• Capital Commitments (a) The Partnership may from time to time, in the discretion of the Managing General Partner, issue additional Partnership Units and admit additional Limited Partners to the Partnership. Any Person that acquires Partnership Units for cash (an “Investor”) will acquire such Units pursuant to an agreement (a “Subscription Agreement”) between such Investor and the Partnership pursuant to which such Investor agrees to acquire, and the Partnership agrees to issue, Partnership Units in exchange for Capital Contributions in cash on such terms and conditions as are provided in this Agreement and as may be provided in such Subscription Agreement. A Subscription Agreement shall become effective as of the date it has been executed and delivered by the Investor party thereto and accepted by the Managing General Partner on behalf of the Partnership. Units issuable pursuant to a Subscription Agreement may be issuable in installments, with each installment being issuable, and the Capital Contribution therefor being payable, in accordance with calls for capital (“Capital Calls”) issued pursuant to written notice (the “Capital Call Notice”) to the Investor party to such Subscription Agreement. The total purchase price payable by any Investor under a Subscription Agreement for the Units issuable pursuant thereto is referred to as such Investor’s “Capital Commitment”. Each Investor which acquires any Units pursuant to a Subscription Agreement shall be deemed to be admitted to the Partnership as a Partner immediately upon the payment of the purchase price for the first Units so issued to such Investor. The aggregate amount of Capital Contributions made by a Partner (in cash or property) is referred to herein as such Partner’s “Funded Commitment”, and the portion of the Capital Commitment provided for in any Subscription Agreement that remains unpaid after any closing of a purchase and issuance of Units thereto shall be referred to as the “Unfunded Commitment” of the Partner party to such Subscription Agreement. Except as provided in Section 11.4(c), in no event will any Partner be required to contribute any capital to the Partnership in excess of such Partner’s Capital Commitment. (b) If at any time the Managing General Partner determines to raise capital by issuing Capital Calls to Partners having Unfunded Commitments, it shall generally issue such Capital Calls pro rata to each such Partner in proportion to the Unfunded Commitment of each such Partner. However, the Managing General Partner may, in its discretion, issue Capital Calls other than pro rata to the extent required by the terms of any Subscription Agreement or other agreement between the Partnership or the Managing General Partner and one or more Partners, or if the Managing General Partner otherwise deems it advisable to issue Capital Calls in some manner other than pro rata (for example, to assist in achieving or maintaining the status of any REIT in which the Partnership has a direct or indirect interest as a “domestically controlled” REIT). Each Capital Call Notice issued by the Managing General Partner shall specify the account to which Capital Contributions are to be delivered pursuant thereto and the date on which such Capital Contributions are due (“Payment Date”), which date shall be no sooner than ten Business Days after the date such Capital Call Notice is issued. All Capital Contributions made on or before the Payment Date specified in a Capital Call Notice shall be deemed to have been made on such Payment Date.

None of the respective commitments contained in the Financing Commitment Letter has been withdrawn, modified or rescinded in any respect prior to the date of this Agreement. The Financing Commitment Letter is in full force and effect and constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligation of each of Parent and Merger Sub, as applicable, and, to the knowledge of Parent, the other parties thereto. The Financing Commitment Letter is not subject to any conditions precedent, other than as expressly set forth in the Financing Commitment Letter. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Financing Commitment Letter, and assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Article III and the Company’s compliance with its agreements set forth in Article V, the aggregate proceeds to be disbursed pursuant to the agreements contemplated by the Financing Commitment Letter, together with the anticipated cash on hand of Parent and the Company, including their respective US and foreign Subsidiaries, in the aggregate amount of $1,155,600,000 are reasonably expected to be sufficient for Parent and the Surviving Company to pay the aggregate cash portion of the Merger Consideration and to pay all related fees and expenses (including the estimated fees and expenses of the Company to the extent previously disclosed to Parent), including payment of all amounts under Article II of this Agreement. As of the date of this Agreement, no event has occurred that would constitute a breach or default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a default), in each case, on the part of Parent or Merger Sub under the Financing Commitment Letter or, to the knowledge of Parent and Merger Sub, any other party to the Financing Commitment Letter. As of the date of this Agreement, and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained in Sections 6.1 and 6.3 (excluding Section 6.3(e)), Parent has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances that are reasonably likely to result in any of the conditions to the Financing not being satisfied or that the Financing will not be available to Parent on the Closing Date. Parent has fully paid all commitment fees or other fees required to be paid prior to the date of this Agreement pursuant to the Financing Commitment Letter.

• Incremental Commitments (1) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request Incremental Term Loan Commitments not to exceed $100,000,000 from one or more Eligible Assignees, in each case, that is a Farm Credit Lender (which, in each case, may include any existing Lender (but no such Lender shall be required to participate in any such Incremental Term Loan without its consent) and shall be subject to such consents, if any, as would be required in connection with an assignment of a Term Loan to such Person) willing to provide such Incremental Term Loans in their sole discretion (such Lenders, the “Incremental Term Loan Lenders”). Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments being requested (which shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 and minimum increments of $10,000,000, or remaining permitted amount or, in each case, such lesser amount approved by the Administrative Agent), (ii) whether the Incremental Term Loans to be borrowed pursuant to such Incremental Term Loan Commitments are to be an increase in any existing Class of Term Loans or a new Class of Term Loans and (iii) the date on which such Incremental Term Loan Commitments are requested to become effective (which shall, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, be not less than ten Business Days after the date such notice is delivered). (2) The Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and any other Person whose consent is required as provided above shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Additional Credit Extension Amendment and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Term Loan Commitment. Each Additional Credit Extension Amendment pursuant to this clause (d) shall specify the terms of the applicable Incremental Term Loans; provided that: (i) the Incremental Term Loans shall not be guaranteed by any Subsidiaries of the Borrower that do not guarantee the existing Loans and shall be secured on a pari passu basis by the same Collateral (and no additional collateral) securing the then existing Obligations; (ii) (A) the Maturity Date of any Incremental Term Loans shall be no earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date and (B) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Incremental Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any then outstanding Class of Term Loans; (iii) no Incremental Term Loan shall participate on a greater than pro rata basis with the then outstanding Term Loans in any mandatory prepayment; (iv) Incremental Term Loans shall have such interest rates, optional prepayment provisions and fees as may be agreed between the Lenders providing the applicable Incremental Term Loan Commitments and the Borrower (except that any Incremental Term Loans forming an addition to an existing Class of Term Loans shall have the same interest rates, optional prepayment provisions and fees (other than upfront fees) as the applicable existing Class of Term Loans); (v) subject to the above, any Incremental Term Loans shall be on terms and pursuant to documentation to be determined by the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loan; provided that, the terms applicable to any such Incremental Term Loans (except as expressly permitted above and except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the then Latest Maturity Date) are not, taken as a whole, materially more restrictive to the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, than the terms applicable to the then outstanding Commitments and Loans, as reasonably determined by the Borrower (except to the extent that this Agreement is amended (which shall not require the consent of any Lender) to incorporate such more restrictive provisions for the benefit of the then existing Lenders); and (vi) subject to Section 1.06, no Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall become effective under this Section 2.01(b) unless (w) no Default or Event of Default shall exist giving pro forma effect to such Incremental Term Loan Commitment and the incurrence of Indebtedness thereunder and use of proceeds therefrom; (x) the conditions set forth in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 5.02 are satisfied whether or not a Credit Extension is made on such date (and, only to the extent a Borrowing is made on such date, clause (c) is required to be complied with); (y) on a Pro Forma Basis, giving effect to such Incremental Term Loans and the incurrence of Indebtedness thereunder (assuming that such commitments are fully drawn on such date) and use of proceeds therefrom, the Borrower would be in compliance with Section 8.11 and (z) the Administrative Agent shall have received documents and legal opinions as to such matters as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent. Upon any increase of any existing Class of Term Loans, the Lenders shall take any action as may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure that the Borrowings of such Class are held by the Lenders of such Class on a pro rata basis in accordance with the respective amount of Term Loans of such Class held by each Lender.

• Termination and Reduction of Revolving Commitments (a) Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. (b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) each partial reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.08, the sum of the Aggregate Total Exposure would exceed the total Commitments. (c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or another transaction, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be applied to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages. (d) If, after giving effect to any reduction of the Revolving Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Revolving Commitments, such Letter of Credit Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.
