Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Issuer and the General Partner that each of the following is true and correct on the Execution Date:

Section 6.1. Purchase for Investment. Such Purchaser is purchasing the Notes for its own account or for one or more separate accounts maintained by such Purchaser or for the account of one or more pension or trust funds and not with a view to the distribution thereof, provided that the disposition of such Purchaser’s or their property shall at all times be within such Purchaser’s or their control.

Section 6.2. Institutional Accredited Investor. Such Purchaser is an “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act) acting for its own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others are also “accredited investors”). Such Purchaser has had the opportunity to ask questions of the Issuer and received answers concerning the terms and conditions of the sale of the Notes.

Section 6.3. Source of Funds. At least one of the following statements is an accurate representation as to each source of funds (a “Source”) to be used by such Purchaser to pay the purchase price of the Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser hereunder:

(b) the Source is a separate account that is maintained solely in connection with such Purchaser’s fixed contractual obligations under which the amounts payable, or credited, to any employee benefit plan (or its related trust) that has any interest in such separate account (or to any participant or beneficiary of such plan (including any annuitant)) are not affected in any manner by the investment performance of the separate account; or

(c) the Source is either (1) an insurance company pooled separate account, within the meaning of PTE 90-1 or (2) a bank collective investment fund, within the meaning of the PTE 91-38 and, except as disclosed by such Purchaser to the Issuer in writing pursuant to this clause (c), no employee benefit plan or group of plans maintained by the same employer or employee organization beneficially owns more than 10% of all assets allocated to such pooled separate account or collective investment fund; or

(d) the Source constitutes assets of an “investment fund” (within the meaning of Part VI(b) of PTE 84-14 (the “QPAM Exemption”)) managed by a “qualified professional asset manager” or “QPAM” (within the meaning of Part VI(a) of the QPAM Exemption), no employee benefit plan’s assets that are managed by the QPAM in such investment fund, when combined with the assets of all other employee benefit plans established or maintained by the same employer or by an affiliate (within the meaning of Part VI(c)(1) of the QPAM Exemption) of such employer or by the same employee organization and managed by such QPAM, represent more than 20% of the total client assets managed by such QPAM, the conditions of Part I(c) and (g) of the QPAM Exemption are satisfied, neither the QPAM nor a Person controlling or controlled by the QPAM maintains an ownership interest in the Issuer that would cause the QPAM and the Issuer to be “related” within the meaning of Part VI(h) of the QPAM Exemption and (1) the identity of such QPAM and (2) the names of any employee benefit plans whose assets in the investment fund, when combined with the assets of all other employee benefit

plans established or maintained by the same employer or by an affiliate (within the meaning of Part VI(c)(1) of the QPAM Exemption) of such employer or by the same employee organization, represent 10% or more of the assets of such investment fund, have been disclosed to the Issuer in writing pursuant to this clause (d); or

(e) the Source constitutes assets of a “plan(s)” (within the meaning of Part IV(h) of PTE 96-23 (the “INHAM Exemption”)) managed by an “in-house asset manager” or “INHAM” (within the meaning of Part IV(a) of the INHAM Exemption), the conditions of Part I(a), (g) and (h) of the INHAM Exemption are satisfied, neither the INHAM nor a Person controlling or controlled by the INHAM (applying the definition of “control” in Part IV(d)(3) of the INHAM Exemption) owns a 10% or more interest in the Issuer and (1) the identity of such INHAM and (2) the name(s) of the employee benefit plan(s) whose assets constitute the Source have been disclosed to the Issuer in writing pursuant to this clause (e); or

(g) the Source is one or more employee benefit plans, or a separate account or trust fund comprised of one or more employee benefit plans, each of which has been identified to the Issuer in writing pursuant to this clause (g); or

(h) the Source does not include assets of any employee benefit plan, other than a plan exempt from the coverage of ERISA.

As used in this Section 6.2, the terms “employee benefit plan,” “governmental plan,” and “separate account” shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in sections 3(3), 3(32) and 3(17) of ERISA.

The Issuer will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it 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.

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 such Note is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the sum of (a) 0.50% 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 (1) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (2) 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 (i) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (ii) 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) 0.50% 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 (A) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (B) 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 (a) such Called Principal into (b) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (1) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (2) 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 such Note, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such 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 8.7. Offer to Prepay Notes in the Event of a Change in Control.

(a) Notice of Change in Control. The Issuer and the General Partner will, within five Business Days after any Responsible Officer of either thereof has knowledge of the occurrence of any Change in Control, give written notice of such Change in Control to each holder of Notes and such notice shall contain and constitute an offer by the Issuer to prepay Notes as described in Section 8.7(b) and shall be accompanied by the certificate described in Section 8.7(e).

(b) Offer to Prepay Notes. The offer to prepay Notes contemplated by Sections 8.7(a) shall be an offer to prepay, in accordance with and subject to this Section 8.7,

all, but not less than all, Notes held by each holder on a date specified in such offer (the “Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date”), which date shall be a Business Day not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days after the date of such offer (or if the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date shall not be specified in such offer, the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date shall be the Business Day nearest to the 30th day after the date of such offer).

(c) Acceptance; Rejection. A holder of Notes may accept or reject the offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.7 by causing a notice of such acceptance or rejection to be delivered to the Issuer at least five Business Days prior to the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date. A failure by a holder of Notes to so respond to an offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.7 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 8.7 shall be at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes accrued to the date of prepayment but without any Make-Whole Amount.

(e) Officer’s Certificate. Each offer to prepay the Notes pursuant to this Section 8.7 shall be accompanied by a certificate, executed by a Senior Financial Officer of the Issuer and dated the date of such offer, specifying (1) the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date, (2) that such offer is made pursuant to this Section 8.7 and that failure by a holder to respond to such offer by the deadline established in Section 8.7(c) shall result in such offer to such holder being deemed rejected, (3) the principal amount of each Note offered to be prepaid, (4) the interest that would be due on each Note offered to be prepaid, accrued to the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date, (5) that the conditions of this Section 8.7 have been fulfilled and (6) in reasonable detail, the nature and date of the Change in Control.

(1) the acquisition of ownership, directly or indirectly, beneficially or of record, by any person or group (within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules of the SEC thereunder as in effect on the Execution Date), of more than 40% of the aggregate voting power represented by the then outstanding voting stock of the General Partner; or

(2) the occupation of a majority of the seats (other than vacant seats) on the board of directors of the General Partner by Persons who were neither (i) nominated by the board of directors of the General Partner, (ii) appointed by directors so nominated, nor (iii) nominated by holders of the preferred stock in the General Partner pursuant to the terms of such stock.

Section 8.8. Optional Prepayment at Par. So long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, the Issuer may, at its option, upon notice as provided below, prepay either series of Notes in full at any time during the 90-day period immediately preceding the Maturity Date of

such series of Notes at 100% of the principal amount of all Notes of such series then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon to the date of prepayment. The Issuer will give each holder of Notes of the relevant series (with a copy to each holder of Notes of the other series) written notice of each optional prepayment pursuant to this Section 8.8 not less than 10 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment; provided that any prepayment of Notes under this Section 8.8 shall not occur prior to the 90th day preceding the Maturity Date of such series of Notes. Each such notice shall specifically refer to this Section 8.8 and shall specify the prepayment date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of the Notes of the relevant series to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Note held by such holder to be prepaid, and the accrued interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid.

Section 8.9. Payments Due on Non-Business Days. Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) except as set forth in clause (b), 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 (b) 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.

From the Execution Date until the Closing and thereafter, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Issuer and the General Partner covenant that:

Section 9.1. Compliance with Laws. Without limiting Section 10.4, the Issuer and the General Partner will, and will cause each of their 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 Issuer and the General Partner will, and will cause each of their 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 Issuer and the General Partner will, and will cause each of their Subsidiaries to, maintain and keep, or cause to be maintained and kept, their respective properties in good repair, working order and condition (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 the Issuer, the General Partner or any of their 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 Issuer and the General Partner 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 Issuer and the General Partner will, and will cause each of their Subsidiaries to, file all federal, material state and other material 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 Issuer, the General Partner or any of their Subsidiaries, provided that none of the Issuer, the General Partner or any of their Subsidiaries need pay any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim if (a) the amount, applicability or validity thereof is contested by such Person on a timely basis in good faith and in appropriate proceedings, and such Person has established adequate reserves therefor in accordance with GAAP on its books or (b) 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. The Issuer and the General Partner will at all times preserve and keep their respective partnership or corporate existence in full force and effect. Subject to Section 10.2, the Issuer and the General Partner will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect the corporate or other legal existence of each of their Subsidiaries and all rights and franchises of the Issuer and the General Partner and their Subsidiaries unless, in the good faith judgment of the Issuer and the General Partner, the termination of or failure to preserve and keep in full force and effect such corporate or other existence, right or franchise could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.6. Books and Records. The Issuer and the General Partner will, and will cause each of their 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 such Person, as the case may be. The Issuer and the General Partner will, and will cause each of their Subsidiaries to, keep books, records and accounts which, in reasonable detail, accurately reflect all transactions and dispositions of assets. The Issuer, the General Partner and each of 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 Issuer and the General Partner will, and will cause each of their Subsidiaries to, continue to maintain such system.

Section 9.7. REIT Status. The General Partner shall maintain its status as, and election to be treated as, a REIT under the Code.

Section 9.8. Exchange Listing. The General Partner will maintain at least one class of its common shares having trading privileges on the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange or which is the subject of price quotations in the over-the-counter market as reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System.

(a) The Issuer and the General Partner will cause each of their Subsidiaries 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:

(1) enter into an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders providing for the guarantee by such Subsidiary, on a joint and several basis with all other such Subsidiaries, of (i) the prompt payment in full when due of all amounts payable by the Issuer 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 Issuer hereunder or thereunder and (ii) the prompt, full and faithful performance, observance and discharge by the Issuer and the General Partner of each and every covenant, agreement, undertaking and provision required pursuant to the Notes or this Agreement to be performed, observed or discharged by such Person (a “Subsidiary Guaranty”); and

(ii) to the extent required or otherwise provided in connection with such Subsidiary guaranteeing or otherwise becoming liable with respect to any Indebtedness under any Material Credit Facility, 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 and 5.19 of this Agreement (but with respect to such Subsidiary and such Subsidiary Guaranty rather than the Issuer and the General Partner);

(iii) to the extent required or otherwise provided in connection with such Subsidiary guaranteeing or otherwise becoming liable with respect to any Indebtedness under any Material Credit Facility, 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 Subsidiary Guaranty and the performance by such Subsidiary of its obligations thereunder; and

(iv) to the extent required or otherwise provided in connection with such Subsidiary guaranteeing or otherwise becoming liable with respect to any Indebtedness under any Material Credit Facility, an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders covering such matters relating to such Subsidiary and such Subsidiary Guaranty as the Required Holders may reasonably request.

(b) At the request of the Issuer and the General Partner and by written notice to each holder of Notes, any Subsidiary Guarantor that has provided a Subsidiary Guaranty pursuant to Section 9.9(a) shall be discharged from all of its obligations and liabilities under its Subsidiary 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 (1) 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 Subsidiary Guaranty) under such Material Credit Facility, (2) at the time of, and after giving effect to, such release and discharge, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (3) no amount is then due and payable under its Subsidiary Guaranty, (4) 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 (5) each holder shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Issuer and the General Partner certifying as to the matters set forth in clauses (1) through (4).

Although it will not be a Default or an Event of Default if the Issuer or the General Partner fails to comply with any provision of Section 9 on or after the Execution Date and prior to the Closing, if such a failure occurs, then any of the Purchasers may elect not to purchase the Notes on the date of Closing that is specified in Section 3.

From the Execution Date until the Closing and thereafter, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Issuer and the General Partner covenant that:

Section 10.1. Transactions with Affiliates. Neither the Issuer nor the General Partner will, or will permit any of their Subsidiaries 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 Issuer, the General Partner or another of their Subsidiaries), except in the ordinary course and pursuant to the reasonable requirements of the Issuer’s, the General Partner’s or such Subsidiary’s business and upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to the Issuer, the General Partner or such Subsidiary than would be obtainable in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person not an Affiliate.

Neither the Issuer nor the General Partner will enter into any merger, consolidation, reorganization or liquidation or transfer or otherwise dispose of all or a substantial portion of its properties, except for such transactions (a) that occur between Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries, (b) where the Issuer and the General Partner are the surviving entities and there is no change in business conducted or loss of an Investment Grade Rating, and no Default or Event of Default results from such transaction or (c) as are otherwise approved in advance by the Required Holders. To the extent not reported on the General Partner’s Form 8-K filings, the Issuer will notify the holders of Notes of any single event acquisition (whether individually or consummated as a series of related acquisitions pursuant to documentation closed concurrently), disposition, merger or asset purchase involving assets valued in excess of 25% of the then current Market Value Net Worth and certify compliance with the covenants contained in Section 10.8 after giving effect to such proposed acquisition, disposition, merger or asset purchase.

(a) Neither the Issuer nor the General Partner will engage in any business if, as a result, the general nature of the business in which the Issuer and the General Partner, taken as a whole, would then be engaged would be substantially changed from the general nature of the business in which the Issuer and the General Partner, taken as a whole, are engaged on the Execution Date as described in the Memorandum.

(b) Neither the Issuer nor any of its Subsidiaries or Investment Affiliates will undertake any business other than the acquisition, development, ownership, management, operation and leasing of industrial properties and ancillary businesses specifically related thereto, except that the Issuer and its Subsidiaries and Investment Affiliates may invest in other assets subject to the limitations contained herein with respect to the following specified categories of assets: (1) Unimproved Land; (2) other property holdings (excluding cash, Cash Equivalents, non-industrial Properties and Indebtedness of any Subsidiary to the Issuer); (3) stock holdings other than in Subsidiaries of the Issuer; (4) mortgage notes receivable; (5) unconsolidated joint ventures and partnerships and (6) Assets Under Development. The total investment (i) in the investment category described in clause (1) above shall not exceed 10% of Implied Capitalization Value, (ii) in the investment category described in clause (4) above shall not exceed 5% of Implied Capitalization Value and (iii) in all the foregoing investment categories shall not exceed 20% of Implied Capitalization Value.

Section 10.5. Change of Management of Properties. Neither the Issuer nor the General Partner will change the management of the Properties, except that (a) any Affiliate of the Issuer or the General Partner shall be permitted to manage any of the Properties and (b) the Issuer, the General Partner or any of their Subsidiaries may engage and/or replace third-party property managers with respect to any Property, provided that the aggregate book value of all Properties at any one time under third-party management shall not exceed 30% of the aggregate book value of all of the Properties at such time.

Section 10.6. Change of Issuer Ownership. Neither the Issuer nor the General Partner will allow (a) the General Partner to own less than 51% of the partnership interests in the Issuer, (b) the General Partner not to be the sole General Partner of the Issuer, (c) the Issuer to be controlled by a Person other than the General Partner or (d) any pledge of, other encumbrance on, or conversion to limited partnership interests of, any of the general partnership interests in the Issuer.

Section 10.7. Liens. Neither the Issuer nor the General Partner will, or will permit any of their Subsidiaries to, create, incur, or suffer to exist any Lien in, of or on the Property of any member of the Consolidated Operating Partnership other than:

(a) Liens for taxes, assessments or governmental charges or levies on their Property if the same shall not at the time be delinquent or thereafter can be paid without penalty, or are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves shall have been set aside on their books;

(b) Liens which arise by operation of law, such as carriers’, warehousemen’s, landlords’, materialmen and mechanics’ liens and other similar liens arising in the ordinary course of business which secure payment of obligations not more than 30 days past due or which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves shall have been set aside on its books;

(c) Liens arising out of pledges or deposits under worker’s compensation laws, unemployment insurance, old age pensions, or other social security or retirement benefits, or similar legislation;

(d) utility easements, building restrictions, zoning restrictions, easements and such other encumbrances or charges against real property as are of a nature generally existing with respect to properties of a similar character and which do not in any material way affect the marketability of the same or interfere with the use thereof in the business of the Issuer, the General Partner or their Subsidiaries;

(f) so long as immediately prior to the creation, assumption or incurring of such Lien, and immediately thereafter, no Default or Event of Default would be in existence, Liens on Properties securing Indebtedness not prohibited hereunder, provided,

that notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Issuer nor the General Partner will, or will permit any of their Subsidiaries to, secure pursuant to this Section 10.7(f) any Indebtedness outstanding under or pursuant to any Material Credit Facility unless and until the Notes (and the Guaranty, any Subsidiary Guaranty and any other guarantee delivered in connection therewith) shall concurrently be secured equally and ratably with such Indebtedness pursuant to documentation reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders in substance and in form, including an intercreditor agreement and opinions of counsel to the Issuer, the General Partner and/or any such Subsidiary, as the case may be, from counsel that is reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders.

Liens permitted pursuant to this Section 10.7 shall be deemed to be “Permitted Liens.”

Section 10.8. Indebtedness and Cash Flow Covenants. Neither the Issuer nor the General Partner will permit or suffer:

(a) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Issuer and the General Partner, the ratio of (1) the sum of (i) EBITDA of the Consolidated Operating Partnership plus (ii) interest income (other than any interest income from assets being used to support Defeased Debt) to (2) the sum of (i) Debt Service plus, without duplication, (ii) all payments on account of preferred stock or preferred partnership units of any member of the Consolidated Operating Partnership plus (iii) all Ground Lease Payments payable by any member of the Consolidated Operating Partnership to the extent not deducted as an expense in calculating EBITDA of the Consolidated Operating Partnership, to be less than 1.50 to 1.00, with all such calculations in clauses (1) and (2) above based on the results of the four consecutive fiscal quarters of the Issuer and the General Partner then ended;

(b) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Issuer and the General Partner, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio to exceed 60%;

(c) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Issuer and the General Partner, the ratio of Value of Unencumbered Assets to Consolidated Senior Unsecured Debt to be less than 1.67 to 1.00;

(d) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Issuer and the General Partner, Consolidated Secured Debt to exceed 40% of Implied Capitalization Value; or

(e) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Issuer and the General Partner, the ratio of (1) Property Operating Income from Unencumbered Assets that are not Assets Under Development for such fiscal quarter to (2) interest expense on all Consolidated Senior Unsecured Debt for such fiscal quarter to be less than 1.75 to 1.00 (the “Unsecured Interest Coverage Ratio”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Unsecured Interest Coverage Ratio shall be deemed automatically (i) amended or waived in this Agreement at such time as each holder of a Note shall have received notice in writing from the Issuer certifying that (A) the “unsecured interest coverage ratio” shall have been so amended or waived under the Bank Credit Agreement (or, if at such time the Bank Credit Agreement does not exist, under each applicable Material Credit

Facility) and (B) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, provided that, if any such amendment has the effect of making the Unsecured Interest Coverage Ratio more restrictive on the Issuer and the General Partner, then such amendment shall be immediately effective regardless of whether such notice has then been delivered and (ii) deleted from this Agreement at such time as each holder of a Note shall have received notice in writing from the Issuer certifying that (A) the “unsecured interest coverage ratio” shall have been deleted from the Bank Credit Agreement (or, if at such time the Bank Credit Agreement does not exist, from each applicable Material Credit Facility) or that the Bank Credit Agreement shall have been terminated and that no amounts are outstanding thereunder and that no other Material Credit Facility includes an “unsecured interest coverage ratio” and (B) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. If the Issuer, the General Partner or any of their Subsidiaries shall pay any fee or other compensation to any Person party to the Bank Credit Agreement or, if applicable, any Material Credit Facility, as an inducement to receiving any consent, amendment, waiver, deletion or termination with respect to the “unsecured interest coverage ratio” as aforesaid, such consent, amendment, waiver, deletion or termination with respect to the Unsecured Interest Coverage Ratio shall not become effective under this Agreement until the holders of the Notes receive equivalent consideration.

The foregoing covenants set forth in paragraphs (c) and (e) above shall be tested at the end of each fiscal quarter of the Issuer and the General Partner (for the applicable reporting period) and on a pro forma basis upon any Asset Sale or incurrence of any Indebtedness by the Consolidated Operating Partnership (using the latest quarterly financial statements then available and taking into account the proposed Asset Sale and/or incurrence of Indebtedness). To the extent the Consolidated Operating Partnership has Defeased Debt, both the underlying debt and interest payable thereon and the financial assets used to defease such debt and interest earned thereon shall be excluded from calculations of the foregoing financial covenants. All financial computations required under Sections 10.8(a) through (d), inclusive, shall be made in accordance with GAAP as in effect on the Execution Date (“Static GAAP”); provided that, if as a result of any change in GAAP from time to time, any of the financial covenants contained in Sections 10.8(a) through 10.8(d), inclusive, or any of the defined terms used therein are determined by the Required Holders to differ from Static GAAP, the Issuer and the General Partner shall include relevant reconciliations in reasonable detail between GAAP and Static GAAP with respect to the applicable covenant compliance calculations contained in each certificate of a Senior Financial Officer delivered pursuant to Section 7.2(a) after the date of such request.

Section 10.9. Negative Pledge. Neither the Issuer nor the General Partner will, or will permit any of their Subsidiaries to, allow any “negative pledge” on any Project then included in Unencumbered Assets restricting the Issuer’s (or any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary’s) right to sell or encumber such Project to be given to any other lender or creditor other than a Permitted Negative Pledge or, if such a negative pledge is given, the Project affected shall be immediately excluded from Unencumbered Assets.

Section 10.10. Distributions. The Issuer will not make any distributions to the General Partner and the General Partner will not make distributions to its shareholders if, at the time of the making of such distribution, an Event of Default then exists under Section 11(a) or 11(b) or an

Event of Default arising from a breach of a financial covenant contained in Section 10.8 has occurred and is continuing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall be permitted to make distributions to the General Partner and the General Partner shall be permitted at all times to make distributions of whatever amount is necessary to maintain its tax status as a REIT.

Although it will not be a Default or an Event of Default if the Issuer or the General Partner fails to comply with any provision of Section 10 before or after giving effect to the issuance of the Notes on a pro forma basis, if such a failure occurs, then any of the Purchasers may elect not to purchase the Notes on the date of Closing that is specified in Section 3.

An “Event of Default” shall exist if any of the following conditions or events shall occur and be continuing:

(a) the Issuer defaults in the payment of any principal or Make-Whole Amount, on any Note when the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or at a date fixed for prepayment or by declaration or otherwise; or

(b) the Issuer defaults in the payment of any interest on any Note for more than five days after the same becomes due and payable; or

The Issuer acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each holder of a Note has the right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from repayment by the Issuer (except as herein specifically provided for) and that the provision for payment of a Make-Whole Amount by the Issuer in the event that the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation of such right under such circumstances.

Section 12.2. Other Remedies. If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become or have been declared immediately due and payable under Section 12.1, the holder of any Note at the time outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any Note or any Subsidiary Guaranty, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise.

Section 12.4. No Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, Etc. No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement, any Subsidiary 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. Without limiting the obligations of the Issuer and the General Partner under Section 16, the Issuer will pay to the holder of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all documented, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such holder incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 12, including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements.

Section 13.1. The Guarantee. The General Partner hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, to each holder of a Note (a) the full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest (including any interest accruing after the commencement of any proceeding in bankruptcy and any additional interest that would accrue but for the commencement of such proceeding) on the Notes and all other obligations of the Issuer under this Agreement and (b) the full and prompt performance and observance by the Issuer of each and all of the obligations, covenants and agreements required to be performed or observed by the Issuer under the terms of this Agreement and the Notes (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Obligations”). The General Partner further agrees (to the extent permitted by applicable law) that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from it, and that it shall remain bound under this Section 13 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation.

Section 13.2. Waiver of Defenses. The General Partner waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Issuer of any of the Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. The General Partner waives notice of any default under this Agreement, the Notes or the other Obligations. The obligation of the General Partner hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of any holder of a Note to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Issuer or any other Person (including any Subsidiary Guarantor) under this Agreement, the Notes, any Subsidiary Guaranty or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, the Notes, any Subsidiary Guaranty or any other

agreement; (d) the acceptance of any security or guarantee (including any Subsidiary Guaranty) by any holder of a Note for the Obligations or any of them; (e) the release of any security or guarantee (including any Subsidiary Guaranty) held by any holder of a Note for the Obligations or any of them; (f) the release of the Issuer, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person from its liability with respect to the Obligations; (g) any act or failure to act with regard to the Obligations; (h) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets, marshalling of assets and liabilities, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization or arrangement under bankruptcy or similar laws, composition with creditors or readjustment of, or other similar procedure affecting the Issuer, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person or any of the assets of any of them, or any allegation or contest of the validity of this Agreement, the Notes, any Subsidiary Guaranty or any other agreement or the disaffirmance of this Agreement or the Notes or any Subsidiary Guaranty or any other agreement in any such proceeding; (i) the invalidity or unenforceability of this Agreement, the Notes, any Subsidiary Guaranty or any other agreement; (j) the impossibility or illegality of performance on the part of the Issuer, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person of its obligations under the Notes, this Agreement, any Subsidiary Guaranty or any other instrument or agreement; (k) in respect of the Issuer, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person, any change of circumstances, whether or not foreseen or foreseeable, whether or not imputable to the Issuer, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person, or other impossibility of performance through fire, explosion, accident, labor disturbance, floods, droughts, embargoes, wars (whether or not declared), acts of terrorists, civil commotions, acts of God or the public enemy, delays or failures of suppliers or carriers, inability to obtain materials, action of any Governmental Authority, change of law or any other causes affecting performance, or other force majeure, whether or not beyond the control of the Issuer, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person and whether or not of the kind above specified; or (l) any change in the ownership of the Issuer.

It being understood that the specific enumeration of the above-mentioned acts, failures or omissions shall not be deemed to exclude any other acts, failures or omissions, though not specifically mentioned above, it being the purpose and intent of this Section 13.2 that the obligations of the General Partner shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable to the extent herein specified and shall not be discharged, impaired or varied except by the payment of the Obligations and then only to the extent of such payment.

Section 13.3. Guarantee of Payment. The General Partner further agrees that the guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any holder of a Note to any other Person or to any security held for payment of the Obligations.

Section 13.4. Guarantee Unconditional. The obligations of the General Partner hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the Obligations in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the General Partner herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any holder of a Note to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any

remedy under this Agreement, the Notes, any Subsidiary Guaranty or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the General Partner or would otherwise operate as a discharge of the General Partner as a matter of law or equity.

Section 13.5. Reinstatement. The General Partner further agrees that the guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any holder of a Note upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise.

Section 13.6. Payment on Demand. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any holder of a Note has at law or in equity against the General Partner by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuer to pay any of the Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, the General Partner hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by any holder of a Note, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the holders an amount equal to the sum of (a) the unpaid amount of such Obligations then due and owing and (b) accrued and unpaid interest on such Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not prohibited by applicable law).

The General Partner acknowledges and agrees that repeated and successive demands may be made and recoveries may be had hereunder as and when, from time to time, the Issuer shall default under the terms of a Note or this Agreement and that notwithstanding recovery hereunder for or in respect of any given Default or Event of Default, the guarantee contained in this Section 13 shall remain in full force and effect and shall apply to each and every subsequent Default or Event of Default.

Section 13.7. Stay of Acceleration. The General Partner further agrees that, as between itself, on the one hand, and the holders of the Notes, on the other hand, (a) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Agreement for the purposes of the guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereby and (b) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Obligations, such Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the General Partner for the purposes of this guarantee.

Section 13.8. No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the General Partner hereunder, the General Partner shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of any holder of a Note against the Issuer or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by any holder for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall the General Partner seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of payments made by the General Partner hereunder, until all amounts owing to the holders of the Notes by the Issuer on account of the Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to the General Partner on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by the General Partner in trust for the holders of the Notes, segregated from other funds of the General Partner, and shall,

forthwith upon receipt by the General Partner, be turned over to the holders of the Notes in the exact form received by the General Partner (duly indorsed by the General Partner to the holders of the Notes, if required), to be applied against the Obligations.

Section 13.9. Marshalling. No holder of a Note shall be under any obligation: (a) to marshal any assets in favor of the General Partner or in payment of any or all of the liabilities of the Issuer under or in respect of the Notes and this Agreement or the obligations of the General Partner hereunder or (b) to pursue any other remedy that the General Partner may or may not be able to pursue itself and that may lighten the General Partner’s burden, any right to which the General Partner hereby expressly waives.

Section 13.10. Transfer of Notes. All rights of any holder of a Note under this Section 13 shall be considered to be transferred or assigned at any time or from time to time upon the transfer of any Note held by such holder whether with or without the consent of or notice to the General Partner under this Section 13 or to the Issuer.

Section 13.11. Consideration. The General Partner has received, or shall receive, direct or indirect benefits from the making of this guarantee.

Section 14.1. Registration of Notes. The Issuer shall keep at its principal executive office a register for the registration and registration of transfers of Notes. The name and address of each holder of one or more Notes, each transfer thereof and the name and address of each transferee of one or more Notes shall be registered in such register. If any holder of one or more Notes is a nominee, then (a) the name and address of the beneficial owner of such Note or Notes shall also be registered in such register as an owner and holder thereof and (b) at any such beneficial owner’s option, either such beneficial owner or its nominee may execute any amendment, waiver or consent pursuant to this Agreement. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Person in whose name any Note shall be registered shall be deemed and treated as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes hereof, and the Issuer shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary. The Issuer shall give to any holder of a Note that is an Institutional Investor promptly upon request therefor, a complete and correct copy of the names and addresses of all registered holders of Notes.

Section 14.2. Transfer and Exchange of Notes. Upon surrender of any Note to the Issuer at the address and to the attention of the designated officer (all as specified in Section 19(3)), 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 Issuer shall execute and deliver, at the Issuer’s expense (except as provided below), one or more new Notes of the same series (as requested by the holder thereof) in exchange therefor, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the surrendered Note. Each such new Note shall be payable to such Person as such holder may request and shall be substantially in the form of Schedule 1(a) or Schedule 1(b), as applicable. Each such new Note shall be dated and bear interest from the date to which interest

shall have been paid on the surrendered Note or dated the date of the surrendered Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon. The Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or governmental charge imposed in respect of any such transfer of Notes. Notes shall not be transferred in denominations of less than $100,000, provided that if necessary to enable the registration of transfer by a holder of its entire holding of Notes of a series, one Note of such series may be in a denomination of less than $100,000.

(b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof, within 10 Business Days thereafter, the Issuer at its own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note of the same series, 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.

Subject to Section 15.2, payments of principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest becoming due and payable on the Notes shall be made in New York, New York at the principal office of Bank of America, N.A. in such jurisdiction. The Issuer may at any time, by notice to each holder of a Note, change the place of payment of the Notes so long as such place of payment shall be either the principal office of the Issuer in such jurisdiction or the principal office of a bank or trust company in such jurisdiction.

Section 15.2. 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 15.1 or in such Note to the contrary, the Issuer 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 Issuer 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 Issuer 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 Issuer at its principal executive office or at the place of payment most recently designated by the Issuer pursuant to Section 15.1. 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 Issuer in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to Section 14.2. The Issuer will afford the benefits of this Section 15.2 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 15.2.

SECTION 15.3. FATCA Information. By acceptance of any Note, the holder of such Note agrees that such holder will with reasonable promptness duly complete and deliver to the Issuer, or to such other Person as may be reasonably requested by the Issuer, from time to time (a) in the case of any such holder that is a United States Person, such holder’s United States tax identification number or other forms reasonably requested by the Issuer necessary to establish such holder’s status as a United States Person under FATCA and as may otherwise be necessary for the Issuer to comply with its obligations under FATCA and (b) in the case of any such holder that is not a United States Person, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation as may be necessary for the Issuer to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such holder has complied with such holder’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from any such payment made to such holder. Nothing in this Section 15.3 shall require any holder to provide information that is confidential or proprietary to such holder unless the Issuer is required to obtain such information under FATCA and, in such event, the Issuer shall treat any such information it receives as confidential.

Section 16.1. Transaction Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Issuer and the General Partner will pay all documented costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees of one special counsel for the Purchasers and holders of Notes, as a whole and, if reasonably required by the Required Holders, one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and/or one specialty counsel in any applicable specialty for the Purchasers and holders of Notes, as a whole) incurred by the Purchasers and each other holder of a Note in connection with such transactions and in connection with any amendments, waivers or consents under or in respect of this Agreement, any Subsidiary Guaranty or the Notes (whether or not such amendment, waiver or consent becomes effective), including: (a) the costs and expenses incurred in enforcing or defending (or determining whether or how to enforce or defend) any rights under this Agreement, any Subsidiary Guaranty or the Notes or in responding to any subpoena or other legal process or informal investigative demand issued in connection with this Agreement, any Subsidiary Guaranty or the Notes, or by reason of being a holder of any Note, (b) the costs and expenses, including financial advisors’ fees, incurred in connection with the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, the General Partner or any of their Subsidiaries or in connection with any work-out or restructuring of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Notes and by any Subsidiary Guaranty and (c) the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the initial filing of this Agreement and all related documents and financial information with the SVO, provided that such costs and expenses under this clause (c) shall not exceed $6,500, provided that if there is a conflict of interest between any Purchaser or holder of a Note and one

If required by the NAIC, the Issuer shall obtain and maintain at its own cost and expense a Legal Entity Identifier (LEI).

The Issuer and the General Partner will pay, and will save each Purchaser and each other holder of a Note harmless from, (1) all claims in respect of any fees, costs or expenses, if any, of brokers and finders (other than those, if any, retained by a Purchaser or other holder in connection with its purchase of the Notes) and (2) any and all wire transfer fees that any bank or other financial institution deducts from any payment under such Note to such holder or otherwise charges to a holder of a Note with respect to a payment under such Note.

All representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes, 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 the Issuer or the General Partner pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties of such Person under this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement, the Notes and any Subsidiary Guaranty embody the entire agreement and understanding between each Purchaser and, the Issuer and the General Partner and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.

Section 18.1. 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 Issuer, the General Partner and the Required Holders, except that:

(a) no amendment or waiver of any of Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 22 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; and

(b) no amendment or waiver may, without the written consent of each Purchaser and the holder of each Note at the time outstanding, (1) 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 (i) interest on the Notes or (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, (2) 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 (3) amend any of Section 8 (except as set forth in the second sentence of Section 8.2), 11(a), 11(b), 12, 13, 18 or 21.

(a) Solicitation. The Issuer and the General Partner 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 Purchaser or 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 of any Subsidiary Guaranty. The Issuer and the General Partner will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to this Section 18 or any Subsidiary 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 Issuer nor the General Partner 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 any 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 Subsidiary 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 holder of a Note even if such Purchaser or holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment.

(c) Consent in Contemplation of Transfer. Any consent given pursuant to this Section 18 or any Subsidiary Guaranty by a holder of a Note that has transferred or has

agreed to transfer its Note to (1) the Issuer, (2) the General Partner, (3) any Subsidiary or any other Affiliate of the Issuer or the General Partner or (4) any other Person in connection with, or in anticipation of, such other Person acquiring, making a tender offer for or merging with the Issuer, the General Partner and/or any of their Affiliates 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 18.3. Binding Effect, Etc. Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 18 or any Subsidiary 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 Issuer and the General Partner 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 Issuer, the General Partner and any Purchaser or any holder of a Note and no delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Note or any Subsidiary Guaranty shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any Purchaser or any holder of such Note.

Section 18.4. Notes Held by the Issuer or the General Partner, 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 Subsidiary Guaranty or the Notes, or have directed the taking of any action provided herein or in any Subsidiary 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 Issuer, the General Partner or any of their Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding.

Except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 7.4, 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 an internationally recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), (b) by registered or certified mail with return receipt requested (postage prepaid), or (c) by an internationally recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid). Any such notice must be sent:

(1) if to any Purchaser or its nominee, to such Purchaser or nominee at the address specified for such communications in the Purchaser Schedule, or at such other address as such Purchaser or nominee shall have specified to the Issuer and the General Partner in writing,

(2) if to any other holder of any Note, to such holder at such address as such other holder shall have specified to the Issuer and the General Partner in writing, or

(3) if to the Issuer or the General Partner, to such Person at its address set forth at the beginning hereof to the attention of its Chief Financial Officer and its General Counsel, or at such other address as such Person shall have specified to the Purchaser and holders of the Notes in writing.

This Agreement and all documents relating hereto, including (a) consents, waivers and modifications that may hereafter be executed, (b) documents received by any Purchaser on the Execution Date or 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 Issuer and the General Partner agree and stipulate 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 20 shall not prohibit the Issuer, the General Partner or any other Purchaser or 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.

For the purposes of this Section 21, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser by or on behalf of the Issuer, the General Partner or any of their Subsidiaries 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 adequately identified when received by such Purchaser as being confidential information of the Issuer, the General Partner or any such Subsidiary, 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 Issuer, the General Partner or any of their 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 (1) its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, trustees and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably

relates to the administration of the investment represented by its Notes and, in the case of its agents, outside attorneys, trustees and affiliates, provided such recipient is notified of its obligation to maintain the confidentiality of such information), (2) its auditors, financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with this Section 21, (3) any other holder of any Note, (4) 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 this Section 21), (5) any Person from which it offers to purchase any Security of the Issuer or the General Partner (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 21), (6) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser, (7) 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 (8) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (i) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser, (ii) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (iii) in connection with any litigation to which such Purchaser is a party or (iv) 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 Subsidiary Guaranty, provided that in the case of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law, rule, regulation or order, but in each case subject to clause (iv) above, such Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Issuer and the General Partner prior to such disclosure. No Purchaser shall use, or disclose to others for the purpose of using, Confidential Information for purposes of trading in the Issuer’s or the General Partner’s Securities in violation of applicable Securities laws. 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 21 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by the Issuer or the General Partner 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 Issuer and the General Partner embodying this Section 21.

In the event that as a condition to receiving access to information relating to the Issuer, the General Partner or any of 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 21, this Section 21 shall not be amended thereby and, as between such Purchaser or such holder and the Issuer and/or the General Partner, this Section 21 shall supersede any such other confidentiality undertaking.

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 Issuer

and the General Partner, 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 22), 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 Issuer and the General Partner of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Substitute Purchaser as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 22), 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 23.1. 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, neither the Issuer nor the General Partner may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under the Notes without the prior written consent of each holder. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 23.2. Accounting Terms. All accounting terms used herein which are not expressly defined in this Agreement have the meanings respectively given to them in accordance with GAAP. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, (a) all computations made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in accordance with GAAP and (b) all financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of determining compliance with this Agreement (including Section 9, Section 10 and the definition of “Indebtedness”), any election by the Issuer and/or the General Partner to measure any financial liability using fair value (as permitted by FASB ASC Topic No. 825-10-25 – Fair Value Option, International Accounting Standard 39 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or any similar accounting standard) shall be disregarded and such determination shall be made as if such election had not been made.

Section 23.3. 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.

Section 23.4. 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 14, (b) subject to Section 23.1, 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.

Section 23.5. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. 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 23.6. 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.

(a) The Issuer and the General Partner irrevocably submit 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 or the Notes. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Issuer and the General Partner irrevocably waive and agree 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) The Issuer and the General Partner 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 23.7(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 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 Issuer and the General Partner 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 23.7(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 19 or at such other address of which such holder shall then have been notified pursuant to said Section. The Issuer and the General Partner agree that such service upon receipt (1) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (2) 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.

(d) Nothing in this Section 23.7 shall affect the right of any holder of a Note to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the holders of any of the Notes may have to bring proceedings against the Issuer and/or the General Partner in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.

(e) The parties hereto hereby waive trial by jury in any action brought on or with respect to this Agreement, the Notes or any other document executed in connection herewith or therewith.

If you are in agreement with the foregoing, please sign the form of agreement on a counterpart of this Agreement and return it to the Issuer and the General Partner, whereupon this Agreement shall become a binding agreement between you and the Issuer and the General Partner.
