(b) If requested by a Revolving Credit Lender, a Revolving Credit Note shall be payable to each Revolving Credit Lender 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 in this Agreement.

Except as otherwise provided in this Section, no Bid Loan Quote Request shall be given within five (5) Business Days (or such other number of days as Borrower and Agent, with the consent of the Majority Revolving Credit Lenders, may agree) of any other Bid Loan Quote Request. Each Bid Loan Quote Request shall also contain the statements and certifications required by §2.7(i) and (ii).

(B) Each Revolving Credit Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, in response to any Bid Loan Quote Request submit one or more written quotes substantially in

the form of Exhibit M-2 (each a “Bid Loan Quote”), duly completed, each containing an offer to make a Bid Loan for the Interest Period requested and setting forth the rates of interest so offered by each Revolving Credit Lender to be applicable to such Bid Loan; provided that (a) a Revolving Credit Lender may make a single submission containing one or more Bid Loan Quotes in response to several Bid Loan Quote Requests given at the same time; and (b) the principal amount of the Bid Loan for which each such offer is being made shall be at least $2,000,000 and multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided that the aggregate principal amount of all Bid Loans for which a Revolving Credit Lender submits Bid Loan Quotes (i) may be greater or less than the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Revolving Credit Lender but (ii) may not exceed the principal amount of the Bid Loan Borrowing for which offers were requested. Each Bid Loan Quote by a Revolving Credit Lender other than the Person serving as the Agent must be submitted to Agent by fax not later than 8:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) on the Drawdown Date (or such other time and date as Borrower and Agent, with the consent of the Majority Revolving Credit Lenders, may agree); provided that any Bid Loan Quote may be submitted by the Person serving as Agent, in its capacity as a Revolving Credit Lender, only if the Person serving as Agent notifies Borrower of the terms of the offer contained therein not later than 7:45 a.m. (Cleveland time) on the Drawdown Date. The Agent shall incur no liability whatsoever hereunder in acting upon any Bid Loan Quote purportedly made by a representative of a Lender, each of which hereby agrees to indemnify the Agent from any loss, cost, expense or liability as a result of so acting with respect to that Lender. Subject to §§11 and 12, any Bid Loan Quote so made shall be irrevocable except with the consent of Agent given on the instructions of Borrower. Unless otherwise agreed by Agent and Borrower, no Bid Loan Quote shall contain qualifying, conditional or similar language or propose terms other than or in addition to those set forth in the applicable Bid Loan Quote Request and, in particular, no Bid Loan Quote may be conditioned upon acceptance by Borrower of all (or some specified minimum) of the principal amount of the Bid Loan for which such Bid Loan Quote is being made.

(C) Agent shall, as promptly as practicable after any Bid Loan Quote is submitted (but in any event not later than 8:30 a.m. (Cleveland time) on the Drawdown Date, or 7:45 a.m. (Cleveland time) on the Drawdown Date with respect to any Bid Loan Quote submitted by the Person serving as Agent, in its capacity as a Revolving Credit Lender), notify Borrower of the terms (1) of any Bid Loan Quote submitted by a Revolving Credit Lender that is in accordance with this §2.1(c)(ii) and (2) of any Bid Loan Quote that amends, modifies or is otherwise inconsistent with a previous Bid Loan Quote submitted by such Revolving Credit Lender with respect to the same Bid Loan Quote Request. Any subsequent Bid Loan Quote shall be disregarded by Agent unless the subsequent Bid Loan Quote is submitted solely to correct a manifest error in a former Bid Loan Quote. Agent’s notice to Borrower shall specify (x) the aggregate principal amount of the Bid Loan Borrowing for which Bid Loan Quotes have been received and (y) (I) the respective principal amounts and (II) the rates of interest so offered by each Revolving Credit Lender (identifying the Revolving Credit Lender that made each such Bid Loan Quote).

(D) Not later than 9:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) on the Drawdown Date (or such other time and date as Borrower and Agent, with the consent of each Revolving Credit Lender that has submitted a Bid Loan Quote may agree), Borrower shall notify Agent of its acceptance or nonacceptance of the Bid Loan Quotes so notified to it, and Agent shall promptly notify each affected Revolving Credit Lender. Failure of Borrower to timely give such notice shall

constitute nonacceptance of the Bid Loan Quotes. In the case of acceptance, such notice shall specify the aggregate principal amount of offers for each Interest Period that are accepted. Borrower may accept any Bid Loan Quote in whole or in part; provided that (1) any Bid Loan Quote accepted in part shall be at least $1,000,000 and multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; (2) the aggregate principal amount of each Bid Loan Borrowing may not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the related Bid Loan Quote Request; (3) the aggregate principal amount of each Bid Loan Borrowing shall be at least $2,000,000 and multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and shall not cause the limits specified above to be violated; (4) Borrower must accept all Absolute Rate Bids at all lower fixed interest rates before accepting any portion of an Absolute Rate Bid at a higher fixed interest rate; (5) Borrower must accept all LIBOR Margin Bids at all lower margins over (or greater margins under) LIBOR before accepting any portion of a LIBOR Margin Bid at a higher margin above (or lower margin under); and (6) Borrower may not accept any offer where Agent has advised Borrower that such offer fails to comply with this §2.1(c)(ii) or otherwise fails to comply with the requirements of this Agreement. If offers are made by two or more Revolving Credit Lenders with the same interest rates for a greater aggregate principal amount than the amount in respect of which offers are permitted to be accepted for the related Interest Period, the principal amount of Bid Loans in respect of which such offers are accepted shall be allocated by Borrower among such Revolving Credit Lenders as nearly as possible (in amounts of at least $1,000,000 and multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof) in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of such offers. Determinations by Borrower of the amounts of Bid Loans shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, Borrower shall have no obligation to accept any Bid Loan Quote by a Defaulting Lender.

(E) Subject to the terms set forth in this Agreement, any Revolving Credit Lender whose offer to make any Bid Loan has been accepted shall, prior to 10:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) on the date specified for the making of such Loan, make the amount of such Loan available to Agent in immediately available funds, for the account of Borrower. The amount so received by Agent shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be made available to Borrower on or before 11:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) on such date by depositing the same, in immediately available funds, in an account of Borrower designated by Borrower and maintained with Agent.

(F) If requested by a Revolving Credit Lender, a Bid Loan Note shall be payable to each Revolving Credit Lender in the principal amount equal to the Bid Loan Sublimit or, if less, the outstanding amount of all Bid Loans made by such Revolving Credit Lender, plus interest accrued thereon, as provided in this Agreement.

(G) Each Bid Loan shall be subject to all of the terms of this Agreement generally, provided that any Revolving Credit Lender who makes a Bid Loan to Borrower shall not, subject to the terms of §2.1(a), be relieved of its obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans to Borrower. Unless the Bid Loan Quote Request specifies that the requested Bid Loan is prepayable, no Bid Loan may be prepaid without the prior written consent of the affected Lender.

§2.2 Commitment to Lend Term Loans.

(a) (b) Each of the Term Loan A Lenders severally has advanced pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement such Term Loan A Lender’s Term Loan A Commitment, which remains fully advanced and Outstanding under this Agreement.

(i) If requested by a Term Loan A Lender, a Term Loan A Note shall be payable to each Term Loan A Lender in the principal amount equal to such Term Loan A Lender’s Term Loan A Commitment or, if less, the outstanding amount of all Term Loans A made by such Term Loan A Lender, plus interest accrued thereon, as set forth in this Agreement. The Drawdown Date for any of the Term Loans A which does not have an Interest Period commencing on the Closing Date shall be the currently effective “Drawdown Date” for the “Term Loans A” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) under the Existing Credit Agreement, and the “Interest Periods” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) with respect to such “Term Loans A” under the Existing Credit Agreement shall remain in effect.

(c) (d) Each of the Term Loan B Lenders has advanced pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement such Term Loan B Lender’s Term Loan B Commitment, which remains fully advanced and Outstanding under this Agreement.

(i) If requested by a Term Loan B Lender, a Term Loan B Note shall be payable to each Term Loan B Lender in the principal amount equal to such Term Loan B Lender’s Term Loan B Commitment or, if less, the outstanding amount of all Term Loans B made by such Term Loan B Lender, plus interest accrued thereon, as set forth in this Agreement. The Drawdown Date for any of the Term Loans B which does not have an Interest Period commencing on the Closing Date shall be the currently effective “Drawdown Date” for the “Term Loans B” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) under the Existing Credit Agreement, and the “Interest Periods” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) with respect to such “Term Loans B” under the Existing Credit Agreement shall remain in effect.

§2.3 Unused Fee; Facility Fee.

(a) Subject to §2.3(b), Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders (other than a Defaulting Lender for such period of time as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender) in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages an unused fee (the “Unused Fee”) calculated at the rate per annum as set forth below on the average daily amount by which the Total Revolving Credit Commitment exceeds the Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, aggregate Letter of Credit Liabilities, and the Outstanding Swing Loans, during each calendar quarter or portion thereof commencing on the date hereof and ending on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, subject to §2.3(b). The Unused Fee shall be calculated for each quarter based on the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (a) the average amount of the Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, Outstanding Bid Loans, Outstanding Swing Loans and aggregate Letter of Credit Liabilities during such quarter to (b) the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, and if such ratio is less than fifty percent (50%), the Unused Fee shall be payable at the rate of 0.25% per annum, and if such ratio is equal to or greater than fifty percent (50%), the Unused Fee shall be payable at the rate of 0.15% per annum. The Unused Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first (1st) day of each calendar quarter for the immediately preceding calendar quarter or portion thereof, and on any earlier date on which the Total Revolving Credit

Commitments shall be reduced or shall terminate as provided in §2.4, with a final payment on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

(b) From and after the date that Agent receives written notice that Borrower has first obtained an Investment Grade Rating and that Borrower has irrevocably elected to have the Applicable Margin determined pursuant to subparagraph (b) of the definition of Applicable Margin, the Unused Fee shall no longer accrue (but any accrued Unused Fee shall be payable as provided in §2.3(a)), and from and thereafter, Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) calculated at the rate per annum set forth below based upon the applicable Credit Rating Level on the Total Revolving Credit Commitment:



Credit Rating Level	Facility Fee Rate
Credit Rating Xxxxx 0	0.125%
Credit Rating Xxxxx 0	0.15%
Credit Rating Xxxxx 0	0.20%
Credit Rating Xxxxx 0	0.25%
Credit Rating Xxxxx 0	0.30%

The Facility Fee shall be calculated for each day and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first (1st) day of each fiscal quarter for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter or portion thereof, and on any earlier date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be reduced or shall terminate as provided in §2.4, with a final payment on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. The Facility Fee shall be determined by reference to the Credit Rating Level in effect from time to time; provided, however, that no change in the Facility Fee rate resulting from a change in the Credit Rating Level shall be effective until three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Agent receives written notice of a change.

§2.4 Reduction and Termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments. 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 (provided that in no event shall the Total Revolving Credit Commitment be reduced in such manner to an amount less than fifty percent (50%) of the greatest Total Revolving Credit Commitment in effect under this Agreement at any time) 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, (a) the sum of Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, the Outstanding Swing Loans, the Outstanding Bid Loans, and the Letter of Credit Liabilities would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders as so terminated or reduced, or (b) the Outstanding Bid Loans would exceed the Bid Loan Sublimit as so terminated or reduced. Promptly after receiving any notice from Borrower delivered

pursuant to this §2.4, the Agent will notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of the substance thereof. Any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall also result in a proportionate reduction (rounded to the next lowest integral multiple of $100,000) in the maximum amount of Swing Loans, Bid Loans and Letters of Credit. Upon the effective date of any such reduction or termination, Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Lenders the full amount of any Unused Fee or Facility Fee under §2.3 then accrued on the amount of the reduction. No reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments may be reinstated.

§2.5 Swing Loan Commitment.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Swing Loan Lender agrees to lend to Borrower (the “Swing Loans”), and 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 Revolving Credit Maturity Date upon notice by Borrower to the Swing Loan Lender given in accordance with this §2.5, such sums as are requested by Borrower for the purposes set forth in §2.9 in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not exceeding the Swing Loan Commitment; provided that in all events (i) in accordance with §11.2 no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (ii) the Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, Outstanding Swing Loans (after giving effect to all amounts requested), Outstanding Bid Loans plus Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not at any time exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment; and (iii) the Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, Outstanding Term Loans, Outstanding Swing Loans (after giving effect to all amounts requested), Outstanding Bid Loans plus Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not at any time exceed the Total Commitment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this §2.5, the Swing Loan Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Loan at a time when any other Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless the Swing Loan Lender is reasonably satisfied that the participation therein will otherwise be fully allocated to the Revolving Credit Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders consistent with §2.13(c) and the Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein, except to the extent the Swing Loan Lender has entered into arrangements with Borrower or such Defaulting Lender that are satisfactory to the Swing Loan Lender in its good faith determination to eliminate the Swing Loan Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to any such Defaulting Lender, including the delivery of cash collateral. Swing Loans shall constitute “Revolving Credit Loans” for all purposes hereunder. The funding of a Swing Loan hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by Borrower that all of the conditions 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 Revolving Credit 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 §2.5(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. A Swing Loan may not be refinanced with another Swing Loan.

(b) The Swing Loan Note shall be payable to the Swing Loan Lender in the principal face amount equal to the Swing Loan Commitment and shall be payable as set forth in this Agreement.

(c) Borrower shall request a Swing Loan by delivering to the Swing Loan Lender a Revolving Credit Loan Request executed by an Authorized Officer no later than 11:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) on the requested Drawdown Date specifying the amount of the requested Swing Loan (which shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000.00) and providing the wire instructions for the delivery of the Swing Loan proceeds. The Revolving Credit Loan Request shall also contain the statements and certifications required by §2.7(i) and (ii). Each such Revolving Credit Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrower and shall obligate 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 Revolving Credit Base Rate Loans. The proceeds of the Swing Loan will be disbursed by wire by the Swing Loan Lender to Borrower no later than 1:00 p.m. (Cleveland 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(a) 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 Borrower does not notify the Agent in writing on or before noon (Cleveland Time) of the second (2^nd) Business Day after the Drawdown Date with respect to such Swing Loan that such Swing Loan shall be repaid within five (5) Business Days after the date such Swing Loan was provided, Agent shall notify the Revolving Credit Lenders that such Revolving Credit Loan shall be a Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month, provided that the making of such Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loan will not be in contravention of any other provision of this Agreement, or if the making of a Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate 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 §2.5(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 §2.5(e) shall apply), each Revolving Credit Lender shall make the proceeds of its Revolving Credit 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 (Cleveland time) in funds immediately available no later than the third (3rd) Business Day after the date such notice is given just as if the Revolving Credit Lenders were funding directly to Borrower, so that thereafter such Obligations shall be evidenced by the Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.5(d), each Revolving Credit Lender will, on the date such Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.5(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. 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.

(f) Whenever at any time after the Swing Loan Lender has received from any Revolving Credit Lender such Revolving Credit 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 §2.5(d) or to purchase participation interests pursuant to §2.5(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 Borrower may have against the Swing Loan Lender, Borrower or Guarantors 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 Borrower, REIT or any of their respective Subsidiaries; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by Borrower, Guarantors 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 §2.8 and §12.5, and shall have such rights and remedies against such Lender as are set forth in §§2.8, 2.13, 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.

§2.6 Interest on Loans.

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

(b) Each Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate 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 LIBOR determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loans.

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

(d) Each Term LIBOR Rate 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 the LIBOR determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for Term LIBOR Rate Loans.

(e) Each Bid Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the date on which such Bid Loan is repaid at the rate per annum quoted by the Lender or Lenders making such Bid Loan pursuant to §2.1(c).

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

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

§2.7 Requests for Loans.

(a) Requests for Revolving Credit Loans. Except with respect to the initial Revolving Credit Loan on the Closing Date, Borrower shall give to the Agent written notice executed by an Authorized Officer in the form of Exhibit F hereto (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing in the form of Exhibit F hereto) of each Revolving Credit Loan requested hereunder (a “Revolving Credit Loan Request”) by 11:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to Revolving Credit Base Rate Loans and three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loans. Each such notice shall specify with respect to the requested Revolving Credit Loan the proposed principal amount of such Revolving Credit Loan, the Type of Revolving Credit Loan, the initial Interest Period (if applicable) for such Revolving Credit Loan and the Drawdown Date. Each such notice shall also contain (i) a general statement as to the purpose for which such advance shall be used (which purpose shall be in accordance with the terms of §2.9) and (ii) a certification by the chief financial officer or chief accounting officer (or other accounting officer reasonably approved by Agent) of Borrower (or of REIT) that Borrower and Guarantors are and will be in compliance with all covenants under the Loan Documents after giving effect to the making and use of such Revolving Credit Loan. Promptly upon receipt of any such notice, the Agent shall notify each of the Revolving Credit Lenders thereof. Each such Revolving Credit Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrower and shall obligate Borrower to accept the Revolving Credit Loan requested from the Revolving Credit Lenders on the proposed Drawdown Date; provided, that such Loan Request may, by notice to the Agent delivered simultaneously with such Loan Request, be made contingent on the consummation of a refinancing or other transaction, and may in such event be modified or rescinded if such refinancing or other transaction does not close on the originally anticipated closing date; provided, further, that Borrower shall remain liable for any Breakage Costs. Nothing herein shall prevent Borrower from seeking recourse against any Revolving Credit Lender that fails to advance its proportionate share of a requested Revolving Credit Loan as required by this Agreement. Each Revolving Credit Loan Request shall be (a) for a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 in excess thereof; or (b) for a Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loan in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $250,000.00 in excess thereof; provided, however, that

there shall be no more than ten (10) LIBOR Rate Loans (whether Term Loan, Revolving Credit Loan or Bid Loan) outstanding at any one time unless all of the Lenders agree to allow additional LIBOR Rate Loans.

(b) [Intentionally Omitted.]

§2.8 Funds for Loans.

(a) Not later than 1:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the proposed Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans, each of the Revolving Credit Lenders or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, will make available to the Agent, at the Agent’s Head Office, in immediately available funds, the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of the requested Loans which may be disbursed pursuant to §2.1 or §2.2. Upon receipt from each such Revolving Credit Lender or Term Loan Lender, as applicable, 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 Borrower the aggregate amount of such Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans made available to the Agent by the Revolving Credit Lenders or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, by crediting such amount to the account of Borrower maintained at the Agent’s Head Office. The failure or refusal of any Revolving Credit Lender or Term Loan Lender to make available to the Agent at the aforesaid time and place on any Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans the amount of its Commitment Percentage of the requested Loans shall not relieve any other Revolving Credit Lender or Term Loan Lender from its several obligation hereunder to make available to the Agent the amount of such other Lender’s Commitment Percentage of any requested Loans, including any additional Revolving Credit Loans or Term 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 prior to the applicable Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans that such Lender will not make available to Agent such Lender’s Commitment 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 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 Borrower, and Borrower shall promptly pay such corresponding amount to the Agent. The Agent shall also be entitled to recover from the Lender or Borrower, 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 Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Agent at a per annum rate equal to (i) from Borrower at the applicable rate for such Loan or (ii) from a Lender at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

§2.9 Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loans and the Letters of Credit solely to (a) pay closing costs in connection with this Agreement; (b) repay Indebtedness, fund future development projects and property and equipment acquisitions of Borrower and its Subsidiaries and (d) for working capital and general corporate purposes. In no event shall Borrower

and the Guarantors use the proceeds of the Loans and the Letters of Credit to purchase or carry, or extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying, any “margin security” or “margin stock” as such terms are used in Regulations T, U and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 12 C.F.R. Parts 220, 221 and 224.

§2.10 Letters of Credit.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at any time and from time to time from the Closing Date through the day that is ninety (90) days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Issuing Lender shall issue such Letters of Credit as Borrower may request upon the delivery of a written request in the form of Exhibit H hereto (a “Letter of Credit Request”) to the Issuing Lender, 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 Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000.00), (iii) in no event shall the sum of (A) the Revolving Credit Loans Outstanding, (B) the Swing Loans Outstanding, (C) the Bid Loans Outstanding, and (D) the amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities (after giving effect to all Letters of Credit requested) exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, (iv) in no event shall the aggregate Outstanding Term Loans, Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, Outstanding Swing Loans, Outstanding Bid Loans and the aggregate Letter of Credit Liabilities (after giving effect to any requested Letters of Credit) exceed the Total Commitment or cause a violation of the covenant set forth in §9.1, (v) the conditions set forth in §§10 and 11 shall have been satisfied, 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this §2.10, the Issuing Lender shall not be obligated to issue, amend, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit at a time when any other Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless the Issuing Lender is reasonably satisfied that the participation therein will otherwise be fully allocated to the Revolving Credit Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders consistent with §2.13(c) and the Defaulting Lender shall have no participation therein, except to the extent the Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements with Borrower or such Defaulting Lender which are satisfactory to the Issuing Lender in its good faith determination to eliminate the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to any such Defaulting Lender, including the delivery of cash collateral. 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. Borrower assumes all risks with respect to the use of the Letters of Credit. Unless the Issuing Lender and the Majority Revolving Credit 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 acceptable to Agent and Issuing Lender (but in any event the term shall not extend beyond 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 Credit Commitment as a Revolving

Credit Loan. The Existing Letters of Credit shall upon the Closing Date be deemed to be Letters of Credit under this Agreement.

(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 the chief financial or chief accounting officer (or other accounting officer reasonably approved by Agent) of Borrower that Borrower and Guarantors are and will be in compliance with all covenants under the Loan Documents after giving effect to the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Borrower shall further deliver to the Issuing Lender such additional applications (which application as of the date hereof is in the form of Exhibit K attached hereto) and documents as the Issuing Lender may require, in conformity with the then standard practices of its letter of credit department, 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 §2.10(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, Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender (i) for its own account, a Letter of Credit issuance fee calculated at the rate per annum equal to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) of the amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (which fee shall not be less than $1,500 in any event), and (ii) for the accounts of the Revolving Credit Lenders that are Non-Defaulting 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 for Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loans on the amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Such fee under clause (e)(i) shall be payable upon issuance of the Letter of Credit, and the fee under clause (e)(ii) shall be payable in quarterly installments in arrears with respect to each Letter of Credit on the first 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. In addition, Borrower shall pay to Issuing Lender for its own account within five (5) days of demand of Issuing Lender the standard issuance, documentation and service charges for Letters of Credit issued from time to time by Issuing Lender.

(f) In the event that any amount is drawn under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, 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, telegram, electronic mail, 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 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 LIBOR Rate 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 §2.10(f), provided that the making of such Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate 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 §2.10(f) until such amount has been funded (as a result of such assignment or otherwise). In the event of any such failure or refusal, the Revolving Credit Lenders not so failing or refusing shall be entitled to a priority position for such amounts as provided in §12.5. 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 §2.10(f).

(g) If after the issuance of a Letter of Credit pursuant to §2.10(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 §2.10(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 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 for liability to Borrower arising as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Lender as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods.

§2.11 Increase in Total Commitment.

(a) Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this §2.11, Borrower shall have the option at any time and from time to time before the date which is ninety (90) days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Term Loan A Maturity Date or the Term Loan B Maturity Date, as applicable, to request by delivery of written notice to Agent an increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and/or the Total Term Loan A Commitment and/or the Total Term Loan B

Commitment, by an aggregate amount of increases to the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, Total Term Loan A Commitment and the Total Term Loan B Commitment of up to $300,000,000 (which, assuming no previous reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments, Term Loan A Commitments or the Term Loan B Commitments, would result in a maximum Total Commitment of $1,850,000,000) (an “Increase Notice”; and the amount of such requested increase is the “Commitment Increase”). The Commitment Increase shall be set forth in the Increase Notice, and must be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000.00 and increments of $5,000,000.00 in excess thereof unless otherwise approved by Agent. The execution and delivery of the Increase Notice by Borrower shall constitute a representation and warranty by Borrower that all the conditions set forth in this §2.11 shall have been satisfied on the date of such Increase Notice. The Commitment Increase may be allocated, at Borrower’s option, to the then existing Revolving Credit Commitments, or to the then existing Term Loan A Commitments or Term Loan B Commitments, or any combination thereof (provided that no Commitment Increase may be allocated to any portion of the Total Commitment as to which the applicable maturity date (i.e., the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Term Loan A Maturity Date or the Term Loan B Maturity Date) has occurred).

(b) Upon receipt of any Increase Notice, the Agent shall consult with Arrangers and shall notify Borrower of the amount of facility fees to be paid to any Lenders who provide an additional Revolving Credit Commitment, Term Loan A Commitment and/or Term Loan B Commitment, as applicable, in connection with such increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, the Total Term Loan A Commitment or Total Term Loan B Commitment, as applicable (which shall be in addition to the fees to be paid to Agent or Arrangers pursuant to the Agreement Regarding Fees). If Borrower agrees to pay the facility fees so determined, then the Agent shall send a notice to all Revolving Credit Lenders, Term Loan A Lenders and/or Term Loan B Lenders, as applicable, (the “Additional Commitment Request Notice”) informing them of Borrower’s request to increase the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, Total Term Loan A Commitment, or Total Term Loan B Commitment, as applicable, and of the facility fees to be paid with respect thereto. Each Lender who desires to provide an additional Revolving Credit Commitment, Term Loan A Commitment, and/or Term Loan B Commitment, as applicable, upon such terms shall provide Agent with a written commitment letter specifying the amount of the additional Revolving Credit Commitment, Term Loan A Commitment, and/or Term Loan B Commitment, as applicable, which it is willing to provide prior to such deadline as may be specified in the Additional Commitment Request Notice. If the requested increase is oversubscribed then the Agent and the Arrangers shall allocate the Commitment Increase among the Revolving Credit Lenders, Term Loan A Lenders and/or Term Loan B Lenders, as applicable, who provide such commitment letters on such basis as the Agent, the Arrangers and Borrower shall determine. In addition, the Agent and Arrangers shall, at Borrower’s request, invite one or more banks or lending institutions selected by Borrower (which banks or lending institutions shall be reasonably acceptable to Agent (in its capacity as such), Arrangers and Borrower) to become a Revolving Credit Lender, Term Loan A Lender and/or Term Loan B Lender and provide an additional Revolving Credit Commitment, Term Loan A Commitment and/or Term Loan B Commitment, as applicable. In addition, the Agent shall provide all Revolving Credit Lenders, Term Loan A Lenders and/or Term Loan B Lenders, as applicable, with a notice setting forth the amount, if any, of the additional Revolving Credit Commitment, Term Loan A Commitment and/or Term Loan B Commitment, to be provided by each Revolving Credit Lender, Term Loan A Lender and/or Term Loan B Lender, as applicable, and the revised Revolving

Credit Commitment Percentages, Term Loan A Commitment Percentages and/or Term Loan B Commitment Percentages, as applicable, which shall be applicable after the effective date of the Commitment Increase specified therein (the “Commitment Increase Date”). In no event shall any Lender be obligated to provide an additional Revolving Credit Commitment, Term Loan A Commitment or Term Loan B Commitment.

(c) On any Commitment Increase Date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment is increased, the Outstanding 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 Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage (as in effect after the applicable Commitment Increase Date) of the Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans. The participation interests of the Revolving Credit Lenders in Outstanding Swing Loans and Outstanding 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 Base Rate Loans until converted to LIBOR Rate Loans which are allocated among all Lenders based on their Commitment Percentages. Borrower further agrees to pay the Breakage Costs, if any, resulting from any Commitment Increase.

(d) Upon the effective date of each increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, Total Term Loan A Commitment or Total Term Loan B Commitment pursuant to this §2.11, the Agent may unilaterally revise Schedule 1.1 and Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Agent new Revolving Credit Notes, Term Loan A Notes and Term Loan B Notes for each Lender whose Commitment has changed so that the principal amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Note shall equal its Revolving Credit Commitment, such Term Loan A Lender’s Term Loan A Note shall equal its Term Loan A Commitment, and such Term Loan B Lender’s Term Loan B Note shall equal its Term Loan B Commitment. If there is an increase to the Revolving Credit Commitment, Borrower shall also execute and deliver to each Revolving Credit Lender a Bid Loan Note in the face amount of the new Bid Loan Sublimit. The Agent shall deliver such replacement Revolving Credit Notes, Term Loan A Notes, Term Loan B Notes and Bid Loan Notes, as applicable, to the respective Lenders in exchange for the Revolving Credit Notes, Bid Loan Notes, Term Loan A Notes and Term Loan B Notes replaced thereby which shall be surrendered by such Lenders to Agent who shall deliver such replaced Notes to Borrower for cancellation. Such new Revolving Credit Notes, Term Loan A Notes, Term Loan B Notes and Bid Loan Notes shall provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Revolving Credit Notes, Term Loan A Notes, Term Loan B Notes and Bid Loan Notes, as applicable, 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 Revolving Credit Notes, Term Loan A Notes, Term Loan B Notes or Bid Loan Notes, as applicable. Upon Agent’s request within five (5) days of issuance of any new Notes pursuant to this §2.11(d), Borrower shall deliver an opinion of counsel, addressed to the Lenders and the Agent, relating to the due authorization, execution and delivery of such new Revolving Credit Notes, Term Loan A Notes, Term Loan B Notes and/or Bid Loan Notes and the enforceability thereof, in form

and substance substantially similar to the opinion delivered in connection with the first disbursement under this Agreement. Any surrendered Revolving Credit Notes, Term Loan A Notes and Term Loan B Notes shall be canceled and returned to Borrower.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the obligation of the Agent and the Revolving Credit Lenders providing an additional Revolving Credit Commitment to increase the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and/or the Agent and the Term Loan A Lenders or Term Loan B Lenders providing an additional Term Loan A Commitment or Term Loan B Commitment to increase the Total Term Loan A Commitment or Total Term Loan B Commitment, as applicable, pursuant to this §2.11 shall be conditioned upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent which must be satisfied prior to the effectiveness of any increase of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, the Total Term Loan A Commitment, or the Total Term Loan B Commitment, as applicable:

(i) Payment of Activation Fee. Borrower shall pay (A) to the Arrangers those fees described in and contemplated by the Agreement Regarding Fees with respect to the applicable Commitment Increase, subject to the terms thereof, and (B) to the Arrangers such facility fees as the Revolving Credit Lenders, Term Loan A Lenders or Term Loan B Lenders, as applicable, who are providing an additional Commitment may require to increase or provide the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment, Term Loan A Commitment or Term Loan B Commitment, which fees shall, when paid, be fully earned and non-refundable under any circumstances. The Arrangers shall pay to the Lenders acquiring or providing the applicable Commitment Increase any fees set forth pursuant to any 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 Revolving Credit Commitment, Total Term Loan A Commitment or Total Term Loan B Commitment is increased, there shall exist no Default or Event of Default; and

(iii) Representations True. The representations and warranties made by Borrower and the Guarantors in the Loan Documents or otherwise made by Borrower and the Guarantors 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 of such Increase Notice and on the date the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, Total Term Loan A and/or Total Term Loan B Commitment is increased, both immediately before and after the Total Commitment is increased (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 in all material respects only as of such specified date); and

(iv) Additional Documents and Expenses. Borrower shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to Agent and the Lenders such additional documents, instruments, certifications and opinions as the Agent may reasonably require in its reasonable discretion, including, without limitation, a Compliance Certificate, demonstrating compliance with all covenants, representations and warranties set forth in the Loan Documents after giving effect to the increase.

§2.12 Extension of Revolving Credit Maturity Date. Borrower shall have the one-time right and option to extend the Revolving Credit Maturity Date to November 22, 2021, upon satisfaction 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. Borrower shall deliver written notice of such request (the “Extension Request”) to the Agent not earlier than the date which is one hundred twenty (120) days and not later than the date which is thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (as determined without regard to such extension). Any such Extension Request shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrower.

(b) Payment of Extension Fee. 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 ten (10) basis points on the Total Revolving Credit Commitment in effect on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (as determined without regard to such extension), which fee shall, when paid, be fully earned and non-refundable under any circumstances.

(c) No Default. On the date the Extension Request is given and on the 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 Borrower and the Guarantors in the Loan Documents or otherwise made by Borrower and the Guarantors 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 Revolving Credit Maturity Date (as determined without regard to such extension) (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 in all material respects only as of such specified date).

§2.13 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) If for any reason any Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the Agent or Borrower under this Agreement or applicable law, but subject to the terms of §27, such Defaulting Lender’s right to participate in the administration of the Loans, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation, any right to vote in respect of, to consent to or to direct any action or inaction of the Agent or to be taken into account in the calculation of the Majority Lenders, Majority Revolving Credit Lenders, Majority Term Loan A Lenders, Majority Term Loan B Lenders, all of the Lenders or the affected Lenders, shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal. If a Lender is a Defaulting Lender because it has failed to make timely payment to the Agent of any amount required to be paid to the Agent hereunder (without giving effect to any notice or cure periods), in addition to other rights and remedies which the Agent or Borrower may have hereunder or otherwise, the Agent shall be entitled (i) to collect interest from such Defaulting Lender on such delinquent payment for the period from the date on which the payment was due until the date on

which the payment is made at the Federal Funds Effective Rate, (ii) to withhold or setoff and to apply in satisfaction of the defaulted payment and any related interest, any amounts otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with §2.13(d) and (iii) to bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest. Any amounts received by the Agent in respect of a Defaulting Lender’s Loans and/or Commitment shall be applied as set forth in §2.13(d).

(b) Any Non-Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated, in its sole discretion, to acquire all or a portion of a Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. Any Lender desiring to exercise such right shall give written notice thereof to the Agent and Borrower no sooner than two (2) Business Days and not later than five (5) Business Days after such Defaulting Lender became a Defaulting Lender. If more than one Lender exercises such right, each such Lender shall have the right to acquire its pro rata share of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment in proportion to the Commitments of the other Lenders exercising such right. If after such fifth (5^th) Business Day, the Lenders have not elected to purchase all of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, then Borrower (so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists) or the Majority Lenders may, by giving written notice thereof to the Agent, Borrower, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, demand (but shall have no obligation to so demand) that such Defaulting Lender assign its Commitment to an assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of §18.1 for the purchase price provided for below and upon any such demand such Defaulting Lender shall comply with such demand and shall consummate such assignment (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 assignee. Upon any such purchase or assignment, and any such demand with respect to which the conditions specified in §18.1 have been satisfied, the Defaulting Lender’s interest in its Commitments, Loans and rights hereunder (but not its liability in respect thereof or under the Loan Documents or this Agreement to the extent the same relate to the period prior to the effective date of the purchase) shall terminate on the date of purchase and assignment, and the Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser or assignee thereof, including an appropriate Assignment and Acceptance Agreement. The purchase price for the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender shall be equal to the amount of the principal balance of the Loans outstanding and owed by Borrower to the Defaulting Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any accrued but unpaid fees incurred prior to such Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender. Prior to payment of such purchase price to a Defaulting Lender, the Agent shall apply against such purchase price any amounts retained by the Agent pursuant to §2.13(d).

(c) During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, all or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s obligation to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to §2.10(g) or Swing Loans pursuant to §2.5(e) shall be reallocated among the Revolving Credit Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (computed without giving effect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender); provided that (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Revolving Credit Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists, (ii) the conditions set forth in §10 and §11 are satisfied at the

time of such reallocation (and, unless Borrower shall have notified the Agent at such time, Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at the time), (iii) the representations and warranties in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such reallocation with the same effect as though made on and as of such 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 (iv) the aggregate obligation of each Revolving Credit Lender that is a Non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (A) the Revolving Credit Commitment of that Non-Defaulting Lender minus (B) the sum of (1) the Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of that Lender plus (2) such Lender’s pro rata portion in accordance with its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities and participations in Outstanding Swing Loans. Subject to §34, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(d) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Agent for the account of such 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 such Defaulting Lender to the Agent (other than with respect to Letter of Credit Liabilities) hereunder; second, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender (with respect to Letter of Credit Liabilities) and/or the Swing Loan Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Agent or requested by the Issuing Lender or the Swing Loan Lender, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit or Swing Loan; fourth, as Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such 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 Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans or participations under this Agreement and (y) be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit or Swing Loan; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Agent or the Lenders (including the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender) as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Agent or any Lender (including the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender) against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (i) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Revolving Credit Loans, Bid Loans, Term Loans or funded participations in Letters of Credit

or Swing Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (ii) such Revolving Credit Loans, Bid Loans, Term Loans or funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in §10 and §11, to the extent required by this Agreement, were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Revolving Credit Loans, Bid Loans or Term Loans of, and funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis until such time as all Revolving Credit Loans, Bid Loans, Term Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans are held by the Revolving Credit Lenders, the applicable Bid Loan Lenders, and Term Loan Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages, Term Loan A Commitment Percentages and Term Loan B Commitment Percentages, as applicable, without regard to §2.13(c), prior to being applied to the payment of any Revolving Credit Loans, Bid Loans (if applicable) or Term Loans of, or funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans owed to, such 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 §2.13(d) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto, and to the extent allocated to the repayment of principal of the Loan, shall not be considered outstanding principal under this Agreement.

(e) Within five (5) Business Days of demand by the Issuing Lender or Swing Loan Lender from time to time, Borrower shall deliver to the Agent for the benefit of the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender cash collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure with respect to the Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender (after giving effect to §2.5(a), §2.10(a) and §2.13(c)) on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender and/or Swing Loan Lender in its good faith determination (and such cash collateral shall be in Dollars). Any such cash collateral shall be deposited in the Collateral Account as collateral (solely for the benefit of the Issuing Lender and/or the Swing Loan Lender) for the payment and performance of each Defaulting Lender’s pro rata portion in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages of outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swing Loans. Moneys in the Collateral Account deposited pursuant to this section shall be applied by the Agent to reimburse the Issuing Lender and/or the Swing Loan Lender immediately for each Defaulting Lender’s pro rata portion in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages of any funding obligation with respect to a Letter of Credit or Swing Loan which has not otherwise been reimbursed by Borrower or such Defaulting Lender. Any amounts deposited in the Collateral Account (or any portion thereof) shall be refunded to Borrower promptly upon any of the following (as applicable) (i) the applicable Letter of Credit in connection with which it was provided being terminated or cancelled (without any drawing thereon), (ii) all Fronting Exposure with respect to the Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender has been eliminated or (iii) as provided in §§12.1 and 12.6(d) and (f).

(f) (g) Each Revolving Credit Lender that is a Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Unused Fee or Facility Fee pursuant to §2.3 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(i) Each Revolving Credit Lender that is a Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive Letter of Credit fees pursuant to §2.10(e) for any period during which that Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(ii) With respect to any Unused Fee, Facility Fee or Letter of Credit fees not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Credit Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities or Swing Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to §2.13(c), (y) pay to the Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the Issuing Lender’s or Swing Loan Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender and (z) not be required to pay any remaining amount of any such fee.

(h) If Borrower (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists and is continuing) 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 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 at par 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 Commitments (without giving effect to §2.13(c)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and any applicable cash collateral provided by Borrower shall be promptly refunded to Borrower; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender (including any application of such payments pursuant to §2.13(d)); 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 such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

§2.14 Evidence of Debt. The indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from the Loans made by each Lender from time to time shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and the Agent in the ordinary course of business, including, without limitation, the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent and the Lenders to make, or cause to be made, at or about the time of the Drawdown Date of any Loan or at the time of receipt of any payment thereof, an appropriate notation on Agent’s and the Lender’s records reflecting the making of such Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment. The Agent shall maintain accounts or records in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record: (i) the date and the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type of Loan and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof. The accounts or records maintained by the Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the

Obligations recorded therein and shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes, if any, to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. The Borrower agrees that upon the request of any Lender made through the Agent (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise), the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Agent) a Revolving Credit Note, a Bid Loan Note, a Term Loan A Note, a Term Loan B Note and/or a Swing Loan Note, as applicable, payable to the order of such Lender, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Notes and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. All references to Notes in the Loan Documents shall mean Notes, if any, to the extent issued hereunder. By delivery of this Agreement and any Revolving Credit Note, Term Loan A Note, Term Loan B Note and/or Swing Loan Note, there shall not be deemed to have occurred, and there has not otherwise occurred, any payment, satisfaction or novation of the Indebtedness evidenced by the “Revolving Credit Notes”, the “Term Loan A Notes”, the “Term Loan B Notes” and the “Swing Loan Note” described in the Existing Credit Agreement, which Indebtedness under such Revolving Credit Notes is instead allocated among the Revolving Credit Lenders as of the date hereof in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages, which Indebtedness under the Swing Loan Note is allocated to the Swing Loan Lender, which Indebtedness under such Term Loan A Notes is instead allocated among the Term Loan A Lenders as of the date hereof in accordance with their respective Term Loan A Commitment Percentages, which Indebtedness under the Term Loan B Notes is allocated to the Term Loan B Lenders as of the date hereof in accordance with their respective Term Loan B Commitment Percentages, and such Indebtedness is evidenced by this Agreement and any Revolving Credit Notes, Term Loan A Notes, Term Loan B Notes and Swing Loan Note, as applicable. The Revolving Credit Lenders, Term Loan A Lenders and Term Loan B Lenders shall as of the date hereof make such adjustments to the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans A and Term Loans B of such Revolving Credit Lenders, Term Loan A Lenders and Term Loan B Lenders, respectively, so that such outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans A and Term Loans B are consistent with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages, Term Loan A Commitment Percentages and Term Loan A Commitment Percentages.

§3. REPAYMENT OF THE LOANS.

§3.1 Stated Maturity. Borrower promises to pay on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date all of the Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, Outstanding Swing Loans and the Letter of Credit Liabilities outstanding on such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Borrower promises to pay all Outstanding Bid Loans in full, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on the maturity date thereof as provided in the applicable Bid Loan Quote Request, but in any event not later than the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. Borrower promises to pay on the Term Loan A Maturity Date and there shall become absolutely due and payable on

the Term Loan A Maturity Date all of the Outstanding Term Loans A on such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Borrower promises to pay on the Term Loan B Maturity Date and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the Term Loan B Maturity Date all of the Outstanding Term Loans B on such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

§3.2 Mandatory Prepayments. If at any time the sum of the aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, Outstanding Swing Loans, Outstanding Bid Loans and the aggregate Letter of Credit Liabilities exceeds the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, then Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days of such occurrence pay the amount of 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, together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to §4.8, except that the amount of any Swing Loans shall be paid solely to the Swing Loan Lender and the amount of any Bid Loans shall be paid solely to the applicable Bid Loan Lender. If at any time the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Bid Loans exceeds the Bid Loan Sublimit, then Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days of such occurrence pay the amount of such excess to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Bid Loan Lenders, as applicable, for application to the Bid Loans as provided in §3.4, together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to §4.8.

§3.3 Optional Prepayments.

(a) Borrower shall have the right, at its election, to prepay the outstanding amount of the Term Loans, the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans, as a whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium, and except as provided in the applicable Bid Loan Quote Request, Bid Loans may not be voluntarily prepaid at any time without the prior written consent of the Bid Loan Lender(s) making such Bid Loans. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any prepayment of the outstanding amount of any LIBOR Rate 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) Borrower shall give the Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. (Cleveland 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 and the principal amount to be prepaid (provided that any such notice may be revoked or modified upon one (1) day’s prior notice to the Agent). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prior notice shall be required for the prepayment of any Swing Loan.

§3.4 Partial Prepayments. Each partial prepayment of the Loans under §3.3 shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 in excess thereof, shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest on the principal prepaid to the date of payment. Each partial prepayment shall, in the absence of instructions by Borrower, be applied first to Revolving Credit Loans as provided below, then to Term Loans A and then to Term Loans B. For Revolving Credit Loans, each partial payment under §3.2 and §3.3 shall be applied first to the principal of any Outstanding Swing Loans, second to any Outstanding Bid Loans and last to the principal of any Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans. Any prepayment with respect to each category

of Loans shall be applied as provided above first to the principal of Base Rate Loans, and then to the principal of LIBOR Rate Loans.

§3.5 Effect 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 the Term Loans prepaid under this Agreement may not be reborrowed.

§4. CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS.

§4.1 Conversion Options.

(a) Borrower may elect from time to time to convert any of its Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans A or Term Loans B to a Revolving Credit Loan, Term Loan A or Term Loan B, respectively, of another Type and such Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans A or Term Loans B shall thereafter bear interest as a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan, as applicable; provided that (i) with respect to any such conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, 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 LIBOR Rate Loan; (ii) with respect to any such conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan, Borrower shall give the Agent at least three (3) LIBOR Business Days’ prior written notice of such election and the Interest Period requested for such Loan, the principal amount of the Loan so converted shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $250,000.00 in excess thereof and, after giving effect to the making of such Loan, there shall be no more than ten (10) LIBOR Rate Loans (whether Revolving Credit, Term Loan or Bid Loan) outstanding at any one time; and (iii) no Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Rate Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. All or any part of the Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans A or Term Loans B of any Type may be converted as provided herein, provided that no partial conversion shall result in a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan or Term Base Rate Loan in a principal amount of less than $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 or a Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loan or Term Base Rate Loan in a principal amount of less than $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $250,000.00. On the date on which such conversion is being made, each Lender shall take such action as is necessary to transfer its Commitment Percentage of such Loans to its Domestic Lending Office or its LIBOR Lending Office, as the case may be. Each Conversion/Continuation Request relating to the conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be irrevocable by Borrower. A Bid Loan may not be continued or converted.

(b) Any LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as such Type upon the expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto by compliance by Borrower with the terms of §4.1; provided that no LIBOR Rate 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 Borrower does not notify the Agent of its election hereunder with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan, such Loan shall be automatically continued at the end of

the applicable Interest Period as a LIBOR Rate Loan for an Interest Period of one month unless such Interest Period shall be greater than the time remaining until the applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Term Loan A Maturity Date or the Term Loan B Maturity Date, in which case such Loan shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan at the end of the applicable Interest Period.

§4.2 Fees. Borrower agrees to pay to KeyBank, Agent, Syndication Agent and Arrangers 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 October 10, 2016 among Borrower, KeyBank, Syndication Agent and Arrangers (the “Agreement Regarding Fees”). Any annual agency or administration fee payable under the Agreement Regarding Fees shall be paid on the terms set forth therein. Any accrued but unpaid annual agency or administration fee payable pursuant to the “Agreement Regarding Fees” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) shall be due and payable as provided therein. All such fees shall be fully earned when paid and nonrefundable under any circumstances.

§4.3 [Intentionally Omitted.]

§4.4 Funds 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 (or such later time as is acceptable to the Agent in the event of a payment in full of all Loans and a termination of all Commitments hereunder), in each case in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds. To the extent not paid pursuant to the preceding sentence within the specified time, and only to the extent such amounts are not subject to dispute by the Borrower as evidenced by the delivery of prior written notice to the Agent, the Agent is hereby authorized to charge the accounts of 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 (including the Swing Loan Lender and any applicable Bid Loan Lender) under the Loan Documents. Subject to the foregoing, all payments made to Agent on behalf of the Lenders, and actually received by Agent, shall be deemed received by the Lenders on the date actually received by Agent.

(b) All payments by 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 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) 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) 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 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 Borrower or a Guarantor has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of 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.

(f) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower or any Guarantor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this §4.4, 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 Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by 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 Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrower or the Agent as will enable 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 Borrower is a U.S. Person:

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to 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 Borrower or the Agent), an electronic copy (or an original if requested by 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 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 Borrower or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

a. 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 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;

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

c. 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 L-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 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

d. to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by 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 L-2 or Exhibit L-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 L-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 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 Borrower or the Agent), an electronic copy (or an original if requested by 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 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 Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by 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 Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for 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 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 out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party 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 Borrower to the Issuing Lenders under this Agreement (and of the Lenders to make payments to the Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit and to the Swing Loan Lender with respect to Swing Loans) 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, any Letter of Credit or any of the other Loan Documents; (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 Borrower, the Guarantors 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, the Guarantors or any 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 the Issuing Lender to conform to the terms of a Letter of Credit (if, in the 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; provided that such other circumstances or happenings shall not have

been the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender or the Swing Loan Lender, as applicable, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods.

(k) For purposes of this §4.4, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Lender and the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.

§4.5 Computations. All computations of interest on the Loans and of other fees to the extent applicable shall be based on a 360‑day year (or a 365- or 366-day year, as applicable, in the case of Base Rate Loans) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed. Except as otherwise provided in the definition of the term “Interest Period” with respect to LIBOR Rate 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 absent manifest error.

§4.6 Suspension of LIBOR Rate Loans. In the event that, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period relating to any LIBOR Rate Loan, the Agent shall determine that adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period, or the Agent shall reasonably determine that LIBOR will not accurately and fairly reflect the cost of the Lenders making or maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith give notice of such determination (which shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower and the Lenders absent manifest error) to Borrower and Lenders. In such event (a) any Loan Request with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be automatically withdrawn and shall be deemed a request for a Base Rate Loan and (b) each LIBOR Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, become a Base Rate Loan, and the obligations of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Agent determines that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, whereupon the Agent shall so notify Borrower and the Lenders.

§4.7 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any present or future law, regulation, treaty or directive or the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over a Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans, such Lender shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances to the Agent and Borrower and thereupon (a) the commitment of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall forthwith be suspended and (b) the LIBOR Rate Loans then outstanding shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate 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 judgment of such Lender, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender or increase any costs payable by Borrower hereunder.

§4.8 Additional Interest. If any LIBOR Rate Loan (including, without limitation, any Bid Loan that has a LIBOR Margin Bid) 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 LIBOR Rate Loan, or if repayment of the Loans has been accelerated as provided in §12.1, or if Borrower fails to draw down on the first day of the applicable Interest Period any amount as to which Borrower has elected a LIBOR Rate Loan (including, without limitation, any Bid Loan that has a LIBOR Margin Bid), 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 or to the Bid Loan Lender with respect to a Bid Loan), in addition to any amounts of interest otherwise payable hereunder, the Breakage Costs. Borrower understands, agrees and acknowledges the following: (i) no Lender has any obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the use of LIBOR as a basis for calculating the rate of interest on a LIBOR Rate Loan; (ii) LIBOR is used merely as a reference in determining such rate; and (iii) Borrower has accepted LIBOR 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.

§4.9 Additional Costs, Etc. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, after the date hereof, any Applicable Law, which expression, as used herein, includes statutes, rules and regulations thereunder and interpretations thereof by any competent court or by any governmental or other regulatory body charged with the administration or the interpretation thereof and requests, directives, instructions and notices at any time or from time to time hereafter made upon or otherwise issued to any Lender or the Agent by any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall:

(a) subject any Lender or the Agent to any tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, fee, deduction or withholding of any nature with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, such Lender’s Commitment, a Letter 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) impose on any Lender or Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender on any Letter of Credit or participation therein, or

(c) impose or increase or render applicable any special deposit, 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, funding, issuing, renewing, extending or maintaining any of the Loans, the Letters of Credit 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 the Letters of Credit, or

(iii) to 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 Borrower hereunder,

then, and in each such case, Borrower will (and as to clause (a) above, subject to the provisions of §4.4), within thirty (30) 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. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this §4.9, any change applicable to the banking industry as a whole and lenders generally, and not solely to Agent or a Lender, based on: (x) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank of International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to have occurred ‘after the date hereof’ or ‘after the date of this Agreement’ for purposes of this §4.9.

§4.10 Capital Adequacy. If after the date hereof any Lender determines that (a) the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital or liquidity (including, without limitation, on account of Basel III) requirements for banks or bank holding companies or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof, or (b) compliance by such Lender or its parent bank holding company with any guideline, request or directive of any such entity regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on such Lender’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s commitment to make Loans or participate in Letters of Credit 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 or liquidity position) by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then such Lender may notify Borrower thereof. Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender the amount of such reduction in the return on capital as and when such reduction is 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. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Section §4.10, any change applicable to the banking industry as a whole and lenders generally, and not solely to Agent or a Lender, based on: (x) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith, and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall be deemed to have occurred or been adopted and gone into effect after the date hereof regardless of when adopted, enacted or issued.

Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to §4.9 or §4.10 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to §4.9 or §4.10 for any increased costs or reductions on return incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the change giving rise to such increased costs or reduction and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that if any such change giving rise to such increased costs or reduction is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. Neither the Agent nor a Lender, as the case may be, shall be entitled to submit a claim for compensation under §4.9 or §4.10 unless such Person shall deliver to Borrower a certificate that such Person has determined that the making of such claim is consistent with its general practices or policies in respect of similarly situated borrowers that are equity REITs with credit agreements entitling it to make such claims (it being agreed that such certification from Agent or any Lender shall be sufficient to make such a claim, and that neither the Agent nor a Lender shall be required to disclose any confidential or proprietary information in connection with such determination or the making of such claim).

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

§4.12 Default Interest. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under §12.1(a), (b), (h), (i) or (j) or upon the vote of the Majority Lenders following the occurrence of any other 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 two percent (2.0%) above the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for such Loan (the “Default Rate”), 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 two percent (2.0%) above the Applicable Margin for a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan, or if any of such amounts shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by law, then at the maximum rate permitted by law.

§4.13 Certificate. 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 Borrower, shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

§4.14 Limitation on Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, all agreements between or among Borrower, Guarantors, Lenders and 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 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 Borrower, Guarantors, Lenders and Agent.

§4.15 Certain Provisions Relating to Increased Costs; Replacement of 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 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 request of 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; Borrower agreeing to pay all reasonably incurred 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 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”), then, within thirty (30) days after such notice or request for payment or compensation, as applicable, Borrower shall have the one-time right as to such Affected Lender to be exercised by delivery of written notice delivered to the Agent and the Affected Lender within sixty (60) days of receipt of such notice, to elect to cause the Affected Lender to transfer its Commitment, provided that the Borrower shall pay to the Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in §18.2, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter,

and such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law. 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 the Commitment, pro rata based upon their relevant Commitment Percentages, of the Affected Lender (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 Commitment, then the Agent, in consultation with Borrower, shall endeavor to obtain a new Lender to acquire such remaining Commitment. Upon any such purchase of the Commitment of the Affected Lender, the Affected 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 shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest. The purchase price for the Affected Lender’s Commitment shall equal any and all amounts outstanding and owed by Borrower to the Affected Lender, including principal, prepayment premium or fee, and all accrued and unpaid interest or fees.

§5. UNSECURED OBLIGATIONS; GUARANTY.

§5.1 Collateral. The Lenders have agreed to make the Loans to Borrower and issue Letters of Credit to the account of Borrower on an unsecured basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Obligations shall be guaranteed pursuant to the term of the Guaranty, subject to the terms of §5.2(c).

§5.2 Additional Subsidiary Guarantors.

(a) In the event that Borrower shall request that certain Real Estate of a Subsidiary of Borrower (including a Controlled Joint Venture) be included as an Unencumbered Property for purposes of calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value, Borrower shall as a condition thereto, in addition to the requirements of §7.22, cause each such Subsidiary (including a Controlled Joint Venture) not already constituting a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder (and any other Subsidiary of Borrower having an ownership interest in such Subsidiary of Borrower) to execute and deliver to Agent a Joinder Agreement, and such Subsidiary (and any such other Subsidiary having an ownership interest in such Subsidiary) shall thereby become a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. In addition, in the event any Subsidiary of the REIT shall constitute a Material Subsidiary within the meaning of clause (b) of the definition thereof, the Borrower shall cause such Subsidiary, as a condition to such Subsidiary’s becoming a guarantor or other obligor with respect to such other Unsecured Indebtedness described therein (unless such Indebtedness was incurred prior to such Subsidiary becoming a Subsidiary Guarantor and not in contemplation of such Subsidiary becoming a Subsidiary Guarantor, in which case such Subsidiary shall promptly execute and deliver to Agent a Joinder Agreement), cause each such Subsidiary to execute and deliver to Agent a Joinder Agreement, and such Subsidiary shall thereby become a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. In addition, in the event any Subsidiary of the Borrower shall constitute a Material Subsidiary pursuant to clause (c) of the definition thereof, Borrower shall cause such Subsidiary, within thirty (30) days (or such later date as agreed to by Agent) of such Subsidiary becoming a Material Subsidiary pursuant to clause (c) of the definition thereof, to execute and deliver to Agent a Joinder Agreement, and such Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. Each such Subsidiary shall be specifically authorized, in accordance with its respective organizational documents and applicable

law, to be a Guarantor hereunder. Without limiting the terms of this agreement, Borrower shall cause all representations in the Loan Documents that apply to the Guarantors to be true and correct in all material respects, with respect to such new Subsidiary Guarantor, at the time each such Subsidiary becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor (unless such representations apply to any earlier date). Without limiting the terms of this Agreement, Borrower shall cause all covenants in the Loan Documents that apply to the Guarantors to be true and correct, with respect to such new Subsidiary Guarantor, at the time each such Subsidiary becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor. In connection with the delivery of any 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. Each Subsidiary of Borrower (including any Controlled Joint Venture) that owns or leases Real Estate included as an Unencumbered Property (and each other Subsidiary of Borrower having an interest in such Subsidiary of Borrower) shall be organized under the laws of a State and shall have its principal place of business in a State, consistent with the requirements of §7.2.

(b) The Borrower may request in writing that the Agent release, and the Agent shall release (subject to the terms hereof), a Subsidiary Guarantor from the Guaranty so long as: (i) no Default or Event of Default shall then be in existence or would occur as a result of such release; (ii) the Agent shall have received such written request at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period to which Agent may agree) prior to the requested date of release together with an updated Compliance Certificate which gives effect to such proposed release; and (iii) Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a certificate pursuant to which an Authorized Officer of Borrower certifies (together with such other evidence as Agent may reasonably request to confirm) that either (A) the Borrower has disposed of or simultaneously with such release will dispose of its entire interest in such Subsidiary Guarantor, all of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be liquidated and transferred to Borrower or another Subsidiary Guarantor, or that all of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor have been or simultaneously with such release will be contributed to an Unconsolidated Affiliate or disposed of in compliance with the terms of this Agreement to a Person other than REIT or any of its Subsidiaries, and the net cash proceeds from such disposition are being distributed directly or indirectly to the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor in connection with such disposition; or (B) if such Subsidiary Guarantor previously directly or indirectly owned an asset included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value, all such assets have been removed from the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value in accordance with the terms of the Agreement (and such Subsidiary Guarantor is not otherwise required by the terms of this Agreement to be a Guarantor); or (C) such Subsidiary Guarantor (i) does not directly or indirectly own an asset included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value and will not, upon giving effect to such requested release, be a guarantor of or otherwise liable with respect to any other Unsecured Indebtedness of the REIT, Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries of the type described in clause (b) of the definition of Material Subsidiary which would require it to be a Guarantor and (ii) would not be required to be a Guarantor pursuant to clause (c) of the definition of Material Subsidiary upon giving effect to such requested release. Delivery by the Borrower to the Agent of any such request for a release shall constitute a representation by the Borrower that the matters set forth in the preceding sentence (both as of the date of the giving of such request and as of the date of the effectiveness of such request) are true and correct with respect to such request. Upon the request of Borrower, Agent shall reasonably cooperate with Borrower to confirm to Borrower in writing as to whether such

Subsidiary Guarantor has been fully released from its Guaranty, has no further liability with respect thereto and is no longer a party to the Guaranty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the foregoing release provisions shall not apply to the REIT or General Partner, which may only be released upon the written approval of Agent and all of the Lenders.

(c) Notwithstanding the terms of §5.2(a) and (b), from and after any date that Agent first receives written notice from Borrower that Borrower has first obtained an Investment Grade Rating, then (i) subject to the terms of this §5.2(c), all Material Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a direct or indirect owner of an Unencumbered Property) shall no longer be required to be Guarantors under the Credit Agreement, and (ii) Agent shall promptly release the Material Subsidiaries from the Guaranty; provided however that notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) Agent shall not be obligated to release any Material Subsidiary from the Guaranty in the event that a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (B) no Material Subsidiary shall be released in the event that such Material Subsidiary constitutes a Material Subsidiary within the meaning of clause (b) of the definition thereof. In the event that at any time after Borrower has an Investment Grade Rating, Borrower shall no longer have an Investment Grade Rating, Borrower and REIT shall within thirty (30) days (or such later date as agreed to by Agent) after such occurrence cause all Material Subsidiaries to execute a Joinder Agreement and shall further cause to be satisfied within such thirty (30) day period (or such longer period as agreed to by Agent) all of the provisions of §5.2(a) that would be applicable to the addition of a new Guarantor. In no event shall the provisions of this §5.2(c) entitle REIT or General Partner to be released from the Guaranty. For the avoidance of doubt, if at any time during which the Borrower has an Investment Grade Rating the provisions of clause (b) of the definition of Material Subsidiary shall be applicable to a Subsidiary of Borrower, the Borrower shall be required to cause such Subsidiary to become a Guarantor by executing a Joinder Agreement and comply with the provisions of §5.2(a) as a condition to such Subsidiary’s becoming a guarantor or other obligor with respect to such other Unsecured Indebtedness regardless of whether Borrower has obtained an Investment Grade Rating.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the entities described in clause (a) of the definition of Material Subsidiary are not required to be a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to §5.2(c), the Unencumbered Properties owned by such Persons shall still be considered Unencumbered Properties for the purposes of this Agreement (and considered in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value and Unencumbered Property Debt Yield); provided that the representations and warranties in this Agreement with respect to Unencumbered Property Subsidiaries continue to be true and correct in all material respects, and the Borrower and such Unencumbered Property Subsidiaries continue to comply with the provisions and covenants applicable to Unencumbered Property Subsidiaries (or such provisions and covenants shall be applicable to such Persons and shall be complied with, as applicable).

Each of the Unencumbered Properties included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value, and the use and operation thereof, is in material compliance with all applicable federal, state, provincial and other applicable 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 and tidelands.

There are no unpaid or outstanding real estate or other taxes or assessments on or against any other property of Borrower, Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries which are payable by any of such Persons in any material amount (except only real estate or other taxes or assessments, that are not yet delinquent or are being protested as permitted by this Agreement). There are no pending, or to the knowledge of Borrower threatened or contemplated, eminent domain, expropriation or similar proceedings against any of the Unencumbered Properties included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value, the effect of which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the access to, marketability, leases, use or operation of such Unencumbered Property. There are no pending, or to the knowledge of Borrower threatened or contemplated, aboriginal right or aboriginal title claims with respect to any of the Unencumbered Properties included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value.

§6.24 Brokers. None of Borrower, Guarantors nor any of their respective Subsidiaries has engaged or otherwise dealt with any broker, finder or similar entity in connection with this Agreement or the Loans contemplated hereunder.

Schedule 6.25 hereto sets forth all agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust, financing agreements or other material agreements binding upon Borrower, Guarantors or their respective properties and entered into by Borrower or Guarantors as of the date of this Agreement with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness of Borrower or Guarantors in an amount greater than $2,500,000.00, and, to the extent requested by the Agent, Borrower has provided the Agent with true, correct and complete copies thereof.

§6.29 Transaction in Best Interests of Borrower and Guarantors; Consideration. The transaction evidenced by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents is in the best interests of Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries. The direct and indirect benefits to inure to Borrower, Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries 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 Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries to the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and but for the willingness of each Subsidiary Guarantor from time to time party to the Guaranty to be a guarantor of the Loan, Borrower would be unable to obtain the financing contemplated hereunder which

financing will enable Borrower and its Subsidiaries to have available financing to conduct their business. Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors constitute a single integrated and common enterprise and that each receives a benefit from the availability of credit under this Agreement.

The Borrower and the Guarantors authorize Agent and Arrangers to disseminate to the Lenders any materials delivered pursuant to the Loan Documents, including without limitation the Information Materials, through the use of Intralinks, SyndTrak or any other reputable electronic information dissemination system, and the Borrower and the Guarantors release Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders from any liability in connection therewith, provided that no information designated by the Borrower as Private Information may be distributed in a publically accessible format or to any Public Lenders (provided further neither Agent, any Arranger nor any Lender shall have any liability with respect to any distribution of Public Information in a publicly accessible format or to any Public Lenders unless the same is the result of such Person’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment) and all confidential information shall be treated as provided in §18.7. Certain of the Lenders (each, a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or its Affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market related activities with respect to such Persons’ securities. The Borrower hereby agrees that, upon Agent’s reasonable request, it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Information Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (i) all such Information Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (ii) by marking Information Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers to treat such Information Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower, its Subsidiaries, its Affiliates or their respective securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Information Materials constitute confidential information, they shall be treated as provided in §18.7); (iii) all Information Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of any reputable electronic dissemination system designated “Public Investor” or a similar designation; and (iv) the Agent and the Arrangers shall treat any Information Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of any reputable electronic dissemination system not designated “Public Investor” or a similar designation.

§7.5 Notices.

(a) Defaults. Borrower will promptly upon becoming aware of same notify the Agent in writing of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, which notice shall describe such occurrence with reasonable specificity and shall state that such notice is a “notice of default”. If any Person shall give any notice or take any other action in respect of a claimed default (whether or not constituting an Event of Default) under this Agreement or under any note, evidence of indebtedness, indenture or other obligation to which or with respect to which Borrower, the

Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries is a party or obligor, whether as principal or surety, and such default would permit the holder of such note or obligation or other evidence of indebtedness to accelerate the maturity thereof or cause the redemption, prepayment or purchase thereof, which acceleration, redemption, prepayment or purchase would either cause a Default under §12.1(g) or have a Material Adverse Effect, promptly upon becoming aware of the same Borrower shall forthwith give written notice thereof to the Agent, describing the notice or action and the nature of the claimed default.

(b) Environmental Events. Borrower will give notice to the Agent within five (5) Business Days of becoming aware of (i) any potential or known Release, or threat of Release, of any Hazardous Substances in violation of any applicable Environmental Law; (ii) any violation of any Environmental Law that Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries reports in writing or is reportable by such Person in writing (or for which any written report supplemental to any oral report is made) to any foreign, federal, state, provincial, local or other applicable environmental agency or (iii) any inquiry, proceeding, investigation, or other action, including a notice from any agency of potential environmental liability, of any foreign, federal, state, provincial, local or other applicable environmental agency or board, that in any case involves (A) any Unencumbered Property included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value, or (B) any other Real Estate and could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Notice of Litigation and Judgments. Borrower will give notice to the Agent in writing within five (5) Business Days of becoming aware of any litigation or proceedings threatened in writing affecting Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries or to which Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries, to its knowledge, is or is to become a party involving an uninsured claim against Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to either cause a Default or have a Material Adverse Effect and stating the nature and status of such litigation or proceedings. Borrower will give notice to the Agent, in writing, in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, within ten (10) days of any judgment not covered by insurance, whether final or otherwise, against Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries in an amount in excess of $10,000,000.00.

(d) Notice of Sales, Encumbrances, Refinance or Transfer of Non‑Unencumbered Property.

The Compliance Certificate shall with respect to any completed sale, encumbrance, refinance or transfer be adjusted in the best good faith estimate of Borrower to give effect to such sale, encumbrance, refinance or transfer and demonstrate that no Default or Event of Default with respect to the covenants referred to therein shall exist after giving effect to such sale, encumbrance, refinance or transfer.

(e) ERISA. Borrower will give notice to the Agent within ten (10) Business Days after Borrower, Guarantors or any ERISA Affiliate (i) gives or is required to give notice to the PBGC of any “reportable event” (as defined in §4043 of ERISA) with respect to any Guaranteed Pension Plan, or knows that the plan administrator of any such plan has given or is required to give notice of any such reportable event; (ii) receives notice of complete or partial withdrawal liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to a Multiemployer Plan; or (iii) receives any notice from the PBGC under Title IV of ERISA of an intent to terminate or appoint a trustee to administer any Guaranteed Pension Plan or Multiemployer Plan.

§7.6 Existence; Maintenance of Properties.

(a) Borrower will and will cause each of the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries to preserve and keep in full force and effect their legal existence in the jurisdictions of their incorporation or formation except when (i) the Borrower or the Guarantors determine that such Subsidiaries are no longer necessary for the conduct of their business, (ii) such Subsidiaries are not the Borrower, a Guarantor or an Unencumbered Property Subsidiary hereunder and (iii) no Default, Event of Default or Material Adverse Effect results therefrom. Borrower will preserve and keep in full force all of its rights and franchises and those of the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries, the preservation of which is necessary to the conduct of their business. Borrower shall cause REIT to at all times comply with all requirements and applicable laws and regulations necessary to maintain REIT Status and continue to receive REIT Status. Borrower shall cause the common stock of REIT to at all times be listed for trading and be traded on the New York Stock Exchange or another national exchange approved by Agent, unless otherwise consented to by the Majority Lenders. Except for dispositions of Subsidiaries otherwise permitted under §8.8, Borrower shall continue to own directly or indirectly one hundred percent (100%) of the Subsidiary Guarantors and Unencumbered Property Subsidiaries (other than those that are Controlled Joint Ventures). Borrower shall continue to have directly or indirectly not less than the economic ownership and the management and control rights specified in the definition of Controlled Joint Venture with respect to each Controlled Joint Venture that is a Subsidiary Guarantor or Unencumbered Property Subsidiary.

100

(b) Each of Borrower and Guarantors (i) will cause all of their properties and those of their Subsidiaries used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of its Subsidiaries to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order (ordinary wear and tear and casualty and condemnation events excepted) and supplied with all necessary equipment, and (ii) will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof in the cases of both (i) and (ii) in which the failure so to do would have a material adverse effect on the condition of any Unencumbered Property included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value or would cause a Material Adverse Effect.

§7.7 Insurance. Borrower, Guarantors and their respective Material Subsidiaries (as applicable) will, at their expense, procure and maintain insurance covering Borrower, Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries (as applicable) and their respective properties in such amounts and against such risks and casualties as are customary for companies of similar size engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations.

§7.8 Taxes; Liens. Borrower will, and will cause the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries to, duly pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, all taxes, assessments and other governmental charges imposed upon them or upon the Unencumbered Properties or the other Real Estate, sales and activities, or any part thereof, or upon the income or profits therefrom as well as all claims for labor, materials or supplies that if unpaid might by law become a lien or charge upon any of its property or other Liens affecting property of Borrower, the Guarantors or their respective Subsidiaries, provided that any such tax, assessment, charge or levy or claim need not be paid which are in the aggregate less than $500,000.00 or if the validity or amount thereof shall currently be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings which shall suspend the collection thereof with respect to such property (or, solely in respect of claims for labor, materials or supplies, if such claims are not yet overdue by more than 60 days but in any event prior to the commencement of any foreclosure or other enforcement action with respect thereto), provided that neither such property nor any portion thereof or interest therein would be in any danger of sale, forfeiture or loss by reason of such proceeding, and Borrower, such Guarantor or any such Subsidiary shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP; and provided, further, that forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings to foreclose any lien that may have attached as security therefor, Borrower, such Guarantor or any such Subsidiary either (i) will provide a bond issued by a surety reasonably acceptable to the Agent and sufficient to stay all such proceedings or (ii) if no such bond is provided, will pay each such tax, assessment, charge or levy.

§7.9 Inspection of Properties and Books. Borrower will, and will cause the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries to, permit the Agent and the Lenders, at Borrower’s expense and upon reasonable prior notice, to visit and inspect any of the properties of Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries (subject to the rights of tenants under their leases), to examine the books of account of Borrower, Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries (and to make copies thereof and extracts therefrom) and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of Borrower, Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries with, and to be advised as to the same by, their respective officers, partners or members, all at such reasonable times and intervals as the Agent or any Lender may reasonably request, provided that so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred

101

and be continuing, Borrower shall not be required to pay for more than one such visit and inspection in any twelve (12) month period. The Lenders shall use good faith efforts to coordinate such visits and inspections so as to minimize the interference with and disruption to the normal business operations of Borrower, Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries.

§7.10 Compliance with Laws, Contracts, Licenses, and Permits. Borrower will, and will cause each of the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries to, comply in all respects with (i) all applicable laws and regulations now or hereafter in effect wherever its business is conducted, including all Environmental Laws, (ii) the provisions of its corporate charter, partnership agreement, limited liability company agreement or declaration of trust, as the case may be, and other charter documents and bylaws, (iii) all agreements and instruments to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties may be bound, (iv) all applicable decrees, orders, and judgments, and (v) all licenses and permits required by applicable laws and regulations for the conduct of its business or the ownership, use or operation of its properties, except where a failure to so comply with any of clauses (i) through (v) would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. If any material authorization, consent, approval, permit or license from any officer, agency or instrumentality of any government shall become necessary or required in order that Borrower, Guarantors or their respective Subsidiaries may fulfill any of its obligations hereunder, Borrower, such Guarantor or such Subsidiary will promptly take or cause to be taken all reasonable steps necessary to obtain such authorization, consent, approval, permit or license and furnish the Agent and the Lenders with evidence thereof. Borrower shall develop and implement such programs, policies and procedures as are necessary to comply with the Patriot Act and shall promptly advise Agent in writing in the event that Borrower shall determine that any investors in Borrower are in violation of such act.

§7.11 Further Assurances. Borrower will, and will cause each of the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries to, cooperate with the Agent and the Lenders and execute such further instruments and documents as the Lenders or the Agent shall reasonably request to carry out to their reasonable satisfaction the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

§7.13 [Intentionally Omitted.]

(b) In the event that all or any material portion of any Eligible Real Estate included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value shall be materially damaged or taken by condemnation, then Borrower shall promptly notify the Agent thereof and such Real Estate may, at the reasonable determination of Agent, no longer be included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value unless and until (i) any damage to such Real Estate is repaired or restored, such Real Estate becomes operational (if such Real Estate was a Stabilized Property), and the Agent shall receive evidence satisfactory to the Agent of the value of such Real Estate following such repair or restoration (both at such time and prospectively), or (ii) Agent shall receive evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Agent that the value of such Real Estate, both at such time and prospectively (after giving consideration to such factors as Agent shall reasonably consider, including, limitation, the availability of insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, and the impact of such casualty or condemnation upon continued occupancy by tenants under their leases) shall not be materially adversely affected (in Agent’s good faith determination) by such damage or condemnation, provided that in the event of a material adverse effect on the value (in Agent’s good faith determination) where some but not all of the leases relating to such Eligible Real Estate may remain in effect after such casualty or condemnation, such Real Estate shall continue to be included in the Unencumbered Asset Value subject to Agent having reasonably approved an adjusted valuation of such Eligible Real Estate following receipt from Borrower of a proposed reduced valuation for such Eligible Real Estate (taking into account the reduced leasing of such Eligible Real Estate) together with such other information as Agent may reasonably request in order for Agent to evaluate and approve such proposed valuation for such Eligible Real Estate.

(c) Upon any asset ceasing to qualify to be included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value, such asset shall no longer be included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value. Within five (5) Business Days after any such disqualification, Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a certificate reflecting such disqualification, together with the identity of the disqualified asset, a statement as to whether any Default or Event of Default arises as a result of such disqualification, and a calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value attributable to such asset.

106

together with a statement that no Default or Event of Default then exists or would, upon the occurrence of such event or with passage of time, result from such removal, and the identity of the Unencumbered Property being removed, and a calculation of the value attributable to such Unencumbered Property. Simultaneously with the delivery of the items required pursuant above, Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a pro forma Compliance Certificate demonstrating, after giving effect to such removal or disqualification, compliance with the covenants contained in §7.22 and §9.1.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any Real Estate does not qualify as Eligible Real Estate or satisfy the requirements of §7.22(a), such Real Estate shall be included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value so long as (x) the Agent shall have received the prior written consent of each of the Majority Lenders to the inclusion of such Real Estate in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value and (y) at no time after it is included does such Real Estate fail to satisfy any requirements of the Majority Lenders imposed as a condition to such approval, and any requirements of the definition of Eligible Real Estate or of §7.22(a) in addition to those it failed to satisfy at the time such consent of the Majority Lenders was provided for such inclusion.

§7.23 Sanctions Laws and Regulations. The Borrower shall not, directly or indirectly, use the proceeds of the Loans or any Letter of Credit or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any Guarantor, Subsidiary, Unconsolidated Affiliate or other Person (i) to fund any activities or business of or with any Designated Person, or in any country or territory, that at the time of such funding is itself the subject of territorial sanctions under applicable Sanctions Laws and Regulations, (ii) in any manner that would result in a violation of applicable Sanctions Laws and Regulations by any party to this Agreement, or (iii) in any manner that would cause the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries to violate the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. None of the funds or assets of the Borrower or Guarantors that are used to pay any amount due pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute funds obtained from transactions with or relating to Designated Persons or countries which are themselves the subject of territorial sanctions under applicable Sanctions Laws and Regulations. Borrower shall maintain policies and procedures designed to achieve compliance with Sanctions Laws and Regulations.

113

Unencumbered Asset Value where any such use, generation, conduct or other activity has not had and would not reasonably be expected, when taken with other matters covered by §6.20 and this §8.6, to result in liability, clean-up, remediation, containment, correction or other costs to Borrower, any Guarantor or any Unencumbered Property Subsidiary individually or in the aggregate with other Unencumbered Properties in excess of $10,000,000.00 or materially adversely affect the operation of or ability to use such property; provided, that in the case of this clause (ii) such estimated liability or other costs shall be promptly reported to the Agent and deducted in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value, and Borrower shall diligently and continuously pursue corrective, remedial and other actions to bring such Unencumbered Property or Properties into compliance with Environmental Laws and to eliminate such liability.

Borrower shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to:

(i) in the event of any change in Environmental Laws governing the assessment, release or removal of Hazardous Substances, take all reasonable action (including, without limitation, the conducting of engineering tests at the sole expense of Borrower) to confirm that no Hazardous Substances are or ever were Released or disposed of on the Unencumbered Properties included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value in violation of applicable Environmental Laws; and

(ii) if any Release or disposal of Hazardous Substances which any Person may be legally obligated to contain, correct or otherwise remediate or which may otherwise expose it to liability shall occur or shall have occurred on any Unencumbered Property included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value (including without limitation any such Release or disposal occurring prior to the acquisition or leasing of such Unencumbered Property by Borrower or any such Subsidiary), Borrower shall, after obtaining knowledge thereof, cause the prompt containment and removal of such Hazardous Substances and remediation of such Unencumbered Property to the extent required by and in full compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws; provided, that each of Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be in compliance with Environmental Laws for the purpose of this clause (ii) so long as it or a responsible third party with sufficient financial resources is taking reasonable action to remediate or manage any event of noncompliance to the satisfaction of the Agent and no action shall have been commenced by any enforcement agency. The Agent may engage its own environmental consultant to review the environmental assessments and the compliance with the covenants contained herein.

At any time while an Event of Default exists hereunder the Agent may at its election (and will at the request of the Majority Lenders) obtain such environmental assessments of any or all of the Unencumbered Properties included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value prepared by an environmental consultant as may be necessary or advisable for the purpose of evaluating or confirming (i) whether any Hazardous Substances are present in the soil or water at or adjacent to any such Unencumbered Property and (ii) whether the use and operation of any such Unencumbered Property complies with all Environmental Laws to the extent required by the Loan Documents. Additionally, at any time that the Agent or the Majority Lenders shall have reasonable and objective grounds to believe that a Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Substances which any Person may be legally obligated to contain, correct or otherwise remediate or which otherwise may expose

114

such Person to liability may have occurred, relating to any Unencumbered Property included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value, or that any of the Unencumbered Property included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value is not in compliance with Environmental Laws to the extent required by the Loan Documents, Borrower shall promptly upon the request of Agent obtain and deliver to Agent such environmental assessments of such Unencumbered Property prepared by an environmental consultant reasonably acceptable to the Agent as may be necessary or advisable for the purpose of evaluating or confirming (i) whether any Hazardous Substances are present in the soil or water at or adjacent to such Unencumbered Property and (ii) whether the use and operation of such Unencumbered Property comply with all Environmental Laws to the extent required by the Loan Documents. Environmental assessments may include detailed visual inspections of such Unencumbered Property including, without limitation, any and all storage areas, storage tanks, drains, dry xxxxx and leaching areas, and the taking of soil samples, as well as such other investigations or analyses as are reasonably necessary or appropriate for a complete determination of the compliance of such Unencumbered Property and the use and operation thereof with all applicable Environmental Laws. All environmental assessments contemplated by this §8.6 shall be at the sole cost and expense of Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall not be considered a breach of this §8.6 if permission from a third-party (including, without limitation, any owners or landlords) is required to conduct an environmental assessment and, after reasonable attempts, Borrower is unable to obtain such permission for whatever reason and therefore does not perform the requested environmental assessment.

§8.7 Distributions.

(a) Borrower shall not pay any Distribution to the partners, members or other owners of Borrower, and General Partner and REIT shall not pay any Distribution to their respective partners, members or other owners, if such Distribution is in excess of the amount which, when added to the amount of all other Distributions paid in the same fiscal quarter and the preceding three (3) fiscal quarters, would exceed ninety-five percent (95%) of Funds from Operations for such period (the “FFO Basket”); provided that the foregoing limitation in this §8.7(a) shall not apply to Distributions that are Preferred Distributions; and provided further that the limitations contained in this §8.7(a) shall not (i) preclude Borrower, the REIT or the General Partner from making the minimum amount of Distributions that, when made in accordance with its organizational documents (e.g., pro rata to all of its partners, members or other owners, if so required), are required (A) to enable REIT to maintain its REIT Status, as evidenced by a certification of the principal financial or accounting officer of Borrower containing calculations in detail reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Agent, (B) to enable REIT to avoid the imposition of any taxes imposed under Code Section 857(b)(1) or 4981 of the Code, and (C) to enable REIT to avoid the imposition of taxes imposed under Section 857(b)(3) of the Code, provided that no Distribution under this clause (C) may be paid if a Default exists or would arise as a result of such Distribution, (ii) limit the ability of (A) Borrower or the REIT to retain, acquire, relinquish or sell Equity Interests awarded to officers and employees of Borrower, CyrusOne LLC or the REIT pursuant to equity compensation programs in the ordinary course of business in order to pay applicable withholding tax obligations of such employee, or (B) Borrower to distribute funds to the REIT for the purpose of covering administration and operating expense of the REIT in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000.00 per calendar year; (iii) preclude redemptions of equity interests in Borrower or REIT from proceeds of an Equity

115

Offering provided that the proceeds of such Equity Offering are used within ninety (90) days of such issuance and sale for such purpose, (iv) preclude Borrower, the REIT or the General Partner from making cash payments in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares representing insignificant interests in the REIT in connection with the exercise of warrants, options or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Equity Interests in the REIT, or Borrower from making Distributions to the REIT in order to enable the REIT to make such cash payments, (v) preclude the REIT or Borrower from making Distributions, pursuant to and in accordance with stock option plans or other benefit plans or agreements for directors, officers or employees of the REIT, Borrower and their respective Subsidiaries, in an aggregate amount not in excess of $5,000,000 in any fiscal year or the Borrower from making Distributions to the REIT in order to enable the REIT to make such Distributions; provided that any amount not so used in any given fiscal year may be carried forward and used in the next succeeding fiscal year, (vi) preclude the REIT or Borrower from repurchasing Equity Interests upon the exercise of stock options or warrants if such Equity Interests represent a portion of the exercise price of such options or warrants as part of a “cashless” exercise, or (vii) (A) preclude Borrower from paying Distributions to the REIT which are promptly used by the REIT to redeem or repurchase Equity Interests of the REIT or Borrower or (B) preclude Borrower from making Distributions which are promptly used by Borrower to redeem or repurchase partnership common units of Borrower, provided that the aggregate amount of Distributions made in reliance on this clause (vii)(A) and (B) shall not exceed $60,000,000 in any calendar year, or (viii) preclude the cashless exchange of Equity Interests in Borrower for Equity Interests in REIT. For the avoidance of doubt, any Distributions made pursuant to clauses (i) – (viii) of the preceding sentence shall not be included in any calculation to determine Borrower’s, the General Partner’s or the REIT’s compliance with the limitation on Distributions calculated by reference to the FFO Basket. For the purposes of this §8.7(a), (i) the REIT and the General Partner may each make Distributions in respect of any Distributions received from Borrower, provided such Distributions were, at the time made, permitted by this §8.7(a) to be made by Borrower to the REIT or the General Partner, and (ii) Borrower may make any Distributions to the REIT as are necessary in order to enable the REIT to make any Distributions that are permitted by §8.7(a) to be made by the REIT.

(b) In the event that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (i) Borrower, REIT and General Partner shall not pay any Distribution to its partners, members or other owners, other than (A) the minimum amount of Distributions (when made in accordance with the applicable organizational documents (e.g., pro rata to all of its partners, members or other owners, if so required)) required to enable the REIT to maintain its REIT Status, as evidenced by a certification of the principal financial or accounting officer of Borrower containing calculations in detail reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Agent and (B) cashless exchanges of Equity Interests in Borrower for Equity Interests in the REIT.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time when an Event of Default under §12.1(a), (b), (h), (i) or (j) shall have occurred and be continuing or the maturity of the Obligations has been accelerated, Borrower shall not, and shall not permit REIT or General Partner to, make any Distributions whatsoever, directly or indirectly, other than cashless exchanges of Equity Interests in Borrower for Equity Interests in the REIT.

116

§8.8 Asset Sales. Borrower will not, and will not permit the Guarantors or their respective Subsidiaries to, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any material asset to a Person that is not a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Borrower other than pursuant to a bona fide arm’s length transaction or, with respect to transactions subject to §8.13, as permitted by §8.13; provided that Borrower, Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets subject to any condemnation proceeding (including in lieu thereof). Without limiting the foregoing, neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary thereof shall sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Real Estate in one transaction or a series of transactions unless no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such transaction (including, without limitation, pro forma compliance with the covenants in §7.22, §8.1, §8.3, §8.7, and §§9.1 through 9.4 after giving effect thereto).

(k) there shall remain in force, undischarged, unsatisfied and unstayed, for more than thirty (30) days, whether or not consecutive, one or more uninsured or unbonded final judgments against Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries that, exceed $50,000,000.00 per occurrence or in the aggregate in any calendar year;

(n) with respect to any Guaranteed Pension Plan, an ERISA Reportable Event shall have occurred and the Majority Lenders shall have determined in their reasonable discretion that such event reasonably could be expected to result in liability of any of Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries to the PBGC or such Guaranteed Pension Plan in an aggregate amount exceeding $10,000,000.00 and either (w) such event in the circumstances occurring reasonably could constitute grounds for 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 (x) a trustee shall have been appointed by the United States District Court to administer such Plan; or (y) the PBGC shall have instituted proceedings to terminate

(p) any Guarantor denies that it has any liability or obligations under the Guaranty or any other Loan Document, or shall notify the Agent or any of the Lenders of such Guarantor’s intention to attempt to cancel or terminate the Guaranty or cancel any other Loan Document, or shall fail to observe or comply with any term, covenant, condition or agreement under the Guaranty or any other Loan Document;

(q) any Change of Control shall occur; or

(r) an Event of Default under any of the other Loan Documents shall occur;

then, and in any such event, the Agent may, and upon the request of the Majority Lenders shall, by notice in writing to Borrower declare all amounts owing with respect to this Agreement, the Notes, the Letters of Credit 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 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. Upon demand by Agent or the Majority Revolving Credit Lenders in their absolute and sole discretion after the occurrence 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 Revolving Credit Loans. In the alternative, if demanded by Agent in its absolute and sole discretion after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower will deposit in the Collateral Account and pledge to Agent cash in an amount equal to the amount of all undrawn Letters of Credit. 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. Upon any draws under Letters of Credit, at Agent’s sole discretion, Agent may apply any such amounts 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 Borrower will be released to Borrower. For the purposes of this §12.1, a Material Subsidiary shall be determined without reference to whether such Subsidiary is an Excluded Subsidiary.

124

§12.2 Certain Cure Periods; Limitation of Cure Periods. Notwithstanding anything contained in §12.1 to the contrary, (i) no Event of Default shall exist hereunder upon the occurrence of any failure described in §12.1(b) with respect to the payment of interest or other fees on the Loans in the event that Borrower cures such Default within five (5) Business Days after the date such payment is due, provided that no such cure period shall apply to any payments due upon the maturity of the Notes, (ii) no Event of Default shall exist hereunder upon the occurrence of any failure to comply with §7.4(c), §7.19 or §7.22 in the event that Borrower cures such Default within five (5) Business Days following occurrence of such failure; and (iii) no Event of Default shall exist hereunder upon the occurrence of any failure described in §12.1(e) in the event that Borrower cures such Default within thirty (30) days following receipt of written notice of such default from Agent, provided that the provisions of this clause (iii) shall not pertain to any default consisting of a failure to comply with §8.1, §8.2, §8.3, §8.4, §8.7, §8.8 or §8.14.

In the event that there shall occur any Default or Event of Default that affects only certain Unencumbered Property included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value, then 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 Unencumbered Property from the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value and by reducing the Outstanding Loans by the amount necessary so that no Event of Default exists under §9.1 or §9.2, in which event such removal and reduction shall be completed within five (5) Business Days after the earlier of (i) Borrower obtaining knowledge of such Default and (ii) receipt of notice of such Default from the Agent or the Majority Lenders.

§12.3 Termination 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 Letters of Credit to Borrower. If any other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent may, and upon the election of the Majority Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to Revolving Credit Loans and Bid Loans, shall, by notice to Borrower terminate the obligation to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit, as applicable, to Borrower. No termination under this §12.3 shall relieve Borrower or Guarantors of their obligations to the Lenders arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

§12.4 Remedies. 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 Majority 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 the holder of any Note 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

125

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 Borrower or any Guarantor 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 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 Default Rate. In the event that all or any portion of the Obligations is collected by or through an attorney-at-law, Borrower shall pay all costs of collection including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees.

§12.5 Distribution 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 of the assets of Borrower or Guarantors, 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 out-of-pocket costs, expenses, disbursements and losses which shall have been paid, incurred or sustained by the Agent 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) in such order or preference as the Majority Lenders shall determine; provided, that (i) Swing Loans shall be repaid first, (ii) distributions in respect of such other Obligations shall include, on a pari passu basis, any Agent’s fee due and payable pursuant to §4.2; (iii) in the event that any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, payments to such Lender shall be governed by §2.13, and (iv) except as otherwise provided in clause (iii), Obligations owing to the Lenders with respect to each type of Obligation such as interest, principal, fees and expenses (but excluding the Swing Loans) shall be made among the Lenders pro rata; and provided, further that the Majority Lenders may in their discretion make proper allowance to take into account any Obligations not then due and payable; and

§12.6 Collateral Account.

(a) As collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, Swing Loans and the other Obligations, Borrower hereby pledges and grants to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Agent and the Lenders as provided herein, a security

126

interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to the Collateral Account and the balances from time to time in the Collateral Account. The balances from time to time in the Collateral Account shall not constitute payment of any Letter of Credit Liabilities or Swing Loans until applied by the Agent as provided herein. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, funds held in the Collateral Account shall be subject to withdrawal only as provided in this section and as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

(b) If a drawing pursuant to any Letter of Credit occurs on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, Borrower and the Lenders authorize the Agent to use the monies deposited in the Collateral Account to make payment to the beneficiary with respect to such drawing or the payee with respect to such presentment. If a Swing Loan is not refinanced as a Base Rate Loan or LIBOR Rate Loan as provided in §2.5 above, then the Agent is authorized to use monies deposited in the Collateral Account to make payment to the Swing Loan Lender with respect to any participation not funded by a Defaulting Lender.

(c) While an Event of Default exists, the Majority Revolving Credit Lenders may, in their discretion, at any time and from time to time, instruct the Agent to apply the funds in the Collateral Account to the Obligations in accordance with §12.5.

(d) So long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, and to the extent amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account pursuant to §2.13(e) exceed the pro rata share of any Letter of Credit Obligations and participations in Swing Loans of any Defaulting Lender after giving effect to §2.13(c), the Agent shall, from time to time, at the request of Borrower, deliver to Borrower within five (5) Business Days after the Agent’s receipt of such request from Borrower, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, such excess balances in the Collateral Account at such time from deposits pursuant to §2.13(e).

(e) Borrower shall pay to the Agent from time to time such reasonable fees as the Agent normally charges for similar services in connection with the Agent’s administration of the Collateral Account. Borrower authorizes Agent to file such financing statements as Agent may reasonably require in order to perfect Agent’s security interest in the Collateral Account, and Borrower shall promptly upon demand execute and deliver to Agent such other documents as Agent may reasonably request to evidence its security interest in the Collateral Account.

(f) Upon payment in full of all Obligations (other than indemnification obligations which by their terms expressly survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents unless a claim is pending with respect thereto) and the termination of the obligations of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders to extend credit hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and the cancelation or expiration of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements with respect thereto satisfactory to Administrative Agent and Issuing Lender in their sole and absolute discretion shall have been made), all funds held in the Collateral Account shall be promptly returned to Borrower and the security interest granted to Agent pursuant to §12.6(a) shall automatically be released without any further action by any further party. Agent will, at Borrower’s expense, promptly execute and deliver to Borrower such documents as Borrower may reasonably request to evidence the release of such security interest.

127

§13. SETOFF.

Regardless of the adequacy of any collateral, if any, 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 to Borrower or any Guarantor and any securities or other property of Borrower or any Guarantor in the possession of such Lender may, without notice to Borrower or any Guarantor (any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower and Guarantors) 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 such Person to such Lender. Each of the Lenders agrees with each other Lender that if such Lender shall receive from Borrower or any Guarantor, 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 (but excluding the Swing Loan Note) 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. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Bid Loan Lenders agrees with each other Bid Loan Lender holding a Bid Loan made as part of the same Bid Loan Borrowing that if such Bid Loan Lender shall receive from Borrower or any Guarantor, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of the right of setoff, or otherwise, and shall retain and apply to the payment of the Bid Loan Note held by such Bid Loan Lender any amount in excess of its ratable portion of the payments received by all of the Bid Loan Lenders with respect to the Bid Loan Notes held by all of such Bid Loan Lenders relating to such Bid Loan Borrowing, such Bid Loan Lender will make such disposition and arrangements with the other Bid Loan Lenders with respect to such excess, either by way of distribution, pro tanto assignment of claims, subrogation or otherwise as shall result in each Bid Loan Lender receiving in respect of such Bid Loan Notes held by it its proportionate payment as contemplated by this Agreement. 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.

§14.1 Authorization. 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, together with such powers as are reasonably incident thereto, provided that no duties or responsibilities not expressly assumed herein or therein

128

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. Borrower, Guarantors 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.

§14.2 Employees 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 Borrower to the extent provided for in §15.

§14.3 No 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 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 Majority Lenders. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender or 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”.

§14.4 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 Notes, 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, in each case furnished to it by or on behalf of Borrower, Guarantors 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 Borrower, Guarantors or any holder of any of the Notes shall have been duly authorized or is true, accurate and complete.

129

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 Borrower, Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or the value of any collateral or any other assets of Borrower, Guarantors 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.

§14.5 Payments.

(a) A payment by Borrower or Guarantors 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 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, each payment by Borrower hereunder shall be applied in accordance with §2.13(d).

(b) If in the 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.

§14.6 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.

§14.7 Indemnity. 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 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

130

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.

§14.8 Agent 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.

§14.9 Resignation. The Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and Borrower. Any such resignation may at Agent’s option also constitute Agent’s resignation as Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender. Upon any such resignation, the Majority 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, any Lender or any U.S. bank (or U.S. branch of a foreign bank) whose senior debt obligations are rated not less than “A” or its equivalent by Xxxxx’x or not less than “A” or its equivalent by S&P and which has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000.00. 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 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, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be any Lender or any U.S. bank (or U.S. branch of a foreign bank) whose senior debt obligations are rated not less than “A2” or its equivalent by Xxxxx’x or not less than “A” or its equivalent by S&P and which has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000.00. 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 Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, and the retiring Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and 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, 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 Agent shall also resign as the Issuing 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 Agent shall execute such assignments of and amendments to the Loan Documents as may be necessary to substitute the successor Agent for the resigning Agent.

§14.10 Duties 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 Majority Lenders and (b) the Lenders have

131

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 Borrower or Guarantors within such period. The Majority 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, 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 or any similar law as enacted in any applicable jurisdiction.

§14.11 Bankruptcy. In the event a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding is commenced by or against Borrower or any Guarantor 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 Majority 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.

§14.12 Reliance 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, that 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 Borrower or Guarantors), 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.

§14.13 Approvals.

132

(a) If consent is required for some action under this Agreement, or except as otherwise provided herein an approval of the Majority Lenders, Majority Revolving Credit Lenders, Majority Term Loan A Lenders or Majority Term Loan B Lenders is required or permitted under this Agreement, each Lender agrees to give the Agent, within ten (10) days of receipt of the written request for action together with all reasonably requested information related thereto requested by such Lender (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 the Agent submits to the Lenders a written request for consent with respect to this Agreement and any Lender fails to provide Directions within ten (10) days after such Lender receives from the Agent such initial request for Directions together with all reasonably requested information related thereto, then Agent shall make a second request for approval, which approval shall include the following in all capital, bolded, block letters on the first page thereof:

“THE FOLLOWING REQUEST REQUIRES A RESPONSE WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS OF RECEIPT. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL BE DEEMED AN APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST.”

If the Agent submits to such Lender a second written request to approve or disapprove such action, and a Lender fails to provide Directions within five (5) Business Days after the Lender receives from the Agent such second request, then 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.

(b) 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 (a “Subsequent Approval Request”), then for the purposes of this paragraph each Lender shall be required to respond to a Subsequent Approval Request within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such request.

If the Agent submits to the Lenders a Subsequent Approval Request and any Lender fails to provide Directions within five (5) Business Days after such Lender receives from the Agent the Subsequent Approval Request, then Agent shall make a second request for approval, which approval shall include the following in all capital, bolded, block letters on the first page thereof:

“THE FOLLOWING REQUEST REQUIRES A RESPONSE WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS OF RECEIPT. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL BE DEEMED AN APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST.”

If the Agent submits to such Lender a second written request to approve or disapprove the Subsequent Approval Request, and the Lender fails to approve or disapprove such Subsequent Approval Request within five (5) Business Days after the Lender receives from the Agent such second request, then 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.

133

(c) Each request by Agent for a Direction shall include Agent’s recommended course of action or determination. Notices given by Agent pursuant to this §14.13 may be given through the use of Intralinks, Syndtrak or another electronic information dissemination system. 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. Notwithstanding anything in this §14.13 to the contrary, any matter requiring all Lenders’ or each affected Lender’s approval or consent shall not be deemed given by a Lender as a result of such Lender’s failure to respond to any approval or consent request within any applicable reply period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this §14.13, the Agent, at the direction of the Majority Lenders, or the Majority Lenders, may at any time take any action that is permitted hereunder to be taken by the Majority Lenders.

§14.14 Borrower and Guarantors 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 Borrower or Guarantors, and except for the provisions of §14.9, may be modified or waived without the approval or consent of Borrower or Xxxxxxxxxx.

§00. EXPENSES.

Borrower agrees to pay, without duplication, (a) the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs of Agent of producing and reproducing this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other agreements and instruments mentioned herein, (b) any Indemnified Taxes (including any interest and penalties in respect thereto) payable by the Agent or any of the Lenders, including any taxes payable on or with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any such taxes payable by the Agent or any of the Lenders after the Closing Date (Borrower hereby agreeing to indemnify the Agent and each Lender with respect thereto), (c) all title searches, environmental reviews and the reasonable and documented out‑of‑pocket fees, expenses and disbursements of the single 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) the out-of-pocket fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of Agent incurred in connection with the syndication of the Loans, (e) all other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, expenses and disbursements of the Agent incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation or interpretation of the Loan Documents and other instruments mentioned herein, the making of each advance hereunder, and the issuance of Letters of Credit, and the syndication of the Commitments pursuant to §18 (without duplication of those items addressed in subparagraph (d), above), (f) all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and costs of appraisers, attorneys, 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 Borrower or Guarantors or the administration thereof while a Default or Event of Default exists 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 Borrower or Guarantors with respect to the Loan Documents

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

§16. INDEMNIFICATION.

Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, the Lenders, the Arrangers and each of their respective Affiliates and each director, officer, partner, employee and agent of each of the foregoing (the “Indemnified Parties”) 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 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, (b) any condition of the Unencumbered Properties or any other Real Estate, (c) any actual or proposed use by Borrower of the proceeds of any of the Loans or Letters of Credit, (d) any actual or alleged infringement of any patent, copyright, trademark, service xxxx or similar right of Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (e) Borrower and Guarantors 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) with respect to Borrower and their respective Subsidiaries and their respective properties and assets, the violation of any Environmental Law, the Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Substances or any action, suit, proceeding or investigation brought or threatened with respect to any Hazardous Substances (including, but not limited to, claims with respect to wrongful death, personal injury, nuisance or damage to property), and (h) any use of Intralinks, SyndTrak or any other system for the dissemination and sharing of documents and information, in each case

The indemnification obligations of Borrower provided herein and in the other Loan Documents and the Borrower’s obligations under §§ 4.9, 4.10 and 4.11 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. All statements contained in any certificate delivered to any Lender or the Agent at any time by or on behalf of Borrower, the Guarantors 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.

§18.1 Conditions to Assignment by Lenders. Except as provided herein, each Lender may assign to one or more banks or other entities (but not to any natural person) all or a portion of its

136

interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment 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, the Issuing Lender (as to any assignment of a Revolving Credit Commitment or Revolving Credit Loan) and, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, Borrower shall have each given its prior written consent to such assignment, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and if the Borrower does not respond to any such request for consent within ten (10) Business Days, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented (provided that (i) if Borrower reasonably requests additional information regarding the proposed assignee, the foregoing time period will be automatically extended until three (3) Business Days after Borrower receives information regarding the proposed assignee responsive to Borrower’s request and (ii) such consent shall not be required for any assignment to, in respect of a Revolving Credit Lender, another Revolving Credit Lender or Term Loan Lender, a Related Revolving Fund, an Affiliate of a Revolving Credit Lender or Term Loan Lender which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the assigning Lender or to a wholly owned Subsidiary of such Lender, and in respect of a Term Loan Lender, another Term Loan Lender or Revolving Credit Lender, a Related Term Fund or Related Revolver Fund, an Affiliate of a Term Loan Lender or Revolving Credit Lender which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the assigning Lender or to a wholly owned Subsidiary of such Lender), (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 its 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 J 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, REIT or any other Guarantor, or to a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender, (e) such assignee of a portion of the Revolving Credit Loans shall have a net worth or unfunded commitment as of the date of such assignment of not less than $100,000,000.00 (unless otherwise approved by Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, Borrower), (f) such assignee shall acquire an interest in the applicable Loans of not less than $5,000,000.00 and integral multiples of $1,000,000.00 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, and (g) if such assignment is less than the assigning Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, Term Loan A Commitment or Term Loan B Commitment, the assigning Lender shall retain an interest in the applicable Loans of not less than $5,000,000.00. In connection with such assignment of the Revolving Credit Commitment, the assignor may assign all or any portion of its Bid Loan Note and the Bid Loans at the time owing to it to the same such assignee, which, if so assigned, shall be assigned in such proportion as the assignor and assignee agree, but in no event shall the assignee acquire an interest in the Bid Loans of the assignor of less than $5,000,000.00; provided, however, that in the event such assignor assigns all of its Revolving Credit Commitment, such assignor shall assign all of its Bid Loan Note and Bid Loans, if any, in connection therewith to the same such assignee. 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

137

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. 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, Borrower, REIT or any Guarantor 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 Borrower and 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 and Swing Loans in accordance with its Commitment 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.

§18.2 Register. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent on behalf of Borrower, shall maintain 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 Commitment Percentages of and principal amount of 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 Borrower, Guarantors, Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and Lenders at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon each such recordation, the assigning Lender agrees to pay to the Agent a registration fee in the sum of $5,000.00.

§18.3 New 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, Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Agent, in exchange for each surrendered Note, a new Note to 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 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

138

substantially the form of the assigned Notes. The surrendered Notes shall be canceled and returned to Borrower.

§18.4 Participations. Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Lenders or other entities (but not to any natural person) 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 Borrower, (e) such sale is effected in accordance with all applicable laws, and (f) 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 Borrower, REIT or any other Guarantor and shall not be a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender; 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 (except for any extension contemplated under §2.12 or any Extension, and any waiver of any Default or Event of Default and the forbearance with respect to such Default or Event of Default shall not be considered an increase or extension of the Commitment of any Lender), (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 §2.12 or any Extension), (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal, (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon or (v) release Borrower or any Guarantor (except as otherwise permitted under this Agreement). 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 Documents) 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, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

§18.5 Pledge 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 any of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks organized under §4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. §341, any other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender or to such other Person as the Agent may approve to secure obligations of such Lenders. No such pledge or the enforcement thereof shall release the pledgor Lender from its obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents.

139

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

§18.7 Disclosure. Each of Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that the Information may be disclosed by Agent or a Lender:

(a) to its Affiliates directors, officers, partners, members, trustees, employees, agents, administrators, managers, representatives, advisors and controlling persons, including, but not limited to, its accountants, appraisers, legal counsel, professional advisors and other agents and advisors (collectively the “Related Parties”) who shall be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential;

(b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); provided that, to the extent commercially feasible and not prohibited by applicable law or court order, the Agent or applicable Lender, shall notify Borrower of any request by any regulatory authority (other than any such request in connection with an examination of Agent or a Lender) for disclosure of any such non-public Information prior to disclosure of such Information;

(d) to any other party to the Loan Documents;

(e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under the Loan Documents or any suit, action or proceeding relating to the Loan Documents or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary in connection with such suit, action or proceeding (provided that Borrower shall be given notice thereof and a reasonable opportunity to seek a protective court order with respect to such Information prior to such disclosure (it being understood that the refusal by a court to grant such a protective order shall not prevent the disclosure of such Information thereafter));

(f) subject to an agreement containing confidentiality undertakings substantially similar to those of this Section 18.7, to (i) any Lender, assignee, of or participant in, or any prospective Lender, assignee of or participant in, the Loans or any interest therein, and their Related Parties in connection with a potential or actual assignment or transfer by such Lender of any Loans or any participations therein (Borrower hereby agrees to promptly cooperate with any reasonable requests by any Lender in connection with any proposed assignment, transfer or participation of all or any portion of such Lender’s Commitment) or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the REIT, Borrower or any other Subsidiary and its obligations, the Loan Documents or payments hereunder or thereunder;

140

(g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the REIT, its Subsidiaries or the Loans or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Loans;

(h) with the consent of Borrower; or

(i) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this §18.7 or (B) becomes available to any Lender, Related Parties or Affiliates of any of the foregoing on a non-confidential basis from a source other than REIT, Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries that, to the actual knowledge of such Lender, Related Parties or Affiliate, without duty of inquiry, is not subject to contractual or fiduciary confidentiality obligations.

Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in §18.7 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

§18.8 Amendments to Loan Documents. Upon any such assignment or participation, Borrower shall (and shall cause Guarantors to), 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.

§18.9 Titled 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.

§18.10 Mandatory Assignment. In the event Borrower requests that certain amendments, modifications or waivers be made to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents which request is approved by Agent but is not approved by one or more of the Lenders (any such non-consenting Lender shall hereafter be referred to as the “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, within thirty (30) days after Borrower’s receipt of notice of such disapproval by such Non-Consenting Lender, Borrower shall have the right as to such Non-Consenting Lender, to be exercised by delivery of written notice delivered to the Agent and the Non-Consenting Lender within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice, to elect to cause the Non-Consenting Lender to transfer its entire Commitment. The Agent shall promptly (but in any event, no later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of such notice from Borrower) notify the remaining Lenders (each such notice, the “Lender Offer Notice”) that each of such Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire a portion of the Commitment, pro rata based upon their relevant Commitment Percentages, of the Non-Consenting Lender (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 Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitment within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the Lender Offer Notice, then Borrower may endeavor to find a new Lender or Lenders to acquire such remaining Commitment, such Lender or Lenders to be subject to the approval of Agent and Issuing Lender, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. Upon any such purchase of the Commitment of the Non-Consenting Lender, the Non-Consenting Lender’s interests in the Obligations and its rights hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall terminate at the date of purchase, and the Non‑Consenting Lender shall promptly execute and deliver any

141

and all documents reasonably requested by Agent to surrender and transfer such interest, including, without limitation, an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and such Non-Consenting Lender’s original Note. Notwithstanding anything in this §18.10 to the contrary, any Lender or other Lender assignee acquiring some or all of the assigned Commitment of the Non-Consenting Lender must consent to the proposed amendment, modification or waiver. The purchase price to be paid by the acquiring Lenders for the Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitment shall equal the principal owed to such Non-Consenting Lender, and Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in addition thereto and as a condition to such sale any and all other amounts outstanding and owed by Borrower to the Non-Consenting Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, including all accrued and unpaid interest or fees which would be owed to such Non-Consenting Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents if the Loans were to be repaid in full on the date of such purchase of the Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitment. No registration fee under §18.2 shall be required in connection with such assignment.

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. Agent, any Lender or 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.

No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent on any matter not expressly waived. No course of 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. No notice to or demand upon any of Borrower or Guarantors shall entitle Borrower or Guarantors to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 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, except as provided in §2.12,

147

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 disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender).

(b) Further notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this §27, if the Agent and the Borrower have jointly identified an ambiguity, omission, mistake or 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 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 shall become effective without any further or consent of any of other party to this Agreement.

(c) (i) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Agent from time to time, request an extension (each, an “Extension”) of the maturity date of any Class of Loans and Commitments to the extended maturity date specified in such notice. Such notice shall (A) set forth the amount of the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments, Term Loans A and/or Term Loans B that will be subject to the Extension (which shall be in a minimum amount reasonably acceptable to the Agent and the Borrower), (B) set forth the date on which such Extension is requested to become effective (which shall be not less than ten (10) Business Days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date of such Extension notice (or such longer or shorter periods as the Agent shall agree in its sole discretion)) and (C) identify the relevant Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, Term Loans A and/or Term Loans B to which such Extension relates. Each Lender of the applicable Class shall be offered (an “Extension Offer”) an opportunity to participate in such Extension on a pro rata basis and on the same terms and conditions as each other Lender of such Class pursuant to procedures established by, or reasonably acceptable to, the Agent and the Borrower. If the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Commitments, Term Loans A or Term Loans B in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Commitments, Term Loans A or Term Loans B, as applicable, subject to the Extension Offer as set forth in the Extension notice, then the Revolving Credit Commitments, Term Loans A or Term Loans B, as applicable, of Lenders of the applicable Class shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer.

(ii) The following shall be conditions precedent to the effectiveness of any Extension: (A) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to such Extension, (B) each of the representations and warranties made by or on behalf of the Borrower, Guarantors 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

148

date as of which they were made and shall also be true in all material respects as of the effective date of such Extension, 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 in all material respects only as of such specified date), (C) the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender shall have consented to any Extension of the Revolving Credit Commitments, to the extent that such Extension provides for the issuance or extension of Letters of Credit or making of Swing Loans at any time during the extended period, (D) the terms of such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, Extended Term Loans A and Extended Term Loans B shall comply with §27(c)(iii) and (E) the Revolving Credit Commitments, Term Loan A Commitments and Term Loan B Commitments of any nonparticipating Revolving Credit Lender, Term Loan A Lender and Term Loan B Lender shall terminate and the Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans A and Term Loans B of such Lender shall be due and payable in each case on the original Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Term Loan A Maturity Date or Term Loan B Maturity Date, as applicable, or such other date specified by Section 12, and such Loans, together with all interest, fees and other amounts accrued or otherwise due and payable to such Lender shall have been paid on or before the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Term Loan A Maturity Date or the Term Loan B Maturity Date, as applicable, or such earlier date specified in Section 12. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Commitments or Loans of any Lender be extended pursuant to this Section §27(c) unless such Lender affirmatively accepts in writing the applicable Extension Offer, it being understood and agreed that a failure by a Lender to respond to any such Extension Offer shall be deemed to be a rejection by such Lender of such Extension Offer.

(iii) The terms of each Extension shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable extending Lenders and set forth in an Extension Amendment; provided that (A) the final maturity date of any Extended Revolving Credit Commitment, Extended Term Loan A or Extended Term Loan B shall be no earlier than the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Term Loan A Maturity Date or the Term Loan B Maturity Date, respectively, (B)(1) there shall be no scheduled amortization of the loans or reductions of commitments under any Extended Commitments and (2) the average life to maturity of the Extended Term Loans A or the Extended Term Loans B, as applicable, shall be no shorter than the remaining average life to maturity of the existing Term Loans A or the existing Term Loans B, as applicable, (C) the Extended Revolving Credit Loans, the Extended Term Loans A and the Extended Term Loans B will rank pari passu in right of payment and with respect to security with the existing Revolving Credit Loans, the existing Term Loans A and the existing Term Loans B and the borrower and guarantors of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, the Extended Term Loans A or the Extended Term Loans B, as applicable, shall be the same as the Borrower and Guarantors with respect to the existing Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans A or Term Loans B, as applicable, (D) the interest rate margin, rate floors, fees, original issue discount and premium applicable to any Extended Revolving Credit Commitment (and the Extended Revolving Credit Loans thereunder), the Extended Term Loans A and Extended Term Loans B shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable extending Lenders, (E)(1) the Extended Term Loans A or Extended Term Loans B, as applicable, may participate on a pro rata or less than pro rata (but not greater than pro rata) basis in voluntary or mandatory prepayments with the other Term Loans A and Term Loans B, as applicable, and (2) borrowing and prepayment of Extended Revolving

149

Credit Loans, or reductions of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, and participation in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans, shall be on a pro rata basis with the other Revolving Credit Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments (other than upon the maturity of the non-extended Revolving Credit Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments) and (F) the terms of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, the Extended Term Loans A or the Extended Term Loans B, as applicable, shall be substantially identical to the terms set forth herein (except as set forth in clauses (A) through (E) above).

(d) In connection with any Extension, the Borrower, the Agent and each applicable extending Lender shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Extension Amendment and such other documentation as the Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Extension. The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension. Any Extension Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Agent and the Borrower, to implement the terms of any such Extension, including any amendments necessary to establish Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, Extended Term Loans A or Extended Term Loans B as a new Class or tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments, Term Loans A or Term Loans B, as applicable, and such other technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new Class or tranche (including to preserve the pro rata treatment of the extended and non-extended Classes or tranches and to provide for the reallocation of the Revolving Credit Exposure upon the expiration or termination of the commitments under any Class or tranche), in each case on terms consistent with this section.

§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.

§29. TIME OF THE ESSENCE.

Time is of the essence with respect to each and every covenant, agreement and obligation of Borrower and Guarantors under this Agreement and 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 and issue Letters of Credit, are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders 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 or issue Letters of Credit 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 Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries of any development or the absence therefrom of defects.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (“Maker”), hereby promises to pay to ________________ __________________ (“Payee”), or its successors and permitted assigns, in accordance with the terms of that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of November 21, 2016, as amended, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time, among CyrusOne LP, KeyBank National Association, as a lender and as Agent for the lenders party thereto, and the other lenders party thereto, including Payee, as may be from time to time named therein (the “Credit Agreement”), to the extent not sooner paid, on or before the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the principal sum of _________________ ($__________), or if less such amount as may be advanced by the Payee under the Credit Agreement as a Revolving Credit 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, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on overdue installments of interest 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 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxx 00000-0000, or at such other address as Agent may designate from time to time.

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 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

This paragraph shall control all agreements between the undersigned Maker and the Lenders and the Agent.

In case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, 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, pursuant to New York General Obligations Law Section 5‑1401, be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

The undersigned Maker and all guarantors and endorsers 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.

[This Note is issued in replacement of that certain Revolving Credit Note dated ____________, 201__, made by the undersigned maker to the order of ______________________ and issued pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement (the “Prior Note”), and shall supersede and replace the Prior Note in all respects. The execution and delivery by the undersigned of this Note shall not, in any manner or circumstance, be deemed to be a novation of or to have terminated, extinguished or discharged any of the undersigned’s indebtedness evidenced by the Prior Note, all of which indebtedness shall continue under, and shall hereinafter be evidenced and governed by, this Note.]

A.On or about the date hereof, CyrusOne LP, a Maryland limited partnership (“Borrower”), Agent and the Lenders entered into that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) whereby the Lenders agreed to make a revolving credit, bid loan and term loan facility (the “Loan”) available to Borrower in the maximum aggregate amount at any time outstanding not to exceed the sum of One Billion Five Hundred Fifty Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,550,000,000.00), increasable to One Billion Eight Hundred Fifty Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,850,000,000.00). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.

B.In connection with the Loan, Borrower has executed and delivered the Notes in favor of Lenders and certain other Loan Documents.

C.Guarantors will derive material financial benefit from the Loan evidenced by the Notes and the other Loan Documents.

D.The Credit Parties have relied on the statements and agreements contained herein in agreeing to make the Loan. The execution and delivery of this Guaranty by Guarantors is a condition precedent to the making of the Loan by Lenders.

AGREEMENTS

NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound, Guarantors, in consideration of the matters described in the foregoing Recitals, which Recitals are incorporated herein and made a part hereof, and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are

N-1

acknowledged, hereby covenant and agree for the benefit of the Credit Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns as follows:

1. Guaranty. Each Guarantor, absolutely, unconditionally, and irrevocably guarantees:

(a) the full and prompt payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes (including, without limitation, the Revolving Credit Notes, the Term Loan A Notes, the Term Loan B Notes, the Bid Loan Notes and the Swing Loan Note) when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, and the full and prompt payment of all sums which may now be or may hereafter become due and owing under the Notes, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with any replacements, supplements, renewals, modifications, consolidations, restatements, increases and extensions thereof;

(b) the full, complete and punctual observance, performance and satisfaction of all of the other obligations, duties, covenants and agreements of Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with any replacements, supplements, renewals, modifications, consolidations, restatements, increases and extensions thereof; and

All amounts due, debts, liabilities, payment obligations and other obligations described in subsections (a) through (c) of this Section 1 are referred to herein as the “Obligations.” Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantors acknowledge the terms of Section 2.11 of the Credit Agreement pursuant to which the Total Commitment under the Credit Agreement may be increased and agree that this Guaranty shall extend and be applicable to each new or replacement note delivered by Borrower in connection with any such increase and all other obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents as a result of such increase without notice to or consent from Guarantors, or any of them.

2. Agreement to Pay or Perform. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Guarantors agree, on demand by Agent (which demand may be made concurrently with notice to Borrower that an Event of Default has occurred), to pay to Agent for distribution to the applicable Credit Parties and perform all the Obligations regardless of any defense, right of setoff or claims which Borrower or any Guarantor may have against any of the Credit Parties (other than the indefeasible payment in full (other than Obligations which survive termination of the Credit Agreement as to which no claim has been made) in cash and performance in full of the Obligations). Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Agent shall have the right, at its option, either before, during or after pursuing any right or remedy against Borrower or any Guarantor, to perform any and all of the then unperformed Obligations by or through any agent of its selection, all as the Agent in its sole discretion deems proper. Furthermore, the Credit Parties shall not have any obligation to protect or insure any collateral for the Loan, nor shall the Credit Parties have any obligation to perfect their security interest in any collateral for the Loan.

All of the remedies set forth herein and/or provided for in any of the Loan Documents or at law or equity shall be available to the Agent, and the choice by the Agent of one such alternative over another shall not be subject to question or challenge by any Guarantor or any other Person, nor shall any such choice be asserted as a defense, setoff, or failure to mitigate damages in any

N-2

action, proceeding, or counteraction by the Credit Parties to recover or seeking any other remedy under this Guaranty, nor shall such choice preclude the Credit Parties from subsequently electing to exercise a different remedy. The parties have agreed to the alternative remedies hereinabove specified in part because they recognize that the choice of remedies in the event of a failure hereunder will necessarily be and should properly be a matter of good faith business judgment, which the passage of time and events may or may not prove to have been the best choice to maximize recovery by the Credit Parties at the lowest cost to Borrower and/or Guarantors. It is the intention of the parties that such good faith choice by the Credit Parties be given conclusive effect regardless of such subsequent developments.

3. Waiver of Defenses. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by, and hereby waives and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any defense based on any of the following (other than any defense of the indefeasible payment in full (other than Obligations which survive termination of the Credit Agreement as to which no claim has been made) in cash and performance in full of the Obligations):

(a) (i) any change in the amount, interest rate or due date or other term of any of the obligations hereby guaranteed, (ii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of all or any portion of the obligations hereby guaranteed, (iii) any amendment or waiver of, or consent to the departure from or other indulgence with respect to, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other document or instrument evidencing or relating to any obligations hereby guaranteed, or (iv) any waiver, renewal, extension, addition, or supplement to, or deletion from, or any other action or inaction under or in respect of, the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other documents, instruments or agreements relating to the obligations hereby guaranteed or any other instrument or agreement evidencing any obligations hereby guaranteed or any assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing;

(b) any subordination of the payment of the obligations hereby guaranteed to the payment of any other liability of Borrower or any other person;

(c) any act or failure to act by Borrower or any other Person which may adversely affect such Guarantor’s subrogation rights, if any, against Borrower or any other Person to recover payments made under this Guaranty;

(d) any nonperfection or impairment of any security interest or other lien on any collateral, if any, securing in any way any of the obligations hereby guaranteed or any failure on the part of the Credit Parties to ascertain the extent or nature of any collateral or any 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) any application of sums paid by Borrower or any other Person with respect to the Obligations, regardless of what liabilities of Borrower remain unpaid;

(f) any defense of Borrower, including without limitation, the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Obligations;

(g) either with or without notice to such Guarantor, any renewal, extension, modification, amendment or other changes in the Obligations, including but not limited to any material alteration of the terms of payment or performance of the Obligations;

N-3

(h) any statute of limitations in any action hereunder or for the collection of the Notes or for the payment or performance of any obligation hereby guaranteed;

(i) the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of Borrower or any other Person or entity, or the failure of the Credit Parties to file or enforce a claim against the estate (either in administration, bankruptcy or in any other proceeding) of Borrower or any Guarantor or any other Person;

(j) the dissolution or termination of existence of Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person;

(k) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Borrower or any Guarantor or any other Person;

(m) an assertion or claim that the automatic stay provided by 11 U.S.C. §362 (arising upon the voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding of Borrower), any Insolvency Law 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 the Credit Parties to enforce any of their rights, whether now or hereafter required, which the Credit Parties may have against any Guarantor or any collateral for the Loan;

(n) any right or claim of right to cause a marshaling of the assets of Borrower or Guarantors;

(o) the damage, destruction, condemnation, foreclosure or surrender of all or any part of any collateral or the Unencumbered Property;

(p) the failure of the Credit Parties to give notice to any Guarantor of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness or obligation of Borrower or of any action or nonaction on the part of any other person whomsoever in connection with any obligation hereby guaranteed;

(q) any failure or delay of the Credit Parties to commence an action against Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person, to assert or enforce any remedies against Borrower or any Guarantor under the Notes or the other Loan Documents, or to realize upon any security;

(r) any failure of any duty on the part of the Credit Parties to disclose to Guarantors any facts they may now or hereafter know regarding Borrower (including, without limitation Borrower’s financial condition), any other person or entity, any collateral, or any other assets or liabilities of such person or entity, whether such facts materially increase the risk to Guarantors or not (it being agreed that Guarantors assume responsibility for being informed with respect to such information);

N-4

(t) failure to make or give notice of presentment and demand (other than the demand on Guarantors pursuant to Section 2 above) for payment of any of the indebtedness or performance of any of the obligations hereby guaranteed;

(u) failure to make or give protest and notice of dishonor or of default to Guarantors or to any other party with respect to the indebtedness or performance of obligations hereby guaranteed;

(v) any and all other notices whatsoever to which Guarantors might otherwise be entitled;

(w) any lack of diligence by the Credit Parties in collection, protection or realization upon any collateral securing the payment of the indebtedness or performance of obligations hereby guaranteed;

(x) the invalidity or unenforceability of the Notes, or any of the other Loan Documents, or any assignment or transfer of the foregoing;

(y) the compromise, settlement, release or termination of any or all of the obligations of Borrower or any Guarantor (except that an individual Guarantor may be released as provided in Section 5.2(b) and (c) of the Credit Agreement) under the Notes or the other Loan Documents (except to the extent that no Obligation (other than Obligations which survive termination of the Credit Agreement as to which no claim has been made) remains outstanding or subject to any fraudulent conveyance, preference, transfer for undervalue or bankruptcy preference period or any other possibility of disgorgement and no Letters of Credit remain outstanding and no Credit Party has any obligation to make any Loans or issue any Letters of Credit);

(z) any transfer by Borrower or any other Person of all or any part of any security encumbered by the Loan Documents;

(aa) any right to require the Credit Parties to proceed against Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by the Credit Parties at any time or to pursue any other remedy in the Credit Parties’ power or under any other agreement before proceeding against any Guarantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document;

(bb) the failure of the Credit Parties to perfect any security or to extend or renew the perfection of any security;

(cc) any principle or provision of law, statutory or otherwise, which is or might be in conflict with the terms and provisions of this Guaranty;

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

(ee) any sale or assignment of the Loan Documents, or any interest therein;

N-5

(ff) any and all rights, benefits and defenses which might otherwise be available under the provisions of any other applicable statues, rules or common law principals or provisions which might operate to limit any Guarantor’s liability under, or the enforcement of, this Guaranty; or

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

Each Guarantor understands that the exercise by the Credit Parties of certain rights and remedies may affect or eliminate such Guarantor’s right of subrogation in respect of the Obligations against Borrower and that such Guarantor may therefore incur partially or totally nonreimbursable liability hereunder. Nevertheless, each Guarantor hereby authorizes and empowers the Agent and its permitted successor and assigns, on behalf of the Credit Parties to exercise in its sole discretion, any rights and remedies, or any combination thereof, which may then be available under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any remedies against Borrower with respect to the Notes, it being the purpose and intent of the Guarantors that the obligations hereunder shall be absolute, continuing, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty to the contrary, for so long as any Obligation (other than Obligations which survive termination of the Credit Agreement as to which no claim has been made) remains outstanding or subject to any fraudulent conveyance, preference, transfer for undervalue or bankruptcy preference period or any other possibility of disgorgement or any Letters of Credit remain outstanding or any Credit Party has any obligation to make any Loans or issue any Letters of Credit, each Guarantor hereby agrees not to pursue any claim or other rights which such Guarantor may now have or hereafter acquire, in each case solely in respect of the Obligations, against the Borrower or any other Guarantor of all or any of the obligations of Guarantors hereunder that arise from the existence or performance of such Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation but in each case solely in respect of the Obligations, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Credit Parties against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any collateral which Credit Parties now have or hereafter acquire, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, including, without limitation but in each case solely in respect of the Obligations, the right to take or receive from the Borrower or any other Guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights except for those rights of each Guarantor for contribution that such Guarantor may choose to exercise; provided, however, each Guarantor agrees not to pursue or enforce any of its rights for contribution and each Guarantor agrees not to make or receive any payment on account of such rights of contribution with respect to the Obligations so long as any of the Obligations (other than Obligations which survive termination of the Credit Agreement as to which no claim has been made) remain unpaid or undischarged or any Letters of Credit remain outstanding or any Credit Party has any obligation to make any Loans or issue any Letters of Credit. In the event any Guarantor shall receive any such payment under or on account of any rights of contribution in respect of any Obligations, it shall hold such payment as trustee for Credit Parties and pay such amounts over to the Agent for distribution to the applicable Credit Parties on account of the indebtedness of Borrower to Credit Parties but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantors under the other provisions of this Guaranty except to the extent the principal amount or other portion of such indebtedness shall have been reduced by such payment.

N-6

4. Rights of Credit Parties to Deal with Borrower and Other Persons. Each Guarantor hereby consents and agrees that the Credit Parties may at any time, and from time to time, without thereby releasing any Guarantor from any liability hereunder and without notice to or further consent from any Guarantor or any other Person, either with or without consideration: release or surrender any lien or other security of any kind or nature whatsoever held by them or by any person, firm or corporation on their behalf or for their account, securing any indebtedness or liability hereby guaranteed; substitute for any collateral so held by them, other collateral of like kind, or of any kind; modify the terms of the Notes or the Loan Documents; extend or renew the Notes for any period; grant releases, compromises and indulgences with respect to the Notes or the Loan Documents and to any persons or entities now or hereafter liable thereunder or hereunder; release any other guarantor, surety, endorser or accommodation party of the Notes or any other Loan Document; or take or fail to take any action of any type whatsoever. No such action which the Credit Parties shall take or fail to take in connection with the Notes or the Loan Documents, or any of them, or any security for the payment of the indebtedness of Borrower to the Credit Parties or for the performance of any obligations or undertakings of Borrower or Guarantors, nor any course of dealing with Borrower or any other Person, shall release Guarantors’ obligations hereunder, affect this Guaranty in any way or afford Guarantors any recourse against the Credit Parties. The provisions of this Guaranty shall extend and be applicable to all replacements, supplements, renewals, amendments, extensions, consolidations, restatements and modifications of the Notes and the other Loan Documents, and any and all references herein to the Notes and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to include any such replacements, supplements, renewals, extensions, amendments, consolidations, restatements or modifications thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor acknowledges the terms of Section 18 of the Credit Agreement and agrees that this Guaranty shall extend and be applicable to each new or replacement note delivered by Borrower pursuant thereto without notice to or further consent from Guarantor. Each Guarantor acknowledges that no representations of any kind whatsoever have been made by the Credit Parties to Borrower or Guarantors. No modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Guaranty shall be binding upon the Credit Parties except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered by Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement.

5. Guaranty of Payment and Performance and Not of Collection. This is an absolute, present and continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection. The liability of Guarantors under this Guaranty shall be primary, direct and immediate and not conditional or contingent upon the pursuit of any remedies against Borrower or any other person, nor against any securities or liens available to Credit Parties or their permitted successors or assigns. Guarantors hereby waive any right to require that an action be brought against Borrower or any other Person or to require that resort be had to any security or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of Credit Parties in favor of Borrower or any other person. Each Guarantor further agrees that nothing contained herein or otherwise shall prevent the Credit Parties from pursuing concurrently or successively all rights and remedies available to them at law and/or in equity or under the Notes, Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents, and the exercise of any of their rights or the completion of any of their remedies shall not constitute a discharge of Guarantors’ obligations hereunder, it being the purpose and intent of Guarantors that the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances whatsoever other than any defense of indefeasible payment in full (other than Obligations which survive termination of the Credit Agreement as to which no claim has been made) in cash and performance in full of the Obligations. None of Guarantors’ obligations under this

N-7

Guaranty or any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by any impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of Borrower under the Notes, Credit Agreement or other Loan Documents or by reason of the bankruptcy or other insolvency of Borrower or by reason of any creditor or bankruptcy proceeding instituted by or against Borrower. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated (as the case may be) if at any time payment of all or any part of any sum payable pursuant to the Notes, Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document is rescinded or otherwise required to be returned by the Credit Parties upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, or reorganization of Borrower, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, receiver-manager, monitor, liquidator, custodian or conservator of or trustee or similar officer for, Borrower or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment to the Credit Parties had not been made, regardless of whether the Credit Parties contested the order requiring the return of such payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the other Loan Documents, the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be unsecured obligations.

6. Assignment by Credit Party. In the event any Credit Party shall assign its rights in connection with the Loan to another Person pursuant to and in compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, Guarantors will accord full recognition thereto and agree that all rights and remedies of such Person shall be enforceable against Guarantors by the Agent on behalf of such Person with the same force and effect and to the same extent as would have been enforceable by the Agent on behalf of such Credit Party but for such assignment.

7. Costs of Collection. During the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, upon enforcement by the Agent of this Guaranty, Guarantors shall pay to the Agent all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorney’s fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (all of which are referred to herein as “Enforcement Costs”) (provided that any attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses pursuant to this Section 7 shall be limited to those incurred by one counsel to the Agent and an additional single local counsel in each applicable local jurisdiction for Agent (and, to the extent reasonably necessary, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel), in addition to all other amounts due hereunder, regardless of whether all or a portion of such Enforcement Costs are incurred in a single proceeding brought to enforce this Guaranty as well as the other Loan Documents (provided that such Enforcement Costs shall not be duplicative of costs claimed under the Loan Documents).

8. Severability. The parties hereto intend and believe that each provision in this Guaranty comports with all applicable local, state, provincial and federal laws and judicial decisions. However, if any provision or provisions, or if any portion of any provision or provisions, in this Guaranty is found by a court of law to be in violation of any applicable local, state, provincial or federal ordinance, statute, law, administrative or judicial decision, or public policy, and if such court should declare such portion, provision or provisions of this Guaranty to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the intent of all parties hereto that such portion, provision or provisions shall be given force to the fullest possible extent that they are legal, valid and enforceable, that the remainder of this Guaranty shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable portion, provision or provisions were not contained therein, and that the rights, obligations and interest of the Credit Parties or the holder of the Notes under the remainder of this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect.

N-8

9. Marshaling of Assets; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Venue; Consent to Service of Process. TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE MARSHALING OF ASSETS BY THE CREDIT PARTIES. EACH GUARANTOR AGREES THAT ANY SUIT FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING ANY FEDERAL COURT SITTING THEREIN). WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY (EACH, A “PROCEEDING”), THE CREDIT PARTIES AND EACH GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE NON‑EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND ANY RELATED APPELLATE COURT AND IRREVOCABLY (i) AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY WITH RESPECT TO THIS GUARANTY AND ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND (ii) WAIVES ANY OBJECTION ANY OF THEM MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH A COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. EACH GUARANTOR FURTHER AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH SUIT MAY BE MADE UPON ANY GUARANTOR BY MAIL AT THE ADDRESS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 13 HEREOF. IN ADDITION TO XXX XXXXXX XX XXX XXXXX XX XXX XXXX XX ANY FEDERAL COURT SITTING THEREIN, ANY CREDIT PARTY MAY BRING ACTION(S) FOR ENFORCEMENT ON A NONEXCLUSIVE BASIS WHERE ANY ASSETS OF EACH GUARANTOR EXIST AND EACH GUARANTOR CONSENTS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND THE SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH SUIT BEING MADE UPON ANY GUARANTOR BY MAIL AT THE ADDRESS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 13 HEREOF.

10. No Contest with Credit Parties; Subordination. Any indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantors now or hereafter existing is hereby subordinated to the payment and performance of the Obligations. Each Guarantor agrees that, for so long as any Obligation (other than Obligations which survive termination of the Credit Agreement as to which no claim has been made) remains outstanding or any Letters of Credit remain outstanding or any Credit Party has any obligation to make any Loans or issue any Letters of Credit, no Guarantor will seek, accept, or retain for its own account, any payment from Borrower on account of such subordinated debt; provided however that so long as no Default or Event of Default shall be continuing, Guarantor may seek, accept and retain payments by Borrower of principal and interest in connection with the subordinated debt. Any payments to any Guarantor on account of such subordinated debt which are not otherwise permitted herein shall be collected and received by such Guarantor in trust for the Credit Parties and shall be paid over to the Credit Parties on account of the Indebtedness without impairing or releasing the obligations of Guarantors hereunder. No Guarantor will, by paying any sum recoverable hereunder (whether or not demanded by the Credit Parties) or by any means or on any other ground, claim any set-off or counterclaim against Borrower in respect of any liability of such Guarantor to Borrower or, in proceedings under Insolvency Law of any nature, prove in competition with the Credit Parties in respect of any payment hereunder or be entitled to have the benefit of any counterclaim or proof of claim or dividend or payment by or on behalf of Borrower or the benefit of any other security for any of the Obligations hereby guaranteed which, now or hereafter, the Credit Parties may hold or in which they may have any share. For so long as any Obligation (other than Obligations which survive termination of the Credit Agreement as to which no claim has been made) remains

N-9

outstanding or subject to any bankruptcy preference, fraudulent conveyance, preference or transfer for undervalue period or any other possibility of disgorgement or any Letters of Credit remain outstanding or any Credit Party has any obligation to make any Loans or issue any Letters of Credit, each Guarantor hereby expressly agrees not to pursue any right of contribution from or indemnity against Borrower, whether at law or in equity, arising from any payments made by any Guarantor pursuant to the terms of this Guaranty, and each Guarantor acknowledges that no Guarantor has any right whatsoever to proceed against Borrower or for reimbursement of any such payments except for any rights of each Guarantor for contribution; provided, however, each Guarantor agrees not to pursue or enforce any of its rights for contribution and each Guarantor agrees not to make or receive any payment on account of such rights of contribution so long as any of the Obligations (other than Obligations which survive termination of the Credit Agreement as to which no claim has been made) remain unpaid or undischarged. In the event any Guarantor shall receive such payment under or on account of any such right of contribution, it shall hold such payment as trustee for Credit Parties and pay such amounts over to Agent for distribution to the applicable Credit Parties on account of the Obligations but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantors under the other provisions of this Guaranty except to the extent the principal amount or other portion of the Obligations shall have been reduced by such payment. In connection with the foregoing and for so long as any Obligation (other than Obligations which survive termination of the Credit Agreement as to which no claim has been made) remains outstanding or subject to any bankruptcy preference, fraudulent conveyance, preference or transfer for undervalue period or any other possibility of disgorgement or any Letters of Credit remain outstanding or any Credit Party has any obligation to make any Loans or issue any Letters of Credit, each Guarantor expressly agrees not to pursue any and all rights of subrogation to the Credit Parties against Borrower, and each Guarantor hereby agrees not to pursue any rights to enforce any remedy which the Credit Parties may have against Borrower and any rights to participate in any collateral for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents.

11. Application of Payments. Any amounts received by the Credit Parties from any source on account of the Loan may be utilized by the Credit Parties for the payment and performance of the Obligations and in such order and manner as the Credit Parties may from time to time elect in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

12. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE GUARANTORS AND THE CREDIT PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF ANY DISPUTE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, ANY RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER OR THE PERFORMANCE OF SUCH RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS. EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY SUCH LITIGATION ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, PUNITIVE OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES. EACH GUARANTOR (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY CREDIT PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH CREDIT PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE CREDIT PARTIES HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS GUARANTY AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS TO WHICH THEY ARE PARTIES BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE WAIVERS AND

N-10

CERTIFICATIONS CONTAINED IN THIS §12. EACH GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THIS §12 WITH LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT EACH GUARANTOR AGREES TO THE FOREGOING AS ITS FREE, KNOWING AND VOLUNTARY ACT.

13. Notices. All notices, demands or requests provided for or permitted to be given pursuant to this Guaranty (hereinafter in this paragraph referred to as “Notice”) must be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given or served by personal delivery or by sending same by overnight courier or by depositing the same in the United States mail, postpaid and registered or certified, return receipt requested, at the addresses set forth below. Each Notice shall be effective upon being delivered personally or upon being sent by overnight courier or upon being deposited in the United States Mail as aforesaid. The time period in which a response to any such Notice must be given or any action taken with respect thereto, however, shall commence to run 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 and 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 of which no Notice was given shall be deemed to be receipt of the Notice sent. By giving at least five (5) days prior Notice thereof, Guarantors or any Credit Party shall have the right from time to time and at any time during the term of this Guaranty 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.

In order to induce the Lenders to make the Loan, Guarantors acknowledge and affirm the truth and accuracy in all material respects of the representations and warranties set forth in the Credit Agreement that are applicable to such Guarantors and incorporate such representations and warranties as if set forth herein in their entirety (it being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty in the Credit Agreement which by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects only as of such specified date). Each Guarantor acknowledges that but for the truth and accuracy in all material respects of the matters covered by such representations and warranties, the Lenders would not have agreed to make the Loan. Guarantors acknowledge that the terms of this paragraph are subject to Section 1.2(m) of the Credit Agreement.

All of the foregoing representations and warranties 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 any Loan or the issuance of any Letter of Credit, 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 in all material respects only as of such specified date).

N-12

18. Request for Loans. Credit Parties shall be entitled to honor any request for Loan proceeds made by Borrower and shall have no obligation to see to the proper disposition of such advances. Each Guarantor agrees that their respective obligations hereunder shall not be released or affected by reason of any improper disposition by Borrower of such Loan proceeds.

19. Business Failure, Bankruptcy or Insolvency. In the event of the business failure of any Guarantor or if there shall be pending any bankruptcy, insolvency or other case or proceeding with respect to any Guarantor under any Insolvency Law or any other applicable law or in connection with the insolvency of any Guarantor, or if a liquidator, receiver, trustee or similar Person or official shall have been appointed for any Guarantor or any Guarantor’s properties or assets, the Credit Parties may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Credit Parties allowed in any proceedings relative to such Guarantor, or any of such Guarantor’s properties or assets, and, irrespective of whether the indebtedness or other obligations of Borrower guaranteed hereby shall then be due and payable, by declaration or otherwise, the Credit Parties shall be entitled and empowered to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of any sums or sums owing with respect to the indebtedness or other obligations of Borrower guaranteed hereby, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim. Each Guarantor covenants and agrees that upon the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding by or against Borrower, Guarantors shall not seek a supplemental stay or otherwise pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §105 or any other provision of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or any other Insolvency Law or 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, to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of the Credit Parties to enforce any rights of the Credit Parties against Guarantors by virtue of this Guaranty or otherwise.

20. Set-Off. Regardless of the adequacy of any collateral, if any, 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 Credit Party to any Guarantor and any securities or other property of any Guarantor in the possession of such Credit Party may, without notice to any Guarantor (any such notice being expressly waived by Guarantors) but with the prior written approval of Agent, be applied to or set off against the amounts payable under this Guaranty and any and all other liabilities, direct, or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, of such Person to such Credit Party.

21. Disclosure of Information. Each Guarantor agrees that in addition to disclosures made in accordance with standard banking practices, any Credit Party may disclose information obtained by such Credit Party pursuant to this Guaranty to assignees or participants and potential assignees or participants hereunder subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, including but not limited to Section 18.7 thereof.

22. Counterparts. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. In proving this Guaranty it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.

N-13

23. Ratification. Each Guarantor covenants and agrees that so long as any Obligation (other than Obligations which survive termination of the Credit Agreement as to which no claim has been made) remains outstanding or any Letters of Credit remain outstanding or any Credit Party has any obligation to make any Loans or issue any Letters of Credit each Guarantor shall comply with all of the covenants and agreements applicable to such Guarantor and its Subsidiaries contained in the Credit Agreement.

24. No Unwritten Agreement. THIS GUARANTY REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

25. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to each and every covenant, agreement and obligation of Guarantors under this Guaranty.

26. Fair Consideration. The Guarantors represent that the Guarantors are engaged in common business enterprises related to those of the Borrower and each Guarantor will derive substantial direct or indirect economic benefit from the effectiveness and existence of the Credit Agreement.

27. Continuance of Guaranty. (a) This Guaranty and all covenants made by the Guarantors under the Loan Documents shall, subject to the terms of Section 5 hereof, continue in effect for so long as any Obligation remains outstanding (other than Obligations which survive termination of the Credit Agreement as to which no claim has been made) or any Letters of Credit remain outstanding or any Credit Party has any obligation to make any Loans or issue any Letters of Credit and until all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) of Guarantors to Credit Parties under this Guaranty are fully and finally performed and discharged in accordance with their terms (and without regard to any extension, reduction or other alteration thereof in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, any other Insolvency Law or any other proceeding described in Section 12.1(h), (i) or (j) of the Credit Agreement).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon release of any Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with Section 5.2(b) or 5.2(c) of the Credit Agreement, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released from its obligations hereunder.

(c) Upon the occurrence of certain events and on the terms and conditions set forth and described in Section 5.2(a) of the Credit Agreement, certain other Subsidiaries of Borrower may become Subsidiary Guarantors for purposes hereof and become a party hereto by executing and delivering to Agent a Joinder Agreement.

28. Avoidance Provisions. It is the intent of each Guarantor, the Agent and the Lenders that in any case or proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any similar federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law or any other Insolvency Law (a “Proceeding”), such Guarantor’s maximum obligation hereunder shall equal, but not exceed, the maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Agent and the Lenders) to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Guarantor in such Proceeding as a result of Applicable Law, including, without limitation, (a) Section 548 of the

N-14

Bankruptcy Code and (b) 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 Applicable Laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Agent and the Lenders) shall be determined in any such Proceeding are referred to as the “Avoidance Provisions”. Accordingly, to the extent that the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Obligations for which such Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, as of the time any of the Obligations are deemed to have been incurred under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Agent and the Lenders), to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions. This Section is 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 Guarantor hereunder to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, and no 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.

29. Effect of this Guaranty. That certain First Amended and Restated Guaranty, dated as of March 17, 2016, by the Guarantors to and for the benefit of the Agent (as defined therein) and the Lenders (as defined therein) (the “Existing Guaranty”) shall be amended and restated in its entirety by this Guaranty, and the Existing Guaranty shall hereafter be of no further force and effect and shall be deemed replaced and superseded in all respects by this Guaranty. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that this Guaranty does not constitute a novation, termination, extinguishment or discharge of the “Obligations” under the Existing Guaranty, which shall continue under this Guaranty.

30. Judgment Currency. For the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court if it is necessary to convert a sum due from the Guarantor hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (i.e. Dollars) (the “Specified Currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase the Specified Currency with such other currency at the Agent’s main Cleveland, Ohio office on the Business Day preceding that on which final, non-appealable judgment is given. The obligations of the Guarantor in respect of any sum due hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the Specified Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by any Lender (including the Agent), as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender (including the Agent), as the case may be, may in accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the Specified Currency with such other currency. If the amount of the Specified Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender (including the Agent), as the case may be, in the Specified Currency, the Guarantor agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender (including the Agent), as the case may be, against such loss, and to pay such additional amounts upon demand from Agent.
