(b) The jurisdiction and waiver of jury trial provisions in Sections 9.10(b), 9.10(c), 9.10(d) and 9.11 of the Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement and shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to this Agreement.

SECTION 8. Confirmation of Guarantees and Security Interests. By signing this Agreement, each Loan Party hereby confirms that (a) the obligations of the Loan Parties under the Credit Agreement as modified or supplemented hereby (including with respect to the Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Commitments) contemplated by this Agreement) and the other Loan Documents (i) are entitled to the benefits of the guarantees and the security interests set forth or created in the Credit Agreement, the Loan Guaranty, the Security Agreements and the other Loan Documents, (ii) constitute “Obligations” and “Secured Obligations” as such terms are defined in the Credit Agreement, subject to the qualifications and exceptions described therein, (iii) notwithstanding the effectiveness of the terms hereof, the Loan Documents are, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects and (b) each Incremental Term Loan Lender and each Incremental Revolving Lender shall be a “Secured Party” and a “Lender” (including without limitation for purposes of the definition of “Required Lenders” contained in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement) for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Loan Party ratifies and confirms that all Liens granted, conveyed, or assigned to the Agent by such Person pursuant to any Loan Document to which it is a party remain in full force and effect, are not released or reduced, and continue to secure full payment and performance of the Secured Obligations as increased hereby, as contemplated by this Agreement.

SECTION 9. Credit Agreement Governs. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of any Lender or the Agent under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and shall not alter, modify, amend, novate or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, all of which are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect.

SECTION 10. Waiver. Neither the Agent nor any of its Affiliates shall be liable to the Borrowers, any other Loan Party, any Incremental Term Loan Lender, any Incremental Revolving Lender or any of their respective Affiliates, equity holders or debt holders for any losses, costs, damages or liabilities incurred, directly or indirectly, as a result of the Agent, or any of their respective Affiliates, taking any action in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and this Agreement, as applicable, except to the extent the Agent or its Affiliates would be liable for such losses, costs, damages or liabilities pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 11. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement shall become effective when it has been executed by the Borrowers, the other Loan Parties, the Agent, the Incremental Term Loan Lender and the Incremental Revolving Lender signatory hereto on the date hereof and when the Incremental Lead Arrangers have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or by email as a “.pdf” or “.tif” or similar attachment shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 12. Miscellaneous. This Agreement shall constitute a “Loan Document” for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Agreement are deemed incorporated into the Credit Agreement as if fully set forth therein. To the extent required by the Credit Agreement, each of the Borrowers and the Agent hereby consent to each Incremental Term Loan Lender and each Incremental Revolving Lender that is not a Lender as of the date hereof becoming a Lender under the Credit Agreement on the Amendment No. 3 Closing Date. For only the purpose of Section 9.05 of the Credit Agreement, the US Borrower, hereby consents to the assignments by UBS AG, Stamford Branch, in its capacity as an Incremental Term Loan Lender under this Agreement, in a manner otherwise in accordance with the Credit Agreement (as amended by this Agreement), of the Incremental Term Loans made by it on the Amendment No. 3 Closing Date solely to the institutions and solely in the amounts previously agreed upon by the Incremental Lead Arrangers and the US Borrower, and the Agent hereby waives the payment of any processing and recordation fee otherwise payable under Section 9.05(b)(ii)(C) in connection with such assignments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Section 12 shall not operate to consent to any assignment to a Disqualified Institution and any such assignment by UBS AG, Stamford Branch to a Disqualified Institution shall be prohibited and subject to the same remedies as set forth in Section 9.05(f) of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 13 Mortgage Amendments. With respect to each existing Mortgage, not later than 90 days after the Amendment No. 3 Closing Date (or such longer period as may be agreed by the Agent acting reasonably), the Borrowers shall cause the applicable Loan Parties to deliver to the Agent (a) an executed modification to each existing Mortgage, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, modifying any maximum secured amount stated therein and confirming that the Lien of such Mortgage secures the Incremental Term Loans and Loans made pursuant to the Incremental Revolving Commitments and otherwise ratifying and confirming the Lien of such Mortgage, and (b) a date down endorsement (or, to the extent not available in the applicable jurisdiction, a modification endorsement) to the applicable existing title insurance policy, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent; provided that the Borrowers may, in lieu of (a) and (b), deliver to the Agent written or e-mail confirmation from local counsel in the jurisdiction in which the applicable Material Real Estate Asset is located substantially to the effect that the existing Mortgage secures the Incremental Term Loans and Loans made pursuant to the Incremental Revolving Commitments and no modification needs to be recorded to ensure the continuation of the Lien or to ensure the priority of the Lien of such Mortgage is not adversely affected.

 

13


SECTION 14 Additional Amendments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended or supplemented by an agreement or agreements in writing, solely with the consent of the Incremental Lead Arrangers, Holdings and the Borrowers, without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender, to implement the “market flex” provisions set forth in the Fee Letter, and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or the consent of any other party to any Loan Document; provided, however, that the if the Requisite Incremental Lead Arrangers (as defined in the Fee Letter) at any time or from time to time on or prior to the earlier of (x) the achievement of a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter) with respect to the Incremental Term Facility and (y) the expiration of the Syndication Period (as defined in the Commitment Letter referenced in the Fee Letter) propose to effect the changes contemplated by such “market flex” provisions, Holdings and the Borrowers shall enter into such amendment within fifteen (15) Business Days (or such longer period as may be agreed by the Requisite Lead Arrangers) from the date of delivery to the Borrowers of a draft amendment reflecting the applicable “market flex” provisions permitted to be exercised under the Fee Letter; provided, that the Requisite Lead Arrangers shall use reasonable best efforts to effectuate any such amendment in a timely manner and such period may be extended as reasonably agreed among the Borrower and the Requisite Lead Arrangers. The Borrowers and Holdings hereby acknowledge that failure to enter into such an amendment or amendments pursuant to this Section 14 constitutes an Event of Default under Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement.
