This Agreement (including the schedules hereto), the Presentation, the financial statements described in Section 5.5 and the documents, certificates or other writings (including the financial statements required to be delivered hereunder) delivered to the Purchasers by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (this Agreement, the Presentation and such documents, certificates or other writings and such financial statements delivered to each Purchaser, prior to or on September 22, 2021 being referred to, collectively, as the “Disclosure Documents”), taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made. Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Documents, since December 31, 2020 there has been no change in the financial condition, operations, business, properties or prospects of the Company, the Trust and their respective Subsidiaries except changes that could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Each such Subsidiary has the corporate or other power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease and to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact.

(d) No Subsidiary is subject to any legal, regulatory, contractual or other restriction (other than the agreements listed on Schedule 5.4 and customary limitations imposed by corporate law or similar statutes) restricting the ability of such Subsidiary to pay dividends out of profits or make any other similar distributions of profits to the Company, the Trust or any of their Subsidiaries that owns outstanding shares of capital stock or similar equity interests of such Subsidiary.

- 6 -

Section 5.6. Compliance with Laws, Other Instruments, Etc. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company and the Trust of this Agreement, and the Notes as applicable, will not (i) contravene, result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any Lien in respect of any property of the Company, the Trust or any of their respective Subsidiaries under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan, purchase or credit agreement, lease, corporate charter or by‑laws, shareholders agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company, the Trust or any of their respective Subsidiaries is bound or by which the Company, the Trust or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties may be bound or affected, (ii) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable to the Company, the Trust or any of their respective Subsidiaries or (iii) violate any provision of any statute or other rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to the Company, the Trust or any of their respective Subsidiaries. The Company is not subject to any borrowing base requirements that are more restrictive than those in the Material Credit Facility described in clause (a) of the definition hereof.

Section 5.7. Governmental Authorizations, Etc. No consent, approval or authorization of, or registration, filing or declaration with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Company or the Trust of this Agreement or the Notes, as applicable.

Section 5.8. Litigation; Observance of Agreements, Statutes and Orders. (a) There are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company or the Trust, threatened against or affecting the Company, the Trust or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any property of the Company, the Trust or any of their respective Subsidiaries in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any Governmental Authority that could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Neither the Company, the Trust nor any of their respective Subsidiaries is (i) in default under any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound, (ii) in violation of any order, judgment, decree or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority or (iii) in violation of any applicable law, ordinance, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority (including, without limitation, Environmental Laws, the USA PATRIOT Act or any of the other laws and regulations that are referred to in Section 5.16), which default or violation could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.9. Taxes. The Company, the Trust and their respective Subsidiaries have filed all tax returns that are required to have been filed in any jurisdiction, and have paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes and assessments levied upon them or their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent such taxes and assessments have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent, except for any taxes and assessments (i) the amount of which, individually or in the aggregate, is not Material or (ii) the amount, applicability or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by

- 7 -

appropriate proceedings and with respect to which the Company, the Trust or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, has established adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP. The Company knows of no basis for any other tax or assessment that could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Company, the Trust and their respective Subsidiaries in respect of U.S. federal, state or other taxes for all fiscal periods are adequate. The U.S. federal income tax liabilities of the Company, the Trust and their respective Subsidiaries have been finally determined (whether by reason of completed audits or the statute of limitations having run) for all fiscal years up to and including the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

Section 5.10. Title to Property; Leases. The Company, the Trust and their respective Subsidiaries have good and sufficient title to their respective properties that individually or in the aggregate are Material, including all such properties reflected in the most recent audited balance sheet referred to in Section 5.5 or purported to have been acquired by the Company, the Trust or any of their respective Subsidiaries after such date (except as sold or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business), in each case free and clear of Liens prohibited by this Agreement. All leases that individually or in the aggregate are Material are valid and subsisting and are in full force and effect except where the failure to be in full force and effect could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.11. Licenses, Permits, Etc. (a) The Company, the Trust and their respective Subsidiaries own or possess all licenses, permits, franchises, authorizations, patents, copyrights, proprietary software, service marks, trademarks and trade names, or rights thereto, that individually or in the aggregate are Material, without known conflict with the rights of others.

(b) To the best knowledge of the Company, no product or service of the Company, the Trust or any of their respective Subsidiaries infringes in any material respect any license, permit, franchise, authorization, patent, copyright, proprietary software, service xxxx, trademark, trade name or other right owned by any other Person.

(c) To the best knowledge of the Company and the Trust, there is no Material violation by any Person of any right of the Company, the Trust or any of their respective Subsidiaries with respect to any license, permit, franchise, authorization, patent, copyright, proprietary software, service xxxx, trademark, trade name or other right owned or used by the Company, the Trust or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

In the case of each prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment, together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable Make‑Whole Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and Make‑Whole Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note.

Section 8.5. Purchase of Notes. The Company will not and will not permit any Affiliate to purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except (a) upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes or (b) pursuant to an offer to purchase made by the Company or an Affiliate pro rata to the holders of all Notes at the time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions. Any such offer shall provide each holder with sufficient information to enable it to make an informed decision with respect to such offer, and shall remain open for at least 15 Business Days. If the holders of more than 50% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding accept such offer, the Company shall promptly notify the remaining holders of such fact and the expiration date for the acceptance by holders of Notes of such offer shall be extended by the number of days necessary to give each such remaining holder at least five (5) Business Days from its receipt of such notice to accept such offer. The Company will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment, prepayment or purchase of Notes pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes.

Section 8.6. Make‑Whole Amount. “Make‑Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make‑Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make‑Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Called Principal” means, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a

- 20 -

discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on such Note is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, .50% over the yield to maturity implied by the ask‑side yield(s) reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on‑the‑run U.S. Treasury securities (“Reported”) having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be determined by (a) converting U.S. Treasury xxxx quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between the ask‑side yields Reported for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on‑the‑run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (1) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, .50% over the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (1) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360‑day year composed of twelve 30‑day months and calculated to two decimal places, that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.

- 21 -

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under such Note, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.4 or Section 12.1.

“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

Section 8.7. Payments Due on Non‑Business Days. Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding (but without limiting the requirement in Section 8.2 that the notice of any optional prepayment specify a Business Day as the date fixed for such prepayment), (x) subject to clause (y), any payment of interest on any Note that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day; and (y) any payment of principal of or Make‑Whole Amount on any Note (including principal due on the Maturity Date of such Note) that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day.

Section 8.8. Change of Control Prepayment. (a) Promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days of any Responsible Officer becoming aware that a Change of Control has occurred (which shall be deemed to have occurred on the actual closing of any transaction which constitutes a Change of Control within the meaning of clause (b) of the definition of “Change of Control”), the Trust and the Company shall give written notice (the “Company/Trust Notice”) of such fact to all holders of the Notes.

(b) The Company/Trust Notice shall (i) describe the facts and circumstances of such Change of Control in reasonable detail, (ii) refer to this Section 8.8 and the rights of the holders hereunder and state that a Change of Control has occurred, (iii) contain an offer by the Company to prepay the entire unpaid principal amount of Notes held by each holder, together with interest thereon to the prepayment date selected by the Company with respect to each Note but without any Make‑Whole Amount with respect to each such Note, which prepayment shall be on a date specified in the Company/Trust Notice, which date shall be a Business Day not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days after such Company/Trust Notice is given and (iv) request each holder to notify the Company in writing by a stated date (the “Change of Control Response Date”), which date is not less than 15 days after such holder’s receipt of the Company/Trust Notice, of its acceptance or rejection of such prepayment offer. If a holder does not notify the Company as provided above, then the holder shall be deemed to have rejected such offer.

- 22 -

(c) On the prepayment date specified in the Company/Trust Notice, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes held by each holder of Notes who has accepted such prepayment offer (in accordance with subclause (iv) of subsection (b)), together with interest thereon to the prepayment date with respect to each such Note but without payment of any Make‑Whole Amount with respect thereto shall become due and payable.

SECTION 9. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.

From the Execution Date until the Closing and thereafter, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Company covenants that:

Section 9.1. Compliance with Laws. Without limiting Section 10.4, the Company and the Trust will, and will cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, comply with all laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations to which each of them is subject, including, without limitation, ERISA, Environmental Laws, the USA PATRIOT Act and the other laws and regulations that are referred to in Section 5.16, and will obtain and maintain in effect all licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations necessary to the ownership of their respective properties or to the conduct of their respective businesses, in each case to the extent necessary to ensure that non‑compliance with such laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations or failures to obtain or maintain in effect such licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.2. Insurance. The Company and the Trust will, and will cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to their respective properties and businesses against such casualties and contingencies, of such types, on such terms and in such amounts (including deductibles, co‑insurance and self‑insurance, if adequate reserves are maintained with respect thereto) as is customary in the case of entities of established reputations engaged in the same or a similar business and similarly situated.

Section 9.3. Maintenance of Properties. The Company and the Trust will, and will cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, maintain and keep, or cause to be maintained and kept, their respective properties in good repair, working order and condition (other than ordinary wear and tear), so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times, provided that this Section shall not prevent the Company, the Trust or any their respective Subsidiaries from discontinuing the operation and the maintenance of any of their properties if such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of their business and the Company and the Trust have concluded that such discontinuance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.4. Payment of Taxes and Claims. The Company and the Trust will, and will cause each of their Subsidiaries to, file all tax returns required to be filed in any jurisdiction and to pay and discharge all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes, assessments, governmental charges, or levies imposed on them or any of their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent the same have become due and payable and before they have

- 23 -

become delinquent and all claims for which sums have become due and payable that have or might become a Lien on properties or assets of the Company, the Trust or any of their respective Subsidiary, provided that neither the Company, the Trust nor any of their respective Subsidiaries need pay any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim if (i) the amount, applicability or validity thereof is contested by the Company, the Trust or such Subsidiary on a timely basis in good faith and in appropriate proceedings, and the Company, the Trust or a Subsidiary has established adequate reserves therefor in accordance with GAAP on the books of the Company, the Trust or such Subsidiary or (ii) the nonpayment of all such taxes, assessments, charges, levies and claims could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.5. Corporate Existence, Etc. (a) Subject to Section 10.2, the Company and the Trust will at all times preserve and keep their existence as a partnership and real estate investment trust, respectively, in full force and effect. Subject to Section 10.2, the Company and the Trust will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect the corporate existence of each of their respective Subsidiaries (unless merged into the Company or a Wholly‑Owned Subsidiary) and all rights and franchises of the Company, the Trust and their respective Subsidiaries unless, in the good faith judgment of the Company or the Trust, the termination of or failure to preserve and keep in full force and effect such corporate existence, right or franchise could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) The Trust will at all times (a) be the sole general partner of the Company, (b) own not less than 51% of the partnership interests in the Company, and in any event the largest percentage interest of any partner in the Company and (c) be responsible for making all major and day‑to‑day operational and management decisions to be made by the Company in the conduct of its business. Without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, the Trust shall not own any assets other than its interest in the Company as a general partner and a limited partner, cash, Short‑term Investments and the property described in Schedule 5.23.

Section 9.6. Books and Records. The Company and the Trust will, and will cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, maintain proper books of record and account in conformity with GAAP and all applicable requirements of any Governmental Authority having legal or regulatory jurisdiction over the Company, the Trust or such Subsidiary, as the case may be. The Company and the Trust will, and will cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, keep books, records and accounts which, in reasonable detail, accurately reflect all transactions and dispositions of assets. The Company, the Trust and their respective Subsidiaries have devised a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that their respective books, records, and accounts accurately reflect all transactions and dispositions of assets and the Company and the Trust will, and will cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, continue to maintain such system.

Section 9.7. Subsidiary Guarantors. (a) The Trust will cause each of its Subsidiaries that guarantees or otherwise becomes liable at any time, whether as a borrower or an additional or co‑borrower or otherwise, for or in respect of any Indebtedness under any Material Credit Facility to concurrently therewith:

- 24 -

(a) enter into an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders providing for the guaranty by such Subsidiary, on a joint and several basis with all other such Subsidiaries of the Trust, of (x) the prompt payment in full when due of all amounts payable by the Company or the Trust pursuant to the Notes (whether for principal, interest, Make‑Whole Amount or otherwise) and this Agreement, including, without limitation, all indemnities, fees and expenses payable by the Company or the Trust thereunder and (y) the prompt, full and faithful performance, observance and discharge by the Company or the Trust of each and every covenant, agreement, undertaking and provision required pursuant to the Notes or this Agreement to be performed, observed or discharged by it (a “Subsidiary Guaranty”); and

(b) deliver the following to each of holder of a Note:

(i) an executed counterpart of such Subsidiary Guaranty;

(ii) a certificate signed by an authorized responsible officer of such Subsidiary containing representations and warranties on behalf of such Subsidiary to the same effect, mutatis mutandis, as those contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9, 5.10, 5.11, 5.12, 5.15, 5.16, 5.17 and 5.18 of this Agreement (but with respect to such Subsidiary and such Subsidiary Guaranty rather than the Company);

(iii) all documents as may be reasonably requested by the Required Holders to evidence the due organization, continuing existence and good standing of such Subsidiary and the due authorization by all requisite action on the part of such Subsidiary of the execution and delivery of such Subsidiary Guaranty and the performance by such Subsidiary of its obligations thereunder; and

(iv) an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders covering such matters relating to such Subsidiary and such Subsidiary Guaranty as the Required Holders may reasonably request.

(b) Subject and subordinate to the requirements of Section 9.7(a), at the election of the Trust and by written notice to each holder of Notes, any Subsidiary Guarantor may be discharged from all of its obligations and liabilities under its Subsidiary Guaranty and shall be automatically released from its obligations thereunder without the need for the execution or delivery of any other document by the holders or any other Person, provided, in each case, that (i) after giving effect to such release no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) no amount is then due and payable under such Subsidiary Guaranty, (iii) if any fee or other form of consideration is given to any holder of Indebtedness of the Company expressly for the purpose of such release, holders of Notes shall receive equivalent consideration and (iv) each holder of Notes shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer to the foregoing effect and setting forth the information (including reasonably detailed computations) reasonably required to establish compliance with the foregoing requirements.

Section 9.8. Most Favored Lender. (a) If at any time a Material Credit Facility shall contain any financial covenant that relates to one or more numerical measures of the financial condition or results of operations (consolidated or otherwise) of the Company or the Trust

- 25 -

(however expressed and whether stated as a ratio, as a fixed threshold, as an event of default, or otherwise, including, without limitation, financial covenants of the type included in Section 6.19, 6.21(iii) and 6.21(iv) of the Material Credit Facility described in clause (a) of the definition of “Material Credit Facility”) (or any thereof shall be amended, restated or otherwise modified) and such financial covenant is not contained in this Agreement or would be more beneficial, directly or indirectly, to the holders of the Notes than the financial covenants in Sections 10.7 through 10.10 of this Agreement as of the date hereof (any such financial covenant, a “Financial Covenant”), then the Company shall promptly (but in any event within ten Business Days from the occurrence thereof) provide written notice thereof to the holders of the Notes, which notice shall refer specifically to this Section 9.8 and shall describe in reasonable detail the Financial Covenant and the relevant ratios or thresholds contained therein. Thereupon, such Financial Covenant shall be deemed automatically incorporated by reference into Section 10 of this Agreement, mutatis mutandis, as if set forth fully herein, without any further action required on the part of any Person, effective as of the date when such Financial Covenant became effective under such Material Credit Facility. Upon the request of the Required Holders, the Company shall enter into an additional agreement or an amendment to this Agreement (as the Required Holders may request), evidencing the incorporation of such Financial Covenant into this Agreement substantially as provided for in the Material Credit Facility. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section shall not apply to covenants contained in any agreements or documents evidencing or securing Non‑recourse Indebtedness.

(b) So long as no Default or Event of Default is then in effect, any Financial Covenant incorporated into this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.8(a) shall automatically without any action required to be taken by the Company or any holder of Notes (i) be subject to any subsequent waiver of the correlative covenant to such Financial Covenant under the Material Credit Facility for the same time period as waived thereunder, (ii) be deemed amended, restated or otherwise modified in this Agreement to the same effect as the correlative covenant to such Financial Covenant shall be amended, restated or otherwise modified under the Material Credit Facility and (iii) be deemed deleted from this Agreement at such time as the correlative covenant to such Financial Covenant shall be deleted from the Material Credit Facility or at such time as the applicable Material Credit Facility shall be terminated and, in the case of any such termination, no amounts of principal or interest shall be outstanding thereunder. In any such case under clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above, the Company shall promptly (but in any event within five Business Days from the occurrence thereof) provide written notice thereof to the holders of the Notes, which notice shall refer specifically to this Section 9.8, shall include a statement that no Default or Event of Default is then in existence and shall describe in reasonable detail the relevant waiver, amendment, restatement, modification or deletion of such Financial Covenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the financial covenants contained in Sections 10.7 through 10.10 hereof be deleted or amended, restated or otherwise modified pursuant to this Section 9.8 in a way that would be less beneficial, directly or indirectly, to the holders of the Notes than such Sections 10.7 through 10.10 as in effect on the date hereof (and as amended or modified other than pursuant to Section 9.8(a)). Upon the request of the Company, the holders of the Notes shall enter into an additional agreement, waiver or an amendment to this Agreement (as the Required Holders may request), evidencing such waiver, amendment, restatement, modification or deletion of such Financial Covenant in the Material Credit Facility.

- 26 -

(c) To the extent that the Company shall directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, by way of fee, additional interest or otherwise, as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by any financier under any Material Credit Facility of any waiver, amendment, restatement, modification or deletion of any Financial Covenant under such Material Credit Facility for the purpose of curing, avoiding or potentially avoiding a current or future default under such Material Credit Facility, the Company shall pay equivalent consideration on the same terms, ratably to each holder of Notes (based, in the case of the holders of the Notes, on the outstanding balance of the Notes, and in the case of the lenders under the Material Credit Facility, the commitments of such lenders under the Material Credit Facility).

Section 9.9. Purchasers Covenant Related to Subsidiary Guaranty. The Purchasers (and their successors and assigns) hereby expressly agree to the provisions of the fourth paragraph of Section 1 of the Subsidiary Guaranty.

Section 9.10. Rating. The Company shall at all times maintain a Debt Rating for the Notes from an Acceptable NRSRO and deliver a Ratings Letter to the holders of Notes at least annually.

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

SECTION 10. NEGATIVE COVENANTS.

From the Execution Date until the Closing and thereafter, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Company covenants that:

Section 10.1. Transactions with Affiliates. The Trust and the Company will not and will not permit any of their Subsidiaries to enter into directly or indirectly any Material transaction or group of related transactions (including without limitation the purchase, lease, sale or exchange of properties of any kind or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate (other than the Company, the Trust or another Subsidiary), except in the ordinary course and pursuant to the reasonable requirements of the Company’s, the Trust’s or such Subsidiary’s business and upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to the Company, the Trust or such Subsidiary than would be obtainable in a comparable arm’s‑length transaction with a Person not an Affiliate and those in existence as of the Closing as set forth on Schedule 5.4 to this Agreement.

Section 10.2. Merger, Consolidation, Etc. The Trust and the Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, consolidate with or merge with any other Person or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets in a single transaction or series of transactions to any Person unless:

(a) the successor formed by such consolidation or the survivor of such merger or the Person that acquires by conveyance, transfer or lease all or substantially all of the assets of the

(c) immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such transaction or each transaction in any such series of transactions, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

No such conveyance, transfer or lease of substantially all of the assets of the Company or the Trust shall have the effect of releasing the Company, the Trust or any successor partnership, real estate investment trust, corporation or limited liability company that shall theretofore have become such in the manner prescribed in this Section 10.2 from its liability under this Agreement or the Notes, as applicable.

Section 10.3. Line of Business. The Company and the Trust will not and will not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to engage in any business if, as a result, the general nature of the business in which the Company, the Trust and their respective Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, would then be engaged would be substantially changed from the general nature of the business in which the Company, the Trust and their respective Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are engaged on the date of this Agreement as described in Schedule 10.3.

Section 10.4. Economic Sanctions, Etc. The Company and the Trust will not, and will not permit any Controlled Entity to (a) become (including by virtue of being owned or controlled by a Blocked Person), own or control a Blocked Person or (b) directly or indirectly have any investment in or engage in any dealing or transaction (including any investment, dealing or transaction involving the proceeds of the Notes) with any Person if such investment, dealing or transaction (i) would cause any holder or any affiliate of such holder to be in violation of, or subject to sanctions under, any law or regulation applicable to such holder, or (ii) is prohibited by or subject to sanctions under any U.S. Economic Sanctions Laws.

- 28 -

Section 10.5. Liens. Neither the Company nor the Trust will, nor will either of them permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or permit to exist (upon the happening of a contingency or otherwise) any Lien on or with respect to any property or asset (including, without limitation, any document or instrument in respect of goods or accounts receivable) of the Company, the Trust or any such Subsidiary, whether now owned or held or hereafter acquired, or any income or profits therefrom, or assign or otherwise convey any right to receive income or profits, except:

Any new development project engaged in by the Company (or any Subsidiary or Unconsolidated Affiliate thereof), the Trust or any Subsidiary thereof, before any vertical construction commences on any phase of such project, shall be either (i) at least fifty percent (50%) pre‑leased (based on the gross leasable area of the improvements to the development, or the phase of the development project being developed, excluding outlots), including all anchors in such phase (it being agreed that Company shall receive a credit against such pre-lease requirement for any space to be occupied by an anchor that has been conveyed to such anchor), or under a purchase agreement to sell and all construction bids shall be in place, and any such development shall continue to be deemed an undeveloped parcel until such time as construction commences, or (ii) sufficiently pre‑leased such that based on such Leases the gross income from such Leases upon completion of such project shall equal or exceed projected operating expenses (including reserves for expenses not paid on a monthly basis). For purposes of this Section 10.13, the term “development” shall include the new construction of a shopping center complex or the substantial renovation of improvements to real property which materially change the character or size thereof, but shall not include the addition of amenities or other related facilities to existing Real Estate which is already used principally for shopping centers; provided, however, that the term “development” shall not include demolition of existing structures performed by the Company or the addition of an anchor store to an existing shopping center project, provided that the construction of such improvements is performed by the tenant, and the Company (or any Subsidiary or Unconsolidated Affiliate thereof), the Trust or its respective Subsidiary, as applicable, is only obligated to reimburse such tenant for a fixed amount with respect to the cost of such construction upon completion of such construction by such tenant. The undeveloped projects of the Company, the Trust and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing are set forth on Schedule 10.13 hereto. Nothing herein shall prohibit the Company, the Trust or any of their respective Subsidiaries thereof from entering into an agreement to acquire Real Estate which has been developed and initially leased by another Person. For purposes of this Section 10.13, property shall be deemed to be in development at all times that it is Under Development.

Although it will not be a Default or an Event of Default if the Company fails to comply with any provision of Section 10 on or after the Execution Date and prior to the Closing, if such failure occurs and is continuing, then any of the Purchasers may elect not to purchase the Notes on the date of the Closing.

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

Section 12.3. Rescission. At any time after any Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1(b) or (c), the holders of not less than 50% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Company, may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if (a) the Company has paid all overdue interest on the Notes, all principal of and Make‑Whole Amount, if any, on any Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue principal and Make‑Whole Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes, at the applicable Default Rate, (b) neither the Company nor any other Person shall have paid any amounts which have become due solely by reason of such declaration, (c) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than non‑payment of amounts that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 17, and (d) no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of any monies due pursuant hereto or to the Notes.

No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement, any Subsidiary Guaranty or any Note upon any holder thereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Company under Section 15, the Company will pay to the holder of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such holder incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 12, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements.

other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with this Section 20, (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) any Institutional Investor to which it sells or offers to sell such Note or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 20), (v) any Person from which it offers to purchase any Security of the Company or the Trust (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 20), (vi) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser, (vii) the NAIC or the SVO or, in each case, any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Purchaser’s investment portfolio, or (viii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which such Purchaser is a party or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under such Purchaser’s Notes, this Agreement or any Subsidiary Guaranty. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 20 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by the Company in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the Company embodying this Section 20.

In the event that as a condition to receiving access to information relating to the Company, the Trust or their respective Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, any Purchaser or holder of a Note is required to agree to a confidentiality undertaking (whether through IntraLinks, another secure website, a secure virtual workspace or otherwise) which is different from this Section 20, this Section 20 shall not be amended thereby and, as between such Purchaser or such holder, the Company and the Trust, this Section 20 shall supersede any such other confidentiality undertaking.

SECTION 21. SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASER.

Each Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates or another Purchaser or any one of such other Purchaser’s Affiliates (a “Substitute Purchaser”) as the purchaser of the Notes that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, by written notice to the Company, which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser and such Substitute Purchaser, shall contain such Substitute Purchaser’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Substitute Purchaser of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 6. Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), shall be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser in lieu of such original Purchaser. In the event that such Substitute Purchaser is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder and such Substitute Purchaser thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Substitute Purchaser, upon

- 42 -

receipt by the Company of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Substitute Purchaser as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser, but shall refer to such original Purchaser, and such original Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement.

SECTION 22. TRUST GUARANTY.

Section 22.1. Guaranty. The Trust hereby guarantees to each holder of any Note at any time outstanding (a) the prompt payment in full in Dollars when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, by mandatory or optional prepayment or otherwise) of the principal of and Make‑Whole Amount, if any, and interest on the Notes (including, without limitation, any interest on any overdue principal and Make‑Whole Amount, if any) and all other amounts from time to time owing by the Company under this Agreement and under the Notes (including, without limitation, costs, expenses and taxes in accordance with the terms hereof), and (b) the prompt performance and observance by the Company of all covenants, agreements and conditions on its part to be performed and observed hereunder, in each case strictly in accordance with the terms thereof (such payments and other obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Trust hereby further agrees that if the Company shall default in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Trust will (x) promptly pay or perform the same, without any demand, proof of demand or filing or notice whatsoever, and without deduction by reason of any set off, defense or counterclaim of the Company and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration, by mandatory or optional prepayment or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal and (y) pay to the holder of any Note such amounts, to the extent lawful, as shall be sufficient to pay the costs and expenses of collection or of otherwise enforcing any of such holder’s rights under this Agreement, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees.

All obligations of the Trust under Sections 22.1 and 22.2 shall survive the transfer of any Note, and any obligations of the Trust under Sections 22.1 and 22.2 with respect to which the underlying obligation of the Company is expressly stated to survive the payment of any Note shall also survive payment of such Note.

Section 22.2. Guaranty Obligations Unconditional. (a) The obligations of the Trust under Section 22,1 constitute a present and continuing guaranty of payment and not collectability and are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement, the Notes or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any Guaranty of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 22.2 that the obligations of the Trust hereunder shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Trust hereunder which shall remain absolute, unconditional and irrevocable as described above:

- 43 -

(1) any amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement (other than Section 22.1 or 22.2), any of the Notes or any Subsidiary Guaranty, or any assignment or transfer thereof, including without limitation the renewal or extension of the time of payment of any of the Notes or the granting of time in respect of such payment thereof, or of any furnishing or acceptance of security or any additional guarantee or any release of any security or guarantee so furnished or accepted for any of the Notes;

(2) any waiver, consent, extension, granting of time, forbearance, indulgence or other action or inaction under or in respect of this Agreement, the Notes, any Guaranty or any Subsidiary Guaranty, or any exercise or non‑exercise of any right, remedy or power in respect hereof or thereof;

(3) any bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or similar proceedings with respect to the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person or the properties or creditors of any of them;

(4) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default under, or any invalidity or any unenforceability of, or any misrepresentation, irregularity or other defect in, this Agreement, the Notes or any other agreement;

(5) any transfer of any assets to or from the Company, including without limitation any transfer or purported transfer to the Company from any Person, any invalidity, illegality of, or inability to enforce, any such transfer or purported transfer, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any Person, any change in the ownership of any shares of capital stock or other equity or ownership interests of the Company, or any change whatsoever in the objects, capital structure, constitution or business of the Company;

(6) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, on the part of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person to perform or comply with, or the impossibility or illegality of performance by the Company or any other Person of, any term of this Agreement, the Notes, any Guaranty, any Subsidiary Guaranty or any other agreement;

(7) any suit or other action brought by, or any judgment in favor of, any beneficiaries or creditors of, the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation any suit or action in any way attacking or involving any issue, matter or thing in respect of this Agreement, any of the Notes, any Guaranty, any Subsidiary Guaranty or any other agreement;

(8) any lack or limitation of status or of power, incapacity or disability of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person providing a Guaranty of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations; or

- 44 -

(9) any other thing, event, happening, matter, circumstance or condition whatsoever, not in any way limited to the foregoing (other than the indefeasible payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations).

(b) The Trust hereby unconditionally waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever and any requirement that any holder of a Note exhaust any right, power or remedy against the Company under this Agreement or the Notes or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other Person under any other Guaranty of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(c) In the event that the Trust shall at any time pay any amount on account of the Guaranteed Obligations or take any other action in performance of its obligations hereunder, the Trust shall not exercise any subrogation or other rights hereunder or under the Notes and the Trust hereby waives all rights it may have to exercise any such subrogation or other rights, and all other remedies that it may have against the Company, in respect of any payment made hereunder unless and until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full. Prior to the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, if any amount shall be paid to the Trust on account of any such subrogation rights or other remedy, notwithstanding the waiver thereof, such amount shall be received in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Notes and shall forthwith be paid to such holders to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof. The Trust agrees that its obligations under this Section 22 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment (including payment in full) by or on behalf of the Company is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of a Note, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, all as though such amount had not been paid.

(d) If an event permitting the acceleration of the maturity of the principal amount of the Notes shall at any time have occurred and be continuing and such acceleration (and the effect thereof on the Guaranteed Obligations) shall at such time be prevented by reason of the pendency against the Company or any other Person (other than the Trust as to itself) of a case or proceeding under a bankruptcy or insolvency law, the Trust agrees that, for purposes of the guarantee in this Section 22 and the Trust’s obligations under this Agreement and the Guaranties, the maturity of the principal amount of the Notes shall be deemed to have been accelerated (with a corresponding effect on the Guaranteed Obligations) with the same effect as if the holders of the Notes had accelerated the same in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the Trust shall forthwith pay such principal amount, any interest thereon, any Make‑Whole Amount and any other amounts guaranteed hereunder without further notice or demand.

(e) The guarantee in Section 22.1 is a continuing guarantee and shall apply to the Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising. Each default in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall give rise to a separate claim and cause of action hereunder, and separate claims or suits may be made and brought, as the case may be, hereunder as each such default occurs.

- 45 -

Section 22.3. Guaranties Endorsed on the Notes. Each Note shall have endorsed thereon a Guaranty of the Trust in the forms of Note in Schedule 1-A and 1-B.

Until such time as such amendment shall have been executed and delivered by the Company, the Guarantors and the Required Holders (i) such financial covenants, ratio and other requirements, and all financial statements and other documents required to be delivered under this Agreement, shall be calculated and reported as if such change had not occurred and (ii) the Company shall provide to each holder of a Note that is an Institutional Investor financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in generally accepted accounting principles.

Section 23.4. Construction, Etc. Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained

- 46 -

herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.

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

(b) The Company and the Trust consent to process being served by or on behalf of any holder of Notes in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 23.7(a) by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to it at its address specified in Section 18 or at such other address of which such holder shall then have been notified pursuant to said Section. The Company and the Trust agree that such service upon receipt (i) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (ii) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it. Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service.

- 47 -

The holders of Notes have agreed to the terms of this Section 23.8 solely based upon the representation and covenant of Company and the Trust that the Trust does not and will not own any assets other than the Attachable Assets and the Other Permitted Assets. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 23.8 to the contrary, the foregoing limitation on liability and recourse to the Trust (as a Guarantor or general partner of Company) shall be null and void and of no force and effect, and the Purchasers and holders of the Notes shall have full recourse against the Trust, individually as a Guarantor and in its capacity as general partner of Company, and to all of its assets (including, without limitation, the Other Permitted Assets) in the event that the Trust shall now or at any time hereafter own any asset other than or in addition to the Other Permitted Assets and the Attachable Assets. Nothing herein shall limit the rights of the holders of Notes against the Company.

LINE OF BUSINESS

Our business objective is to own and manage high quality shopping centers that generate cash flow for distribution to our shareholders and that have the potential for capital appreciation. To achieve this objective, we seek to acquire, develop, or redevelop shopping centers that meet our investment criteria. We also seek to recycle capital through the sale of land or shopping centers that we deem to be fully valued or that no longer meet our investment criteria. We use debt to finance our activities and focus on managing the amount, structure, and terms of our debt to limit the risks inherent in debt financing. From time to time, we enter into joint venture arrangements where we believe we can benefit by owning a partial interest in shopping centers and by earning fees for managing the centers for our partners.

We invest in primarily large, multi‑anchor shopping centers that include national chain store tenants, market dominant supermarket tenants selling products that satisfy everyday needs and mixed-use property containing a retail component. We also own parcels of developable land.
