       SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASER.

Each Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates or another Purchaser or any one of such other Purchaser’s Affiliates (a “Substitute Purchaser”) as the purchaser  of  the  Notes  that  it  has  agreed  to  purchase  hereunder,  by  written  notice  to  the Company, which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser and such Substitute Purchaser, shall contain such Substitute Purchaser’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Substitute Purchaser of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations  set  forth  in  Section 6.    Upon  receipt  of  such  notice,  any  reference to  such Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), shall be deemed to refer to such Substitute  Purchaser  in  lieu  of  such  original  Purchaser.    In  the  event  that  such  Substitute Purchaser is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder and such Substitute Purchaser thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Substitute Purchaser, upon receipt by the Company of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Substitute Purchaser as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser, but shall refer to such original Purchaser, and such original Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement.

SECTION 22.       MISCELLANEOUS.

Section 22.1.     Successors and Assigns.  All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns (including any subsequent holder of a Note) whether so expressed or not, except that, subject to Section 10.2, the Company may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under the Notes without the prior written consent of each holder.

Section 22.3.     Severability.    Any  provision  of  this  Agreement  that  is  prohibited  or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law)
not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

-49-

Section 22.4.     Construction, Etc.   Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant.   Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.

Defined terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined.   Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms.  The words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.”  The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall.”  Unless the context requires otherwise (a) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein) and, for purposes of the Notes, shall also include any such notes issued in substitution therefor pursuant to Section 13, (b) subject to Section 22.1, any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns, (c) the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder,” and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, (d) all references herein to Sections and Schedules shall be construed to refer to Sections of, and Schedules to, this Agreement, and (e) any reference to any law or regulation herein shall, unless otherwise specified, refer to such law or regulation as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time.

Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto.

Section 22.6.     Governing  Law.    This  Agreement  shall  be  construed  and  enforced  in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York  excluding  choice-of-law  principles  of  the  law  of  such  State  that  would  permit  the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.

Section 22.7.     Jurisdiction  and  Process;  Waiver  of  Jury  Trial.     (a) The  Parent Guarantor and the Company, each for itself, irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any  New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Guaranty or the Notes.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the  Parent Guarantor and the Company, each for itself, irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any 

-50-

objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(b)     The Parent Guaranty and the Company, each for itself, agree, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that a final judgment in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 22.7(a) brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon it subject to rights of appeal, as the case may be, and may be enforced in the courts of the United States of America or the State of New York (or any other courts to the jurisdiction of which it or any of its assets is or may be subject) by a suit upon such judgment.

(c)     The Parent Guarantor and Company, each for itself, consent to process being served by or on behalf of any holder of Notes in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 22.7(a) by mailing a copy thereof by registered, certified, priority or express mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, return receipt or delivery confirmation requested, to it at its address specified in Section 18 or at such other address of which such holder shall then have been notified pursuant to said Section.   The Parent Guarantor and the Company, each for itself, agrees that such service upon receipt (i) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (ii) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it.

GUARANTY AGREEMENT

THIS   GUARANTY   AGREEMENT,  dated  as  of  September 22,  2016  (this  “Guaranty Agreement”), is made by Retail Opportunity Investments Corp., a Maryland corporation (the “Parent Guarantor”; and, together with any other entities from time to time which become parties  hereto  pursuant  to  Section 14.1  hereof,  each  a  “Guarantor”  and  collectively,  the “Guarantors”) in favor of the Purchasers (as defined below) and the other holders from time to time of the Notes (as defined below).   The Purchasers and such other holders are herein collectively called the “holders” and individually a “holder.”

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS:

I.     Retail Opportunity Investments Partnership, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Company”), and the Parent Guarantor has entered into a Note Purchase Agreement dated as of July 27, 2016 as amended and restated by the Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement dated as of September 22, 2016 (as amended, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time, the “Note Agreement”) with the Persons listed on the signature pages thereto (the “Purchasers”).   Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings specified in the Note Agreement unless otherwise defined herein.

II.     The Company has authorized the issuance, pursuant to the Note Agreement, of
3.95% Senior Notes due September 22, 2026 in the aggregate principal amount of $200,000,000 (the “Initial Notes”).   The Initial Notes and any other Notes that may from time to time be issued pursuant to the Note Agreement (including any notes issued in substitution for any of the Notes) are herein collectively called the “Notes” and individually a “Note.”

III.     Pursuant to the Note Agreement, the Company is required to cause each Guarantor to deliver this Guaranty Agreement to the holders.

IV.   Each Guarantor will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Note Agreement.   Each Guarantor has determined that the incurrence of such obligations is in the best interests of such Guarantor.

NOW THEREFORE, in compliance with the Note Agreement, and in consideration of, the execution and delivery of the Note Agreement and the purchase of the Notes by each of the Purchasers, each Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees with, and represents and warrants to each of the holders as follows:

SECTION 1.         GUARANTY.

Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and jointly and severally with the other Guarantors guarantees to each holder, the due and punctual payment in full of (a) the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest on (including, without limitation, interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency,

- 1-

 reorganization or like proceeding, whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding), and any other amounts due under, the Notes when and as the same shall become due and payable (whether at stated maturity or by required or optional prepayment or by acceleration or otherwise) and (b) any other sums which may become due under the terms and provisions of the Notes, the Note Agreement or any other instrument referred to therein) all such obligations described in clauses (a) and (b) above are herein called the “Guaranteed Obligations”).  The guaranty in the preceding sentence is an absolute, present and continuing guaranty of payment and not of collectibility and is in no way conditional or contingent upon any attempt to collect from the Company or any other guarantor of the Notes (including, without limitation, any other Guarantor hereunder) or upon any other action, occurrence or circumstance whatsoever.  In the event that the Company shall fail so to pay any of such Guaranteed Obligations, each Guarantor agrees to pay the same when due to the holders entitled thereto, without demand, presentment, protest or notice of any kind, in lawful money of the United States of America, pursuant to the requirements for payment specified in the Notes and the Note Agreement.  Each default in payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall give rise to a separate cause of action hereunder and separate suits may be brought hereunder as each cause of action arises.  Each Guarantor agrees that the Notes issued in connection with the Note Agreement may (but need not) make reference to this Guaranty Agreement.

Each Guarantor agrees to pay and to indemnify and save each holder harmless from and against any damage, loss, cost or expense (including attorneys’ fees) which such holder may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (x) any breach by such Guarantor, by any other Guarantor or by the Company of any warranty, covenant, term or condition in, or the occurrence of any default under, this Guaranty Agreement, the Notes, the Note Agreement or any  other  instrument  referred  to  therein,  together  with  all  expenses  resulting  from  the compromise or defense of any claims or liabilities arising as a result of any such breach or default,  (y) any  legal  action  commenced  to  challenge  the  validity  or  enforceability  of  this Guaranty Agreement, the Notes, the Note Agreement or any other instrument referred to therein and  (z) enforcing  or  defending  (or  determining  whether  or  how  to  enforce  or  defend)  the provisions of this Guaranty Agreement.

Each  Guarantor  hereby  acknowledges  and  agrees  that  such  Guarantor’s  liability hereunder is joint and several with the other Guarantors and any other Person(s) who may guarantee the obligations and Indebtedness under and in respect of the Notes and the Note Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions or any other provision of this Guaranty Agreement, the Purchasers (on behalf of themselves and their successors and assigns) and each Guarantor hereby agree that if at any time the Guaranteed Obligations exceed the Maximum Guaranteed  Amount  determined  as  of  such  time  with  regard  to  such  Guarantor,  then  this Guaranty Agreement shall be automatically amended to reduce the Guaranteed Obligations to the Maximum Guaranteed Amount.  Such amendment shall not require the written consent of any Guarantor or any holder and shall be deemed to have been automatically consented to by each Guarantor and each holder.  Each Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time exceed the Maximum Guaranteed Amount without affecting or impairing the obligation of such Guarantor.  “Maximum Guaranteed Amount” means as of the date of determination with

- 2-

 respect to a Guarantor, the lesser of (a) the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations outstanding on such date and (b) the maximum amount that would not render such Guarantor’s liability under this  Guaranty  Agreement  subject  to  avoidance  under  Section 548  of  the  United  States Bankruptcy Code (or any successor provision) or any comparable provision of applicable state law.

SECTION 2.         OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE.

The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be primary, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, irrespective of the validity or enforceability of the Notes, the Note Agreement or any  other  instrument  referred  to  therein,  shall  not  be  subject  to  any  counterclaim,  setoff, deduction or defense based upon any claim such Guarantor may have against the Company or any holder or otherwise, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, discharged or in any way affected by, any circumstance or condition whatsoever (whether or not such Guarantor shall have any knowledge or notice thereof), including, without limitation: (a) any amendment to, modification of, supplement to or restatement of the Notes, the Note Agreement or any other instrument referred to therein (it being agreed that the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall apply to the Notes, the Note Agreement or any such other instrument as so amended, modified, supplemented or restated) or any assignment or transfer of any thereof or of any interest therein, or any furnishing, acceptance or release of any security for the Notes or the addition, substitution or release of any other Guarantor or any other entity or other Person primarily or secondarily liable in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations; (b) any waiver, consent, extension, indulgence or other action or inaction under or in respect of the Notes, the Note Agreement or any other instrument referred to therein; (c) any bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization, readjustment, composition, liquidation or similar proceeding  with  respect  to  the  Company  or  its  property;  (d) any  merger,  amalgamation  or consolidation of any Guarantor or of the Company into or with any other Person or any sale, lease or transfer of any or all of the assets of any Guarantor or of the Company to any Person; (e) any failure on the part of the Company for any reason to comply with or perform any of the terms of any other agreement with any Guarantor; (f) any failure on the part of any holder to obtain,  maintain,  register  or  otherwise  perfect  any  security;  or  (g) any  other  event  or circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor (whether or not similar to the foregoing), and in any event  however material or prejudicial it may be to any Guarantor or to any subrogation, contribution or reimbursement rights any Guarantor may otherwise have.   Each Guarantor covenants that its obligations hereunder will not be discharged except by indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other obligations hereunder.

SECTION 3.         WAIVER.

Each Guarantor unconditionally waives to the fullest extent permitted by law, (a) notice of acceptance hereof, of any action taken or omitted in reliance hereon and of any default by the Company in the payment of any amounts due under the Notes, the Note Agreement or any other instrument referred to therein, and of any of the matters referred to in Section 2 hereof, (b) all notices which may be required by statute, rule of law or otherwise to preserve any of the rights of any holder against such Guarantor, including, without limitation, presentment to or demand for

- 3-

 payment from the Company or any Guarantor with respect to any Note, notice to the Company or to any Guarantor of default or protest for nonpayment or dishonor and the filing of claims with a court in the event of the bankruptcy of the Company, (c) any right to require any holder to enforce, assert or exercise any right, power or remedy including, without limitation, any right, power  or  remedy  conferred  in  the  Note  Agreement  or  the  Notes,  (d) any  requirement  for diligence on the part of any holder and (e) any other act or omission or thing or delay in doing any other act or thing which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of such Guarantor or in any manner lessen the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.

SECTION 4.         OBLIGATIONS UNIMPAIRED.

Each Guarantor authorizes the holders, without notice or demand to such Guarantor or any other Guarantor and without affecting its obligations hereunder, from time to time: (a) to renew, compromise, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, all or any part of the Notes, the Note Agreement or any other instrument referred to therein; (b) to change any of the representations, covenants, events of default or any other terms or conditions of or pertaining  to  the  Notes,  the  Note  Agreement  or  any  other  instrument  referred  to  therein, including, without limitation, decreases or increases in amounts of principal, rates of interest, the Make-Whole Amount or any other obligation; (c) to take and hold security for the payment of the Notes, the Note Agreement or any other instrument referred to therein, for the performance of  this  Guaranty  Agreement  or  otherwise  for  the  Indebtedness  guaranteed  hereby  and  to exchange, enforce, waive, subordinate and release any such security; (d) to apply any such security and to direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the holders in their sole discretion may determine; (e) to obtain additional or substitute endorsers or guarantors or release any other Guarantor or any other Person or entity primarily or secondarily liable in respect of the Guaranteed  Obligations;  (f) to  exercise  or  refrain  from  exercising  any  rights  against  the Company, any Guarantor or any other Person; and (g) to apply any sums, by whomsoever paid or however realized, to the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other obligations owed hereunder.  The holders shall have no obligation to proceed against any additional or substitute endorsers or guarantors or to pursue or exhaust any security provided by the Company, such Guarantor or any other Guarantor or any other Person or to pursue any other remedy available to the holders.

If an event permitting the acceleration of the maturity of the principal amount of any Notes shall exist and such acceleration shall at such time be prevented or the right of any holder to receive any payment on account of the Guaranteed Obligations shall at such time be delayed or otherwise affected by reason of the pendency against the Company, any Guarantor or any other guarantors of a case or proceeding under a bankruptcy or insolvency law, such Guarantor agrees that, for purposes of this Guaranty Agreement and its obligations hereunder, the maturity of such principal amount shall be deemed to have been accelerated with the same effect as if the holder thereof had accelerated the same in accordance with the terms of the Note Agreement, and such Guarantor shall forthwith pay such accelerated Guaranteed Obligations.

- 4-

SECTION 5.         SUBROGATION AND SUBORDINATION.

(a)     Each Guarantor will not exercise any rights which it may have acquired by way of subrogation under this Guaranty Agreement, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, or accept any payment on account of such subrogation rights, or any rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity or any rights or recourse to any security for the Notes or this Guaranty Agreement unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash.

(b)     Each Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all Indebtedness and other obligations of the Company or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations owing to such Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including, without limitation, all rights and claims described in clause (a) of this Section 5, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Guaranteed Obligations.   If the Required Holders so request, any such Indebtedness or other obligations shall be enforced and performance received by such Guarantor as trustee for the holders and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the holders promptly, in the form received (together with any necessary endorsements) to be applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, as may be directed by the Required Holders, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of any Guarantor under this Guaranty Agreement.

(c)     If  any  amount  or  other  payment  is  made  to  or  accepted  by  any  Guarantor  in violation of any of the preceding clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 5, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the holders and shall be paid over to the holders promptly, in the form received (together with any necessary endorsements) to be applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, as may be directed by the Required Holders, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty Agreement.

(d)     Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Note Agreement and that its agreements set forth   in   this   Guaranty   Agreement   (including   this   Section 5)   are   knowingly   made   in contemplation of such benefits.

(e)     Each Guarantor hereby agrees that, to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid an amount hereunder to any holder that is greater than the net value of the benefits received, directly or indirectly, by such paying Guarantor as a result of the issuance and sale of the Notes (such net value, its “Proportionate Share”), such paying Guarantor shall, subject to Section 5(a) and 5(b), be entitled to contribution from any Guarantor that has not paid its Proportionate Share of the Guaranteed Obligations.  Any amount payable as a contribution under this Section 5(e) shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment is made by such Guarantor seeking contribution and each Guarantor acknowledges that the right to contribution hereunder shall constitute an asset of such Guarantor to which such contribution is owed.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  the  provisions  of  this  Section 5(e) shall  in  no  respect  limit  the  obligations  and liabilities of any Guarantor to the holders of the Notes hereunder or under the Notes, the Note Agreement or any other document, instrument or agreement executed in connection therewith,

- 5-

 and  each  Guarantor  shall  remain  jointly  and  severally  liable  for  the  full  payment  and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 6.         REINSTATEMENT OF GUARANTY.

This Guaranty Agreement shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if and to the extent at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the sums due to any holder on account of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by a holder upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Company or any other guarantors, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers with respect to the Company or any other guarantors or any part of its or their property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

SECTION 7.         RANK OF GUARANTY.

Each Guarantor will ensure that its payment obligations under this Guaranty Agreement will at all times rank at least pari passu, without preference or priority, with all other unsecured and unsubordinated Indebtedness of such Guarantor now or hereafter existing.

SECTION 8.         COVENANTS OF EACH GUARANTOR.

So long as any Notes are outstanding or the Note Agreement shall remain in effect, each Guarantor agrees to comply with the covenants applicable to such Guarantor pursuant to the Note Agreement:

SECTION 9.         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF EACH GUARANTOR.

Each Guarantor represents and warrants to each holder as follows that the representation and warranties of such Guarantor as set forth in Section 5 are true and correct as of the date hereof.

SECTION 10.       TERM OF GUARANTY AGREEMENT.

This  Guaranty  Agreement  and  all  guarantees,  covenants  and  agreements  of  the Guarantors contained herein shall continue in full force and effect and shall not be discharged until such time as all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other obligations hereunder shall be indefeasibly paid in full in cash and shall be subject to reinstatement pursuant to Section 6; provided that each Guarantor hereunder who is a Subsidiary of the Company may be released in accordance with Section 9.7(b) of the Note Agreement.

SECTION 11.       SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

All representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the execution and delivery  of  this  Guaranty  Agreement  and  may  be  relied  upon  by  any  subsequent  holder,

- 6-

 regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of any Purchaser or any other holder.  All statements contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of a Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties of such Guarantor under this Guaranty Agreement.  Subject to the preceding sentence, this Guaranty Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding between each holder and  the  Guarantors  and  supersedes  all  prior  agreements  and  understandings  relating  to  the subject matter hereof.

SECTION 12.       AMENDMENT AND WAIVER.

Section 12.1.     Requirements.   Except as otherwise provided in the fourth paragraph of Section 1 of this Guaranty Agreement, this Guaranty Agreement may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), with (and only with) the written consent of each Guarantor and the Required Holders, except that no amendment or waiver (a) of any of the first three paragraphs of Section 1 or any of the provisions of Section 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 12 or 14.6 hereof, or any defined term (as it is used therein), or (b) which results in the limitation of the liability of any Guarantor hereunder (except to the extent provided in the fourth paragraph of Section 1 of this Guaranty Agreement) will be effective as to any holder unless consented to by such holder in writing.

Section 12.2.     Solicitation of Holders of Notes.

(a)     Solicitation.  Each Guarantor will provide each holder of the Notes (irrespective of the amount of Notes then owned by it) with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required, to enable such holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof.   Each Guarantor will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 12.2 to each holder promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite holders of Notes.

(b)     Payment.  The Guarantors will not directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security or provide other credit support, to any holder as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by any holder of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted or other credit support concurrently provided, on the same terms, ratably to each holder even if such holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment.

(c)     Consent  in  Contemplation  of  Transfer.    Any  consent  made  pursuant  to  this Section 12 by a holder that has transferred or has agreed to transfer its Notes to the Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate (including any Guarantor) of the Company and has provided or has agreed to provide such written consent as a condition to such transfer shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such holder, and any amendments effected or waivers granted or to be effected or granted that would not have been or would not be so effected or granted but

- 7-

 for such consent (and the consents of all other holders of Notes that were acquired under the same or similar conditions) shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such holder.

Section 12.3.     Binding Effect.  Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 12 applies equally to all holders and is binding upon them and upon each future holder and upon each Guarantor without regard to whether any Note has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver.  No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant or agreement not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between a Guarantor and the holder nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any holder.   As used herein, the term “this Guaranty Agreement” and references thereto shall mean this Guaranty Agreement as it may be amended, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time.

Section 12.4.     Notes Held by Company, Etc.   Solely for the purpose of determining whether the holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Guaranty Agreement, or have directed the taking of any action provided herein to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, Notes directly or indirectly owned by any Guarantor, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding.

SECTION 13.       NOTICES.

All notices and communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and sent (a) by telecopy if the sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of such notice by a recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), or (b) by registered or certified mail with return receipt requested (postage prepaid), or (c) by a recognized overnight delivery service (with charges prepaid).  Any such notice must be sent:

(b)    if to any holder, to such holder at the addresses specified for such communications set forth in Purchaser Schedule to the Note Agreement, or such other address as such holder shall have specified to the Guarantors in writing.

SECTION 14.       MISCELLANEOUS.

Section 14.1.     Successors and Assigns; Joinder.   All covenants and other agreements contained in this Guaranty Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns whether so expressed or not.  It is agreed and understood that any Person may become a Guarantor hereunder by executing a Guarantor Supplement substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto and delivering the same to the

- 8-

 Holders.  Any such Person shall thereafter be a “Guarantor” for all purposes under this Guaranty Agreement.

Section 14.2.     Severability.  Any provision of this Guaranty Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law), not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 14.3.     Construction.  Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant.  Whether any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.

The section and subsection headings in this Guaranty Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall neither be deemed to be a part of this Guaranty Agreement nor modify, define, expand or limit any of the terms or provisions hereof.  All references herein to numbered sections, unless otherwise indicated, are to sections of this Guaranty Agreement.   Words and definitions in the singular shall be read and construed as though in the plural and vice versa, and words in the masculine, neuter or feminine gender shall be read and construed as though in either of the other genders where the context so requires.

Section 14.4.     Further Assurances.   Each Guarantor agrees to execute and deliver all such instruments and take all such action as the Required Holders may from time to time reasonably request in order to effectuate fully the purposes of this Guaranty Agreement.

Section 14.5.     Governing  Law.     This  Guaranty  Agreement  shall  be  construed  and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York, excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such State that would permit the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.

Section 14.6.     Jurisdiction  and  Process; Waiver of Jury  Trial.    (a) Each  Guarantor irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising  out  of or  relating  to  this  Guaranty  Agreement.    To  the fullest  extent  permitted  by applicable law, each Guarantor irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(b)     Each Guarantor consents to process being served by or on behalf of any holder in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 14.6(a) by mailing a copy thereof  by  registered  or  certified  mail  (or  any  substantially  similar  form  of  mail),  postage

- 9-

 prepaid, return receipt requested, to it at its address specified in Section 13 or at such other address  of  which  such  holder  shall  then  have  been  notified  pursuant  to  Section 13.    Each Guarantor agrees that such service upon receipt (i) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (ii) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it.   Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service.

(c)     Nothing in this Section 14.6 shall affect the right of any holder to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the holders may have to bring proceedings against any Guarantor in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.

(d)     THE GUARANTORS AND THE HOLDERS HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH.
