Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

On May 2, 2022, Plymouth Industrial OP, LP (the “Borrower”), the operating partnership subsidiary of Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc. (the “Company”), and the guarantors named therein, including the Company, entered into a Second Amendment, Increase and Joinder Agreement to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”) as administrative agent, on behalf of itself and the other lenders that are parties thereto, and KeyBanc Capital Markets, as sole lead arranger and sole book manager (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement, as amended, provides the Borrower with a $350 million revolving credit facility and two term loans, one for $100 million (the “2026 Term Loan”) and the other for $150 million (the “2027 Term Loan”), with an accordion feature that allows the total borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Credit Agreement (as defined below) to be increased to $1 billion, subject to certain conditions. Under the Credit Agreement, as amended, the revolving credit facility matures in August 2025 with two, six-month extension options, subject to certain conditions. The 2026 Term Loan matures in August 2026, and the 2027 Term Loan matures in May 2027. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement, as amended, bear interest at either (1) the base rate (determined as the highest of (a) KeyBank’s prime rate, (b) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% and (c) the Adjusted Term SOFR for a one month tenor plus 1.0% or (2) SOFR, plus, in either case, a spread (A) between 35 and 90 basis points for revolver base rate loans or between 135 and 190 basis points for revolver SOFR rate loans and (B) between 30 and 85 basis points for term base rate loans or between 130 and 185 basis points for term SOFR rate loans, with the amount of the spread depending on the Borrower’s total leverage ratio.

On May 2, 2022, the Borrower and the guarantors named therein, including the Company, entered into a First Amendment and Joinder to Term Loan Credit Agreement with KeyBank, as administrative agent, on behalf of itself and the other lenders that are parties thereto, and KeyBanc Capital Markets and Capital One, National Association as joint lead arrangers and book managers (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement” and, together with the Credit Agreement, the “Credit Facilities”). The Term Loan Credit Agreement provides the Borrower with a $200 million term loan. The Term Loan Credit Agreement matures in February 2027. Borrowings under the Term Loan Credit Agreement, as amended, bear interest at the same rates as term loan borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Facilities are unsecured; however, the borrowing capacity under the Credit Facilities is subject to the maintenance of a certain number of unencumbered properties, as defined in the Credit Facilities. The Credit Facilities contain customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type, including limitations with respect to indebtedness, liens, investments, distributions, mergers and acquisitions, dispositions of assets and transactions with affiliates. The covenants limit the Borrower’s use of proceeds to, among other things, repaying existing loans, funding acquisitions of additional properties, funding capital and construction expenditures, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and property and equipment acquisitions and for general working capital purposes. The Credit Facilities also contain financial covenants that require, among other things, the Borrower and the Company to maintain (1) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.50 to 1.0, (2) a maximum total indebtedness to total asset value of 60% and (3) a minimum consolidated tangible net worth of $442,860,019, plus 75% of any future issuance of equity by either the Company or the Borrower and 75% of the equity in any contributed real estate. In addition, the secured debt of the Company and the Borrower may not exceed 40% of total asset value and the ratio of their unsecured indebtedness to the value of their unencumbered properties may not exceed 60%.

In the event of a default by the Borrower under the Credit Facilities, the agent may, and at the request of the requisite number of lenders, shall, declare all obligations under the Credit Facilities immediately due and payable, terminate the lenders’ commitments to make loans under the Credit Facilities and enforce any and all rights of the lenders or the agent under the Credit Facilities and related documents.

Copies of the Credit Agreement, as amended, and the Term Loan Credit Agreement, as amended, are attached to this current report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and are incorporated by reference as though they were fully set forth herein. The foregoing summary descriptions of the Credit Agreement, as amended, and the Term Loan Credit Agreement, as amended, and the transactions contemplated thereby are not intended to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the complete text of the Credit Agreement, as amended, and the Term Loan Credit Agreement, as amended, as applicable.

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

On May 2, 2022, the Borrower used a portion of the proceeds from borrowings under the Credit Agreement, as amended, to repay its outstanding obligations under the revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement. The previous revolving credit obligations bore interest at a rate of 2.0% per annum.

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On May 4, 2022, Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release (the “Earnings Release”) announcing, among other things, earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The text of the Earnings Release is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report.

§1.5Amendment and Restatement; Reallocation of Lender Pro Rata Shares.

(a)The parties to this Agreement agree that, upon (i) the execution and delivery by each of the parties hereto of this Agreement and (ii) satisfaction of the conditions set forth in §10 and §11, the terms and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be and hereby are amended, superseded and restated in their entirety by the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

(b)On the Closing Date, the Outstanding Loans and related Obligations made under the Existing Credit Agreement (after giving effect to any repayments thereof made on such date) shall be deemed to have been made under this Agreement, without the execution by the Borrower or the Lenders of any other documentation, and all such Loans currently outstanding shall be deemed to have been simultaneously reallocated among the Lenders as follows:

(i)On the Closing Date, each Lender that will have a greater Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage upon the Closing Date than its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage (under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) immediately prior to the Closing Date (each, a “Purchasing Lender”), without executing an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, shall be deemed to have purchased assignments pro rata from each Lender in the applicable Class that will have a smaller Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage upon the Closing Date than its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage (under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) immediately prior to the Closing Date (each, a “Selling Lender”) in all such Selling Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as a Lender (collectively, the “Lender Assigned Rights and Obligations”) so that, after giving effect to such assignments, each Lender shall have its respective Revolving Credit Commitments as set forth in Schedule 1.1 hereto and a corresponding Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of all Loans and other Revolving Credit Exposure then outstanding under such Class. Each such purchase hereunder shall be at par for a purchase price equal to the principal amount of the loans and other participation and without recourse, representation or warranty, except that each Selling Lender shall be deemed to represent and warrant to each applicable Purchasing Lender that the Lender Assigned Rights and Obligations of such Selling Lender being assigned to such Purchasing Lender are not subject to any Liens created by that Selling Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the aggregate amount of any Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure outstanding at any time exceed its Revolving Credit Commitment as set forth in Schedule 1.1 hereto. To the extent any Lender under the Existing Credit Agreement holds a Note (under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) evidencing its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage (under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Agent new Revolving Credit Notes to each such Revolving Credit Lender whose Revolving Credit Commitment so that the principal amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Note shall equal its Revolving Credit Commitment. The Agent shall deliver such replacement Notes to the respective Lenders in exchange for the Notes (under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) replaced thereby which shall be surrendered by such Lenders and delivered to Borrower. Such new Notes shall provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Notes

 41

(under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) and that they do not constitute a novation, shall be dated as of the date hereof and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the replaced Notes (under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement).

(ii)The Agent shall calculate the net amount to be paid or received by each Lender in connection with the assignments effected hereunder on the Closing Date. Each Lender required to make a payment pursuant to this Section shall make the net amount of its required payment available to the Agent, in same day funds, at the office of the Agent not later than 12:00 P.M. (New York time) on the Closing Date. The Agent shall distribute on the Closing Date the proceeds of such amounts to the Lenders entitled to receive payments pursuant to this Section, pro rata in proportion to the amount each such Lender is entitled to receive at the primary address set forth in Schedule 1.1 hereto or at such other address as such Lender may request in writing to the Agent.

(c)Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a discharge, extinguishment or novation of the Obligations of the Credit Parties outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement, which Obligations shall remain outstanding under this Agreement after the date hereof as “Revolving Loans” or “Term Loans”, as applicable, except as expressly modified hereby or by instruments executed concurrently with this Agreement.

(d)Upon the Closing Date, all “Security Documents” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) shall be automatically terminated and discharged and shall be of no further force or effect.

§2.THE CREDIT FACILITY.

§2.1Loans.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the 2026 Term Lenders severally agrees to make a term loan (each, a “2026 Term Loan”) to the Borrower in Dollars on the Closing Date, in an aggregate principal amount equal to such 2026 Term Lender’s 2026 Term Commitment; provided, that in all events no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Total Exposure shall not exceed the Facility Cap. The Borrower may not re-borrow any portion of the 2026 Term Loan which is repaid.

(b)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the 2027 Term Lenders severally agrees to make a term loan (each, a “2027 Term Loan”) to the Borrower in Dollars on the Second Amendment Effective Date, in an aggregate principal amount equal to such 2027 Term Lender’s 2027 Term Commitment; provided, that in all events no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Total Exposure shall not exceed the Facility Cap. The Borrower may not re-borrow any portion of the 2027 Term Loan which is repaid.

(c)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the Revolving Credit Lenders severally agrees to lend to the Borrower, and the Borrower may borrow (and repay and reborrow) from time to time between the Closing Date and the Revolving Credit Maturity Date upon notice by the Borrower to the Agent given in accordance with §2.8,

 42

such sums as are requested by the Borrower for the purposes set forth in §2.10 up to a maximum aggregate principal amount outstanding (after giving effect to all amounts requested) at any one time equal to the lesser of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, that, in all events no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Total Revolving Commitment, and the Total Exposure shall not exceed the Facility Cap.

(d)The Loans shall be made pro rata in accordance with each Lender’s Applicable Percentage. Each request for a Loan hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that all of the conditions required of Borrower set forth in §10 and §11 have been satisfied (unless waived by Agent in writing) on the date of such request (or if such condition is required to have been satisfied only as of the initial Closing Date, that such condition was satisfied as of the Closing Date). The Agent may assume that the conditions in §10 and §11 have been satisfied (unless waived by Agent in writing) unless it receives prior written notice from a Lender that such conditions have not been satisfied or waived. No Lender shall have any obligation to make Loans to Borrower in the maximum aggregate principal outstanding balance of more than the principal face amount of its Note or its Commitment, as applicable.

§2.2Swing Loans.

(a)       Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Swing Loan Lender agrees to lend to the Borrower (the “Swing Loans”), and the Borrower may borrow (and repay and reborrow) from time to time between the Closing Date and the date which is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date upon notice by the Borrower to the Swing Loan Lender given in accordance with this §2.2, such sums in Dollars as are requested by the Borrower for the purposes set forth in §2.10 in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not exceeding the Swing Loan Commitment; provided that in all events (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (ii) no Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender (provided Swing Loan Lender may, in its sole discretion, be entitled to waive this condition); (iii) the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure shall not at any time exceed the Total Revolving Commitments and the Total Exposure shall not exceed the Facility Cap, and (iv) each Swing Loan shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000.00. Swing Loans shall constitute “Loans” for all purposes hereunder. The funding of a Swing Loan hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that all of the conditions required of the Borrower set forth in §10 and §11 have been satisfied on the date of such funding. The Swing Loan Lender may assume that the conditions in §10 and §11 have been satisfied unless Swing Loan Lender has received written notice from a Lender that such conditions have not been satisfied. Each Swing Loan shall be due and payable within five (5) Business Days of the date such Swing Loan was provided and Borrower hereby agrees (to the extent not repaid as contemplated by §2.2(d) below) to repay each Swing Loan on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days from the date such Swing Loan was provided; repayment of any Swing Loan may not be made by the advance of a new Swing Loan.

(b)       The Swing Loans shall be evidenced by a separate promissory note of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto (the “Swing Loan Note”), dated the date of this Agreement and completed with appropriate insertions. The Swing Loan Note shall be

 43

payable to the order of the Swing Loan Lender in the principal face amount equal to the Swing Loan Commitment and shall be payable as set forth below.

(c)       Borrower shall request a Swing Loan by delivering to the Swing Loan Lender a Loan Request executed by an Authorized Officer no later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the requested Drawdown Date specifying the amount of the requested Swing Loan (which shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000) and providing the wire instructions for the delivery of the Swing Loan proceeds, together with an executed Compliance Certificate calculated on a pro forma basis. Each such Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept such Swing Loan on the Drawdown Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Swing Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan and shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans. The proceeds of the Swing Loan will be disbursed by wire by the Swing Loan Lender to the Borrower no later than 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time).

(d)       The Swing Loan Lender shall, within two (2) Business Days after the Drawdown Date with respect to such Swing Loan, request each Revolving Credit Lender, including the Swing Loan Lender, to make a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.1(c) in an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of the Swing Loan outstanding on the date such notice is given. In the event that the Borrower does not notify the Agent in writing otherwise on or before noon (Eastern time) of the second (2nd) Business Day after the Drawdown Date with respect to such Swing Loan, Agent shall notify the Revolving Credit Lenders that such Loan shall be a Revolving Credit Term SOFR Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month, provided that the making of such Revolving Credit Term SOFR Loan will not be in contravention of any other provision of this Agreement, or if the making of a Revolving Credit Term SOFR Loan would be in contravention of this Agreement, then such notice shall indicate that such loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Swing Loan Lender to so act on its behalf, and agrees that any amount advanced to the Agent for the benefit of the Swing Loan Lender pursuant to this §2.2(d) shall be considered a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.1. Unless any of the events described in paragraph (h), (i) or (j) of §12.1 shall have occurred (in which event the procedures of §2.2(e) shall apply), each Revolving Credit Lender shall make the proceeds of its Loan available to the Swing Loan Lender for the account of the Swing Loan Lender at the Agent’s Head Office prior to 12:00 noon (Eastern time) in funds immediately available no later than the third (3rd) Business Day after the date such notice is given just as if the Lenders were funding directly to the Borrower, so that thereafter such Obligations shall be evidenced by the Notes. The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loan shall be immediately applied to repay the Swing Loans.

(e)       If for any reason a Swing Loan cannot be refinanced by a Loan pursuant to §2.2(d) (including due to a Defaulting Lender’s failure to fund), each Revolving Credit Lender will, on the date such Loan pursuant to §2.2(d) was to have been made, purchase an undivided participation interest in the Swing Loan in an amount equal to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Swing Loan (or portion thereof). Each Revolving Credit Lender will immediately transfer to the Swing Loan Lender in immediately available funds the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Swing Loan Lender will deliver to such Revolving Credit Lender a Swing Loan participation certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount.

 44

(f)       Whenever at any time after the Swing Loan Lender has received from any Revolving Credit Lender such Lender’s participation interest in a Swing Loan, the Swing Loan Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swing Loan Lender will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its participation interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted in the case of interest payments to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Credit Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Loan Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Credit Lender will return to the Swing Loan Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Swing Loan Lender to it.

(g)       Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to fund a Revolving Credit Loan as provided in §2.2(d) or to purchase participation interests pursuant to §2.2(e) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Credit Lender or the Borrower may have against the Swing Loan Lender, the Borrower or anyone else for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by the Borrower or any Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. Any portions of a Swing Loan not so purchased or converted may be treated by the Agent and Swing Loan Lender as against such Revolving Credit Lender as a Revolving Credit Loan which was not funded by the non-purchasing Revolving Credit Lender as contemplated by §2.2 and §12.5, and shall have such rights and remedies against such Revolving Credit Lender as are set forth in §§2.2, 12.5 and 14.5. Each Swing Loan, once so sold or converted, shall cease to be a Swing Loan for the purposes of this Agreement, but shall be a Revolving Credit Loan made by each Revolving Credit Lender under its Commitment.

§2.3Notes.

(a) The Revolving Credit Loans shall, if requested by any Revolving Credit Lender, be evidenced by separate promissory notes of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit A-1 hereto (collectively, the “Revolving Credit Notes”), dated of even date with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in §18.3) and completed with appropriate insertions. One Revolving Credit Note shall be payable to the order of each Revolving Credit Lender which so requests the issuance of a Revolving Credit Note in the principal amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment or, if less, the outstanding amount of all Revolving Credit Loans made by such Revolving Credit Lender, plus interest accrued thereon, as set forth below.

(b) The Term Loans shall, if requested by any Term Lender, be evidenced by separate promissory notes of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit A-2 hereto (collectively, the “Term Notes”), dated of even date with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in §18.3) and completed with appropriate insertions. One Term Note shall be payable to the order of each Term Lender which so requests the issuance of a Term Note in the principal amount equal to such Term Lender’s Term Commitment or, if less, the outstanding amount of all Term Loans made by such Term Loan Lender, plus interest accrued thereon, as set forth below.

 45

§2.4 Facility Unused Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender) in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages a facility unused fee calculated at the Unused Fee Rate on the actual daily amount by which the Total Revolving Commitment exceeds the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Credit Exposure during each calendar quarter or portion thereof commencing on the date hereof and ending on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. The facility unused fee shall be calculated for each quarter based on the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (a) the actual daily amount of the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure during such quarter to (b) the Total Revolving Commitment. The facility unused fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the fifth (5^th) day of each calendar quarter for the immediately preceding calendar quarter or portion thereof, and on any earlier date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be reduced or shall terminate as provided in §2.5, with a final payment on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

§2.5Reduction and Termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent to reduce by $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or to terminate entirely the Revolving Credit Commitments, whereupon the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be reduced pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages of the amount specified in such notice or, as the case may be, terminated, any such termination or reduction to be without penalty except as otherwise set forth in §4.8; provided, however, that no such termination or reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto, the sum of Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and the Letter of Credit Liabilities would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders as so terminated or reduced. Promptly after receiving any notice from the Borrower delivered pursuant to this §2.5, the Agent will notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of the substance thereof. Upon the effective date of any such reduction or termination, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Revolving Credit Lenders the full amount of any unused facility unused fee under §2.4 then accrued on the amount of the reduction. No reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments may be reinstated.

§2.6RESERVED.

§2.7Interest on Loans.

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

(b)[intentionally omitted].

(c)Each Loan of each Class that is a Daily Simple SOFR Loan, shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the date on which such Daily Simple SOFR Loan is repaid or converted to a Term SOFR Loan or a Base

 46

Rate Loan, at the rate per annum equal to the sum of Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR plus the Applicable Margin for the applicable Class of Daily Simple SOFR Loans.

(d)Each Loan of each Class that is a Term SOFR Loan, shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of each Interest Period with respect thereto, at the rate per annum equal to the sum of Adjusted Term SOFR determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for the applicable Class of Term SOFR Loans.

(e)The Borrower promises to pay interest on each Loan in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect thereto.

(f)Base Rate Loans and SOFR Loans may be converted to Loans of the other Type as provided in §4.1.

(g)The parties understand that the applicable interest rate for the Loans and certain fees set forth herein may be determined and/or adjusted from time to time based upon certain financial ratios and/or other information to be provided or certified to the Lenders by Borrower (the “Borrower Information”). If it is subsequently determined that any such Borrower Information was incorrect (for whatever reason, including without limitation because of a subsequent restatement of earnings by the Borrower) at the time it was delivered to the Agent, and if the applicable interest rate or fees calculated for any period were different than they should have been had the correct information been timely provided, then, such interest rate and such fees for such period shall be automatically recalculated using correct Borrower Information. The Agent shall promptly notify Borrower in writing of any additional interest and fees due because of such recalculation, and the Borrower shall pay such additional interest or fees due to the Agent, for the account of each Lender, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such written notice. Borrower shall receive a credit or refund of any overpayment promptly after such determination. Any recalculation of interest or fees required by this provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days, and this provision shall not in any way limit any of the Agent’s, the Issuing Lender’s or any Lender’s other rights under this Agreement.

§2.8Requests for Loans. Except with respect to any initial Loan on the Closing Date, the Borrower shall give to the Agent written notice executed by an Authorized Officer in the form of Exhibit D hereto (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing in the form of Exhibit D hereto) of each Loan of any Class requested hereunder (a “Loan Request”) by 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to Base Rate Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Loans and two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to Term SOFR Loans, together with an updated Compliance Certificate calculated on a pro forma basis. Each such notice shall specify with respect to the requested Loan the proposed principal amount of such Loan, the Class of Loan, the Type of Loan, the initial Interest Period (if applicable) for such Loan and the Drawdown Date. Promptly upon receipt of any such notice, the Agent shall notify each of the Lenders thereof. Each such Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept the Loan requested from the applicable Lenders on the proposed Drawdown Date. The Borrower shall be liable to each Lender for any costs or expenses incurred by such Lender in the

 47

event that they fail to borrow any requested Term SOFR Loan. Nothing herein shall prevent the Borrower from seeking recourse against any Lender that fails to advance its proportionate share of a requested Loan as required by this Agreement. Each Loan Request shall be (a) for a Base Rate Loan in a minimum aggregate amount of $100,000; or (b) for a SOFR Loan in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 and minimum increments of $250,000 in excess thereof; provided, however, that there shall be no more than eight (8) Term SOFR Loans outstanding at any one time.

§2.9Funds for Loans.

(a)Not later than noon (Eastern time) on the proposed Drawdown Date of any Loans of any Class, each of the Lenders of the applicable Class will make available to the Agent, at the Agent’s Head Office, in immediately available funds, the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage, of the amount of the requested Loans which may be disbursed pursuant to §2.1 or §2.2. Upon receipt from each such Lender of such amount, and upon receipt of the documents required by §10 and §11 and the satisfaction of the other conditions set forth therein to the extent applicable, the Agent will make available to the Borrower the aggregate amount of such Loans made available to the Agent by the Lenders of the applicable Class by crediting such amount to the account of the Borrower maintained at the Agent’s Head Office or wiring such funds in accordance with Borrower’s written instructions. The failure or refusal of any Lender to make available to the Agent at the aforesaid time and place on any Drawdown Date the amount of its Applicable Percentage, of the requested Loans shall not relieve any other Lender of the applicable Class from its several obligation hereunder to make available to the Agent the amount of such other Lender’s Applicable Percentage, of any requested Loans, including any additional Loans that may be requested subject to the terms and conditions hereof to provide funds to replace those not advanced by the Lender so failing or refusing.

(b)Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Lender of any Class prior to the applicable Drawdown Date that such Lender will not make available to Agent such Lender’s Applicable Percentage, of a proposed Loan, Agent may in its discretion assume that such Lender has made such Loan available to Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Agent may, if it chooses, in reliance upon such assumption make such Loan available to the Borrower, and such Lender shall be liable to the Agent for the amount of such advance. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount upon the Agent’s demand therefor, the Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall promptly pay such corresponding amount to the Agent. The Agent shall also be entitled to recover from the Lender or the Borrower (without duplication), as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Agent at a per annum rate equal to (i) from the Borrower at the applicable rate for such Loan or (ii) from a Lender at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

§2.10Use of Proceeds. The Borrower and their Subsidiaries will use the proceeds of the Loans and Letters of Credit solely to (a) pay closing costs in connection with this Agreement; (b) repay existing loans, (c) fund acquisitions of Eligible Real Estate, (d) fund capital and construction expenditures, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and property and equipment acquisitions; and (e) for general working capital purposes (including without

 48

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at any time and from time to time through the day that is thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Issuing Lender shall issue such Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars as the Borrower may request upon the delivery of a written request in the form of Exhibit E hereto (a “Letter of Credit Request”) to the Issuing Lender, together with a Compliance Certificate calculated on a pro forma basis; provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) upon issuance of such Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not exceed Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000) (the “Letter of Credit Sublimit”), (iii) after giving effect to any requested Letters of Credit, in no event shall the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure exceed the Total Revolving Commitment or cause a violation of the covenants set forth in §9 nor shall the Total Exposure exceed the Facility Cap, (iv) the conditions set forth in §§10 and 11 shall have been satisfied (or if such condition is required to have been satisfied only as of the Closing Date, that such condition was satisfied as of the Closing Date) or waived by Agent, (v) no Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender (provided Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, be entitled to waive this condition), unless the Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the Issuing Lender (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender to eliminate the Issuing Lender’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other Letter of Credit Liabilities as to which the Issuing Lender has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion, and (vi) in no event shall any amount drawn under a Letter of Credit be available for reinstatement or a subsequent drawing under such Letter of Credit. The Issuing Lender may assume that the conditions in §10 and §11 have been satisfied unless it receives written notice from a Revolving Credit Lender that such conditions have not been satisfied. Each Letter of Credit Request shall be executed by an Authorized Officer of Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Person’s authority to request a Letter of Credit on behalf of Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall have no duty to verify the authenticity of any signature appearing on a Letter of Credit Request. The Borrower assumes all risks with respect to the use of the Letters of Credit. Unless the Issuing Lender and Revolving Credit Lenders constituting the Revolving Class Lenders otherwise consent, the term of any Letter of Credit shall not exceed a period of time commencing on the issuance of the Letter of Credit and ending one year after the date of issuance thereof, subject to extension pursuant to an “evergreen” clause reasonably acceptable to Agent and Issuing Lender (but in any event the term shall not extend beyond thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date) unless approved by the Issuing Lender in its sole discretion and the Borrower has provided to Agent Cash Collateral reasonably acceptable to the Agent in an amount equal to the Letter of Credit Liability with respect to any Letter of Credit which extends beyond thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. The amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit shall reduce on a dollar-for-dollar basis the amount available to be drawn under the Total Revolving Commitment as a Revolving Credit Loan.

 49

(b) Each Letter of Credit Request shall be submitted to the Issuing Lender at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as the Issuing Lender may approve) prior to the date upon which the requested Letter of Credit is to be issued. Each such Letter of Credit Request shall contain (i) a statement as to the purpose for which such Letter of Credit shall be used (which purpose shall be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), and (ii) a certification by an Authorized Officer or the chief financial or chief accounting officer of Borrower that the Borrower is and will be in compliance with all covenants under the Loan Documents after giving effect to the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Borrower shall further deliver to the Issuing Lender such additional applications (which application as of the date hereof is in the form of Exhibit I attached hereto) and documents as the Issuing Lender may reasonably require, in conformity with the then standard practices of its letter of credit department applicable to all or substantially all similarly situated borrowers, in connection with the issuance of such Letter of Credit; provided that in the event of any conflict, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

(c)The Issuing Lender shall, subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, issue the Letter of Credit on or before five (5) Business Days following receipt of the documents last due pursuant to §2.11(b). Each Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender in its reasonable discretion.

(d)Upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have purchased a participation therein from Issuing Lender in an amount equal to its respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit. No Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to participate in a Letter of Credit shall be affected by any other Revolving Credit Lender’s failure to perform as required herein with respect to such Letter of Credit or any other Letter of Credit.

(e)Upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender (i) for its own account, a Letter of Credit fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit, at a rate equal to the greater of (a) a quarterly fee of one hundred twenty five thousandths percent (0.125%) per annum, computed on the face amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, or (b) $500.00, and (ii) for the accounts of the Revolving Credit Lenders (including the Issuing Lender) in accordance with their respective percentage shares of participation in such Letter of Credit, a Letter of Credit fee calculated at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin then applicable to Revolving Credit Term SOFR Loans on the amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Such fees shall be payable in quarterly installments in arrears with respect to each Letter of Credit on the fifth day of each calendar quarter following the date of issuance and continuing on each quarter or portion thereof thereafter, as applicable, or on any earlier date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate and on the expiration or return of any Letter of Credit (if such letter of credit is outstanding less than a full quarter, such fee shall be pro-rated for the period of time outstanding). In addition, the Borrower shall pay to Issuing Lender for its own account within ten (10) Business Days of demand of Issuing Lender the standard issuance, documentation and service charges applicable to all or substantially all similarly situated borrowers for Letters of Credit issued from time to time by Issuing Lender.

 50

(f) In the event that any amount is drawn under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, unless the amount of such draw is otherwise immediately repaid by the Borrower, the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender by having such amount drawn treated as an outstanding Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan under this Agreement (Borrower being deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan on such date in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and such amount drawn shall be treated as an outstanding Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan under this Agreement) and the Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender by telex, telecopy, telephone (confirmed in writing) or other similar means of transmission, and each Revolving Credit Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Agent, for the Issuing Lender’s own account, an amount in Dollars equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Letter of Credit (to the extent of the amount drawn). Borrower further hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Agent to notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of Borrower’s intent to convert such Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan to a Revolving Credit Term SOFR Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month on the third (3^rd) Business Day following the funding by the Revolving Credit Lenders of their advance under this §2.11(f), provided that the making of such Revolving Credit Term SOFR Loan shall not be a contravention of any provision of this Agreement. If and to the extent any Revolving Credit Lender shall not make such amount available on the Business Day on which such draw is funded, such Revolving Credit Lender agrees to pay such amount to the Agent forthwith on demand, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date on which such draw was funded until the date on which such amount is paid to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate until three (3) days after the date on which the Agent gives notice of such draw and at the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus one percent (1.0%) for each day thereafter. Further, such Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Revolving Credit Loans, amounts due with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit and any other amounts due to it hereunder to the Agent to fund the amount of any drawn Letter of Credit which such Revolving Credit Lender was required to fund pursuant to this §2.11(f) until such amount has been funded (as a result of such assignment or otherwise). The failure of any Revolving Credit Lender to make funds available to the Agent in such amount shall not relieve any other Revolving Credit Lender of its obligation hereunder to make funds available to the Agent pursuant to this §2.11(f).

(g)If after the issuance of a Letter of Credit pursuant to §2.11(c) by the Issuing Lender, but prior to the funding of any portion thereof by a Revolving Credit Lender, for any reason a drawing under a Letter of Credit cannot be refinanced as a Revolving Credit Loan, each Revolving Credit Lender will, on the date such Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.11(f) was to have been made, purchase an undivided participation interest in the Letter of Credit in an amount equal to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit. Each Revolving Credit Lender will immediately transfer to the Issuing Lender in immediately available funds the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Issuing Lender will deliver to such Revolving Credit Lender a Letter of Credit participation certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount.

(h)Whenever at any time after the Issuing Lender has received from any Revolving Credit Lender any such Revolving Credit Lender’s payment of funds under a Letter of Credit and thereafter the Issuing Lender receives any payment on account thereof, then the Issuing Lender will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its participation interest in such

 51

amount (appropriately adjusted in the case of interest payments to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Credit Lender’s participation interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Issuing Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Credit Lender will return to the Issuing Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it.

(i)The issuance of any supplement, modification, amendment, renewal or extension to or of any Letter of Credit shall be treated in all respects the same as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit.

(j)Borrower assumes all risks of the acts, omissions, or misuse of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. Neither Agent, Issuing Lender nor any Lender will be responsible for (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Letter of Credit or any document submitted by any party in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if such document should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with the conditions required in order to demand payment under a Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document or draft required by or from a beneficiary in order to make a disbursement under a Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; (vii) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; and (viii) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Agent or any Lender, none of the foregoing will affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the rights or powers granted to Agent, Issuing Lender or the Lenders hereunder. In furtherance and extension and not in limitation or derogation of any of the foregoing, any act taken or omitted to be taken by Agent, Issuing Lender or the other Lenders in good faith will be binding on Borrower and will not put Agent, Issuing Lender or the other Lenders under any resulting liability to Borrower; provided nothing contained herein shall relieve Issuing Lender, Agent or any Lender for liability to Borrower arising as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Lender, Agent or any Lender as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods.

§2.12Increase in Total Revolving Commitment; Additional Term Loans.

(a)Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this §2.12, the Borrower shall have the option to request increases in the Total Revolving Commitment or Total Term Commitment or both, at any time and from time to time before at least three (3) months prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the latest Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable, to a Total Commitment not more than $1,000,000,000 (after giving effect to each such increase), which increase shall be allocated at the Borrower’s request to the Revolving Credit Commitments or one or more tranches of term loan commitments (each, an “Additional Term Commitment”) by giving written notice to the Agent (an “Increase Notice”; and the amount of each such requested

 52

increase, a “Commitment Increase”), provided that any such individual increase must be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000. Upon receipt of any Increase Notice, the Agent shall consult with Arrangers and within ten (10) days shall notify the Borrower of the amount of facility fees to be paid to any Lenders who provide an additional Revolving Credit Commitment or an Additional Term Commitment in connection with such increase (which shall be in addition to the fees to be paid to Agent or Arrangers pursuant to the Agreement Regarding Fees). If the Borrower agrees to pay the facility fees so determined, then the Agent promptly shall send a notice to all Lenders (the “Additional Commitment Request Notice”) informing them of the Borrower’s request to increase the Total Commitment and of the facility fees to be paid with respect thereto. Each Lender who desires to provide an additional Revolving Credit Commitment or an Additional Term Commitment, in each case, upon such terms described in the Additional Commitment Request Notice, shall provide Agent with a written commitment letter specifying the amount of the additional Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Additional Term Commitment, as applicable, by which it is willing to provide prior to such deadline as may be specified in the Additional Commitment Request Notice not to exceed ten (10) days. If the requested increase is oversubscribed then the Agent and the Arrangers shall allocate the Commitment Increase among the Lenders, who provide such commitment letters on such basis mutually acceptable to each of the Borrower, Agent and Arrangers. If the additional Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Additional Term Commitments, as applicable, so provided are not sufficient to provide the full amount of the Commitment Increase requested by the Borrower, then the Agent, Arrangers or Borrower will seek one or more banks or lending institutions (which banks or lending institutions shall be reasonably acceptable to Agent, Arrangers and Borrower) to become a Revolving Credit Lender and provide an additional Revolving Credit Commitment or a Term Lender and provide an Additional Term Commitment, as applicable. The Agent shall provide all Lenders with a notice setting forth the amount, if any, of the additional Revolving Credit Commitment to be provided by each Lender and the revised Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages which shall be applicable after the effective date of the Commitment Increase specified therein (the “Commitment Increase Date”) and/or Additional Term Commitment to be provided by each Lender and the revised Term Commitment Percentages which shall be applicable after the Commitment Date Increase. In no event shall any Lender be obligated to provide an additional Revolving Credit Commitment or Additional Term Commitment.

(b)Any Additional Term Commitment may, if determined necessary by the Agent and the Lenders providing such Additional Term Commitments, in their reasonable discretion, be effected pursuant to one or more amendments (the “Additional Term Loan Amendment”) executed and delivered by the Borrower, the applicable Term Lenders providing such Additional Term Commitments, and the Agent. All Additional Term Loans shall (A) mature on the Term Loan Maturity Date with respect thereto as set forth in the applicable Additional Term Loan Amendment, but shall mature no earlier than the earliest Term Loan Maturity Date for any Class of outstanding Term Loans, (B) bear interest at such rates as are agreed upon by the Borrower and the Term Lenders providing such Additional Term Loans, (C) not require scheduled amortization prior to the earliest Term Loan Maturity Date for any Class of outstanding Term Loans but may permit voluntary prepayment (subject to sub-clause (D) hereof), and (D) not rank higher than pari passu in right of payment and with respect to security with all Revolving Credit Loans and any other existing Term Loans or have different borrower or guarantors as the Borrower and Guarantors with respect to all other Obligations. Each Term

 53

Loan Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are consistent with this Section 2.12 and may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.12 with respect thereto. On any Commitment Date on which any Additional Term Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each applicable Term Lender shall make an Additional Term Loan to the Borrower (an “Additional Term Loan”) in an amount equal to its Additional Term Commitment as of such date, and (ii) each Term Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the Additional Term Commitment and the Additional Term Loans made pursuant thereto.

(c)On any Commitment Increase Date on which the Total Revolving Commitment is amended, the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be reallocated among the Revolving Credit Lenders such that after the applicable Commitment Increase Date the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans owed to each Revolving Credit Lender shall be equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage (as in effect after the applicable Commitment Increase Date) of the outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans. The participation interests of the Revolving Credit Lenders in Letters of Credit shall be similarly adjusted. On any Commitment Increase Date those Revolving Credit Lenders whose Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage is increasing shall advance the funds to the Agent and the funds so advanced shall be distributed among the Revolving Credit Lenders whose Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage is decreasing as necessary to accomplish the required reallocation of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans. The funds so advanced shall be Revolving Credit Base Rate Loans until converted to Revolving Credit Term SOFR Loans which are allocated among all Revolving Credit Lenders based on their Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages.

(d)Upon the effective date of each increase in the Total Commitment pursuant to this §2.12 the Agent may unilaterally revise Schedule 1.1 and the Borrower shall, if requested by such Lender, execute and deliver to the Agent new Revolving Credit Notes for each Revolving Credit Lender whose Revolving Credit Commitment has changed so that the principal amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Note shall equal its Revolving Credit Commitment or new Term Notes for each Term Lender who provided an Additional Term Loan. The Agent shall deliver such replacement Notes to the respective Lenders in exchange for the Notes replaced thereby which shall be surrendered by such Lenders and delivered to Borrower. Such new Notes shall provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Notes and that they do not constitute a novation, shall be dated as of the Commitment Increase Date and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the replaced Notes.

(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any increase in the Total Commitment pursuant to this §2.12 shall be conditioned upon satisfaction or waiver of the following conditions precedent which must be satisfied or waived prior to the effectiveness of any increase of the Total Commitment:

(i)Payment of Activation Fee. The Borrower shall pay (A) to the Agent those fees described in and contemplated by the Agreement Regarding Fees with respect to the applicable Commitment Increase, and (B) to the Arranger such facility fees as the Lenders who are providing an additional Revolving Credit Commitment or additional Term Commitment,

 54

as applicable, may require to increase the Total Revolving Commitment or Total Term Commitment, which fees shall, when paid, be fully earned and non-refundable under any circumstances. The Arranger shall pay to the Lenders acquiring the increased Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Commitment certain fees pursuant to their separate agreement; and

(ii)No Default. On the date any Increase Notice is given and on the date such increase becomes effective, both immediately before and after the Total Commitment is increased, there shall exist no Default or Event of Default; and

(iii)Representations True. The representations and warranties made by the Borrower in the Loan Documents or otherwise made by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection therewith or after the date thereof shall have been true and correct in all material respects when made and shall also be true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent that any representation and warranty that is qualified by materiality shall be true and correct in all respects) on the date of such Increase Notice and on the date the Total Commitment is increased (unless such representations are limited by their terms to a specific date), both immediately before and after the Total Commitment is increased, other than for changes in the ordinary course of business permitted by this Agreement; and

(iv)Additional Documents and Expenses. The Borrower shall execute and deliver to Agent and the Lenders such additional documents, instruments, certifications and opinions as the Agent may reasonably require, including, without limitation, a Compliance Certificate, demonstrating compliance with all covenants set forth in the Loan Documents after giving effect to the increase, and the Borrower shall pay the cost of any updated UCC searches, all recording costs and fees, and any and all intangible taxes or other documentary taxes, assessments or charges or any similar reasonable fees, taxes or expenses which are reasonably requested in connection with such increase.

§2.13Extension of Revolving Credit Maturity Date. The Borrower shall have the right and option to extend the Revolving Credit Maturity Date to February 11, 2026, and then to August 11, 2026, upon satisfaction or waiver of the following conditions precedent, which must be satisfied prior to the effectiveness of any extension of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date:

(a)Extension Request. The Borrower shall deliver written notice of such request (the “Extension Request”) to the Agent not earlier than the date which is ninety (90) days and not later than the date which is forty-five (45) days prior to the then applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date (as determined without regard to such extension). Any such Extension Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower unless otherwise agreed to by the Agent in its reasonable discretion.

(b)Payment of Extension Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the pro rata accounts of the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments an extension fee in an amount equal to 0.075% of the Total Revolving Commitment in effect on the then applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date, after taking into consideration any reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments as of such date (as determined without regard to such extension), which fee shall, when paid, be fully earned and non-refundable under any circumstances.

 55

(c) No Default. On the date the Extension Request is given there shall exist no Default or Event of Default and on the then applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date (as determined without regard to such extension) there shall exist no Default or Event of Default.

(d)Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties made by the Borrower in the Loan Documents or otherwise made by or on behalf of the Credit Parties in connection therewith or after the date thereof shall have been true and correct in all material respects when made and shall also be true and correct in all material respects on the date the Extension Request is given and on the then applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date, except to the extent of changes resulting from transactions permitted by the Loan Documents (it being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct only as of such specified date, and that any representation or warranty that is qualified by any materiality standard shall be required to be true and correct in all respects).

(e)Prior Extension. For the extension to August 11, 2026, the extension to February 11, 2026 shall have been previously exercised.

(f)Compliance Certificate. The Borrower shall deliver a Compliance Certificate dated as of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (as determined without regard to such extension) demonstrating compliance with all covenants set forth in the Loan Documents and certifying that before and after giving effect to such extension, no Default or Event of Default exists or shall result therefrom.

§2.14Pro Rata Treatment.

(a)As provided elsewhere herein, all Revolving Credit Lenders’ interests in the Revolving Credit Loans, all interests of the Term Lenders in the Term Loans, and all Lenders’ interests in the Loan Documents shall be ratable undivided interests and none of such Lenders’ interests shall have priority over the others. Each payment delivered to the Agent for the account of any Lender or amount to be applied or paid by the Agent to any Lender shall be paid promptly by the Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Agent received at such Lender’s address specified pursuant to §19.

(b)Except to the extent otherwise explicitly provided in this Agreement: (a) each borrowing from the Revolving Credit Lenders under this Agreement shall be made from the Revolving Credit Lenders, each payment of the fees under §4.3 or §2.13(b) shall be made for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments under §2.5 shall be applied to the respective Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages; (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of Revolving Credit Loans shall be made for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages, provided that, subject to §14.16, if immediately prior to giving effect to any such payment in respect of any Revolving Credit Loans the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans shall not be held by the Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Percentages in effect at the time such Revolving Credit Loans were

 56

made, then such payment shall be applied to the Revolving Credit Loans in such manner as shall result, as nearly as is practicable, in the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans being held by the Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata in accordance with such respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages; (c) the Revolving Credit Lenders’ participation in, and payment obligations in respect of, Swing Loans under §2.2, shall be in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages; (d) the Revolving Credit Lenders’ participation in, and payment obligations in respect of, Letters of Credit under §2.11, shall be in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages; and (e) the making of any Term Loans under §2.12 shall be made from the applicable Term Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective commitments for such Term Loans; (f) each payment of such Class or prepayment of principal of Term Loans of any Class shall be made for the account of the Term Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Term Loans of such Class held by them; and (g) the conversion and continuation of Loans of a particular Class and Type shall be made pro rata among the Lenders of such Class according to the amounts of their respective Loans of such Class, and the then current Interest Period for each Lender’s portion of each such Loan of such Type shall be coterminous. All payments of principal, interest, fees and other amounts in respect of the Swing Loans shall be for the account of the Swing Loan Lender only (except to the extent any Revolving Credit Lender shall have acquired and funded a participating interest in any such Swing Loan pursuant to §2.2(e), in which case such payments shall be pro rata in accordance with such participating interests).

§3.REPAYMENT OF THE LOANS.

§3.1Stated Maturity. The Borrower promises to pay on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and thereon shall become absolutely due and payable on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date all of the Revolving Credit Loans and other Letters of Credit Liabilities outstanding on such date (other than Letters of Credit whose expiration date is beyond the Revolving Credit Maturity Date as set forth in §2.11(a)), together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The Borrower promises to pay each Swing Loan on the earlier of (i) five (5) Business Days of the date such Swing Loan was provided and (ii) the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The Borrower promises to pay on the Term Loan Maturity Date of each Class of Term Loan and thereon shall become absolutely due and payable on such Term Loan Maturity Date, all of the Term Loans of such Class Outstanding on such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

§3.2Mandatory Prepayments(a). If at any time (a) the Total Exposure exceeds the Facility Cap or (b) the Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the Total Revolving Commitment, then the Borrower shall, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice from Agent of such occurrence, (i) to the extent Total Exposure exceeds the Facility Cap due to the Total Exposure being greater than the Total Commitment, repay the Loans in an aggregate principal amount at least equal to such excess to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Lenders, and (ii) to the extent the Total Exposure exceeds the Facility Cap due to the Unencumbered Pool Value being less than the Total Exposure, either, in Borrower’s discretion, (A) add additional Eligible Real Estate to the Unencumbered Pool with an aggregate value sufficient to cause the Facility Cap to exceed the Total Exposure, or (B) repay the Loans in an aggregate principal amount at least equal to such excess to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Lenders, and (iii) to the

 57

extent that the Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the Total Revolving Commitment, repay Loans of the applicable Class in an aggregate principal amount at least equal to such excess to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable, for application to the Revolving Credit Loans as provided in §3.4 or held, to the extent the Revolving Credit Loans are repaid in full, as Cash Collateral for the Letter of Credit Liabilities, together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to §4.8.

§3.3Optional Prepayments.

(a)Borrower shall have the right, at its election, to prepay the outstanding amount of the Loans of any Class and Swing Loans, as a whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium; provided, that if any prepayment of the outstanding amount of any Term SOFR Loans pursuant to this §3.3 is made on a date that is not the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, such prepayment shall be accompanied by the payment of any amounts due pursuant to §4.8.

(b)The Borrower shall give the Agent, no later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) at least three (3) days prior written notice of any prepayment pursuant to this §3.3, in each case specifying the proposed date of prepayment of the Loans, the Class of Loans to be prepaid, and the principal amount to be prepaid (provided that (i) any such notice may be revoked or modified upon one (1) day’s prior notice to the Agent) and/or (ii) any such notice or repayment may be conditioned upon the consummation of a transaction. In the absence of a Default or Event of Default, subject to §3.4 below, Borrower shall have the right to specify the order and manner of how any options prepayments of the Loan are applied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prior notice shall be required for the prepayment of any Swing Loan.

§3.4Partial Prepayments. Each partial prepayment of the Loans under §3.3 shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest on the principal prepaid to the date of payment. Each partial payment under §3.2 and §3.3 shall be applied first to the principal of Swing Loans, and then to the other Loans (and with respect to each category of Loans, first to the principal of Base Rate Loans, then to the principal of Daily Simple SOFR Loans, and then to the principal of Term SOFR Loans).

§3.5Effect of Prepayments. Amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans prepaid under §3.2 and §3.3 prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date may be reborrowed as provided in §2. Amounts of any Term Loans prepaid under this Agreement may not be reborrowed.

§4.CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS.

§4.1Conversion Options.

(a)The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert any outstanding Loan of any Class to a Loan of the same Class but of another Type and such Loan shall thereafter bear interest as a Base Rate Loan or SOFR Loan, as applicable; provided that (i) with respect to any such conversion of a Term SOFR Loan, to a Base Rate Loan or Daily Simple SOFR Loan, the Borrower shall give the Agent at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice of such election, and such conversion shall only be made on the last day of the Interest Period with respect to such Term SOFR Loan, unless the Borrower pay Breakage Costs as

 58

All or any part of the outstanding Loans of any Class and Type may be converted as provided herein, provided that no partial conversion shall result in a Base Rate Loan in a principal amount of less than $1,000,000 or a SOFR Loan in a principal amount of less than $1,000,000. On the date on which such conversion is being made, each Lender shall take such action as is necessary to transfer its Applicable Percentage of such Loans, as applicable, to its Applicable Lending Office. Each Conversion/Continuation Request relating to the conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a SOFR Loan shall be irrevocable by the Borrower.

(b)Any Term SOFR Loan, may be continued as such Type upon the expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto by compliance by the Borrower with the terms of §4.1; provided that no Term SOFR Loan, may be continued as such when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto ending during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default.

(c)In the event that the Borrower does not notify the Agent of their election hereunder with respect to any Term SOFR Loan, such Loan shall be automatically continued at the end of the applicable Interest Period as a Term SOFR Loan, for an Interest Period of one month unless such Interest Period shall be greater than the time remaining until the Maturity Date for the applicable Class of Loans, in which case such Loan shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan at the end of the applicable Interest Period.

§4.2Fees. In addition to all fees specified herein, the Borrower agrees to pay to KeyBank and the Arranger for their own account certain fees for services rendered or to be rendered in connection with the Loans as provided pursuant to a fee letter dated September 3, 2020 between the Borrower, KeyBank and the Arranger (the “Agreement Regarding Fees”).

§4.3[Intentionally Omitted.]

§4.4Funds for Payments.

(a)All payments of principal, interest, facility fees, Letter of Credit fees, closing fees and any other amounts due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made to the Agent, for the respective accounts of the Lenders and the Agent, as the case may be, at the Agent’s Head Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the day when due, in each case in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds. The Agent is hereby authorized to charge the accounts of the Borrower with KeyBank, on the dates when the amount thereof shall become due and payable, with the amounts of the principal of and interest on the Loans and all fees, charges, expenses and other amounts owing to the Agent

 59

and/or the Lenders under the Loan Documents. Subject to the foregoing, all payments made to the Agent on behalf of the Lenders, and actually received by the Agent, shall be deemed received by the Lenders on the date actually received by the Agent.

(b)All payments by the Borrower hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim, and free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower or other applicable Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this §4.4) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c)The Borrower and the Guarantors shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d)The Borrower and the Guarantors shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this §4.4) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that the determinations in such statement are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

(e)Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower or a Guarantor has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower and the Guarantors to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of §18.4 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this subsection.

 60

(f) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or any Guarantor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this §4.4, the Borrower or such Guarantor shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

(g)(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in the immediately following clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

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

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

(B)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(I)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

 61

(II) an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8ECI;

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

(IV)to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2 or Exhibit J-3, IRS Form W 9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

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

(D)if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

 62

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h)If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this §4.4 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this §4.4), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this §4.4 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable third party out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party actually incurred and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund has not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it reasonably deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i)Each party’s obligations under this §4.4 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(j)The obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders under this Agreement (and of the Revolving Credit Lenders to make payments to the Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document; (ii) any improper use which may be made of any Letter of Credit or any improper acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit in connection therewith; (iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or any right which the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting) or the Lenders (other than the defense of payment to the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or any other person, whether in connection with any Letter of Credit, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any unrelated transaction; (iv) any draft, demand, certificate, statement or any other documents presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be insufficient, forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (v) any breach of any agreement between Borrower or any

 63

of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates and any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit; (vi) any irregularity in the transaction with respect to which any Letter of Credit is issued, including any fraud by the beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit; (vii) payment by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a sight draft, demand, certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, provided that such payment shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods; (viii) any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of the proceeds of such Letter of Credit; (ix) the legality, validity, form, regularity or enforceability of the Letter of Credit; (x) the failure of any payment by Issuing Lender to conform to the terms of a Letter of Credit (if, in Issuing Lender’s good faith judgment, such payment is determined to be appropriate); (xi) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; (xii) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; and (xiii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

§4.5Computations. All computations of interest on the Loans and of other fees to the extent applicable shall be based on a 360-day year, except that interest computed by reference to the Base Rate (except at times when the Base Rate is determined with reference to Term SOFR, as applicable) shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be paid for the actual number of days elapsed. Except as otherwise provided in the definition of the term “Interest Period” with respect to Term SOFR Loans, whenever a payment hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such extension. The Outstanding Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities as reflected on the records of the Agent from time to time shall be considered prima facie evidence of such amount.

§4.6Suspension of SOFR Loans. (i) If the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower) that the Daily Simple SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR, or SOFR cannot be determined temporarily pursuant to the definition thereof on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period other than due to a Benchmark Transition Event, the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Upon notice thereof by the Agent to the Borrower and each Lender, (i) any obligation of the Lenders to make or continue SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans shall be suspended to the extent of the applicable Interest Period, (ii) all SOFR Loans of the affected Interest Period shall be immediately converted to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans shall be determined by the Lender without reference to the SOFR component of Base Rate) and (iii) the component of Base Rate based upon Term SOFR will not be used in any determination of Base Rate, in each case, until the Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay any additional amounts required pursuant to §4.8; and/or (ii) If the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower) that Daily Simple SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR, SOFR cannot be determined permanently pursuant to the definition thereof as a result of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender,

 64

and the provisions of §4.16 of this Agreement shall be applicable. Upon notice thereof by the Agent to the Borrower and the Lenders, (i) any obligation of the Lenders to make or continue SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans shall be suspended, (ii) all SOFR Loans shall be immediately converted to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans shall be determined by the Agent without reference to the SOFR component of Base Rate) and (iii) the component of Base Rate based upon SOFR will not be used in any determination of Base Rate. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein. Unless and until the Agent and the Borrower have amended this Agreement to provide for a Benchmark Replacement in accordance with §4.16 of this Agreement, all Loans shall be Base Rate Loans.

§4.7Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority having jurisdiction over a Lender or its Applicable Lending Office shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make or maintain SOFR Loans, such Lender shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances to the Agent and the Borrower thereupon (a) the commitment of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, shall forthwith be suspended and (b) the SOFR Loans, then outstanding shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such SOFR Loans or within such earlier period as may be required by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, before giving such notice, the applicable Lender shall designate a different lending office if such designation will void the need for giving such notice and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender or increase any costs payable by Borrower hereunder.

§4.8Additional Interest. If any Term SOFR Loan or any portion thereof is repaid or is converted to a Base Rate Loan for any reason on a date which is prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Term SOFR Loan, or if repayment of the Loans has been accelerated as provided in §12.1, or if the Borrower fails to draw down on the first day of the applicable Interest Period any amount as to which the Borrower has elected a Term SOFR Loan, the Borrower will pay to the Agent upon demand for the account of the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (or to the Swing Loan Lender with respect to a Swing Loan), in addition to any amounts of interest otherwise payable hereunder, the Breakage Costs. Borrower understand, agree and acknowledge the following: (i) no Lender has any obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the use of SOFR, as a basis for calculating the rate of interest on a Term SOFR Loan; (ii) SOFR, is used merely as a reference in determining such rate; and (iii) Borrower has accepted SOFR, as a reasonable and fair basis for calculating such rate and any Breakage Costs. Borrower further agrees to pay the Breakage Costs, if any, whether or not a Lender elects to purchase, sell and/or match funds.

§4.9Additional Costs, Etc. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Change in Law, shall:

(a)subject any Lender or the Agent to any Taxes or withholding of any nature with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, such Lender’s Commitment, a Letter

 65

of Credit or the Loans (other than for Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and Connection Income Taxes), or

(b)[Reserved], or

(c)impose or increase or render applicable any special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge, reserve, assessment, liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law and which are not already reflected in any amounts payable by Borrower hereunder) against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, or commitments of an office of any Lender, or

(d)impose on any Lender or the Agent any other conditions or requirements with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Loans, such Lender’s Commitment, a Letter of Credit, or any class of loans or commitments of which any of the Loans or such Lender’s Commitment forms a part; and the result of any of the foregoing is:

(i)to increase the cost to any Lender of making, continuing, converting to, funding, issuing, renewing, extending or maintaining any of the Loans or such Lender’s Commitment, or

(ii)to reduce the amount of principal, interest or other amount payable to any Lender or the Agent hereunder on account of such Lender’s Commitment or any of the Loans, or

(iii)require any Lender or the Agent to make any payment or to forego any interest or other sum payable hereunder, the amount of which payment or foregone interest or other sum is calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum receivable or deemed received by such Lender or the Agent from the Borrower hereunder, then, and in each such case, the Borrower will, within fifteen (15) days of demand made by such Lender or (as the case may be) the Agent at any time and from time to time and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay to such Lender or the Agent such additional amounts as such Lender or the Agent shall determine in good faith to be sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Agent for such additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest or other sum. Each Lender and the Agent in determining such amounts may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods generally applied by such Lender or the Agent, in such case (a) through (d), so long as such amounts have accrued on or before the day that is two hundred and seventy (270) days prior to the date on which such Agent first made demand therefor (except that, if the event giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the two hundred seventy (270) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

§4.10Capital Adequacy. If after the date hereof any Lender determines that (a) as a result of a Change in Law, or (b) compliance by such Lender or its parent bank holding company with any directive of any such entity regarding liquidity or capital adequacy, has the effect of reducing the return on such Lender’s or such holding company’s capital or liquidity as a consequence of such Lender’s commitment to make Loans hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such holding company’s then existing

 66

policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then such Lender may notify the Borrower thereof. The Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender the amount of such reduction in the return on capital as and when such reduction is reasonably determined, upon presentation by such Lender of a statement of the amount setting forth the Lender’s calculation thereof. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods generally applied by such Lender.

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

§4.12Default Interest; Late Charge. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and regardless of whether or not the Agent or the Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans, all Loans shall bear interest payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to three percent (3.0%) above the interest rate that would otherwise be in effect hereunder (the “Default Rate”), until such amount shall be paid in full (after as well as before judgment) until such amount shall be paid in full (after as well as before judgment), and the fee payable with respect to Letters of Credit shall be increased to a rate equal to four percent (4.0%) above the Letter of Credit fee that would otherwise be applicable to such time, or if any of such amounts shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by law, then at the maximum rate permitted by law. In addition, the Borrower shall pay a late charge equal to three percent (3.0%) of any amount of interest and/or principal payable on the Loans (other than amounts due on the Maturity Date or as a result of acceleration), which is not paid by the Borrower within ten (10) days of the date when due.

§4.13Certificate. A certificate setting forth any amounts payable pursuant to §4.8, §4.9, §4.10, §4.11 or §4.12 and a reasonably detailed explanation of such amounts which are due, submitted by any Lender or the Agent to the Borrower, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount due. A Lender shall be entitled to reimbursement under §4.9, or §4.10 from and after notice to Borrower that such amounts are due given in accordance with §4.9 or §4.10 and for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days prior to receipt of such notice if such Change in Law was effective during such one hundred eighty (180) day period.

§4.14Limitation on Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, all agreements between or among the Borrower, the Lenders and the Agent, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of any of the Obligations or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received by the Lenders exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to the Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to the Lenders shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under applicable law; and if from any circumstance the Lenders shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Obligations and to the payment of interest or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid

 67

balance of principal of the Obligations, such excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal of the Obligations (including the period of any renewal or extension thereof) so that the interest thereon for such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. This Section shall control all agreements between or among the Borrower, the Lenders and the Agent with respect to the subject matter of this paragraph.

§4.15Certain Provisions Relating to Increased Costs and Non-Funding Lenders. If a Lender gives notice of the existence of the circumstances set forth in §4.7 or any Lender requests compensation for any losses or reasonable and documented costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any one or more of the provisions of §4.4(b) (as a result of the imposition of U.S. withholding taxes on amounts paid to such Lender under this Agreement), §4.9 or §4.10, then, upon the request of the Borrower, such Lender, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts in a manner consistent with such institution’s practice in connection with loans like the Loan of such Lender to eliminate, mitigate or reduce amounts that would otherwise be payable by Borrower under the foregoing provisions, provided that such action would not be otherwise prejudicial to such Lender, including, without limitation, by designating another of such Lender’s offices, branches or affiliates; the Borrower agreeing to pay all reasonable and necessary costs and expenses incurred by such Lender in connection with any such action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and if any Lender (a) has given notice of the existence of the circumstances set forth in §4.7 or has requested payment or compensation for any losses or costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any one or more of the provisions of §4.4(b) (as a result of the imposition of U.S. withholding taxes on amounts paid to such Lender under this Agreement), §4.9 or §4.10 and following the request of Borrower has been unable to take the steps described above to mitigate such amounts (each, an “Affected Lender”) or (b) has failed to make available to Agent its pro rata share of any Loan or its participation in any Letter of Credit Liability, and such failure has not been cured (a “Non-Funding Lender”), then, within ninety (90) days after such notice or request for payment or compensation or failure to fund, as applicable, Borrower shall have the right as to such Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, to be exercised by delivery of written notice delivered to the Agent and the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, within ninety (90) days of receipt of such notice or failure to fund, as applicable, to elect to cause the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, to transfer its Commitments and Loans. The Agent shall promptly notify the remaining Lenders that each of such Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire a portion of such Commitments and Loans, pro rata based upon their relevant Commitment Percentages, of the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable (or if any of such Lenders does not elect to purchase its pro rata share, then to such remaining Lenders in such proportion as approved by the Agent). In the event that the Lenders do not elect to acquire all of the Affected Lender’s or Non-Funding Lender’s Commitment, then the Agent shall endeavor to obtain a new Lender to acquire such remaining Commitments and Loans. Upon any such purchase of the Commitments and Loans of the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, the Affected Lender’s or Non-Funding Lender’s interest in the Obligations and its rights hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall terminate at the date of purchase, and the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest. The purchase price for the Affected Lender’s or Non-Funding

 68

Lender’s Commitments and Loans shall equal any and all amounts outstanding and owed by Borrower to the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, including principal, prepayment premium or fee, and all accrued and unpaid interest or fees.

§4.16Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.

(a)Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this §4.16 will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date. Unless and until a Benchmark Replacement is effective in accordance with this clause §4.16(a), all Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Loans in accordance with the provisions of §4.6 above.

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

(c)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations.

 72

shall have completed such compliance processes with respect to such Person. Each such Subsidiary shall be authorized, in accordance with its respective organizational documents, to be a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. Borrower shall further cause all representations, covenants and agreements in the Loan Documents with respect to the Subsidiary Guarantors to be true and correct with respect to each such Subsidiary from and after the date such Subsidiary executes and delivers a Joinder Agreement. In connection with the delivery of such Joinder Agreement, Borrower shall deliver to the Agent such organizational agreements, resolutions, consents, opinions and other documents and instruments as the Agent may reasonably require.

§5.4Release of Certain Subsidiary Guarantors. In the event that all Unencumbered Properties owned by a Subsidiary Guarantor, directly or indirectly, shall have been released as an Unencumbered Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be deemed to be fully released of all Obligations and all Hedge Obligations without the need of any further actions from Agent or any Lender.

§5.5Suspended Unencumbered Properties. If, after the date when it was initially accepted as an Unencumbered Property, any Unencumbered Property shall become a Suspended Unencumbered Property, then (i) such Suspended Unencumbered Property shall not be included in the calculations of the financial covenants set forth in §9.6 or §9.7 for so long as such Unencumbered Property remains a Suspended Unencumbered Property and (ii) the Borrower shall, within three (3) Business Days after becoming aware that such Real Estate is Suspended Unencumbered Property, provide the Agent and the Lenders with written notice thereof, together with an updated Compliance Certificate and Unencumbered Pool Certificate showing the effect of removing such Real Estate as an Unencumbered Property and such other information regarding such Real Estate as reasonably requested by the Agent (on behalf of itself or any Lender). If any Unencumbered Property becomes a Suspended Unencumbered Property but such Suspended Unencumbered Property subsequently satisfies the requirements of §5.1, such Suspended Unencumbered Property shall thereafter be reclassified as Unencumbered Property. In addition, to the extent that a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred solely as a result of any Real Estate having been improperly included as an Unencumbered Property for any prior fiscal periods, such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to not have occurred for all purposes of the Loan Documents so long as the Borrower delivers to the Agent one or more Compliance Certificates, prepared as of the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter and each other fiscal quarter during which such Real Estate was improperly included as an Unencumbered Property, evidencing compliance with the financial covenants set forth in §9, calculated excluding such Real Estate as an Unencumbered Pool Property, evidencing pro forma compliance and certifying that no other Default or Event of Default then exists.

§6.21Subsidiaries; Organizational Structure. Schedule 6.21 sets forth, as of the Closing Date, all of the Subsidiaries and Unconsolidated Subsidiaries of Borrower, the form and jurisdiction of organization of each of the Subsidiaries and Unconsolidated Subsidiaries, and the owners of the direct and indirect ownership interests therein.

Except as set forth in Schedule 6.23 or as set forth in the written engineer reports provided to Agent on or before the date hereof, all of the Unencumbered Properties, and all major building systems located thereon, are structurally sound, in good condition and working order and free from material defects, subject to ordinary wear and tear, except for such portion of such Real Estate which is not occupied by any tenant and which may not be in final working order pending final build-out of such space except where such defects have not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Unencumbered Properties, and the use and operation thereof, is in material compliance with all applicable federal and state law and governmental regulations and any local ordinances, orders or regulations, including without limitation, laws, regulations and ordinances relating to zoning, building codes, subdivision, fire protection, health, safety, handicapped access, historic preservation and protection, wetlands, tidelands, and Environmental Laws except in cases that would not reasonably cause a Material Adverse Effect.

Except as otherwise disclosed to Agent, the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors have no Management Agreements for any of the Unencumbered Properties. To the best knowledge of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors, there are no material claims or any bases for material claims in respect of any Unencumbered Property or its operation by any party to any service agreement or Management Agreement that would have a Material Adverse Effect. No person or entity has any right or option to acquire any Unencumbered Property or any Building thereon or any portion

 81

thereof or interest therein, except for certain tenants pursuant to the terms of their Leases with Subsidiary Guarantors. The Unencumbered Properties are insured with financially sound and reputable insurance companies not Affiliates of any Credit Party, in such amounts, with such deductibles and covering such risks (including risks with respect to environmental claims) as are customarily carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar properties in localities where the applicable Credit Party or Subsidiary operates.

 82

pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute substantially more than “reasonably equivalent value” (as such term is used in §548 of the Bankruptcy Code) and “valuable consideration,” “fair value,” and “fair consideration,” (as such terms are used in any applicable state fraudulent conveyance law), in exchange for the benefits to be provided by the Borrower and the Guarantors pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and but for the willingness of each Guarantor to be a guarantor of the Loan, the Borrower and the Guarantors would be unable to obtain the financing contemplated hereunder which financing will enable the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors to have available financing to conduct and expand their business.

§6.30OFAC.

All base rent and additional rent, if any, due and payable under each Ground Lease has been paid through the date hereof and neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary Guarantor is required to pay any deferred or accrued rent after the date hereof under any Ground Lease.

Each of the representations and warranties made by or on behalf of the Credit Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries contained in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or in any document or instrument delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement shall be true in all material respects both as of the date as of which they were made and shall also be true in all material respects as of the time of the making of such Loan, with the same effect as if made at and as of that time, except to the extent of changes resulting from transactions permitted by the Loan Documents (it being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct only as of such specified date), and no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(n)with respect to any Guaranteed Pension Plan, an ERISA Reportable Event shall have occurred and such event reasonably would be expected to result in liability of any of the Credit Parties to pay money to the PBGC or such Guaranteed Pension Plan in an aggregate amount exceeding $5,000,000 and one of the following shall apply with respect to such event: (x) such event in the circumstances occurring reasonably would be expected to result in the termination of such Guaranteed Pension Plan by the PBGC or for the appointment by the appropriate United States District Court of a trustee to administer such Guaranteed Pension Plan; or (y) a trustee shall have been appointed by the United States District Court to administer such Plan; or (z) the PBGC shall have instituted proceedings to terminate such Guaranteed Pension Plan;

(o)any dissolution, termination, partial or complete liquidation, merger or consolidation of any of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of the Subsidiaries of Borrower shall occur or any sale, transfer or other disposition of the assets of any of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of the Subsidiaries of Borrower shall occur other than as permitted under the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents;

(r)any Change of Control shall occur;

then, and upon any such Event of Default, the Agent may, and upon the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice in writing to the Borrower declare all amounts owing with respect to this Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents to be, and they shall thereupon forthwith become, immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; provided that in the event of any Event of Default specified in §12.1(h), §12.1(i) or §12.1(j), all such amounts shall become immediately due and payable automatically and without any requirement of presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind from any of the Lenders or the Agent. If demanded by Agent in its absolute and sole discretion or at the request of the Required Lenders after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower will deposit with and pledge to Agent cash in an amount equal to the amount of all undrawn Letters of Credit; provided that in the event of any Event of Default specified in §12.1(h), §12.1(i) or §12.1(j), the obligation to deposit and pledge such cash in an amount equal to the amount of all undrawn Letters of Credit shall be automatic and without any requirement of presentment, demand, protest, or other notice of any kind from the Agent or any of the Lenders. Such amounts will be pledged to and held by Agent for the benefit of the Lenders as security for any amounts that become payable under the Letters of Credit and all other Obligations. In the event the Borrower fails to deliver such Cash Collateral, upon demand by Agent or the Required Lenders in their absolute and sole discretion after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and regardless of whether the conditions precedent in this Agreement for a Revolving Credit Loan have been satisfied, the Revolving Credit Lenders will cause a Revolving Credit Loan to be made in the undrawn amount of all Letters of Credit. The proceeds of any such Revolving Credit Loan will be pledged to and held by Agent as security for any amounts that become payable under the Letters of Credit and all other Obligations. Upon any draws under Letters of Credit, at Agent’s sole discretion, Agent may apply any such amounts pledged or funded hereunder to the repayment of amounts drawn thereunder and upon the expiration of the Letters of Credit any remaining amounts will be applied to the payment of all other Obligations or if there are no outstanding Obligations and Lenders have no further obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or issue Letters of Credit or if such excess no longer exists, such proceeds deposited by the Borrower will be released to Borrower.

§12.2Certain Cure Periods. In the event that there shall occur any Default that affects only certain Unencumbered Property or the owner(s) thereof (if such owner is a Subsidiary Guarantor) or the removal of certain Unencumbered Property would cure the Default, then the Borrower may elect to cure such Default (so long as no other Default or Event of Default would

 106

arise as a result) by electing to have Agent remove such Real Estate as an Unencumbered Property (and the Borrower’s compliance with Section 3.2 as a result thereof), in which event such removal and reduction shall be completed within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of such Default from the Agent or the Required Lenders.

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

§12.4Remedies. In case any one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and whether or not the Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans pursuant to §12.1, the Agent on behalf of the Lenders may, and upon the direction of the Required Lenders shall, proceed to protect and enforce their rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Notes and/or any of the other Loan Documents by suit in equity, action at law or other appropriate proceeding, including to the full extent permitted by applicable law the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the obtaining of the ex parte appointment of a receiver, and, if any amount shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, the enforcement of the payment thereof. No remedy herein conferred upon the Agent or any Lender or any Lender Hedge Provider is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or any other provision of law. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement providing that the Loans may be evidenced by multiple Notes in favor of the Lenders, the Lenders acknowledge and agree that only the Agent may exercise any remedies arising by reason of a Default or Event of Default. If any Credit Party fails to perform any agreement or covenant contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents beyond any applicable period for notice and cure, Agent may itself perform, or cause to be performed, any agreement or covenant of such Person contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents which such Person shall fail to perform, and the out-of-pocket costs of such performance, together with any reasonable expenses, including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees actually incurred (including attorneys’ fees incurred in any appeal) by Agent in connection therewith, shall be payable by Borrower upon demand and shall constitute a part of the Obligations and shall if not paid within five (5) days after demand bear interest at the rate for overdue amounts as set forth in this Agreement. In the event that all or any portion of the Obligations is collected by or through an attorney-at-law, the Borrower shall pay all costs of collection including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees.

§12.5Distribution of Proceeds. In the event that, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any monies are received in connection with the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or otherwise with respect to the realization upon any assets of Credit Parties, such monies shall be distributed for application as follows:

 107

(a) First, to the payment of, or (as the case may be) the reimbursement of the Agent for or in respect of, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs, expenses, disbursements and losses which shall have been paid, incurred or sustained by the Agent in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents in connection with the collection of such monies by the Agent, for the exercise, protection or enforcement by the Agent of all or any of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in support of any provision of adequate indemnity to the Agent against any taxes or liens which by law shall have, or may have, priority over the rights of the Agent or the Lenders to such monies;

(b)Second, to all other Obligations (including any Letter of Credit Liabilities and any interest, expenses or other obligations incurred after the commencement of a bankruptcy) and Lender Hedge Obligations in the following order;

(i)To any other fees and expenses due to the Lenders or the Issuing Lender under the Loan Documents until paid in full;

(ii)to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on all Swing Loans until paid in full;

(iii)to payment of accrued and unpaid interest on all other Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, until paid in full;

(iv)to the payment of all unpaid principal on all Swing Loans until paid in full;

(v)payments of unpaid principal of all other Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities, to be paid to the Lenders and the Issuing Lender equally and ratably in accordance with the respective amounts thereof then due and owing to such Persons until paid in full; provided, however, to the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to this subsection are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of an outstanding Letter of Credit, such amounts shall be paid to the Agent to be held as Cash Collateral;

(vi) to payment of all other amounts due under any of the Loan Documents to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Agent, the Issuing Lender and/or the Lenders until paid in full; and

(vii)To any Lender Hedge Obligations equally and ratably in accordance with the respective amounts thereof then due and owing to such Persons; and

(c)Third, the excess, if any, shall be returned to the Borrower or to such other Persons as are entitled thereto.

§12.6Remedies in Respect of Hedge Obligations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or other Loan Document, each Lender Hedge Provider shall have the right, with prompt notice to the Agent, but without the approval or consent of or other action by the Agent or the Lenders, and without limitation of other remedies available to such Lender Hedge

 108

Provider under contract or Applicable Law, to undertake any of the following: (a) to declare an event of default, termination event or other similar event under any Hedge Obligation and to create an “Early Termination Date” (as defined therein) in respect thereof, (b) to determine net termination amounts in respect of any and all Derivatives Contracts to which it is a party in accordance with the terms thereof, and to set off amounts among such contracts, (c) to set off or proceed against deposit account balances, securities account balances and other property and amounts held by such Lender Hedge Provider and (d) to prosecute any legal action against the Borrower, any Credit Party or other Subsidiary to enforce or collect net amounts owing to such Lender Hedge Provider pursuant to any Derivatives Contract.

No Lender Hedge Provider that obtains the benefits of §12.6 by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Loan Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of any Loan Document other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article to the contrary, the Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Derivative Contracts with respect to Hedge Obligations unless the Agent has received written notice of such Derivatives Contracts, together with such supporting documentation as the Agent may request, from the applicable Lender Hedge Provider, unless such Hedge Obligations have been disclosed in any financial statements publicly filed by the Borrower or the Trust or submitted to the Agent by the Borrower hereunder.

§13.SETOFF. During the continuance of any Event of Default, any deposits (general or specific, time or demand, provisional or final, regardless of currency, maturity, or the branch where such deposits are held) or other sums credited by or due from any Lender or any Affiliate thereof to any Credit Party and any securities or other property of such parties in the possession of such Lender or any Affiliate may, without notice to any Credit Party (any such notice being expressly waived) but with the prior written approval of Agent, be applied to or set off against the payment of Obligations and any and all other liabilities, direct, or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, of the Credit Parties. Each of the Lenders agrees with each other Lender that if such Lender shall receive from a Credit Party, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of the right of setoff, or otherwise, and shall retain and apply to the payment of the Note or Notes held by such Lender any amount in excess of its ratable portion of the payments received by all of the Lenders with respect to the Notes held by all of the Lenders, such Lender will make such disposition and arrangements with the other Lenders with respect to such excess, either by way of distribution, pro tanto assignment of claims, subrogation or otherwise as shall result in each Lender receiving in respect of the Notes held by it its proportionate payment as contemplated by this Agreement; provided that if all or any part of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such disposition and arrangements shall be rescinded and the amount restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. In the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and (b) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the

 109

Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

§14.THE AGENT.

§14.1Authorization. The Agent is authorized to take such action on behalf of each of the Lenders and to exercise all such powers as are hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents and any related documents delegated to the Agent and all other powers not specifically reserved to the Lenders, together with such powers as are reasonably incident thereto, provided that no duties or responsibilities not expressly assumed herein or therein shall be implied to have been assumed by the Agent. The obligations of the Agent hereunder are primarily administrative in nature, and nothing contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to constitute the Agent as a trustee for any Lender or to create an agency or fiduciary relationship. Agent shall act as the contractual representative of the Lenders hereunder, and notwithstanding the use of the term “Agent”, it is understood and agreed that Agent shall not have any fiduciary duties or responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and is acting as an independent contractor, the duties and responsibilities of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Borrower and any other Person shall be entitled to conclusively rely on a statement from the Agent that it has the authority to act for and bind the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

§14.2Employees and Agents. The Agent may exercise its powers and execute its duties by or through employees or agents and shall be entitled to take, and to rely on, advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Agent may utilize the services of such Persons as the Agent may reasonably determine, and all reasonable fees and expenses of any such Persons shall be paid by the Borrower.

§14.3No Liability. Neither the Agent nor any of its shareholders, directors, officers or employees nor any other Person assisting them in their duties nor any agent, or employee thereof, shall be liable to the Lenders for (a) any waiver, consent or approval given or any action taken, or omitted to be taken, in good faith by it or them hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, or be responsible for the consequences of any oversight or error of judgment whatsoever, except that the Agent or such other Person, as the case may be, shall be liable for losses due to its willful misconduct or gross negligence as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the expiration of all applicable appeal periods or (b) any action taken or not taken by Agent with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or the Required Class Lenders, unless such action requires the approval of all Lenders and such approval was not obtained. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to the Loan Documents and describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.

 110

§14.4 No Representations. The Agent shall not be responsible for the execution or validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes, any of the other Loan Documents or any instrument at any time constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security for the Notes, or for the value of any such collateral security or for the validity, enforceability or collectability of any such amounts owing with respect to the Loan Documents, or for any recitals or statements, warranties or representations made herein, or any agreement, instrument or certificate delivered in connection therewith or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate or instrument hereafter furnished to it by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein or in any of the other Loan Documents. The Agent shall not be bound to ascertain whether any notice, consent, waiver or request delivered to it by the Borrower or any Lender shall have been duly authorized or is true, accurate and complete. The Agent has not made nor does it now make any representations or warranties, express or implied, nor does it assume any liability to the Lenders, with respect to the creditworthiness or financial condition of the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or the value of any other assets of the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based upon such information and documents as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, based upon such information and documents as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Agent’s Special Counsel has only represented Agent and KeyBank in connection with the Loan Documents and the only attorney client relationship or duty of care is between Agent’s Special Counsel and Agent or KeyBank. Each Lender has been independently represented by separate counsel on all matters regarding the Loan Documents.

§14.5Payments.

(a)A payment by the Borrower to the Agent hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents for the account of any Lender shall constitute a payment to such Lender. The Agent agrees to distribute to each Lender not later than one (1) Business Day after the Agent’s receipt of good funds, determined in accordance with the Agent’s customary practices, such Lender’s pro rata share of payments received by the Agent for the account of the Lenders except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents. In the event that the Agent fails to distribute such amounts within one Business Day as provided above, the Agent shall pay interest on such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect.

(b)If in the reasonable opinion of the Agent the distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder, under the Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve it in liability, it may refrain from making such distribution until its right to make such distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court.

 111

§14.6 Holders of Notes. Subject to the terms of §18, the Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the absolute owner or purchaser thereof for all purposes hereof until it shall have been furnished in writing with a different name by such payee or by a subsequent holder, assignee or transferee.

§14.7Indemnity. The Lenders ratably agree hereby to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent from and against any and all claims, actions and suits (whether groundless or otherwise), losses, damages, costs, expenses (including any expenses for which the Agent has not been reimbursed by the Borrower as required by §15), and liabilities of every nature and character arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Notes, or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated or evidenced hereby or thereby, or the Agent’s actions taken hereunder or thereunder, except to the extent that any of the same shall be directly caused by the Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the expiration of all applicable appeal periods. The agreements in this §14.7 shall survive the payment of all amounts payable under the Loan Documents.

§14.8Agent as Lender. In its individual capacity, KeyBank shall have the same obligations and the same rights, powers and privileges in respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it, and as the holder of any of the Notes as it would have were it not also the Agent.

§14.9Resignation. The Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. The Required Lenders may remove the Agent from its capacity as Agent in the event of the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or if the Agent is a Defaulting Lender. Any such resignation or removal may at Agent’s option also constitute Agent’s resignation as Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender (with the Commitment Percentage of the Lender which is acting as Agent shall not be taken into account in the calculation of Required Lenders for the purposes of removing Agent in the event of the Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence). Upon any such resignation, or removal, the Required Lenders, subject to the terms of §18.1, shall have the right to appoint as a successor Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, (i) any Lender or (ii) any bank whose senior debt obligations are rated not less than “A” or its equivalent by Moody’s or not less than “A” or its equivalent by S&P and which has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000. Unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such successor Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. If no successor Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lender’s removal of the Agent, then the retiring or removed Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be (i) any Lender or (ii) any financial institution whose senior debt obligations are rated not less than “A2” or its equivalent by Moody’s or not less than “A” or its equivalent by S&P and which has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, hereunder by a successor Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, such successor Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, and the retiring or removed Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and

 112

Swing Loan Lender, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder as Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal, the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender. If the resigning or removed Agent shall also resign as the Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, such successor Agent shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or shall make other arrangements satisfactory to the current Issuing Lender, in either case, to assume effectively the obligations of the current Agent with respect to such Letters of Credit. Upon any change in the Agent under this Agreement, the resigning or removed Agent shall execute such assignments of and amendments to the Loan Documents as may be necessary to substitute the successor Agent for the resigning or removed Agent.

§14.10Duties in the Case of Enforcement. In case one or more Events of Default have occurred and shall be continuing, and whether or not acceleration of the Obligations shall have occurred, the Agent may and, if (a) so requested by the Required Lenders and (b) the Lenders have provided to the Agent such additional indemnities and assurances in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages against expenses and liabilities as the Agent may reasonably request, shall proceed to exercise all or any legal and equitable and other rights or remedies as it may have; provided, however, that unless and until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Agent reasonably determines payment is in the best interest of all the Lenders, Agent may without the approval of the Lenders pay taxes and insurance premiums and spend money for maintenance, repairs or other expenses which may be necessary to be incurred, and Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Lenders of such action. Each Lender shall, within thirty (30) days of request therefor, pay to the Agent its Commitment Percentage of the reasonable costs incurred by the Agent in taking any such actions hereunder to the extent that such costs shall not be promptly reimbursed to the Agent by the Borrower within such period with respect to the Unencumbered Properties. The Required Lenders may direct the Agent in writing as to the method and the extent of any such exercise, the Lenders hereby agreeing to indemnify and hold the Agent harmless in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages from all liabilities incurred in respect of all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such directions, except to the extent that any of the same shall be directly caused by the Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the expiration of all applicable appeal periods, provided that the Agent need not comply with any such direction to the extent that the Agent reasonably believes the Agent’s compliance with such direction to be unlawful in any applicable jurisdiction or commercially unreasonable under the UCC as enacted in any applicable jurisdiction.

§14.11Bankruptcy. In the event a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding is commenced by or against any Credit Party with respect to the Obligations, the Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right to file and pursue a joint proof claim on behalf of all Lenders. Any votes with respect to such claims or otherwise with respect to such proceedings shall be subject to the vote of the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders as required by this Agreement. Each Lender irrevocably waives its right to file or pursue a separate proof of claim in any such

 113

proceedings unless Agent fails to file such claim within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from the Lenders requesting that Agent file such proof of claim.

§14.12Request for Agent Action. Agent and the Lenders acknowledge that in the ordinary course of business of the Credit Parties, Credit Parties may desire to enter into easements or other agreements affecting the Unencumbered Properties, or take other actions or enter into other agreements in the ordinary course of business which similarly require the consent, approval or agreement of the Agent. In connection with the foregoing, the Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Agent to execute consents, approvals, or other agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent in connection with such other actions or agreements as may be necessary in the ordinary course of Credit Parties’ business.

§14.13Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by an Authorized Officer. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, which by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

§14.14Approvals. If consent is required for some action under this Agreement, or except as otherwise provided herein an approval of the Lenders, the Required Lenders, or the Required Class Lenders of any Class is required or permitted under this Agreement, each Lender agrees to give the Agent, within ten (10) days of receipt of the request for action together with all reasonably requested information related thereto (or such lesser period of time required by the terms of the Loan Documents), notice in writing of approval or disapproval (collectively “Directions”) in respect of any action requested or proposed in writing pursuant to the terms hereof. To the extent that any Lender does not approve any recommendation of Agent, such Lender shall in such notice to Agent describe the actions that would be acceptable to such Lender. If consent is required for the requested action, any Lender’s failure to respond to a request for Directions within the required time period shall be deemed to constitute a Direction to take such requested action. In the event that any recommendation is not approved by the requisite number of Lenders and a subsequent approval on the same subject matter is requested by Agent, then for the purposes of this paragraph each Lender shall be required to respond to a request for Directions within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such request. Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to assume that any officer of the other Lenders delivering any notice, consent, certificate or other writing is authorized to give such notice, consent, certificate or other writing unless Agent and such other Lenders have otherwise been notified in writing.

§14.15Borrower Not Beneficiary. Except for the provisions of §14.9 relating to the appointment of a successor Agent, the provisions of this §14 are solely for the benefit of the

 114

Agent and the Lenders, may not be enforced by the Borrower, and except for the provisions of §14.9, may be modified or waived without the approval or consent of the Borrower.

§14.16Defaulting Lenders.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements:

(i)That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in §27.

(ii)Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to §13), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by the Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender or Swing Loan Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Agent or requested by the Issuing Lender or Swing Loan Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation or Letter of Credit or Swing Loan; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Lender or Swing Loan Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuing Lender or Swing Loan Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists or non-defaulting Lenders have been paid in full all amounts then due, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Letter of Credit Liabilities in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or Letter of Credit Liabilities were made at a time when the conditions set forth in §11 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Letter of Credit Liabilities owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Letter of Credit Liabilities owed to, that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this §14.16(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

 115

(iii) That Defaulting Lender which is a Revolving Credit Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any facility unused fee pursuant to §2.4 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in §2.11(e).

(iv)During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender which is a Revolving Credit Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans pursuant to §2.2 or §2.11, the “Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided, that, (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loan shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Commitment of that non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender minus (2) the aggregate Outstanding of the Revolving Credit Loans of and Letter of Credit Liabilities held by that non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender.

(v)If the reallocation described in the immediately preceding subsection (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure, as calculated and in accordance with the procedures set forth in this subsection.

(1)At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Credit Lender, within three (3) Business Days following the written request of the Agent or the Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Agent), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to the allocation described in the immediately preceding subsection (iv) (including, for certainty, any partial allocation) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the aggregate of such Fronting Exposure of the Issuing Lender with respect to the Letter of Credit issued and outstanding at such time.

(2)The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Credit Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grant to the Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lender, and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the obligations of Defaulting Lenders that are Revolving Credit Lenders to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Liabilities, to be applied pursuant to the immediately following clause (C). If at any time the Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Agent and the Issuing Lender as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the aggregate Fronting Exposure of the Issuing Lender with

 116

respect to Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at such time, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Agent, pay or provide to the Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Credit Lender).

(3)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Liabilities (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(4)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Liabilities (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(vi)During any period that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower may, by giving written notice thereof to the Agent, such Defaulting Lender, and the other Lenders, demand that such Defaulting Lender assign its Commitment to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of §18.1. No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. In addition, any Lender who is not a Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated, in its sole discretion, to acquire the face amount of all or a portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment via an assignment subject to and in accordance with the provisions of §18.1. No such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient with any applicable amounts held pursuant to the immediately preceding §14.6(ii), upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) such Defaulting Lender’s full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under any Legal Requirement without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

 117

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentage, as applicable (without giving effect to §14.16(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

§14.17Reliance on Hedge Provider. For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with §12.5, the Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the trustee, paying agent or other similar representative (each, a “Representative”) or, in the absence of such a Representative, upon the holder of the Hedge Obligations for a determination (which each holder of the Hedge Obligations agrees (or shall agree) to provide upon request of the Agent) of the outstanding Hedge Obligations owed to the holder thereof. Unless it has actual knowledge (including by way of written notice from such holder) to the contrary, the Agent, in acting hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that no Hedge Obligations are outstanding. Each Lender Hedge Provider not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Agent pursuant to the terms of §14 for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.

§14.18Certain ERISA Matters.

(a)Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Credit Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(i)such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement,

 118

certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement,

(iv)such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

(b)In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, that the Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

§14.19Erroneous Payments.

(a)If the Agent notifies a Lender, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (any such Lender, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Agent, and such Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, return to the Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which

 119

such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b)Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

(i)(A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii)such Lender shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Agent pursuant to this Section 14.19(b).

(c)Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Agent to such Lender from any source, against any amount due to the Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(d)In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and

 120

unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption Agreement by reference pursuant to an electronic platform approved by the Agent as to which the Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Agent, (ii) the Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender and (iv) the Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).

(e)The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Agent from the Borrower for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(f)To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine

(g)Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 14.19 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

§15. EXPENSES. The Borrower agrees to pay (a) the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Agent of producing and reproducing this Agreement, the other Loan

 121

Documents and the other agreements and instruments mentioned herein, (b) any documentary or intangible taxes in connection with the Loan Documents, and (c) the reasonable fees, and reasonable and documented out-or pocket expenses and disbursements of the outside counsel to the Agent and any local counsel to the Agent incurred in connection with the preparation, administration, or interpretation of the Loan Documents and other instruments mentioned herein, and amendments, modifications, approvals, consents or waivers hereto or hereunder, (d) all other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), expenses and disbursements (other than Taxes unless such payment is otherwise required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) of the Agent incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation or interpretation of the Loan Documents and other instruments mentioned herein, the addition or substitution of additional Unencumbered Properties (in connection with each Loan and/or otherwise), the review of leases, the making of each Loan hereunder, the issuance of Letters of Credit, and the third party out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the syndication of the Commitments pursuant to §18 hereof, and (e) without duplication, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, and the fees and costs of appraisers, engineers, investment bankers or other experts retained by any Lender or the Agent) incurred by any Lender or the Agent in connection with (i) the enforcement of or preservation of rights under any of the Loan Documents against the Credit Parties or the administration thereof after the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default and (ii) any litigation, proceeding or dispute whether arising hereunder or otherwise, in any way related to the Agent’s or any of the Lenders’ relationship with the Borrower (provided that any attorneys’ fees and costs pursuant to this clause (e) shall be limited to those incurred by the Agent, local counsel in each jurisdiction where an Unencumbered Property is located, and one other counsel with respect to the Lenders as a group), (f) all reasonable and documented fees, expenses and disbursements of the Agent incurred in connection with UCC searches and UCC filings, (g) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) which may be incurred by Agent in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (without duplication of any of the items listed above), and (h) all expenses relating to the use of Intralinks, SyndTrak or any other similar system for the dissemination and sharing of documents and information in connection with the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

§18.1Conditions to Assignment by Lenders. Except as provided herein, each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its interests, rights and

 123

obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Applicable Percentage and Commitment and the same portion of the Loans at the time owing to it and the Notes held by it and further including for purposes of this §18.1, participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans); provided that (a) the Agent and the Issuing Lender shall have each given its prior written consent to such assignment, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (b) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the assigned portion of the Commitment, (c) the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for recording in the Register (as hereinafter defined) an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement in the form of Exhibit H annexed hereto, together with any Notes subject to such assignment, (d) in no event shall any assignment be to any Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with, or which is not otherwise free from influence or control by, Borrower or Guarantor, and (e) such assignee shall acquire an interest in the Loans of not less than $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or if less, the remaining Loans of the assignor), unless waived by the Agent, and so long as no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, Borrower. Upon execution, delivery, acceptance and recording of such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and all other Loan Documents executed by the Lenders and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder, (ii) the assigning Lender shall, upon payment to the Agent of the registration fee referred to in §18.2, be released from its obligations under this Agreement arising after the effective date of such assignment with respect to the assigned portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (iii) the Agent may unilaterally amend Schedule 1.1 to reflect such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. In connection with each assignment, the assignee shall represent and warrant to the Agent, the assignor and each other Lender as to whether such assignee is controlling, controlled by, under common control with or is not otherwise free from influence or control by, the Borrower and the Guarantors and whether such assignee is a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

 124

§18.2 Register. The Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent for the Borrower, shall maintain on behalf of the Borrower a copy of each assignment delivered to it and a register or similar list (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Applicable Percentage of and principal amount of and interest on the Loans owing to the Lenders from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and the Lenders at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. This §18.2 shall be construed so that such obligations are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related regulations (and any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or such regulations). Any attempted assignment and delegation not made in accordance with this §18.2 shall be null and void. Upon each such recordation, the assigning Lender agrees to pay to the Agent a registration fee in the sum of $5,500.

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

§18.4Participations. Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Lenders or other entities in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (a) any such sale or participation shall not affect the rights and duties of the selling Lender hereunder, (b) such participation shall not entitle such participant to any rights or privileges under this Agreement or any Loan Documents, including without limitation, rights granted to the Lenders under §4.8, §4.9 and §4.10, (c) such participation shall not entitle the participant to the right to approve waivers, amendments or modifications, (d) such participant shall have no direct rights against the Borrower, (e) such participant shall be entitled to the benefits of §4.4(b) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to §18.1, but shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under §4.4(b) than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant and Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of §4.15, (f) such sale is effected in accordance with all applicable laws, (g) such participant shall not be a Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with, or which is not otherwise free from influence or control by any of the Borrower, and shall not be a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender or a natural Person (or a holding

 125

company, investment vehicle or trust fund or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person); and (h) such participant is a Eligible Assignee; provided, however, such Lender may agree with the participant that it will not, without the consent of the participant, agree to (i) increase, or extend the term or extend the time or waive any requirement for the reduction or termination of, such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on the Loans or portions thereof owing to such Lender (other than pursuant to an extension of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date pursuant to §2.13), (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal, (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon or (v) release any Credit Party (except as otherwise permitted under §5.2 or §5.4). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

§18.5Pledge by Lender. Any Lender may at any time pledge all or any portion of its interest and rights under this Agreement (including all or any portion of its Note) to secure the obligations of such Lender, including any pledge to secure its obligations to any of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks organized under §4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. §341 or any other central banking authority. No such pledge or the enforcement thereof shall release the pledgor Lender from its obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents.

§18.6No Assignment by Borrower. The Borrower shall not assign or transfer any of their rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each of the Lenders.

§18.7Disclosure. Borrower agrees to promptly and reasonably cooperate with any Lender in connection with any proposed assignment or participation of all or any portion of its Commitment. The Borrower agrees that, in addition to disclosures made in accordance with standard banking practices, any Lender may disclose information obtained by such Lender pursuant to this Agreement to assignees or participants and potential assignees or participants hereunder, but in all events subject to the terms hereof. Each Lender agrees for itself that it shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with its customary procedures to hold confidential all non-public information obtained from Borrower that has been identified in writing as confidential by any of them, and shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with its customary procedures to not disclose such information to any other Person, it being understood and agreed that, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender may make (a) disclosures to its participants (provided such Persons are advised of the provisions of this §18.7, and agree to destroy or return all

 126

confidential information if it does not become an assignee or participant), (b) disclosures to its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, accountants, appraisers, legal counsel and other professional advisors of such Lender (provided that such Persons who are not employees of such Lender are advised of the provision of this §18.7), (c), disclosures customarily provided or reasonably required by any potential or actual bona fide assignee, transferee or participant or their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, accountants, appraisers, legal counsel and other professional advisors in connection with a potential or actual assignment or transfer by such Lender of any Loans or any participations therein (provided such Persons are advised of the provisions of this §18.7), (d) disclosures to bank regulatory authorities or self-regulatory bodies with jurisdiction over such Lender, or (e) disclosures required or requested by any other Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process; provided that, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender shall notify Borrower of any request by any governmental authority or representative thereof prior to disclosure (other than any such request in connection with any examination of such Lender by such government authority) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information and provide (if permitted under applicable Legal Requirements) Borrower a reasonable opportunity to challenge the disclosure or require that such disclosure be made under seal. In addition, each Lender may make disclosure of such information to any contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisors (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisors agree to be bound by the provisions of this §18.7). In addition, the Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments. Non-public information shall not include any information which is or subsequently becomes publicly available other than as a result of a disclosure of such information by a Lender, or prior to the delivery to such Lender is within the possession of such Lender if such information is not known by such Lender to be subject to another confidentiality agreement with or other obligations of secrecy to the Borrower, or is disclosed with the prior approval of Borrower. Nothing herein shall prohibit the disclosure of non-public information to the extent necessary to enforce the Loan Documents.

§18.8Titled Agents. The Titled Agents shall not have any additional rights or obligations under the Loan Documents, except for those rights, if any, as a Lender.

§18.9Amendments to Loan Documents. Upon any such assignment or participation, the Borrower shall, upon the request of the Agent, enter into such documents as may be reasonably required by the Agent to modify the Loan Documents to reflect such assignment or participation.

§19.NOTICES.

Agent may also require that any such documents and signature delivered by facsimile or “PDF” format by electronic mail be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver any such manually-signed original shall not affect the effectiveness of any facsimile or “PDF” document or signature.

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

 131

§36.2Waiver of Defenses. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each of the Credit Parties hereby waives and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any defense based upon:

(a)Any right to require Agent or the Lenders to proceed against the other Credit Parties or any other Person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by Agent or the Lenders at any time or to pursue any other remedy in Agent’s or any Lender’s power or under any other agreement before proceeding against a Credit Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document;

(b)The defense of the statute of limitations in any action hereunder or the payment or performance of any of the Obligations;

(c)Any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any other Person or Persons or the failure of Agent or any Lender to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of any other Person or Persons;

(d)Any failure on the part of Agent or any Lender to ascertain the extent or nature of any security for the Obligations or insurance or other rights with respect thereto, or the liability of any party liable under the Loan Documents or the obligations evidenced or secured thereby;

(e)Demand, presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest and all other notices of any kind (except for such notices as are specifically required to be provided to Credit Parties pursuant to the Loan Documents), or the lack of any thereof, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, notice of the existence, creation or

 134

incurring of any new or additional indebtedness or obligation or of any action or non-action on the part of any Credit Party, Agent, any Lender, any endorser or creditor of the Credit Parties or on the part of any other Person whomsoever under this or any other instrument in connection with any obligation or evidence of indebtedness held by Agent or any Lender;

(f)Any defense based upon an election of remedies by Agent or any Lender, including any election to proceed by judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure of any security, whether real property or personal property security, or by deed in lieu thereof, and whether or not every aspect of any foreclosure sale is commercially reasonable, or any election of remedies, including remedies relating to real property or personal property security, which destroys or otherwise impairs the subrogation rights of a Credit Party or the rights of a Credit Party to proceed against the other Credit Parties for reimbursement, or both;

(g)Any right or claim of right to cause a marshaling of the assets of the Credit Parties;

(h)Any principle or provision of law, statutory or otherwise, which is or might be in conflict with the terms and provisions of this Agreement;

(i)Any duty on the part of Agent or any Lender to disclose to any Credit Party any facts Agent or any Lender may now or hereafter know about a Credit Party, regardless of whether Agent or any Lender has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which such Credit Party intends to assume or has reason to believe that such facts are unknown to such Credit Party or has a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to any Credit Party, it being understood and agreed that each Credit Party is fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the other Credit Parties, of the condition of the Unencumbered Properties and of any and all circumstances bearing on the risk that liability may be incurred by the Credit Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents;

(j)Any inaccuracy of any representation or other provision contained in any Loan Document;

(k)Subject to compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, any sale or assignment of the Loan Documents, or any interest therein;

(l)Subject to compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, any sale or assignment by a Credit Party or any other Person of any Unencumbered Properties, or any portion thereof or interest therein, not consented to by Agent or any Lender;

(m)Any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any one or more of the Loan Documents;

(n)Any lack of commercial reasonableness in dealing with the Obligations;

(o)Any deficiencies in the Unencumbered Properties or any deficiency in the ability of Agent or any Lender to collect or to obtain performance from any Persons now or hereafter liable for the payment and performance of any obligation hereby guaranteed;

 135

(p) An assertion or claim that the automatic stay provided by 11 U.S.C. §362 (arising upon the voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding of the other Credit Parties) or any other stay provided under any other Debtor Relief Law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, shall operate or be interpreted to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Agent or any Lender to enforce any of its rights, whether now or hereafter required, which Agent or any Lender may have against a Credit Party or the Unencumbered Property owned by it;

(q)Any modifications of the Loan Documents or any obligation of Credit Parties relating to the Loan by operation of law or by action of any court, whether pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, or any other Debtor Relief Law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, or otherwise;

(r)Any release of a Credit Party or of any other Person from performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in any of the Loan Documents by operation of law, Agent’s or the Lenders’ voluntary act or otherwise;

(s)Any action, occurrence, event or matter consented to by the Agent or the Lenders under any provision hereof, or otherwise;

(t)The dissolution or termination of existence of any Credit Party;

(u)Either with or without notice to the Credit Parties, any renewal, extension, modification, amendment or another changes in the Obligations, including but not limited to any material alteration of the terms of payment or performance of the Obligations;

(v)Any defense of the Credit Parties, including without limitation, the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Obligations; or

(w)To the fullest extent permitted by law, any other legal, equitable or surety defenses whatsoever to which any Credit Party might otherwise be entitled, it being the intention that the obligations of each Credit Party hereunder are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable.

§36.3Waiver. Each of the Credit Parties waives, to the fullest extent that each may lawfully so do, the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, homestead, exemption and redemption laws which such Person may claim or seek to take advantage of in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents or the exercise by Lenders or Agent of any of their respective remedies under the Loan Documents. Each of the Credit Parties further agree that the Lenders and Agent shall be entitled to exercise their respective rights and remedies under the Loan Documents or at law or in equity in such order as they may elect. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Credit Parties further agree that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Lenders and Agent may exercise any of such rights and remedies without notice to any of the Credit Parties except as required by law or the Loan Documents and agrees that neither the Lenders nor Agent shall be required to proceed against the other of the Credit Parties or any other Person or to proceed against or to exhaust any other security held by the Lenders or Agent at any time or to pursue any other remedy in Lender’s or Agent’s power or

 136

under any of the Loan Documents before proceeding against a Credit Party or its assets under the Loan Documents.

§36.4Subordination. So long as the Loans are outstanding, each of the Credit Parties hereby expressly waive any right of contribution from or indemnity against the other, whether at law or in equity, arising from any payments made by such Person pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and each of the Credit Parties acknowledges that it has no right whatsoever to proceed against the other for reimbursement of any such payments. In connection with the foregoing, each of the Credit Parties expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation to the Lenders or Agent against the other of the Credit Parties, and each of the Credit Parties hereby waives any rights to enforce any remedy which the Lenders or Agent may have against the other of the Credit Parties and any rights to participate in any security for the Obligations or any other assets of the other Credit Parties. In addition to and without in any way limiting the foregoing, each of the Credit Parties hereby subordinates any and all indebtedness it may now or hereafter owe to such other Credit Parties to all indebtedness of the Credit Parties to the Lenders and Agent, and agrees with the Lenders and Agent that no Credit Party shall claim any offset or other reduction of such Credit Party’s obligations hereunder because of any such indebtedness and shall not take any action to obtain any other assets of the other Credit Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this §36.4, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each of the Credit Parties may make and may receive and retain regularly scheduled payments, on any and all indebtedness it may now or hereafter owe to such other Credit Parties.

§36.5Further Waivers. Each Credit Party intentionally, freely, irrevocably and unconditionally waives and relinquishes all rights which may be available to it under any provision of California law or under any California judicial decision, including, without limitation, Section 580a and 726(b) of the California Code of Civil Procedure, to limit the amount of any deficiency judgment or other judgment which may be obtained against such Credit Party under this Agreement to not more than the amount by which the unpaid Obligations exceeds the fair market value or fair value of any real or personal property securing the Obligations, including, without limitation, all rights to an appraisement of, judicial or other hearing on, or other determination of the value of said property. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that, as a result of the foregoing waiver, the Agent or the Lenders may be entitled to recover from such Credit Party an amount which, when combined with the value of any real or personal property foreclosed upon by the Agent (or the proceeds of the sale of which have been received by the Agent and the Lenders) and any sums collected by the Agent and the Lenders from any other Credit Party or other Persons, might exceed the amount of the Obligations.

§37. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF BENEFITS; EFFECT OF AVOIDANCE PROVISIONS.

(a)Without limiting any other provision of §36, each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges that it has received, or will receive, significant financial and other benefits, either directly or indirectly, from the proceeds of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; that the benefits received by such Subsidiary Guarantor are reasonably equivalent consideration for such Subsidiary Guarantor’s execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party; and that such benefits include,

 137

without limitation, the access to capital afforded to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement from which the activities of such Subsidiary Guarantor will be supported, the refinancing of certain existing indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor secured by such Subsidiary Guarantor’s assets from the proceeds of the Loans, and the ability to refinance that indebtedness at a lower interest rate and otherwise on more favorable terms than would be available to it if the assets owned by such Subsidiary Guarantor were being financed on a stand-alone basis and not as part of a pool of assets comprising the security for the Obligations. Each Subsidiary Guarantor is executing this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in consideration of those benefits received by it and each Subsidiary Guarantor desires to enter into an allocation and contribution agreement with each other Subsidiary Guarantor as set forth in this §37 and agrees to subordinate and subrogate any rights or claims it may have against other Subsidiary Guarantors as and to the extent set forth in §36.

(b)In the event any one or more Subsidiary Guarantors (any such Subsidiary Guarantor, a “Funding Party”) is deemed to have paid an amount in excess of the principal amount attributable to it (such principal amount, the “Allocable Principal Balance”) (any deemed payment in excess of the applicable Allocable Principal Balance, a “Contribution”) as a result of such Funding Party’s payment of and/or performance on the Obligations, then after payment in full of the Loans and the satisfaction of all of Subsidiary Guarantors’ other obligations under the Loan Documents, such Funding Party shall be entitled to contribution from each benefited Subsidiary Guarantor for the amount of the Contribution so benefited (any such contribution, a “Reimbursement Contribution”), up to such benefited Subsidiary Guarantor’s then current Allocable Principal Balance. Any Reimbursement Contributions required to be made hereunder shall, subject to §36, be made within ten (10) days after demand therefor.

(c)If a Subsidiary Guarantor (a “Defaulting Party”) shall have failed to make a Reimbursement Contribution as hereinabove provided, after the later to occur of (a) payment of the Loan in full and the satisfaction of all of all Subsidiary Guarantors’ other obligations to Lenders or (b) the date which is 366 days after the payment in full of the Loans, the Funding Party to whom such Reimbursement Contribution is owed shall be subrogated to the rights of Lenders against such Defaulting Party; provided, however, if Agent returns any payments in connection with a bankruptcy of a Subsidiary Guarantor, all other Subsidiary Guarantors shall jointly and severally pay to Agent and Lenders all such amounts returned, together with interest at the Default Rate accruing from and after the date on which such amounts were returned.

(d)In the event that at any time there exists more than one Funding Party with respect to any Contribution (in any such case, the “Applicable Contribution”), then Reimbursement Contributions from Defaulting Party pursuant hereto shall be equitably allocated among such Funding Party. In the event that at any time any Subsidiary Guarantor pays an amount hereunder in excess of the amount calculated pursuant to this paragraph, that Subsidiary Guarantor shall be deemed to be a Funding Party to the extent of such excess and shall be entitled to a Reimbursement Contribution from the other Borrower in accordance with the provisions of this §37.

(e)It is the intent of each Subsidiary Guarantor, the Agent and the Lenders that in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Debtor Relief Laws, such Subsidiary Guarantor’s maximum obligation hereunder shall equal, but not exceed, the

 138

maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor to the Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents) to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Subsidiary Guarantor in such proceeding as a result of Applicable Law, including, without limitation, (i) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in such proceeding, whether by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. The Laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor to the Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents) shall be determined in any such proceeding are referred to herein as “Avoidance Provisions”. Accordingly, to the extent that the obligations of a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Obligations for which such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to the greater of (A) the amount which, as of the time any of the Obligations are deemed to have been incurred by such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor to the Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents), to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions or (B) the amount which, as of the time demand is made hereunder upon such Subsidiary Guarantor for payment on account of the Obligations, would not cause the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor to the Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents), to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions. The provisions of this §37(e) are intended solely to preserve the rights of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, and no Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section as against the Agent and the Lenders that would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.

§38. ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND CONSENT TO BAIL-IN OF AFFECTED FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(i)the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

(ii)the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(1)a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

 139

(2) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

§39. ACKNOWLEDGMENT REGARDING ANY SUPPORTED QFCS.

To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guaranty, mortgage, or otherwise, for any Hedge or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, default rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

§2.1Loans.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the 2027 Term Lenders severally agrees to make a term loan (each, a “2027 Closing Date Loan”) to

37 

the Borrower in Dollars on the Closing Date, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed its Applicable Percentage of $150,000,000; provided, that in all events no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the aggregate Outstanding amount of such Lender’s Loans shall not exceed its Commitment, and the Total Exposure shall not exceed the Facility Cap.

(b)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the 2027 Term Lenders severally agrees to make additional term loans (each such loan, a “2027 Delayed Draw Term Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on no more than five (5) occasions, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed such Lender’s unfunded Commitment as of such date; provided, that in all events no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the aggregate Outstanding amount of such Lender’s Loans shall not exceed its Commitment, and the Total Exposure shall not exceed the Facility Cap.

(c)The Borrower may not re-borrow any portion of a Loan which is repaid. Upon a Lender’s funding of a 2027 Closing Date Loan or 2027 Delayed Draw Loan, such Lender’s unfunded 2027 Term Commitment shall be permanently reduced by the principal amount of such Loan. All Commitments shall terminate on the Availability Period Termination Date if not previously terminated pursuant hereto.

(d)The Loans shall be made pro rata in accordance with each Lender’s Applicable Percentage. Each request for a Loan hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that all of the conditions required of Borrower set forth in §10 and §11 have been satisfied (unless waived by Agent in writing) on the date of such request (or if such condition is required to have been satisfied only as of the initial Closing Date, that such condition was satisfied as of the Closing Date). The Agent may assume that the conditions in §10 and §11 have been satisfied (unless waived by Agent in writing) unless it receives prior written notice from a Lender that such conditions have not been satisfied or waived. No Lender shall have any obligation to make Loans to Borrower in the maximum aggregate principal outstanding balance of more than the principal face amount of its Note or its Commitment, as applicable.

§2.2RESERVED.

§2.3Notes.

(b)The Loans shall, if requested by any Lender, be evidenced by separate promissory notes of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (collectively, the “Notes”), dated of even date with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in §18.3) and completed with appropriate insertions. One Note shall be payable to the order of each Lender which so requests the issuance of a Note in the principal amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment or, if less, the outstanding amount of all Loans made by such Lender, plus interest accrued thereon, as set forth below.

§2.7Interest on Loans.

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

(b)Each Loan of each Class that is a Daily Simple SOFR Loan, shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the date on which such Daily Simple SOFR Loan is repaid or converted to a Term SOFR Loan or a Base Rate Loan, at the rate per annum equal to the sum of Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR plus the Applicable Margin for the applicable Class of Daily Simple SOFR Loans.

(c)Each Loan of each Class that is a Term SOFR Loan, shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of each Interest Period with respect thereto, at the rate per annum equal to the sum of Adjusted Term SOFR determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for the applicable class of Term SOFR Loans.

(d)The Borrower promises to pay interest on each Loan in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect thereto.

(e)Base Rate Loans and SOFR Loans may be converted to Loans of the other Type as provided in §4.1.

(f)The parties understand that the applicable interest rate for the Loans and certain fees set forth herein may be determined and/or adjusted from time to time based upon certain financial ratios and/or other information to be provided or certified to the Lenders by Borrower (the “Borrower Information”). If it is subsequently determined that any such Borrower Information was incorrect (for whatever reason, including without limitation because of a subsequent restatement of earnings by the Borrower) at the time it was delivered to the Agent, and if the applicable interest rate or fees calculated for any period were different than they should have been had the correct information been timely provided, then, such interest rate and such fees for such period shall be automatically recalculated using correct Borrower Information. The Agent shall promptly notify Borrower in writing of any additional interest and fees due because of such recalculation, and the Borrower shall pay such additional interest or fees due to the Agent, for the account of each Lender, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such written notice. Borrower shall receive a credit or refund of any overpayment promptly after such determination. Any recalculation of interest or fees required by this provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days, and this provision shall not in any way limit any of the Agent’s or any Lender’s other rights under this Agreement.

§2.8Requests for Loans. Except with respect to any 2027 Closing Date Loan on the Closing Date, the Borrower shall give to the Agent written notice executed by an Authorized

39 

Officer in the form of Exhibit D hereto (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing in the form of Exhibit D hereto) of each 2027 Delayed Draw Loan requested hereunder (a “Loan Request”) by 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to Base Rate Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Loans and two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to Term SOFR Loans, together with an updated Compliance Certificate calculated on a pro forma basis. Each such notice shall specify with respect to the requested 2027 Delayed Draw Loan the proposed principal amount of such Loan, the Type of Loan, the initial Interest Period (if applicable) for such Loan and the Drawdown Date. Promptly upon receipt of any such notice, the Agent shall notify each of the Lenders thereof. Each such Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept the 2027 Delayed Draw Loan requested from the applicable Lenders on the proposed Drawdown Date. The Borrower shall be liable to each Lender for any costs or expenses incurred by such Lender in the event that they fail to borrow any requested Term SOFR LoanNothing herein shall prevent the Borrower from seeking recourse against any Lender that fails to advance its proportionate share of a requested Loan as required by this Agreement. Each Loan Request shall be (a) for a Base Rate Loan in a minimum aggregate amount of $100,000; or (b) for a SOFR Loan in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 and minimum increments of $250,000 in excess thereof; provided, however, that (i) a 2027 Delayed Draw Loan may be in the aggregate amount of the remaining unfunded amount of the 2027 Term Commitments and (ii) there shall be no more than five (5) Term SOFR Loans outstanding at any one time.

§2.9Funds for Loans.

(a)Not later than noon (Eastern time) on the proposed Drawdown Date of any 2027 Delayed Draw Loans, each of the Lenders will make available to the Agent, at the Agent’s Head Office, in immediately available funds, the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of the requested Loans, which may be disbursed pursuant to §2.1. Upon receipt from each such Lender of such amount, and upon receipt of the documents required by §10 and §11 and the satisfaction of the other conditions set forth therein to the extent applicable, the Agent will make available to the Borrower the aggregate amount of such Loans made available to the Agent by the 2027 Term Lenders by crediting such amount to the account of the Borrower maintained at the Agent’s Head Office or wiring such funds in accordance with Borrower’s written instructions. The failure or refusal of any Lender to make available to the Agent at the aforesaid time and place on any Drawdown Date the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the requested Loans shall not relieve any other Lender of the applicable Class from its several obligation hereunder to make available to the Agent the amount of such other Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any requested Loans, including any additional Loans that may be requested subject to the terms and conditions hereof to provide funds to replace those not advanced by the Lender so failing or refusing.

(b)Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Lender of any Class prior to the applicable Drawdown Date that such Lender will not make available to Agent such Lender’s Applicable Percentage, of a proposed Loan, Agent may in its discretion assume that such Lender has made such Loan available to Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Agent may, if it chooses, in reliance upon such assumption make such Loan available to the Borrower, and such Lender shall be liable to the Agent for the amount of such

40 

advance. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount upon the Agent’s demand therefor, the Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall promptly pay such corresponding amount to the Agent. The Agent shall also be entitled to recover from the Lender or the Borrower (without duplication), as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Agent at a per annum rate equal to (i) from the Borrower at the applicable rate for such Loan or (ii) from a Lender at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

§2.10Use of Proceeds. The Borrower and their Subsidiaries will use the proceeds of the Loans solely to (a) pay closing costs in connection with this Agreement; (b) repay existing loans, (c) fund acquisitions of Eligible Real Estate, (d) fund capital and construction expenditures, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and property and equipment acquisitions; and (e) for general working capital purposes (including without limitation to finance direct and indirect acquisitions and other investments in real estate, interest shortfalls, general operating expenses).

§2.11RESERVED.

§2.12Additional Term Loans.

(a)Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this §2.12, the Borrower shall have the option to request increases in the Total Commitment, at any time and from time to time before at least three (3) months prior to the latest Maturity Date, in an amount such the Global Commitment would not exceed $1,000,000,000.00 (after giving effect to each such increase), which increase shall be allocated one or more tranches of term loan commitments, which may include the 2027 Term Commitments (each, an “Additional Term Commitment”) by giving written notice to the Agent (an “Increase Notice”; and the amount of each such requested increase, a “Commitment Increase”), provided that any such individual increase must be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000. Upon receipt of any Increase Notice, the Agent shall consult with Arrangers and within ten (10) days shall notify the Borrower of the amount of facility fees to be paid to any Lenders who provide an Additional Term Commitment in connection with such increase (which shall be in addition to the fees to be paid to Agent or Arrangers pursuant to the Agreement Regarding Fees). If the Borrower agrees to pay the facility fees so determined, then the Agent promptly shall send a notice to all Lenders (the “Additional Commitment Request Notice”) informing them of the Borrower’s request to increase the Total Commitment and of the facility fees to be paid with respect thereto. Each Lender who desires to provide an Additional Term Commitment, in each case, upon such terms described in the Additional Commitment Request Notice, shall provide Agent with a written commitment letter specifying the amount of the Additional Term Commitment, as applicable, by which it is willing to provide prior to such deadline as may be specified in the Additional Commitment Request Notice not to exceed ten (10) days. If the requested increase is oversubscribed then the Agent and the Arrangers shall allocate the Commitment Increase among the Lenders, who provide such commitment letters on such basis mutually acceptable to each of the Borrower, Agent and Arrangers. If the Additional Term Commitments so provided are not sufficient to provide the full amount of the Commitment Increase requested by the Borrower, then the Agent, Arrangers or Borrower will seek one or

41 

more banks or lending institutions (which banks or lending institutions shall be reasonably acceptable to Agent, Arrangers and Borrower) to become a Lender and provide an Additional Term Commitment, as applicable. The Agent shall provide all Lenders with a notice setting forth the amount, if any, of the Additional Term Commitment to be provided by each Lender and the revised Applicable Percentages which shall be applicable after the effective date of the Additional Term Commitment specified therein (the “Commitment Increase Date”). In no event shall any Lender be obligated to provide an Additional Term Commitment.

(b)Any Additional Term Commitment may, if determined necessary by the Agent and the Lenders providing such Additional Term Commitments, in their reasonable discretion, be effected pursuant to one or more amendments (the “Additional Term Loan Amendment”) executed and delivered by the Borrower, the applicable Lenders providing such Additional Term Commitments, and the Agent. All Additional Term Loans shall (A) mature on the Maturity Date with respect thereto as set forth in the applicable Additional Term Loan Amendment, but shall mature no earlier than the earliest Maturity Date for any Class of outstanding Loans, (B) bear interest at such rates as are agreed upon by the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Additional Term Loans, (C) not require scheduled amortization prior to the earliest Maturity Date for any Class of outstanding Loans but may permit voluntary prepayment (subject to sub-clause (D) hereof), and (D) not rank higher than pari passu in right of payment and with respect to security with all other existing Loans or have different borrower or guarantors as the Borrower and Guarantors with respect to all other Obligations. Each Additional Term Loan Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are consistent with this Section 2.12 and may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.12 with respect thereto. On any Commitment Increase Date on which any Additional Term Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each applicable Lender shall make an Additional Term Loan to the Borrower (an “Additional Term Loan”) in an amount equal to its Additional Term Commitment as of such date, and (ii) each new Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the Additional Term Commitment and the Additional Term Loans made pursuant thereto.

(c)[Reserved].

(d)Upon the effective date of each increase in the Commitment pursuant to this §2.12 the Agent may unilaterally revise Schedule 1.1 and the Borrower shall, if requested by such Lender, execute and deliver to the Agent new Notes for each Lender who provided an Additional Term Loan. The Agent shall deliver such replacement Notes to the respective Lenders in exchange for the Notes replaced thereby which shall be surrendered by such Lenders and delivered to Borrower. Such new Notes shall provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Notes and that they do not constitute a novation, shall be dated as of the Commitment Increase Date and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the replaced Notes.

(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any increase in the Total Commitment pursuant to this §2.12 shall be conditioned upon satisfaction or waiver of the following conditions precedent which must be satisfied or waived prior to the effectiveness of any increase of the Total Commitment:

42 

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

(ii)No Default. On the date any Increase Notice is given and on the date such increase becomes effective, both immediately before and after the Total Commitment is increased, there shall exist no Default or Event of Default; and

(iii)Representations True. The representations and warranties made by the Borrower in the Loan Documents or otherwise made by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection therewith or after the date thereof shall have been true and correct in all material respects when made and shall also be true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent that any representation and warranty that is qualified by materiality shall be true and correct in all respects) on the date of such Increase Notice and on the date the Total Commitment is increased (unless such representations are limited by their terms to a specific date), both immediately before and after the Total Commitment is increased, other than for changes in the ordinary course of business permitted by this Agreement; and

(iv)Additional Documents and Expenses. The Borrower shall execute and deliver to Agent and the Lenders such additional documents, instruments, certifications and opinions as the Agent may reasonably require, including, without limitation, a Compliance Certificate, demonstrating compliance with all covenants set forth in the Loan Documents after giving effect to the increase, and the Borrower shall pay the cost of any updated UCC searches, all recording costs and fees, and any and all intangible taxes or other documentary taxes, assessments or charges or any similar reasonable fees, taxes or expenses which are reasonably requested in connection with such increase.

§2.13RESERVED.

§2.14Pro Rata Treatment.

(a)As provided elsewhere herein, all interests of the Lenders in the Loans and the Loan Documents shall be ratable undivided interests and none of such Lenders’ interests shall have priority over the others. Each payment delivered to the Agent for the account of any Lender or amount to be applied or paid by the Agent to any Lender shall be paid promptly by the Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Agent received at such Lender’s address specified pursuant to §19.

(b)Except to the extent otherwise explicitly provided in this Agreement: (a) the making of any Loans under §2.12 shall be made from the applicable Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective commitments for such Loans; (b) each payment of such Class or prepayment of principal of Loans of any Class shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans of such

43 

Class held by them; and (c) the conversion and continuation of Loans of a particular Class and Type shall be made pro rata among the Lenders of such Class according to the amounts of their respective Loans of such Class, and the then current Interest Period for each Lender’s portion of each such Loan of such Type shall be coterminous.

If at any time the Total Exposure exceeds the Facility Cap, then the Borrower shall, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice from Agent of such occurrence, (i) to the extent Total Exposure exceeds the Facility Cap due to the Total Exposure being greater than the Total Commitment, repay the Loans in an aggregate principal amount at least equal to such excess to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Lenders, and (ii) to the extent the Total Exposure exceeds the Facility Cap due to the Unencumbered Pool Value being less than the Total Exposure, either, in Borrower’s discretion, (A) add additional Eligible Real Estate to the Unencumbered Pool with an aggregate value sufficient to cause the Facility Cap to exceed the Total Exposure, or (B) repay the Loans in an aggregate principal amount at least equal to such excess to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Lenders.

§3.3Optional Prepayments.

(a)Borrower shall have the right, at its election, to prepay the outstanding amount of the Loans of any Class, as a whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium; provided, that if any prepayment of the outstanding amount of any Term SOFR Loans pursuant to this §3.3 is made on a date that is not the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, such prepayment shall be accompanied by the payment of any amounts due pursuant to §4.8.

(b)The Borrower shall give the Agent, no later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) at least three (3) days prior written notice of any prepayment pursuant to this §3.3, in each case specifying the proposed date of prepayment of the Loans, the Class of Loans to be prepaid, and the principal amount to be prepaid (provided that (i) any such notice may be revoked or modified upon one (1) day’s prior notice to the Agent) and/or (ii) any such notice or repayment may be conditioned upon the consummation of a transaction.

All or any part of the outstanding Loans of any Class and Type may be converted as provided herein, provided that no partial conversion shall result in a Base Rate Loan in a principal amount of less than $1,000,000 or a SOFR Loan in a principal amount of less than $1,000,000. On the date on which such conversion is being made, each Lender shall take such action as is necessary to transfer its Applicable Percentage of such Loans, as applicable, to its Applicable Lending Office. Each Conversion/Continuation Request relating to the conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a SOFR Loan shall be irrevocable by the Borrower.

(b)Any Term SOFR Loan may be continued as such Type upon the expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto by compliance by the Borrower with the terms of §4.1; provided that no Term SOFR Loan may be continued as such when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto ending during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default.

(c)In the event that the Borrower does not notify the Agent of their election hereunder with respect to any Term SOFR Loan, such Loan shall be automatically continued at the end of the applicable Interest Period as a Term SOFR Loan for an Interest Period of one month unless such Interest Period shall be greater than the time remaining until the Maturity Date of the applicable Class of Loans, in which case such Loan shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan at the end of the applicable Interest Period.

§4.4 Funds for Payments.

(a)All payments of principal, interest, facility fees, closing fees and any other amounts due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made to the Agent, for the respective accounts of the Lenders and the Agent, as the case may be, at the Agent’s Head Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the day when due, in each case in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds. The Agent is hereby authorized to charge the accounts of the Borrower with KeyBank, on the dates when the amount thereof shall become due and payable, with the amounts of the principal of and interest on the Loans and all fees, charges, expenses and other amounts owing to the Agent and/or the Lenders under the Loan Documents. Subject to the foregoing, all payments made to the Agent on behalf of the Lenders, and actually received by the Agent, shall be deemed received by the Lenders on the date actually received by the Agent.

(b)All payments by the Borrower hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim, and free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower or other applicable Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this §4.4) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c)The Borrower and the Guarantors shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d)The Borrower and the Guarantors shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this §4.4) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that the determinations in such statement are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

(e)Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower or a Guarantor has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower and the Guarantors to do

46 

so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of §18.4 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this subsection.

(f)As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or any Guarantor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this §4.4, the Borrower or such Guarantor shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

(g)(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in the immediately following clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

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

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

(B)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under

47 

this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(I)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(II)an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8ECI;

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

(IV)to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2 or Exhibit J-3, IRS Form W 9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

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

(D)if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in

48 

Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h)If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this §4.4 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this §4.4), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this §4.4 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable third party out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party actually incurred and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund has not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it reasonably deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i)Each party’s obligations under this §4.4 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(j)The obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders under this Agreement shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, or any other Loan Document; (ii) any improper use which may be made of any proceeds of the Loans; (iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or any right which the

49 

Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates may have at any time against the Lenders (other than the defense of payment to the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or any other person, whether in connection with athis Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any unrelated transaction; (iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; (v) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; and (vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

§4.5Computations. All computations of interest on the Loans and of other fees to the extent applicable shall be based on a 360-day year, except that interest computed by reference to the Base Rate (except at times when the Base Rate is determined with reference to Term SOFR) shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be paid for the actual number of days elapsed. Except as otherwise provided in the definition of the term “Interest Period” with respect to Term SOFR Loans, whenever a payment hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such extension. The Outstanding Loans as reflected on the records of the Agent from time to time shall be considered prima facie evidence of such amount.

§4.6Suspension of SOFR Loans. (i) If the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower) that the Daily Simple SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR, or SOFR cannot be determined temporarily pursuant to the definition thereof on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period other than due to a Benchmark Transition Event, the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Upon notice thereof by the Agent to the Borrower and each Lender, (i) any obligation of the Lenders to make or continue SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans shall be suspended to the extent of the applicable Interest Period, (ii) all SOFR Loans of the affected Interest Period shall be immediately converted to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans shall be determined by the Lender without reference to the SOFR component of Base Rate) and (iii) the component of Base Rate based upon Term SOFR will not be used in any determination of Base Rate, in each case, until the Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay any additional amounts required pursuant to §4.8; and/or (ii) If the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower) that Daily Simple SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR, SOFR cannot be determined permanently pursuant to the definition thereof as a result of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender, and the provisions of §4.16 of this Agreement shall be applicable. Upon notice thereof by the Agent to the Borrower and the Lenders, (i) any obligation of the Lenders to make or continue SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans shall be suspended, (ii) all SOFR Loans shall be immediately converted to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans shall be determined by the Agent without reference to the SOFR component of Base Rate) and (iii) the component of Base Rate based upon SOFR will not be used in any determination of Base Rate. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

50 

Unless and until the Agent and the Borrower have amended this Agreement to provide for a Benchmark Replacement in accordance with §4.16 of this Agreement, all Loans shall be Base Rate Loans.

§4.7Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority having jurisdiction over a Lender or its Applicable Lending Office shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make or maintain SOFR Loans, such Lender shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances to the Agent and the Borrower thereupon (a) the commitment of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans shall forthwith be suspended and (b) the SOFR Loans then outstanding shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such SOFR Loans or within such earlier period as may be required by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, before giving such notice, the applicable Lender shall designate a different lending office if such designation will void the need for giving such notice and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender or increase any costs payable by Borrower hereunder.

§4.8Additional Interest. If any Term SOFR Loan or any portion thereof is repaid or is converted to a Base Rate Loan for any reason on a date which is prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Term SOFR Loan, or if repayment of the Loans has been accelerated as provided in §12.1, or if the Borrower fails to draw down on the first day of the applicable Interest Period any amount as to which the Borrower has elected a Term SOFR Loan, the Borrower will pay to the Agent upon demand for the account of the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages, in addition to any amounts of interest otherwise payable hereunder, the Breakage Costs. Borrower understand, agree and acknowledge the following: (i) no Lender has any obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the use of SOFR as a basis for calculating the rate of interest on a SOFR Loan; (ii) SOFR is used merely as a reference in determining such rate; and (iii) Borrower have accepted SOFR as a reasonable and fair basis for calculating such rate and any Breakage Costs. Borrower further agree to pay the Breakage Costs, if any, whether or not a Lender elects to purchase, sell and/or match funds.

§4.9Additional Costs, Etc. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Change in Law, shall:

(a)subject any Lender or the Agent to any Taxes or withholding of any nature with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, such Lender’s Commitment or the Loans (other than for Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and Connection Income Taxes), or

(b)[Reserved], or

(c)impose or increase or render applicable any special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge, reserve, assessment, liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law and which are not already reflected in any amounts payable by Borrower hereunder) against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, or commitments of an office of any Lender, or

51 

(d) impose on any Lender or the Agent any other conditions or requirements with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Loans, such Lender’s Commitment, or any loans or commitments of which any of the Loans or such Lender’s Commitment forms a part; and the result of any of the foregoing is:

(i)to increase the cost to any Lender of making, continuing, converting to, funding, issuing, renewing, extending or maintaining any of the Loans or such Lender’s Commitment, or

(ii)to reduce the amount of principal, interest or other amount payable to any Lender or the Agent hereunder on account of such Lender’s Commitment or any of the Loans, or

(iii)require any Lender or the Agent to make any payment or to forego any interest or other sum payable hereunder, the amount of which payment or foregone interest or other sum is calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum receivable or deemed received by such Lender or the Agent from the Borrower hereunder, then, and in each such case, the Borrower will, within fifteen (15) days of demand made by such Lender or (as the case may be) the Agent at any time and from time to time and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay to such Lender or the Agent such additional amounts as such Lender or the Agent shall determine in good faith to be sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Agent for such additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest or other sum. Each Lender and the Agent in determining such amounts may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods generally applied by such Lender or the Agent, in such case (a) through (d), so long as such amounts have accrued on or before the day that is two hundred and seventy (270) days prior to the date on which such Agent first made demand therefor (except that, if the event giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the two hundred seventy (270) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

§4.10Capital Adequacy. If after the date hereof any Lender determines that (a) as a result of a Change in Law, or (b) compliance by such Lender or its parent bank holding company with any directive of any such entity regarding liquidity or capital adequacy, has the effect of reducing the return on such Lender’s or such holding company’s capital or liquidity as a consequence of such Lender’s commitment to make Loans hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such holding company’s then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then such Lender may notify the Borrower thereof. The Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender the amount of such reduction in the return on capital as and when such reduction is reasonably determined, upon presentation by such Lender of a statement of the amount setting forth the Lender’s calculation thereof. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods generally applied by such Lender.

§4.11Breakage Costs. Borrower shall pay all Breakage Costs required to be paid by them pursuant to this Agreement and incurred from time to time by any Lender within fifteen

52 

(15) days from receipt of written notice from Agent, or such earlier date as may be required by this Agreement.

§4.12Default Interest; Late Charge. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and regardless of whether or not the Agent or the Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans, all Loans shall bear interest payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to three percent (3.0%) above the interest rate that would otherwise be in effect hereunder (the “Default Rate”), until such amount shall be paid in full (after as well as before judgment) until such amount shall be paid in full (after as well as before judgment), or if any of such amounts shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by law, then at the maximum rate permitted by law. In addition, the Borrower shall pay a late charge equal to three percent (3.0%) of any amount of interest and/or principal payable on the Loans (other than amounts due on the Maturity Date or as a result of acceleration), which is not paid by the Borrower within ten (10) days of the date when due.

§4.13Certificate. A certificate setting forth any amounts payable pursuant to §4.8, §4.9, §4.10, §4.11 or §4.12 and a reasonably detailed explanation of such amounts which are due, submitted by any Lender or the Agent to the Borrower, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount due. A Lender shall be entitled to reimbursement under §4.9, or §4.10 from and after notice to Borrower that such amounts are due given in accordance with §4.9 or §4.10 and for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days prior to receipt of such notice if such Change in Law was effective during such one hundred eighty (180) day period.

§4.14Limitation on Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, all agreements between or among the Borrower, the Lenders and the Agent, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of any of the Obligations or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received by the Lenders exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to the Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to the Lenders shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under applicable law; and if from any circumstance the Lenders shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Obligations and to the payment of interest or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Obligations, such excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal of the Obligations (including the period of any renewal or extension thereof) so that the interest thereon for such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. This Section shall control all agreements between or among the Borrower, the Lenders and the Agent with respect to the subject matter of this paragraph.

§4.15Certain Provisions Relating to Increased Costs and Non-Funding Lenders. If a Lender gives notice of the existence of the circumstances set forth in §4.7 or any Lender requests compensation for any losses or reasonable and documented costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any one or more of the provisions of §4.4(b) (as a result of the imposition of U.S. withholding

53 

taxes on amounts paid to such Lender under this Agreement), §4.9 or §4.10, then, upon the request of the Borrower, such Lender, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts in a manner consistent with such institution’s practice in connection with loans like the Loan of such Lender to eliminate, mitigate or reduce amounts that would otherwise be payable by Borrower under the foregoing provisions, provided that such action would not be otherwise prejudicial to such Lender, including, without limitation, by designating another of such Lender’s offices, branches or affiliates; the Borrower agreeing to pay all reasonable and necessary costs and expenses incurred by such Lender in connection with any such action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and if any Lender (a) has given notice of the existence of the circumstances set forth in §4.7 or has requested payment or compensation for any losses or costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any one or more of the provisions of §4.4(b) (as a result of the imposition of U.S. withholding taxes on amounts paid to such Lender under this Agreement), §4.9 or §4.10 and following the request of Borrower has been unable to take the steps described above to mitigate such amounts (each, an “Affected Lender”) or (b) has failed to make available to Agent its pro rata share of any Loan, and such failure has not been cured (a “Non-Funding Lender”), then, within ninety (90) days after such notice or request for payment or compensation or failure to fund, as applicable, Borrower shall have the right as to such Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, to be exercised by delivery of written notice delivered to the Agent and the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, within ninety (90) days of receipt of such notice or failure to fund, as applicable, to elect to cause the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, to transfer its Commitments and Loans. The Agent shall promptly notify the remaining Lenders that each of such Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire a portion of such Commitments and Loans, pro rata based upon their relevant Applicable Percentages, of the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable (or if any of such Lenders does not elect to purchase its pro rata share, then to such remaining Lenders in such proportion as approved by the Agent). In the event that the Lenders do not elect to acquire all of the Affected Lender’s or Non-Funding Lender’s Commitment, then the Agent shall endeavor to obtain a new Lender to acquire such remaining Commitments and Loans. Upon any such purchase of the Commitments and Loans of the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, the Affected Lender’s or Non-Funding Lender’s interest in the Obligations and its rights hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall terminate at the date of purchase, and the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest. The purchase price for the Affected Lender’s or Non-Funding Lender’s Commitments and Loans shall equal any and all amounts outstanding and owed by Borrower to the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, including principal, prepayment premium or fee, and all accrued and unpaid interest or fees.

§4.16Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.

(a)Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Agent has not

54 

received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this §4.16 will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date. Unless and until a Benchmark Replacement is effective in accordance with this clause §4.16(a), all Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Loans in accordance with the provisions of §4.6 above.

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

(c)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the implementation of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes, (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. The Agent will notify the Borrower and the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or Lenders pursuant to this §4.16, including, without limitation, any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or implementation of any Conforming Changes, the timing or implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this §4.16.

(d)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if any then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or incompliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Agent may modify the definition of

55 

“Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(e)Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for the applicable borrower of SOFR Loans of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. Any outstanding affected SOFR Loans bearing interest at the then-current Benchmark shall be converted to Base Rate Loans immediately. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Base Rate based upon Adjusted Term SOFR (or then-current Benchmark) will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

§5.UNENCUMBERED PROPERTIES.

§5.1Addition of Unencumbered Properties.

(a)As of the Closing Date, the Unencumbered Properties are set forth on Schedule UP. After the Closing Date, Borrower shall have the right, subject to the satisfaction by Borrower of the conditions set forth in this §5.1, to add Real Estate as an Unencumbered Property. In the event Borrower desires to add additional Real Estate as aforesaid, Borrower shall provide written notice to the Agent of such request in accordance with this §5.1 (which the Agent shall promptly furnish to the Lenders within three (3) Business Days), together with all documentation and other information reasonably required to permit the Agent to determine whether such Real Estate is Eligible Real Estate. Thereafter, to the extent their consent is required pursuant to this §5.1, the Agent and the Required Lenders shall have fifteen (15) Business Days from the date of receipt of such documentation and other information to advise Borrower whether the Agent and/or the necessary Lenders consent to the acceptance of such Real Estate as an Unencumbered Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Real Estate shall be included as an Unencumbered Property unless and until the following conditions precedent shall have been satisfied (and no Real Estate shall be included in any calculation as an Unencumbered Property with respect to a particular fiscal period unless such conditions have been satisfied (each such date of satisfaction, a “Property Addition Date”)):

(i)the proposed Real Estate shall be Eligible Real Estate;

(ii)the Direct Owner with respect to such Real Estate and each Indirect Owner of such Direct Owner that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor shall have executed a Joinder Agreement and satisfied the conditions of §5.3;

(iii)at least ten (10) days (or such shorter period of time as agreed to by the Agent in writing) prior to the proposed Property Addition Date with respect to any Real Estate, the Agent shall have received the following, all of which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent (A) a written election from the Borrower for such Real Estate to be added as an Unencumbered Property in the form of Exhibit F hereto (a “Property Addition Request”), which request shall include a description of such Real Estate, the Adjusted

56 

Net Operating Income, Value, and occupancy of such Real Estate, a certification that such Real Estate meets each of the criteria set forth in the definition of Eligible Real Estate, a certification that there have been no material changes to the financial conditions of the Credit Parties since the last Compliance Certificate that was delivered that would affect compliance with the financial covenants in §9, and identify the Direct Owner of such Real Estate and each Indirect Owner of such Direct Owner, (B) all such other commercially reasonable diligence, documents and information, in each case, to the extent available, that are reasonably requested by the Agent, including, without limitation, environmental diligence reports, structural diligence reports, appraisals, Leases, property operating statement, available historical property operating statements, leasing status and rent rolls, and (C) an executed Compliance Certificate calculated on a pro forma basis showing the impact of such Real Estate being added as an Unencumbered Property; and

(iv)after giving effect to the inclusion of such Real Estate as an Unencumbered Property, each of the representations and warranties made by or on behalf of Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries contained in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or in any document or instrument delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement shall be true in all material respects both as of the date as of which it was made and shall also be true as of the time of the addition (or any replacement) of Unencumbered Properties, with the same effect as if made at and as of that time (it being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct only as of such specified date), and no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and the Agent shall have received a certificate of Borrower to such effect;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event such Real Estate does not qualify as Eligible Real Estate, so long as the conditions set forth in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of this §5.1 have been satisfied, such Real Estate shall be included as an Unencumbered Property and constitute Eligible Real Estate so long as the Agent shall have received the prior written consent of Required Lenders in their sole discretion to the inclusion of such Real Estate as an Unencumbered Property.

§5.2Release of Unencumbered Property.

The Unencumbered Properties are insured with financially sound and reputable insurance companies not Affiliates of any Credit Party, in such amounts, with such deductibles and covering such risks (including risks with respect to environmental claims) as are customarily carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar properties in localities where the applicable Credit Party or Subsidiary operates.

As of the Closing Date and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including all Loans made or to be made hereunder, and, including, without limitation the provisions of §37, hereof, no Credit Party is insolvent on a balance sheet basis such that the sum of such Person’s assets exceeds the sum of such Person’s liabilities, each Credit Party is able to pay its debts as they become due, and each Credit Party has sufficient capital to carry on its business.

§6.27No Bankruptcy Filing. As of the Closing Date, none of the Credit Parties are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of its assets or property, and the Credit Parties have no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it.

§6.28No Fraudulent Intent. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents nor the performance of any actions required hereunder or thereunder is being undertaken by the Credit Parties with or as a result of any actual intent by any of such Persons to hinder, delay or defraud any entity to which any of such Persons is now or will hereafter become indebted.

§6.29Transaction in Best Interests of Credit Parties; Consideration. The transaction evidenced by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents is in the best interests of each Credit Party. The direct and indirect benefits to inure to the Borrower and the Guarantors pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute substantially more than “reasonably equivalent value” (as such term is used in §548 of the Bankruptcy Code) and “valuable consideration,” “fair value,” and “fair consideration,” (as such terms are used in any applicable state fraudulent conveyance law), in exchange for the benefits to be provided by the Borrower and the Guarantors pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and but for the willingness of each Guarantor to be a guarantor of the Loan, the Borrower and the Guarantors would be unable to obtain the financing contemplated hereunder which financing will enable the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors to have available financing to conduct and expand their business.

§6.30OFAC. Borrower nor the Guarantors, nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates or any agent or representative of the Credit Parties or any Subsidiary while acting in any capacity in connection with or benefit from this Agreement, are (or will be) (i) a Sanctioned Person, (ii) located, organized or resident in a Designated

68 

Jurisdiction or (iii) is or has been (within the previous five (5) years) engaged in any transaction with any Sanctioned Person or any Person who is located, organized or resident in any Designated Jurisdiction to the extent that such transactions would violate Sanctions. No Loan, nor the proceeds from any Loan, has been used, directly or indirectly, or has otherwise been made available to fund any activity or business in any Designated Jurisdiction or to fund any activity or business with any Sanctioned Person, or in any other manner that will result in a violation by any Credit Party or Subsidiary thereof, or any Lender or the Agent of Sanctions. Neither the making of the Loans hereunder nor the use of proceeds thereof will violate the Act, the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, or any of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 C.F.R., Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) or any enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto or successor statute thereto. The REIT Guarantor and its Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects with applicable Anti-Money Laundering Laws. The Credit Parties have implemented and maintain in effect policies and procedures designed to promote and achieve compliance with the Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions. In addition, Credit Parties hereby agree to provide to the Lenders any additional information that a Lender reasonably deems necessary from time to time in order to ensure compliance with all applicable laws concerning money laundering and similar activities.

§6.31Ground Lease.

(a)Each Ground Lease contains the entire agreement of the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor and the applicable owner of the fee interest in such Unencumbered Property (the “Fee Owner”), pertaining to the Unencumbered Property covered thereby. With respect to Unencumbered Property subject to a Ground Lease, the Borrower and the applicable Subsidiary Guarantors have no estate, right, title or interest in or to the Unencumbered Property except under and pursuant to the Ground Lease or except as may be otherwise approved in writing by Agent.

(d)Each Ground Lease is in full force and effect and, to Borrower’s knowledge, no breach or default or event that with the giving of notice or passage of time would constitute a breach or default under any Ground Lease (a “Ground Lease Default”) exists or has occurred on the part of a Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor or on the part of a Fee Owner under any Ground Lease. All base rent and additional rent, if any, due and payable under each Ground Lease has been paid through the date hereof and neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary

69 

Guarantor is required to pay any deferred or accrued rent after the date hereof under any Ground Lease. Neither Borrower nor a Subsidiary Guarantor has received any written notice that a Ground Lease Default has occurred or exists, or that any Fee Owner or any third party alleges the same to have occurred or exist.

(e)The Borrower or applicable Subsidiary Guarantor is the exclusive owner of the ground lessee’s interest under and pursuant to each Ground Lease and has not assigned, transferred or encumbered its interest in, to, or under the Ground Lease, except to Agent under the Loan Documents.

(n)with respect to any Guaranteed Pension Plan, an ERISA Reportable Event shall have occurred and such event reasonably would be expected to result in liability of any of the Credit Parties to pay money to the PBGC or such Guaranteed Pension Plan in an aggregate amount exceeding $5,000,000 and one of the following shall apply with respect to such event: (x) such event in the circumstances occurring reasonably would be expected to result in the termination of such Guaranteed Pension Plan by the PBGC or for the appointment by the appropriate United States District Court of a trustee to administer such Guaranteed Pension Plan; or (y) a trustee shall have been appointed by the United States District Court to administer such Plan; or (z) the PBGC shall have instituted proceedings to terminate such Guaranteed Pension Plan;

(o)any dissolution, termination, partial or complete liquidation, merger or consolidation of any of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of the Subsidiaries of Borrower shall occur or any sale, transfer or other disposition of the assets of any of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of the Subsidiaries of Borrower shall occur other than as permitted under the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents;

(p)any of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any shareholder, officer, director, partner or member of any of them shall be indicted for a federal crime, a punishment for which could include the forfeiture of (i) any assets of such Person which in the good faith judgment of the Required Lenders could have a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) the Unencumbered Property;

(r)any Change of Control shall occur;

then, and upon any such Event of Default, the Agent may, and upon the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice in writing to the Borrower declare all amounts owing with respect to this Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents to be, and they shall thereupon forthwith become, immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; provided that in the event of any Event of Default specified in §12.1(h), §12.1(i) or §12.1(j), all such amounts shall become immediately due and payable automatically and without any requirement of presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind from any of the Lenders or the Agent.

§12.2Certain Cure Periods. In the event that there shall occur any Default that affects only certain Unencumbered Property or the owner(s) thereof (if such owner is a Subsidiary

91 

Guarantor) or the removal of certain Unencumbered Property would cure the Default, then the Borrower may elect to cure such Default (so long as no other Default or Event of Default would arise as a result) by electing to have Agent remove such Real Estate as an Unencumbered Property (and the Borrower’s compliance with Section 3.2 as a result thereof), in which event such removal and reduction shall be completed within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of such Default from the Agent or the Required Lenders.

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

§12.4Remedies. In case any one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and whether or not the Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans pursuant to §12.1, the Agent on behalf of the Lenders may, and upon the direction of the Required Lenders shall, proceed to protect and enforce their rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Notes and/or any of the other Loan Documents by suit in equity, action at law or other appropriate proceeding, including to the full extent permitted by applicable law the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the obtaining of the ex parte appointment of a receiver, and, if any amount shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, the enforcement of the payment thereof. No remedy herein conferred upon the Agent or any Lender or any Lender Hedge Provider is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or any other provision of law. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement providing that the Loans may be evidenced by multiple Notes in favor of the Lenders, the Lenders acknowledge and agree that only the Agent may exercise any remedies arising by reason of a Default or Event of Default. If any Credit Party fails to perform any agreement or covenant contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents beyond any applicable period for notice and cure, Agent may itself perform, or cause to be performed, any agreement or covenant of such Person contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents which such Person shall fail to perform, and the out-of-pocket costs of such performance, together with any reasonable expenses, including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees actually incurred (including attorneys’ fees incurred in any appeal) by Agent in connection therewith, shall be payable by Borrower upon demand and shall constitute a part of the Obligations and shall if not paid within five (5) days after demand bear interest at the rate for overdue amounts as set forth in this Agreement. In the event that all or any portion of the Obligations is collected by or through an attorney-at-law, the Borrower shall pay all costs of collection including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees.

§12.5Distribution of Proceeds. In the event that, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any monies are received in connection with the

92 

enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or otherwise with respect to the realization upon any assets of Credit Parties, such monies shall be distributed for application as follows:

(a)First, to the payment of, or (as the case may be) the reimbursement of the Agent for or in respect of, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs, expenses, disbursements and losses which shall have been paid, incurred or sustained by the Agent in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents in connection with the collection of such monies by the Agent, for the exercise, protection or enforcement by the Agent of all or any of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in support of any provision of adequate indemnity to the Agent against any taxes or liens which by law shall have, or may have, priority over the rights of the Agent or the Lenders to such monies;

(b)Second, to all other Obligations (including any interest, expenses or other obligations incurred after the commencement of a bankruptcy) and Lender Hedge Obligations in the following order;

(i)To any other fees and expenses due to the Lenders under the Loan Documents until paid in full;

(ii)to payment of accrued and unpaid interest on all Loans, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, until paid in full;

(iii)payments of unpaid principal of all Loans, to be paid to the Lenders ratably in accordance with the respective amounts thereof then due and owing to such Persons until paid in full;

(iv) to payment of all other amounts due under any of the Loan Documents to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Agent and/or the Lenders until paid in full; and

(v)To any Lender Hedge Obligations equally and ratably in accordance with the respective amounts thereof then due and owing to such Persons; and

(c)Third, the excess, if any, shall be returned to the Borrower or to such other Persons as are entitled thereto.

§12.6Remedies in Respect of Hedge Obligations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or other Loan Document, each Lender Hedge Provider shall have the right, with prompt notice to the Agent, but without the approval or consent of or other action by the Agent or the Lenders, and without limitation of other remedies available to such Lender Hedge Provider under contract or Applicable Law, to undertake any of the following: (a) to declare an event of default, termination event or other similar event under any Hedge Obligation and to create an “Early Termination Date” (as defined therein) in respect thereof, (b) to determine net termination amounts in respect of any and all Derivatives Contracts to which it is a party in accordance with the terms thereof, and to set off amounts among such contracts, (c) to set off or proceed against deposit account balances, securities account balances and other property and amounts held by such Lender Hedge Provider and (d) to prosecute any legal action against the

93 

Borrower, any Credit Party or other Subsidiary to enforce or collect net amounts owing to such Lender Hedge Provider pursuant to any Derivatives Contract.

No Lender Hedge Provider that obtains the benefits of §12.6 by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Loan Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of any Loan Document other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article to the contrary, the Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Derivative Contracts with respect to Hedge Obligations unless the Agent has received written notice of such Derivatives Contracts, together with such supporting documentation as the Agent may request, from the applicable Lender Hedge Provider, unless such Hedge Obligations have been disclosed in any financial statements publicly filed by the Borrower or the Trust or submitted to the Agent by the Borrower hereunder.

§13.SETOFF. During the continuance of any Event of Default, any deposits (general or specific, time or demand, provisional or final, regardless of currency, maturity, or the branch where such deposits are held) or other sums credited by or due from any Lender or any Affiliate thereof to any Credit Party and any securities or other property of such parties in the possession of such Lender or any Affiliate may, without notice to any Credit Party (any such notice being expressly waived) but with the prior written approval of Agent, be applied to or set off against the payment of Obligations and any and all other liabilities, direct, or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, of the Credit Parties. Each of the Lenders agrees with each other Lender that if such Lender shall receive from a Credit Party, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of the right of setoff, or otherwise, and shall retain and apply to the payment of the Note or Notes held by such Lender any amount in excess of its ratable portion of the payments received by all of the Lenders with respect to the Notes held by all of the Lenders, such Lender will make such disposition and arrangements with the other Lenders with respect to such excess, either by way of distribution, pro tanto assignment of claims, subrogation or otherwise as shall result in each Lender receiving in respect of the Notes held by it its proportionate payment as contemplated by this Agreement; provided that if all or any part of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such disposition and arrangements shall be rescinded and the amount restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. In the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and (b) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

§14.THE AGENT.

§14.1Authorization. The Agent is authorized to take such action on behalf of each of the Lenders and to exercise all such powers as are hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents and any related documents delegated to the Agent and all other powers not

94 

specifically reserved to the Lenders, together with such powers as are reasonably incident thereto, provided that no duties or responsibilities not expressly assumed herein or therein shall be implied to have been assumed by the Agent. The obligations of the Agent hereunder are primarily administrative in nature, and nothing contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to constitute the Agent as a trustee for any Lender or to create an agency or fiduciary relationship. Agent shall act as the contractual representative of the Lenders hereunder, and notwithstanding the use of the term “Agent”, it is understood and agreed that Agent shall not have any fiduciary duties or responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and is acting as an independent contractor, the duties and responsibilities of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Borrower and any other Person shall be entitled to conclusively rely on a statement from the Agent that it has the authority to act for and bind the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

§14.2Employees and Agents. The Agent may exercise its powers and execute its duties by or through employees or agents and shall be entitled to take, and to rely on, advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Agent may utilize the services of such Persons as the Agent may reasonably determine, and all reasonable fees and expenses of any such Persons shall be paid by the Borrower.

§14.3No Liability. Neither the Agent nor any of its shareholders, directors, officers or employees nor any other Person assisting them in their duties nor any agent, or employee thereof, shall be liable to the Lenders for (a) any waiver, consent or approval given or any action taken, or omitted to be taken, in good faith by it or them hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, or be responsible for the consequences of any oversight or error of judgment whatsoever, except that the Agent or such other Person, as the case may be, shall be liable for losses due to its willful misconduct or gross negligence as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the expiration of all applicable appeal periods or (b) any action taken or not taken by Agent with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or the Required Class Lenders, unless such action requires the approval of all Lenders and such approval was not obtained. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to the Loan Documents and describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.

§14.4No Representations. The Agent shall not be responsible for the execution or validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes, any of the other Loan Documents or any instrument at any time constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security for the Notes, or for the value of any such collateral security or for the validity, enforceability or collectability of any such amounts owing with respect to the Loan Documents, or for any recitals or statements, warranties or representations made herein, or any agreement, instrument or certificate delivered in connection therewith or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate or instrument hereafter furnished to it by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms,

95 

conditions, covenants or agreements herein or in any of the other Loan Documents. The Agent shall not be bound to ascertain whether any notice, consent, waiver or request delivered to it by the Borrower or any Lender shall have been duly authorized or is true, accurate and complete. The Agent has not made nor does it now make any representations or warranties, express or implied, nor does it assume any liability to the Lenders, with respect to the creditworthiness or financial condition of the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or the value of any other assets of the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based upon such information and documents as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, based upon such information and documents as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Agent’s Special Counsel has only represented Agent and KeyBank in connection with the Loan Documents and the only attorney client relationship or duty of care is between Agent’s Special Counsel and Agent or KeyBank. Each Lender has been independently represented by separate counsel on all matters regarding the Loan Documents.

§14.5Payments.

(a)A payment by the Borrower to the Agent hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents for the account of any Lender shall constitute a payment to such Lender. The Agent agrees to distribute to each Lender not later than one (1) Business Day after the Agent’s receipt of good funds, determined in accordance with the Agent’s customary practices, such Lender’s pro rata share of payments received by the Agent for the account of the Lenders except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents. In the event that the Agent fails to distribute such amounts within one Business Day as provided above, the Agent shall pay interest on such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect.

(b)If in the reasonable opinion of the Agent the distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder, under the Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve it in liability, it may refrain from making such distribution until its right to make such distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court.

§14.6Holders of Notes. Subject to the terms of §18, the Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the absolute owner or purchaser thereof for all purposes hereof until it shall have been furnished in writing with a different name by such payee or by a subsequent holder, assignee or transferee.

§14.7Indemnity. The Lenders ratably agree hereby to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent from and against any and all claims, actions and suits (whether groundless or otherwise), losses, damages, costs, expenses (including any expenses for which the Agent has not been

96 

reimbursed by the Borrower as required by §15), and liabilities of every nature and character arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Notes, or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated or evidenced hereby or thereby, or the Agent’s actions taken hereunder or thereunder, except to the extent that any of the same shall be directly caused by the Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the expiration of all applicable appeal periods. The agreements in this §14.7 shall survive the payment of all amounts payable under the Loan Documents.

§14.8Agent as Lender. In its individual capacity, KeyBank shall have the same obligations and the same rights, powers and privileges in respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it, and as the holder of any of the Notes as it would have were it not also the Agent.

§14.9Resignation. The Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. The Required Lenders may remove the Agent from its capacity as Agent in the event of the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or if the Agent is a Defaulting Lender. Upon any such resignation, or removal, the Required Lenders, subject to the terms of §18.1, shall have the right to appoint as a successor Agent, (i) any Lender or (ii) any bank whose senior debt obligations are rated not less than “A” or its equivalent by Moody’s or not less than “A” or its equivalent by S&P and which has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000. Unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such successor Agent shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. If no successor Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lender’s removal of the Agent, then the retiring or removed Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be (i) any Lender or (ii) any financial institution whose senior debt obligations are rated not less than “A2” or its equivalent by Moody’s or not less than “A” or its equivalent by S&P and which has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent, and the retiring or removed Agent, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder as Agent. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal, the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent. Upon any change in the Agent under this Agreement, the resigning or removed Agent shall execute such assignments of and amendments to the Loan Documents as may be necessary to substitute the successor Agent for the resigning or removed Agent.

§14.10Duties in the Case of Enforcement. In case one or more Events of Default have occurred and shall be continuing, and whether or not acceleration of the Obligations shall have occurred, the Agent may and, if (a) so requested by the Required Lenders and (b) the Lenders have provided to the Agent such additional indemnities and assurances in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages against expenses and liabilities as the Agent may reasonably request, shall proceed to exercise all or any legal and equitable and other rights or remedies as it may have; provided, however, that unless and until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem to be in the best

97 

interests of the Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Agent reasonably determines payment is in the best interest of all the Lenders, Agent may without the approval of the Lenders pay taxes and insurance premiums and spend money for maintenance, repairs or other expenses which may be necessary to be incurred, and Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Lenders of such action. Each Lender shall, within thirty (30) days of request therefor, pay to the Agent its Applicable Percentage of the reasonable costs incurred by the Agent in taking any such actions hereunder to the extent that such costs shall not be promptly reimbursed to the Agent by the Borrower within such period with respect to the Unencumbered Properties. The Required Lenders may direct the Agent in writing as to the method and the extent of any such exercise, the Lenders hereby agreeing to indemnify and hold the Agent harmless in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages from all liabilities incurred in respect of all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such directions, except to the extent that any of the same shall be directly caused by the Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the expiration of all applicable appeal periods, provided that the Agent need not comply with any such direction to the extent that the Agent reasonably believes the Agent’s compliance with such direction to be unlawful in any applicable jurisdiction or commercially unreasonable under the UCC as enacted in any applicable jurisdiction.

§14.11Bankruptcy. In the event a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding is commenced by or against any Credit Party with respect to the Obligations, the Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right to file and pursue a joint proof claim on behalf of all Lenders. Any votes with respect to such claims or otherwise with respect to such proceedings shall be subject to the vote of the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders as required by this Agreement. Each Lender irrevocably waives its right to file or pursue a separate proof of claim in any such proceedings unless Agent fails to file such claim within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from the Lenders requesting that Agent file such proof of claim.

§14.12Request for Agent Action. Agent and the Lenders acknowledge that in the ordinary course of business of the Credit Parties, Credit Parties may desire to enter into easements or other agreements affecting the Unencumbered Properties, or take other actions or enter into other agreements in the ordinary course of business which similarly require the consent, approval or agreement of the Agent. In connection with the foregoing, the Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Agent to execute consents, approvals, or other agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent in connection with such other actions or agreements as may be necessary in the ordinary course of Credit Parties’ business.

§14.13Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by an Authorized Officer. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, which by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The

98 

Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

§14.14Approvals. If consent is required for some action under this Agreement, or except as otherwise provided herein an approval of the Lenders, the Required Lenders, or the Required Class Lenders of any Class is required or permitted under this Agreement, each Lender agrees to give the Agent, within ten (10) days of receipt of the request for action together with all reasonably requested information related thereto (or such lesser period of time required by the terms of the Loan Documents), notice in writing of approval or disapproval (collectively “Directions”) in respect of any action requested or proposed in writing pursuant to the terms hereof. To the extent that any Lender does not approve any recommendation of Agent, such Lender shall in such notice to Agent describe the actions that would be acceptable to such Lender. If consent is required for the requested action, any Lender’s failure to respond to a request for Directions within the required time period shall be deemed to constitute a Direction to take such requested action. In the event that any recommendation is not approved by the requisite number of Lenders and a subsequent approval on the same subject matter is requested by Agent, then for the purposes of this paragraph each Lender shall be required to respond to a request for Directions within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such request. Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to assume that any officer of the other Lenders delivering any notice, consent, certificate or other writing is authorized to give such notice, consent, certificate or other writing unless Agent and such other Lenders have otherwise been notified in writing.

§14.15Borrower Not Beneficiary. Except for the provisions of §14.9 relating to the appointment of a successor Agent, the provisions of this §14 are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, may not be enforced by the Borrower, and except for the provisions of §14.9, may be modified or waived without the approval or consent of the Borrower.

§14.16Defaulting Lenders.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements:

(i)That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in §27.

(ii)Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to §13), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; third, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account

99 

and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists or non-defaulting Lenders have been paid in full all amounts then due, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in §11 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii)[Reserved].

(iv)[Reserved].

(v)[Reserved].

(vi)During any period that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower may, by giving written notice thereof to the Agent, such Defaulting Lender, and the other Lenders, demand that such Defaulting Lender assign its Commitment to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of §18.1. No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. In addition, any Lender who is not a Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated, in its sole discretion, to acquire the face amount of all or a portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment via an assignment subject to and in accordance with the provisions of §18.1. No such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient with any applicable amounts held pursuant to the immediately preceding subsection 14.6(ii), upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) such Defaulting Lender’s full pro rata share of all Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under any Legal Requirement without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

100 

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentage, as applicable (without giving effect to §14.16(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

§14.17Reliance on Hedge Provider. For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with §12.5, the Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the trustee, paying agent or other similar representative (each, a “Representative”) or, in the absence of such a Representative, upon the holder of the Hedge Obligations for a determination (which each holder of the Hedge Obligations agrees (or shall agree) to provide upon request of the Agent) of the outstanding Hedge Obligations owed to the holder thereof. Unless it has actual knowledge (including by way of written notice from such holder) to the contrary, the Agent, in acting hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that no Hedge Obligations are outstanding.

§14.19Erroneous Payments.

(a)If the Agent notifies a Lender, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (any such Lender, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Agent, and such Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, return to the Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion

102 

thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b)Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

(i)(A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii)such Lender shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Agent pursuant to this Section 14.19(b).

(c)Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Agent to such Lender from any source, against any amount due to the Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(d)In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and

103 

Assumption Agreement (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption Agreement by reference pursuant to an electronic platform approved by the Agent as to which the Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Agent, (ii) the Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender and (iv) the Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).

(e)The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Agent from the Borrower for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(f)To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine

(g)Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 14.19 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

§15. EXPENSES. The Borrower agrees to pay (a) the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Agent of producing and reproducing this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other agreements and instruments mentioned herein, (b) any documentary or intangible taxes in connection with the Loan Documents, and (c) the reasonable fees, and

The covenants of this §15 shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the obligations of the Lenders hereunder.

§16.INDEMNIFICATION. The Borrower and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, the Lenders and the Arranger and each director, officer, employee, agent and Affiliate thereof and Person who controls the Agent or any Lender or the Arranger against any and all claims, actions and suits, whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages and expenses of every nature and character arising out of or relating to any claim, action, suit or litigation arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby including, without limitation, (a) any and all claims for brokerage, leasing, finders or similar fees which may be made relating to the Unencumbered Properties or the Loans by parties claiming by or through Borrower or any Guarantor, (b) any condition of the Unencumbered Properties or any other Real Estate, (c) any actual or proposed use by the Borrower or any Guarantor of the proceeds of any of the Loans, (d) any actual or alleged infringement of any patent, copyright, trademark, service mark or similar right of the Borrower and each Guarantor, (e) the Borrower or any Guarantor entering into or performing this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (f) any actual or alleged violation of any law, ordinance, code, order, rule, regulation, approval, consent, permit or license relating to the Unencumbered Properties or any other Real Estate, (g)

In litigation, or the preparation therefor, the Lenders and the Agent shall be entitled to select a single law firm as their own counsel and, in addition to the foregoing indemnity, the Borrower and the Guarantors agree to pay promptly the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. If, and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower or any Guarantor under this §16 are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower and each Guarantor hereby agree to make the maximum contribution to the payment in satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law. The provisions of this §16 shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the obligations of the Lenders hereunder for a period of one year. This §16 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, or liabilities arising from any non-Tax claim of the Indemnified Person.

§17.SURVIVAL OF COVENANTS, ETC. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein, in the Notes, in any of the other Loan Documents or in any documents or other papers delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to have been relied upon by the Lenders and the Agent, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by any of them, and shall survive the making by the Lenders of any of the Loans, as herein contemplated, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any amount due under this Agreement or the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents remains outstanding or any Lender has any obligation to make any Loans. The indemnification obligations of the Borrower and each Guarantor provided herein and in the other Loan Documents shall survive the full repayment of amounts due and the termination of the obligations of the Lenders hereunder and thereunder to the extent provided herein and therein for a period of one year. All statements contained in any certificate delivered to any Lender or the Agent at any time by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall constitute representations and warranties by such Person hereunder.

§18. ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATION.

§18.1Conditions to Assignment by Lenders. Except as provided herein, each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Applicable Percentage and Commitment and the same portion of the Loans at the time owing to it and the Notes held by it); provided that (a) the Agent shall have given its prior written consent to such assignment, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (b) each such assignment shall be of a

106 

constant, and not a varying, percentage of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the assigned portion of the Commitment, (c) the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for recording in the Register (as hereinafter defined) an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement in the form of Exhibit H annexed hereto, together with any Notes subject to such assignment, (d) in no event shall any assignment be to any Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with, or which is not otherwise free from influence or control by, Borrower or Guarantor, and (e) such assignee shall acquire an interest in the Loans of not less than $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or if less, the remaining Loans of the assignor), unless waived by the Agent, and so long as no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, Borrower. Upon execution, delivery, acceptance and recording of such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and all other Loan Documents executed by the Lenders and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder, (ii) the assigning Lender shall, upon payment to the Agent of the registration fee referred to in §18.2, be released from its obligations under this Agreement arising after the effective date of such assignment with respect to the assigned portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (iii) the Agent may unilaterally amend Schedule 1.1 to reflect such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. In connection with each assignment, the assignee shall represent and warrant to the Agent, the assignor and each other Lender as to whether such assignee is controlling, controlled by, under common control with or is not otherwise free from influence or control by, the Borrower and the Guarantors and whether such assignee is a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

§18.2Register. The Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent for the Borrower, shall maintain on behalf of the Borrower a copy of each assignment delivered to it and a register or similar list (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Applicable Percentage of and principal amount of and interest on the Loans owing to the Lenders from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes, notwithstanding

107 

notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and the Lenders at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. This §18.2 shall be construed so that such obligations are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related regulations (and any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or such regulations). Any attempted assignment and delegation not made in accordance with this §18.2 shall be null and void. Upon each such recordation, the assigning Lender agrees to pay to the Agent a registration fee in the sum of $5,500.

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

§18.4Participations. Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Lenders or other entities in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (a) any such sale or participation shall not affect the rights and duties of the selling Lender hereunder, (b) such participation shall not entitle such participant to any rights or privileges under this Agreement or any Loan Documents, including without limitation, rights granted to the Lenders under §4.8, §4.9 and §4.10, (c) such participation shall not entitle the participant to the right to approve waivers, amendments or modifications, (d) such participant shall have no direct rights against the Borrower, (e) such participant shall be entitled to the benefits of §4.4(b) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to §18.1, but shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under §4.4(b) than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant and Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of §4.15, (f) such sale is effected in accordance with all applicable laws, (g) such participant shall not be a Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with, or which is not otherwise free from influence or control by any of the Borrower, and shall not be a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender or a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust fund or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person); and (h) such participant is a Eligible Assignee; provided, however, such Lender may agree with the participant that it will not, without the consent of the participant, agree to (i) increase, or extend the term or extend the time or waive any requirement for the reduction or termination of, such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on the Loans or portions thereof owing to such Lender, (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal, (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon

108 

or (v) release any Credit Party (except as otherwise permitted under §5.2 or §5.4). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

§18.5Pledge by Lender. Any Lender may at any time pledge all or any portion of its interest and rights under this Agreement (including all or any portion of its Note) to secure the obligations of such Lender, including any pledge to secure its obligations to any of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks organized under §4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. §341 or any other central banking authority. No such pledge or the enforcement thereof shall release the pledgor Lender from its obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents.

§18.6No Assignment by Borrower. The Borrower shall not assign or transfer any of their rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each of the Lenders.

§18.7Disclosure. Borrower agrees to promptly and reasonably cooperate with any Lender in connection with any proposed assignment or participation of all or any portion of its Commitment. The Borrower agrees that, in addition to disclosures made in accordance with standard banking practices, any Lender may disclose information obtained by such Lender pursuant to this Agreement to assignees or participants and potential assignees or participants hereunder, but in all events subject to the terms hereof. Each Lender agrees for itself that it shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with its customary procedures to hold confidential all non-public information obtained from Borrower that has been identified in writing as confidential by any of them, and shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with its customary procedures to not disclose such information to any other Person, it being understood and agreed that, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender may make (a) disclosures to its participants (provided such Persons are advised of the provisions of this §18.7, and agree to destroy or return all confidential information if it does not become an assignee or participant), (b) disclosures to its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, accountants, appraisers, legal counsel and other professional advisors of such Lender (provided that such Persons who are not employees of such Lender are advised of the provision of this §18.7), (c), disclosures customarily provided or reasonably required by any potential or actual bona fide assignee, transferee or participant or their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, accountants, appraisers, legal counsel and other professional advisors in connection with a potential or actual assignment or transfer by such Lender of any Loans or any participations therein (provided such Persons are advised of the

109 

provisions of this §18.7), (d) disclosures to bank regulatory authorities or self-regulatory bodies with jurisdiction over such Lender, or (e) disclosures required or requested by any other Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process; provided that, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender shall notify Borrower of any request by any governmental authority or representative thereof prior to disclosure (other than any such request in connection with any examination of such Lender by such government authority) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information and provide (if permitted under applicable Legal Requirements) Borrower a reasonable opportunity to challenge the disclosure or require that such disclosure be made under seal. In addition, each Lender may make disclosure of such information to any contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisors (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisors agree to be bound by the provisions of this §18.7). In addition, the Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments. Non-public information shall not include any information which is or subsequently becomes publicly available other than as a result of a disclosure of such information by a Lender, or prior to the delivery to such Lender is within the possession of such Lender if such information is not known by such Lender to be subject to another confidentiality agreement with or other obligations of secrecy to the Borrower, or is disclosed with the prior approval of Borrower. Nothing herein shall prohibit the disclosure of non-public information to the extent necessary to enforce the Loan Documents.

§18.8Titled Agents. The Titled Agents shall not have any additional rights or obligations under the Loan Documents, except for those rights, if any, as a Lender.

§18.9Amendments to Loan Documents. Upon any such assignment or participation, the Borrower shall, upon the request of the Agent, enter into such documents as may be reasonably required by the Agent to modify the Loan Documents to reflect such assignment or participation.

§19.NOTICES.

(a) Each notice, demand, election or request provided for or permitted to be given pursuant to this Agreement (hereinafter in this §19 referred to as “Notice”) must be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given or served by personal delivery or by telecopy, telefax, electronic mail, or other electronic transmission or by sending same by overnight courier or by depositing same in the United States Mail, postpaid and registered or certified, return receipt requested, and addressed to the parties at the address set forth on Schedule 19.

110 

from the date of receipt if personally delivered or sent by overnight courier, or if so deposited in the United States Mail, the earlier of three (3) Business Days following such deposit or the date of receipt as disclosed on the return receipt. Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver because of changed address for which no notice was given shall be deemed to be receipt of the Notice sent. By giving at least fifteen (15) days prior Notice thereof, Borrower, a Lender or Agent shall have the right from time to time and at any time during the term of this Agreement to change their respective addresses and each shall have the right to specify as its address any other address within the United States of America.

(c)Loan Documents and notices under the Loan Documents may, with Agent’s approval, be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile and by signatures delivered in “PDF” format by electronic mail. The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to Applicable Law, have the same force and effect as an original copy with manual signatures and shall be binding on the Borrower, the Guarantors, Agent and Lenders. Agent may also require that any such documents and signature delivered by facsimile or “PDF” format by electronic mail be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver any such manually-signed original shall not affect the effectiveness of any facsimile or “PDF” document or signature.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the following may occur without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby: (a) a reduction in the rate of interest on the Notes (other than (i) a reduction or waiver of default interest or (ii) a reduction arising from a Benchmark Replacement in accordance with §4.16); (b) an increase in the amount of the Commitments of the Lenders (except as provided in §2.12 or §18.1); (c) a forgiveness, reduction or waiver of the principal of any unpaid Loan or any interest thereon or fee payable under the Loan Documents; (d) a change in the amount of any fee payable to a Lender hereunder; (e) the postponement of any date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on the Loans; (f) an extension of any applicable Maturity Date of any Class of Loans; (g) a change in the manner of distribution of any payments to the Lenders or the Agent; (h) the release of Borrower or any other Credit Party, except as otherwise provided in §5.2 or §5.4; (i) an amendment of the definition of Required Lenders or of any requirement for consent by all of the Lenders; (j) any modification to require a Lender to fund a pro rata share of a request for an advance of a Loan of any Class made by the Borrower other than based on its Applicable Percentage of such Class; (k) an amendment to the definition of the term “Required Class Lenders” as it relates to a Class of Lenders or modification in any other manner the number or percentage of a Class of Lenders required to make any determinations or waive any rights hereunder or to modify any provision hereof, in each case, solely with respect to such Class of Lenders, without the written consent of all of the Lenders in such Class; (l) [reserved]; (m) an amendment to the definition of Applicable Percentage; (n) amendment to this §27; or (o) an amendment of any provision of this Agreement or the Loan Documents which requires the approval of all of the Lenders or the Required Lenders to require a lesser number of Lenders to approve such action; or (p) any change in criteria for the admission of any Real Estate as an Unencumbered Property.

§27.3Amendment of Agent’s Duties, Etc. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of §14 may not be amended without the written consent of the Agent. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of

114 

dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto.

§27.4Defaulting Lender Votes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

§27.5Technical Amendments. Further notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this §27, if the Agent and the Borrower have jointly identified an ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect in any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or an inconsistency between provisions of this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents, the Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend, modify or supplement such provision or provisions to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency so long as to do so would not adversely affect the interest of the Lenders. Any such amendment, modification or supplement shall become effective without any further action or consent of any of other party to this Agreement.

If requested by the Borrower or the Agent, the Borrower, Guarantors, the Agent and each approving Lender shall execute and deliver a written amendment to, restatement of, or waiver, consent or approval under, this Agreement memorializing such modification, restatement, waiver, consent or approval.

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

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

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

§33.PATRIOT ACT. Each Lender and the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulations, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes names and addresses and other information and documentation that will allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulations.

Each of the Credit Parties represents, warrants and covenants to the Lenders and Agent that in the event of the filing of any voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy by or against the other of the Credit Parties at any time following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, none of the Credit Parties shall seek a supplemental stay or any other relief, whether injunctive or otherwise, pursuant to Section 105 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code, to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of the Lenders or Agent to enforce any rights it has by virtue of this Agreement, the Loan Documents, or at law or in equity, or any other rights the Lenders or Agent has, whether now or hereafter acquired, against the other Credit Parties or against any property owned by such other Credit Parties.

117 

(f) Any defense based upon an election of remedies by Agent or any Lender, including any election to proceed by judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure of any security, whether real property or personal property security, or by deed in lieu thereof, and whether or not every aspect of any foreclosure sale is commercially reasonable, or any election of remedies, including remedies relating to real property or personal property security, which destroys or otherwise impairs the subrogation rights of a Credit Party or the rights of a Credit Party to proceed against the other Credit Parties for reimbursement, or both;

(g)Any right or claim of right to cause a marshaling of the assets of the Credit Parties;

(h)Any principle or provision of law, statutory or otherwise, which is or might be in conflict with the terms and provisions of this Agreement;

118

(q)Any modifications of the Loan Documents or any obligation of Credit Parties relating to the Loan by operation of law or by action of any court, whether pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, or any other Debtor Relief Law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, or otherwise;

(w)To the fullest extent permitted by law, any other legal, equitable or surety defenses whatsoever to which any Credit Party might otherwise be entitled, it being the intention that the obligations of each Credit Party hereunder are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable.

§36.3Waiver. Each of the Credit Parties waives, to the fullest extent that each may lawfully so do, the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, homestead, exemption and redemption laws which such Person may claim or seek to take advantage of in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents or the exercise by Lenders or Agent of any of their respective remedies under the Loan Documents. Each of the Credit Parties further agree that the Lenders and Agent shall be entitled to exercise their respective rights and remedies under the Loan Documents or at law or in equity in such order as they may elect. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Credit Parties further agree that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Lenders and Agent may exercise any of such rights and remedies without notice to any of the Credit Parties except as required by law or the Loan Documents and agrees that neither the Lenders nor Agent shall be required to proceed against the other of the Credit Parties or any other Person or to proceed against or to exhaust any other security held by the Lenders or Agent at any time or to pursue any other remedy in Lender’s or Agent’s power or under any of the Loan Documents before proceeding against a Credit Party or its assets under the Loan Documents.

§36.4Subordination. So long as the Loans are outstanding, each of the Credit Parties hereby expressly waive any right of contribution from or indemnity against the other, whether at

119 

law or in equity, arising from any payments made by such Person pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and each of the Credit Parties acknowledges that it has no right whatsoever to proceed against the other for reimbursement of any such payments. In connection with the foregoing, each of the Credit Parties expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation to the Lenders or Agent against the other of the Credit Parties, and each of the Credit Parties hereby waives any rights to enforce any remedy which the Lenders or Agent may have against the other of the Credit Parties and any rights to participate in any security for the Obligations or any other assets of the other Credit Parties. In addition to and without in any way limiting the foregoing, each of the Credit Parties hereby subordinates any and all indebtedness it may now or hereafter owe to such other Credit Parties to all indebtedness of the Credit Parties to the Lenders and Agent, and agrees with the Lenders and Agent that no Credit Party shall claim any offset or other reduction of such Credit Party’s obligations hereunder because of any such indebtedness and shall not take any action to obtain any other assets of the other Credit Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this §36.4, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each of the Credit Parties may make and may receive and retain regularly scheduled payments, on any and all indebtedness it may now or hereafter owe to such other Credit Parties.

§36.5Further Waivers. Each Credit Party intentionally, freely, irrevocably and unconditionally waives and relinquishes all rights which may be available to it under any provision of California law or under any California judicial decision, including, without limitation, Section 580a and 726(b) of the California Code of Civil Procedure, to limit the amount of any deficiency judgment or other judgment which may be obtained against such Credit Party under this Agreement to not more than the amount by which the unpaid Obligations exceeds the fair market value or fair value of any real or personal property securing the Obligations, including, without limitation, all rights to an appraisement of, judicial or other hearing on, or other determination of the value of said property. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that, as a result of the foregoing waiver, the Agent or the Lenders may be entitled to recover from such Credit Party an amount which, when combined with the value of any real or personal property foreclosed upon by the Agent (or the proceeds of the sale of which have been received by the Agent and the Lenders) and any sums collected by the Agent and the Lenders from any other Credit Party or other Persons, might exceed the amount of the Obligations.

§37. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF BENEFITS; EFFECT OF AVOIDANCE PROVISIONS.

(a)Without limiting any other provision of §36, each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges that it has received, or will receive, significant financial and other benefits, either directly or indirectly, from the proceeds of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; that the benefits received by such Subsidiary Guarantor are reasonably equivalent consideration for such Subsidiary Guarantor’s execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party; and that such benefits include, without limitation, the access to capital afforded to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement from which the activities of such Subsidiary Guarantor will be supported, the refinancing of certain existing indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor secured by such Subsidiary Guarantor’s assets from the proceeds of the Loans, and the ability to refinance that indebtedness at a lower interest rate and otherwise on more favorable terms than would be available to it if the

120 

assets owned by such Subsidiary Guarantor were being financed on a stand-alone basis and not as part of a pool of assets comprising the security for the Obligations. Each Subsidiary Guarantor is executing this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in consideration of those benefits received by it and each Subsidiary Guarantor desires to enter into an allocation and contribution agreement with each other Subsidiary Guarantor as set forth in this §37 and agrees to subordinate and subrogate any rights or claims it may have against other Subsidiary Guarantors as and to the extent set forth in §36.

(b)In the event any one or more Subsidiary Guarantors (any such Subsidiary Guarantor, a “Funding Party”) is deemed to have paid an amount in excess of the principal amount attributable to it (such principal amount, the “Allocable Principal Balance”) (any deemed payment in excess of the applicable Allocable Principal Balance, a “Contribution”) as a result of such Funding Party’s payment of and/or performance on the Obligations, then after payment in full of the Loans and the satisfaction of all of Subsidiary Guarantors’ other obligations under the Loan Documents, such Funding Party shall be entitled to contribution from each benefited Subsidiary Guarantor for the amount of the Contribution so benefited (any such contribution, a “Reimbursement Contribution”), up to such benefited Subsidiary Guarantor’s then current Allocable Principal Balance. Any Reimbursement Contributions required to be made hereunder shall, subject to §36, be made within ten (10) days after demand therefor.

(c)If a Subsidiary Guarantor (a “Defaulting Party”) shall have failed to make a Reimbursement Contribution as hereinabove provided, after the later to occur of (a) payment of the Loan in full and the satisfaction of all of all Subsidiary Guarantors’ other obligations to Lenders or (b) the date which is 366 days after the payment in full of the Loans, the Funding Party to whom such Reimbursement Contribution is owed shall be subrogated to the rights of Lenders against such Defaulting Party; provided, however, if Agent returns any payments in connection with a bankruptcy of a Subsidiary Guarantor, all other Subsidiary Guarantors shall jointly and severally pay to Agent and Lenders all such amounts returned, together with interest at the Default Rate accruing from and after the date on which such amounts were returned.

(d)In the event that at any time there exists more than one Funding Party with respect to any Contribution (in any such case, the “Applicable Contribution”), then Reimbursement Contributions from Defaulting Party pursuant hereto shall be equitably allocated among such Funding Party. In the event that at any time any Subsidiary Guarantor pays an amount hereunder in excess of the amount calculated pursuant to this paragraph, that Subsidiary Guarantor shall be deemed to be a Funding Party to the extent of such excess and shall be entitled to a Reimbursement Contribution from the other Borrower in accordance with the provisions of this §37.

(e)It is the intent of each Subsidiary Guarantor, the Agent and the Lenders that in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Debtor Relief Laws, such Subsidiary Guarantor’s maximum obligation hereunder shall equal, but not exceed, the maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor to the Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents) to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Subsidiary Guarantor in such proceeding as a result of Applicable Law, including, without limitation, (i) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent

121 

conveyance act or statute applied in such proceeding, whether by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. The Laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor to the Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents) shall be determined in any such proceeding are referred to herein as “Avoidance Provisions”. Accordingly, to the extent that the obligations of a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Obligations for which such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to the greater of (A) the amount which, as of the time any of the Obligations are deemed to have been incurred by such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor to the Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents), to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions or (B) the amount which, as of the time demand is made hereunder upon such Subsidiary Guarantor for payment on account of the Obligations, would not cause the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor to the Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents), to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions. The provisions of this §37(e) are intended solely to preserve the rights of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, and no Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section as against the Agent and the Lenders that would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.

§38. ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND CONSENT TO BAIL-IN OF AFFECTED FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(i)the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

(ii)the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(1)a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(2)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it

122 

in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

§39. ACKNOWLEDGMENT REGARDING ANY SUPPORTED QFCS.

To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guaranty, mortgage, or otherwise, for any Hedge or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, default rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

$______________ _____________, 202__

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (the “Maker”), hereby promises to pay to ________________________________ (“Payee”), or order, in accordance with the terms of that certain Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated as of August ___, 2021, as from time to time in effect, among PLYMOUTH INDUSTRIAL OP, LP, the Subsidiary Guarantors, KeyBank National Association, for itself and as Agent, and such other Lenders as may be from time to time named therein (the “Credit Agreement”), to the extent not sooner paid, on or before the Maturity Date, the lesser of the principal sum of _________________ ($__________), or such amount as may be advanced by the Payee under the Credit Agreement as a Loan with daily interest from the date thereof, computed as provided in the Credit Agreement, on the principal amount hereof from time to time unpaid, at a rate per annum on each portion of the principal amount which shall at all times be equal to the rate of interest applicable to such portion in accordance with the Credit Agreement, and with interest on overdue principal and late charges at the rates provided in the Credit Agreement. Interest shall be payable on the dates specified in the Credit Agreement, except that all accrued interest shall be paid at the stated or accelerated maturity hereof or upon the prepayment in full hereof. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

Payments hereunder shall be made to the Agent for the Payee at 127 Public Square, Cleveland, Ohio 44114-1306, or at such other address as Agent may designate from time to time, or made by wire transfer in accordance with wiring instructions provided by the Agent.

This Note is one of one or more Term Notes evidencing borrowings under and is entitled to the benefits and subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement. The principal of this Note may be due and payable in whole or in part prior to the Maturity Date and is subject to mandatory prepayment in the amounts and under the circumstances set forth in the Credit Agreement, and may be prepaid in whole or from time to time in part, all as set forth in the Credit Agreement. Amounts of the Loans prepaid under the Credit Agreement prior to the applicable Maturity Date may not be reborrowed.

Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, all agreements between the undersigned Maker and the Lenders and the Agent, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of any of the Obligations or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received by the Lenders exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to the Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to the Lenders shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under applicable law; and if from any circumstance the Lenders shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Obligations of the undersigned Maker and to the payment of interest or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of

A-1

the Obligations of the undersigned Maker, such excess shall be refunded to the undersigned Maker. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal of the Obligations of the undersigned Maker (including the period of any renewal or extension thereof) so that the interest thereon for such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. This paragraph shall control all agreements between the undersigned Maker and the Lenders and the Agent.

In case an Event of Default shall occur, the entire principal amount of this Note may become or be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in said Credit Agreement.

This Note shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, including, without limitation, New York General Obligations Law Section 5-1401.

The undersigned Maker and all guarantors and endorsers, to the extent permitted by applicable law, hereby waive presentment, demand, notice, protest, notice of intention to accelerate the indebtedness evidenced hereby, notice of acceleration of the indebtedness evidenced hereby and all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance and enforcement of this Note, except as specifically otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement, and assent to extensions of time of payment or forbearance or other indulgence without notice.

PLYMOUTH INDUSTRIAL REIT REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

BOSTON, May 4, 2022 – Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc. (NYSE: PLYM) (the “Company”) today announced its consolidated financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022 and other recent developments.

First Quarter and Subsequent Highlights

· Reported results for the first quarter of 2022 reflect a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $7.7 million, or $(0.21) per weighted average common share; net operating income (“NOI”) of $28.6 million; Core Funds from Operations attributable to common stockholders and unit holders (“Core FFO”) of $0.47 per weighted average common share and units; and Adjusted FFO (“AFFO”) of $0.40 per weighted average common share and units.

· Same store NOI (“SS NOI”) increased 5.3% on a GAAP basis excluding early termination income for the first quarter compared with the same period in 2021; increased 5.1% on a cash basis excluding early termination income.

· During the first quarter and to date in the second quarter of 2022, acquired 40 industrial buildings totaling approximately 3.7 million square feet for $204.1 million, a weighted average price of $63.90 per square foot and a weighted average initial projected yield of 6.1%.

· Commenced leases during the first quarter totaling 1,309,285 square feet with a 16.8% increase in rental rates on a cash basis from leases greater than six months; through April 2022, approximately 55.4% of 2022 lease expirations have already been addressed in addition to 289,000 square feet of vacancy leased to new tenants.

· Issued 1.5 million common shares during the first quarter and to date in the second quarter of 2022 through its ATM program at an average price of $27.48 per share, raising net proceeds of approximately $41.7 million.

· Recast existing unsecured credit facility to include five new lenders, increasing its total borrowing capacity up to $800 million from $500 million and providing additional borrowing capacity to fund future growth.

· Increased the regular quarterly cash dividend for the first quarter of 2022 by 4.8% to $0.22 for the common stock and paid a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.46875 per share for the 7.50% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“the Preferred Stock”).

· Affirmed the full year 2022 guidance ranges for Core FFO per weighted average common share and units previously issued on February 23, 2022 and updated the full year net loss per weighted average common share and units guidance range as well as a number of the accompanying guidance assumptions.

· Converted 2,205,882 shares of the Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock to common stock on a one-to-one basis.

Jeff Witherell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Plymouth Industrial REIT, noted, “We exceeded our expectations for the first quarter with a 17.5% increase in Core FFO per share and units and a 5.1% increase in same-store NOI on a cash basis. These results are driven by the double-digit rent increases we continue to experience along with elevated leasing momentum as industrial fundamentals remain very attractive in our markets. Our strong outlook for year-over-year growth remains unchanged as we pursue disciplined expansion in our existing footprint and new adjacent markets while working diligently to improve our capital structure.”

Financial Results for the First Quarter of 2022

Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was $7.7 million, or $(0.21) per weighted average common share outstanding, compared with net loss attributable to common stockholders of $6.4 million, or $(0.24) per weighted average common share, for the same period in 2021. The net loss increased year-over-year primarily due to an increase in net operating income and unrealized depreciation of warrants, offset by increases in interest and depreciation expense associated with acquisition activity and loss on extinguishment of debt. Weighted average common shares outstanding for the first quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were 36.2 million and 27.2 million, respectively. Plymouth has a total of 40.1 million common shares outstanding as of May 2, 2022, including the conversion of 2.2 million shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

Consolidated total revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 were $42.8 million, compared with $31.9 million for the same period in 2021.

NOI for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was $28.6 million compared with $20.4 million for the same period in 2021. Same store NOI (“SS NOI”) – Cash basis for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was $19.2 million excluding early termination income compared with $18.2 million for the same period in 2021, an increase of 5.1%. SS NOI for the first quarter was positively impacted by rent escalations, renewal spreads and increased operating expense recoveries, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses. SS NOI – GAAP basis excluding early termination income for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was $20.3 million compared with $19.2 million for the same period in 2021, an increase of 5.3%.

EBITDAre for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was $25.0 million compared with $17.2 million for the same period in 2021.

Core FFO for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was $17.2 million compared with $11.2 million for the same period in 2021, primarily as a result of the contribution from acquisitions. The Company reported Core FFO for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 of $0.47 per weighted average common share and unit compared with $0.40 per weighted average common share and unit for the same period in 2021, representing a 17.5% increase. Weighted average common shares and units outstanding for the first quarters ended March 31, 2022, and 2021 were 37.0 million and 28.1 million, respectively. Plymouth has a total of 40.6 million common shares and units outstanding as of May 2, 2022, including the conversion of 2.2 million shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

AFFO for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was $14.7 million, or $0.40 per weighted average common share and unit, compared with $9.0 million, or $0.32 per weighted average common share and unit, for the same period in 2021, representing a 25.0% increase. The current period results reflected the change in Core FFO offset by increased commissions associated with leasing activity.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Definitions

Net Operating Income (NOI): We consider net operating income, or NOI, to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income in that it helps both investors and management understand the core operations of our properties. We define NOI as total revenue (including rental revenue and tenant reimbursements) less property-level operating expenses. NOI excludes depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, impairments, gain/loss on sale of real estate, interest expense, and other non-operating items.

EBITDAre: We define earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for real estate in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). EBITDAre represents net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, before interest expense, tax, depreciation and amortization, gains or losses on the sale of rental property, unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of warrants, loss on impairments, and loss on extinguishment of debt. We believe that EBITDAre is helpful to investors as a supplemental measure of our operating performance as a real estate company as it is a direct measure of the actual operating results of our industrial properties.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”): Funds from operations, or FFO, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is widely recognized as a measure of REIT operating performance. We consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of our operating performance as it is based on a net income analysis of property portfolio performance that excludes non-cash items such as depreciation. The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values rise and fall with market conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT, using historical accounting for depreciation, could be less informative. In December 2018, NAREIT issued a white paper restating the definition of FFO. The purpose of the restatement was not to change the fundamental definition of FFO, but to clarify existing NAREIT guidance. The restated definition of FFO is as follows: Net Income (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding: (i) Depreciation and amortization related to real estate, (ii) Gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, (iii) Gain and losses from change in control, and (iv) Impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity.

We define FFO consistent with the NAREIT definition. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. Other equity REITs may not calculate FFO as we do, and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ FFO. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.

Core Funds from Operations (“Core FFO”): Core FFO represents FFO reduced by dividends paid (or declared) to holders of our preferred stock and excludes certain non-cash operating expenses such as impairment on real estate lease, unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of warrants and loss on extinguishment of debt. As with FFO, our reported Core FFO may not be comparable to other REITs’ Core FFO, should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of our funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.

Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AFFO”): Adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, is presented in addition to Core FFO. AFFO is defined as Core FFO, excluding certain non-cash operating revenues and expenses, acquisition and transaction related costs for transactions not completed, capitalized interest, and recurring capitalized expenditures. Recurring capitalized expenditures include expenditures required to maintain and re-tenant our properties, tenant improvements and leasing commissions. AFFO further adjusts Core FFO for certain other non-cash items, including the amortization or accretion of above or below market rents included in revenues, straight line rent adjustments, non-cash equity compensation and non-cash interest expense.

We believe AFFO provides a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance because it provides a consistent comparison of our operating performance across time periods that is comparable for each type of real estate investment and is consistent with management’s analysis of the operating performance of our properties. As a result, we believe that the use of AFFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provide a more complete understanding of our operating performance. As with Core FFO, our reported AFFO may not be comparable to other REITs’ AFFO, should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of our funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.

Forward-Looking Statements: This Supplemental Information contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. We make statements in this Supplemental Information that are forward-looking statements, which are usually identified by the use of words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans” “projects,” “seeks,” “should,” “will,” and variations of such words or similar expressions. Our forward-looking statements reflect our current views about our plans, intentions, expectations, strategies and prospects, which are based on the information currently available to us and on assumptions we have made. Although we believe that our plans, intentions, expectations, strategies and prospects as reflected in or suggested by our forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that our plans, intentions, expectations, strategies or prospects will be attained or achieved and you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Additionally, unforeseen factors emerge from time to time, and we cannot predict which factors will arise or their ultimate impact on our business or the extent to which any such factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. One of these factors is the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the impact of which is difficult to fully assess at this time due to, among other factors, uncertainty regarding the severity and duration of the outbreak domestically and internationally and the effectiveness of efforts to contain the spread of the virus and its resulting direct and indirect impact on the U.S. economy and economic activity. Furthermore, actual results may differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements and may be affected by a variety of risks and factors. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. New risks and uncertainties arise over time, and it is not possible for us to predict those events or how they may affect us. Except as required by law, we are not obligated to, and do not intend to, update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Definitions and Reconciliations: For definitions of certain terms used throughout this Supplemental Information, including certain non-GAAP financial measures, refer to the Glossary on pages 18-19. For reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures, refer to page 9.

Glossary

This glossary contains additional details for sections throughout this Supplemental Information, including explanations and reconciliations of certain non-GAAP financial measures, and the reasons why we use these supplemental measures of performance and believe they provide useful information to investors. Additional detail can be found in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, as well as other documents filed with or furnished to the SEC from time to time.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Definitions:

Net Operating Income (NOI): We consider net operating income, or NOI, to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income in that it helps both investors and management understand the core operations of our properties. We define NOI as total revenue (including rental revenue and tenant reimbursements) less property-level operating expenses. NOI excludes depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, impairments, gain/loss on sale of real estate, interest expense, and other non-operating items.

Cash Net Operating Income - (Cash NOI): We define Cash NOI as NOI excluding straight-line rent adjustments and amortization of above and below market leases.

EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDA: We define earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for real estate in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). EBITDAre represents net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, before interest expense, tax, depreciation and amortization, gains or losses on the sale of rental property, unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of warrants, loss on impairments, and loss on extinguishment of debt. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA by adding or subtracting from EBITDAre the following items: (i) non-cash stock compensation, (ii) gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, (iii) acquisition expenses (iv) the proforma impacts of acquisition and dispositions and (v) non-cash impairments on real estate lease. We believe that EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDA are helpful to investors as supplemental measures of our operating performance as a real estate company as they are direct measures of the actual operating results of our industrial properties. EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDA should not be used as measures of our liquidity and may not be comparable to how other REITs' calculate EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDA.

Funds From Operations ("FFO"): Funds from operations, or FFO, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is widely recognized as a measure of REIT operating performance. We consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of our operating performance as it is based on a net income analysis of property portfolio performance that excludes non-cash items such as depreciation. The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values rise and fall with market conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT using historical accounting for depreciation could be less informative. In December 2018, NAREIT issued a white paper restating the definition of FFO. The purpose of the restatement was not to change the fundamental definition of FFO, but to clarify existing NAREIT guidance. The restated definition of FFO is as follows: Net Income (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding: (i) Depreciation and amortization related to real estate, (ii) Gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, (iii) Gain and losses from change in control, and (iv) Impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity.

We define FFO consistent with the NAREIT definition. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. Other equity REITs may not calculate FFO as we do, and accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ FFO. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.

Core Funds from Operations (“Core FFO”): Core FFO represents FFO reduced by dividends paid (or declared) to holders of our preferred stock and excludes certain non-cash operating expenses such as impairment on real estate lease, unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of warrants and loss on extinguishment of debt. As with FFO, our reported Core FFO may not be comparable to other REITs’ Core FFO, should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of our funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.

Adjusted Funds from Operations attributable to common stockholders (“AFFO”): Adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, is presented in addition to Core FFO. AFFO is defined as Core FFO, excluding certain non-cash operating revenues and expenses, acquisition and transaction related costs for transactions not completed, capitalized interest, and recurring capitalized expenditures. Recurring capitalized expenditures include expenditures required to maintain and re-tenant our properties, tenant improvements and leasing commissions. AFFO further adjusts Core FFO for certain other non-cash items, including the amortization or accretion of above or below market rents included in revenues, straight line rent adjustments, non-cash equity compensation and non-cash interest expense.

We believe AFFO provides a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance because it provides a consistent comparison of our operating performance across time periods that is comparable for each type of real estate investment and is consistent with management’s analysis of the operating performance of our properties. As a result, we believe that the use of AFFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provide a more complete understanding of our operating performance. As a result, we believe that the use of AFFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provide a more complete understanding of our operating performance.

As with Core FFO, our reported AFFO may not be comparable to other REITs’ AFFO, should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of our funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.

Net Debt and Preferred stock to Adjusted EBITDA: Net debt and preferred stock to Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe is useful to investors as a supplemental measure in evaluating balance sheet leverage. Net debt and preferred stock is equal to the sum of total consolidated and our pro rata share of unconsolidated joint venture debt less cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, plus preferred stock calculated at its liquidation preference as of the end of the period.

This glossary contains additional details for sections throughout this Supplemental Information, including explanations and reconciliations of certain non-GAAP financial measures, and the reasons why we use these supplemental measures of performance and believe they provide useful information to investors. Additional detail can be found in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, as well as other documents filed with or furnished to the SEC from time to time.

Other Definitions:

GAAP: U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Joint Venture Financial Information: We present components of balance sheet and operating results information related to our real estate joint venture, which are not presented, or intended to be presented, in accordance with GAAP. We present the proportionate share of certain financial line items by applying our noncontrolling economic interest ownership percentage to each financial item to arrive at the amount of such cumulative noncontrolling interest share of each component presented. In addition, we present components of balance sheet and portfolio information at 100% of the joint venture. We believe this information can help investors estimate the balance sheet and operating results information related to our unconsolidated joint venture. Presenting this information provides a perspective not immediately available from consolidated financial statements and one that can supplement an understanding of the joint venture assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses included in our consolidated results. Joint venture financial information should not be considered an alternative to our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Lease Type: We define our triple net leases in that the tenant is responsible for all aspects of and costs related to the property and its operation during the lease term. We define our modified net leases in that the landlord is responsible for some property related expenses during the lease term, but the cost of most of the expenses is passed through to the tenant. We define our gross leases in that the landlord is responsible for all aspects of and costs related to the property and its operation during the lease term.

Non-Recurring Capital Expenditures: Non-recurring capital expenditures include capital expenditures of long lived improvements required to upgrade/replace existing systems or items that previously did not exist. Non-recurring capital expenditures also include costs associated with repositioning a property, redevelopment/development and capital improvements known at the time of acquisition.

Occupancy: We define occupancy as the percentage of total leasable square footage as the earlier of lease term commencement or revenue recognition in accordance to GAAP as of the close of the reporting period.

Preferred Stock - Series B: On December 14, 2018, we completed the offering of 4,411,764 shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $17.00 per share for an aggregate consideration of $75,000 or $71,800, net of issuance costs. The relevant features of the Series B Preferred Stock ("Series B") are as follows ($ in thousands):

Year	Cash Pay Rate	Annual Cash Dividend	Liquidation Preference Per Share1	Conversion and Redemption Options2
4 - 2022	4.00%	$          3,000	$        22.54	- Commencing 1/1/2022, holders of the Series B have the right to convert at the liquidation preference; - Commencing 1/1/2022, Plymouth can elect to convert up to 100% of Series B upon the 20-day VWAP per share of Plymouth's common stock being greater than $26.35; - Neither option expires
5 - 2023	6.50%	$          4,875	$      24.02	Commencing 1/1/2023, Plymouth can redeem up to 50% of the Series B at the liquidation preference
6 - 20243	12.00%	$          9,000	$      25.84	- Commencing 1/1/2024, Plymouth can redeem up to 100% of the Series B at the liquidation preference; - Commencing 12/31/2024, any outstanding shares of Series B will automatically convert into common stock, subject to the 19.99% threshold4

1)	Liquidation Preference is defined as the greater of (a) the amount necessary for the holder to achieve a 12% internal rate of return, taking into account cash dividends paid and (b) $21.89, plus accrued and unpaid dividends.
2)	Conversion and Redemption Options grant Plymouth the right to settle the conversion/redemption via: I) Physical Settlement with each share of Series B being converted to a number of common shares equal to the greater of (i) one share of common stock or (ii) the quotient of the liquidation preference divided by the 20-Day VWAP, subject to the 19.99% threshold, or II) Cash Settlement whereby we pay for each share of Series B being converted in cash in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the liquidation preference or (ii) the 20-Day VWAP, or III) Combination Settlement whereby Plymouth shall pay, or deliver, in respect to each share of Series B being converted, a settlement amount equal to either (i) cash equal to the Cash Settlement amount or (ii) number of shares of common stock equal to the Physical Settlement.
3)	Effective 1/1/2025, in the event the Series B Preferred Stock has not been settled, the holders obtain certain governance rights, including the option to elect an additional two members to Plymouth's Board of Directors.
4)	The 19.99% Threshold requires approval from the shareholders of Plymouth's common stock to approve the conversion of any Series B Preferred Stock into common shares that exceeds 19.99% of the outstanding common shares as of December 14, 2018.

Recurring Capital Expenditures: Recurring capitalized expenditures includes capital expenditures required to maintain and re-tenant our buildings, tenant improvements and leasing commissions.

Replacement Cost: is based on the Marshall & Swift valuation methodology for the determination of building costs. The Marshall & Swift building cost data and analysis is widely recognized within the U.S. legal system and has been written into in law in over 30 U.S. states and recognized in the U.S. Treasury Department Internal Revenue Service Publication. Replacement cost includes land reflected at the allocated cost in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") ASC 805.

Same Store Portfolio: The Same Store Portfolio is a subset of the consolidated portfolio and includes properties that are wholly owned by the Company as of December 31, 2020. The Same Store Portfolio is evaluated and defined on an annual basis based on the growth and size of the consolidated portfolio. The Same Store Portfolio excludes properties that were or will be classified as repositioning or lease-up during 2021 and 2022. For 2022, the Same Store Portfolio consists of 99 properties aggregating 21,962 million rentable square feet. Properties that are being repositioned generally are defined as those properties where a significant amount of space is held vacant in order to implement capital improvements that enhance the functionality, rental cash flows, and value of that property. We define a significant amount of space at a property using both the size of the space and its proportion to the properties total square footage as a determinate. Our computation of same store NOI may not be comparable to other REITs.

VWAP: The volume weighted average price of a trading security.

Weighted Average Lease Term Remaining: The average contractual lease term remaining as of the close of the reporting period (in years) weighted by square footage.
