ARTICLE II.

THE CREDIT

2.1. Advances.

(a) Generally. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lenders severally agree to make Advances through the Administrative Agent to the Borrower in Dollars from time to time prior to, with respect to the Initial Aggregate Commitment, the Availability Termination Date, provided that:

(i) the making of any such Advance will not cause the aggregate original principal amount of all Advances to exceed the Aggregate Commitment;

(ii) the making of any such Advance will not cause the Unencumbered Leverage Ratio to exceed the maximum percentage then permitted under Section 6.21(iii); and

(iii) the Lenders shall not be obligated to make an Advance in respect of the Initial Aggregate Commitment on more than three (3) occasions (including any Advance made on the Agreement Effective Date) unless each Lender shall otherwise agree.

-21-

Subject to Section 2.2, the Advances may be Floating Rate Advances or LIBOR Rate Advances. Each Lender shall fund its Percentage of each such Advance and no Lender will be required to fund any amounts which would cause such Lender’s Loans to exceed its Commitment. This facility (“Facility”) is a term loan facility. Any Advances that are repaid may not be reborrowed. From and after the Agreement Effective Date, pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.22, one or more Lenders may agree to increase their Commitments, issue new Commitments, or make Additional Loans, in each case, at the times and on the terms and conditions agreed by such Lenders and the Borrower as set forth in the applicable Amendment Regarding Increase.

(b) Availability Termination Date. On the Availability Termination Date, the undrawn portion of the Initial Aggregate Commitment shall be permanently terminated, the Lenders shall have no further obligation to make Advances in respect of their respective portions of such undrawn Initial Aggregate Commitment hereunder, and the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent the Commitment Termination Fee, if any, as set forth in Section 2.5.

2.2. Ratable and Non Ratable Advances. Except as set forth in Section 2.22, Advances hereunder shall consist of Loans made by the Lenders ratably based on each such Lender’s Percentage. The Advances may be Floating Rate Advances, LIBOR Rate Advances or a combination thereof, selected by the Borrower in accordance with Sections 2.8 and 2.9.

2.3. Final Principal Payment. Any outstanding Advances, and all other unpaid Obligations shall be paid in full by the Borrower on the Facility Termination Date.

2.4. Unused Fee. Subject to the terms of this Section 2.4, if the Borrower requests Advances with an aggregate principal amount of less than the entire Initial Aggregate Commitment to be made on the Agreement Effective Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, an unused facility fee (the “Unused Fee”) equal to an aggregate amount computed on a daily basis from the Agreement Effective Date until the Availability Termination Date by multiplying (i) the Unused Fee Percentage applicable to such day, expressed as a per diem rate, times (ii) the amount of the unused Initial Aggregate Commitment on such day. The Unused Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter (for the prior calendar quarter) commencing on April 3, 2017; provided that, and notwithstanding the foregoing, if, on or prior to January 31, 2017, the Lenders shall make Advances pursuant to Section 2.1(a) with an aggregate principal amount of at least the entire Initial Aggregate Commitment, no Unused Fee shall be due and/or payable by the Borrower hereunder for any period.

2.5. Commitment Termination Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, on the Availability Termination Date, a commitment termination fee (the “Commitment Termination Fee”) equal to an aggregate amount computed by multiplying (i) 0.75%, times (ii) the amount of the unused Initial Aggregate Commitment. The Commitment Termination Fee, if any, shall be due and payable on the Availability Termination Date.

2.6. Other Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay all fees payable to the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers pursuant to (i) the Borrower’s letter agreement with the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger dated as of November 22, 2016 (the “Fee Letter”) and (ii) such other written agreements regarding this Agreement with any other of the Arrangers.

2.7. Minimum Amount of Each Advance. Each Advance shall be in the minimum amount of $25,000,000; provided, however, that any Advance may be in a lesser amount equal to the amount of the unused Aggregate Commitment.

-22-

2.8. Principal Payments.

(a) Optional. The Borrower may from time to time pay all or any part of outstanding Advances without penalty or premium other than, in each case, the Prepayment Premium then due, if any, which Prepayment Premium shall be paid concurrently with such prepayment. A Floating Rate Advance may be paid without prior notice to the Administrative Agent. A LIBOR Rate Advance may be paid on the last day of the applicable Interest Period or, if and only if the Borrower pays any amounts due to the Lenders under Sections 3.4 and 3.5 as a result of such prepayment, on a day prior to such last day. Unless otherwise directed by the Borrower by written notice to the Administrative Agent, all principal payments made when no Default has occurred and is continuing shall be applied to repay all outstanding Advances on a pro rata basis. If a Default has occurred and is continuing such principal payment shall be applied as provided in Section 8.5.

(b) Mandatory. Mandatory partial principal payments, together with the Prepayment Premium then due in respect of such payment, if any, shall be due from time to time if, (i) due to an increase in the aggregate amount of Unsecured Indebtedness of the Consolidated Group or any reduction in the Unencumbered Pool Value or in the Adjusted Unencumbered Pool NOI, whether by an Unencumbered Pool Property failing to continue to satisfy the requirement for qualification as a Qualifying Unencumbered Pool Property or by a reduction in the Unencumbered Pool Value or the Adjusted Unencumbered Pool NOI attributable to any Unencumbered Pool Property, the Unsecured Indebtedness of the Consolidated Group (excluding from such Unsecured Indebtedness any Guarantee Obligations) shall be in excess of the maximum amount permitted to be outstanding under clause (iii) of Section 6.21 or (ii) without limiting the effect of any other provision of this Agreement requiring such a principal payment, any of the Obligations described in clause (i) of Section 2.1(a) shall be in excess of the maximum amount set forth in the applicable clause. Such principal payments shall be in the amount needed to restore Borrower to compliance with such covenants or such maximum amount. Such mandatory principal payments shall be due and payable (i) in the case of any such reduction arising from results reported in a quarterly financial statement of Borrower and related Compliance Certificate, ten (10) Business Days after delivery of such quarterly financial statement and Compliance Certificate under Section 6.1 evidencing such reduction or (ii) in all other cases, ten (10) Business Days after Borrower’s receipt of written notice from the Administrative Agent of the existence of any condition requiring any such mandatory principal payment (which written notice shall include reasonably detailed evidence in support of such determination).

2.9. Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for New Advances. The Borrower shall select the Type of Advance and, in the case of each LIBOR Rate Advance, the LIBOR Interest Period applicable to each Advance from time to time in accordance with this Section or Section 2.10, as applicable. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a “Borrowing Notice”) in the form attached as Exhibit F and made a part hereof (i) not later than 1:00 p.m. New York, New York time on the Business Day immediately preceding the Borrowing Date of each Floating Rate Advance and (ii) not later than 10:00 a.m. New York, New York time, at least three (3) Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each LIBOR Rate Advance, which shall specify:

(i) the Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day, of such Advance,

(ii) the aggregate amount of such Advance,

(iii) the Type of Advance selected, and

-23-

(iv) in the case of each LIBOR Rate Advance, the LIBOR Interest Period applicable thereto.

Each Lender shall make available its Loan or Loans, in funds immediately available in New York, New York to the Administrative Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII on each Borrowing Date not later than noon (New York, New York time). The Administrative Agent will make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s aforesaid address.

No LIBOR Interest Period may end after the Facility Termination Date and, unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree in writing, in no event may there be more than seven (7) different LIBOR Interest Periods for LIBOR Rate Advances outstanding at any one time.

2.10. Conversion and Continuation of Outstanding Advances. Floating Rate Advances shall continue as Floating Rate Advances unless and until such Floating Rate Advances are converted into LIBOR Rate Advances. Each LIBOR Rate Advance shall continue as a LIBOR Rate Advance until the end of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, at which time such LIBOR Rate Advance shall be automatically converted into a Floating Rate Advance unless the Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent a “Conversion/Continuation Notice” requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such LIBOR Rate Advance either continue as a LIBOR Rate Advance for the same or another Interest Period or be converted to an Advance of another Type. Subject to the terms of Section 2.7, the Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of a Floating Rate Advance into a LIBOR Rate Advance and vice versa; provided that any conversion of any LIBOR Rate Advance shall be made on, and only on, the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a “Conversion/Continuation Notice”) of each conversion of an Advance to a LIBOR Rate Advance or continuation of a LIBOR Rate Advance not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York, New York time), at least three Business Days, in the case of a conversion into or continuation of a LIBOR Rate Advance, prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation, specifying:

(i) the requested date, which shall be a Business Day, of such conversion or continuation;

(ii) the aggregate amount and Type of the Advance which is to be converted or continued; and

(iii) the amount and Type(s) of Advance(s) into which such Advance is to be converted or continued and, in the case of a conversion into or continuation of a LIBOR Rate Advance, the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

2.11. Changes in Interest Rate, Etc. Each Floating Rate Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Advance is made or is converted from a LIBOR Rate Advance into a Floating Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.10 to but excluding the date it becomes due or is converted into a LIBOR Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.10 hereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate applicable to such Advance in effect from time to time. Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as a Floating Rate Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate. Each LIBOR Rate Advance shall bear interest from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the LIBOR Rate applicable to such LIBOR Rate Advance.

-24-

2.12. Rates Applicable After Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.9 or 2.10, during the continuance of a Default or Unmatured Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring consent of affected Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that no Advance may be made as, converted into or continued as a LIBOR Rate Advance. During the continuance of a Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring consent of affected Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that (i) each LIBOR Rate Advance shall bear interest for the remainder of the applicable Interest Period at the LIBOR Rate otherwise applicable to such LIBOR Rate Advance for such Interest Period plus 4% per annum and (ii) each Floating Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate otherwise applicable to the Floating Rate Advance plus 4% per annum; provided, however, that the Default Rate shall become applicable automatically if a Default occurs under Section 7.1 or 7.2, unless waived by the Required Lenders.

2.13. Method of Payment.

(i) All payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately available Dollars to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the applicable Lenders at the Administrative Agent’s address specified pursuant to Article XIII, or at any other Lending Installation of the Administrative Agent specified in writing by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, by noon (New York, New York time) on the date when due and shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the applicable terms of this Agreement.

(ii) As provided elsewhere herein, all Lenders’ interests in the Advances, and all Lenders’ interests in the Loan Documents shall be ratable undivided interests and none of such Lenders’ interests shall have priority over the others. Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender or amount to be applied or paid by the Administrative Agent to any Lender shall be paid promptly (on the same day as received by the Administrative Agent if received prior to noon (New York, New York time) on such day and otherwise on the next Business Day) by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Administrative Agent received at such Lender’s address specified pursuant to Article XIII or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Administrative Agent from such Lender. Payments received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders but not timely funded to the Lenders shall bear interest payable by the Administrative Agent at the Federal Funds Effective Rate from the date due until the date paid. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to charge the account of the Borrower maintained with Capital One, National Association for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder.

2.14. Notes; Telephonic Notices. Each Lender is hereby authorized to record the principal amount of each of its Loans and each repayment on the schedule attached to its Note, provided, however, that the failure to so record shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations under such Note. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders to extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections of Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any Authorized Officer. The Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written confirmation, if such confirmation is requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, of each telephonic notice signed by an Authorized Officer. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the records of

-25-

the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error. The Administrative Agent will at the request of the Borrower, from time to time, but not more often than monthly, provide Borrower with the amount of the outstanding Aggregate Commitment and the applicable interest rate for a LIBOR Rate Advance. Upon a Lender’s furnishing to Borrower an affidavit to such effect, if a Note is mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, Borrower shall deliver to such Lender, in substitution therefore, a new note containing the same terms and conditions as such Note being replaced.

2.15. Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis. Interest accrued on each Advance shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the date hereof, at maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at the repayment in full of the Advance. Interest, Unused Fees, and all other fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to noon (New York, New York time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.

2.16. Intentionally Omitted.

2.17. Notification of Advances, Interest Rates and Prepayments.

2.18. Lending Installations. Each Lender may book its Loans at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Notes shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of such Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, designate a Lending Installation through which Loans will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments are to be made.

2.19. Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the time at which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been, or will be, made. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day or (ii) in the case of payment by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Type of Loan. If such Lender so repays such amount and interest thereon to the Administrative Agent within one Business Day after such demand, all interest accruing on the Loan not funded by such Lender during such period shall be payable to such Lender when received from the Borrower.

-26-

2.20. Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender which (a) has demanded compensation from Borrower under Section 3.1 or 3.2, or (b) is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax pursuant to Section 3.5, or (c) cannot maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans at a suitable Lending Installation pursuant to Section 3.3 or (d) either voted against or failed to respond to any written request made by the Administrative Agent seeking approval of any amendment to or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, if at least the Required Lenders voted in favor of such proposed amendment or waiver or (e) is a Defaulting Lender; with a replacement bank or other financial institution, provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any applicable legal or regulatory requirements affecting the Lenders, (ii) no Default or (after notice thereof to Borrower) no Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) the Borrower shall repay (or the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par) all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement, (iv) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Sections 3.4 and 3.6 if any LIBOR Rate Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be prepaid (or purchased) other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (v) the replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender or not an Eligible Assignee, and the terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vi) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.3 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the processing fee referred to therein), (vii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 3.5 and (viii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights which the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

2.21. Usury. This Agreement, each Note and each other Loan Document are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of any Loan at a rate which could subject any Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the interest rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to any Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under any Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the applicable Loans until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of such Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to such Loan for so long as such Loan is outstanding.

2.22. Increase in Commitments; Additional Loans.

(a) Increase in Commitments. Borrower shall have the right exercisable no more than three (3) times, upon at least 10 Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, to request (i) increases in the Commitments or (ii) the making of additional Loans (the “Additional Loans”) by up to $100,000,000 to a maximum aggregate amount not to exceed $300,000,000 (reduced to the extent Borrower has repaid any Advances) by either adding new lenders as Lenders (subject to the Administrative Agent’s prior written approval of the identity of any such new lender if it is not an Eligible Assignee) or obtaining the agreement, which shall be at such Lender’s or Lenders’ sole discretion, of one or more of the then current Lenders to increase its or their Commitments or to make Additional Loans. Each such increase in the Commitments or the making of Additional Loans must be an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof. Such increases may be

-27-

increases in Commitments (prior to the Availability Termination Date or as otherwise agreed by the Lenders) or the making of Additional Term Loans or a combination thereof. Effecting any increase of the Commitments or the making of Additional Loans under this Section is subject to the following conditions precedent: (x) no Default or Unmatured Default has occurred, is then continuing or shall be in existence on the effective date of such increase of Commitments or making Additional Loans, (y) the representations and warranties (subject in all cases to all materiality qualifiers and other exceptions in such representations and warranties) contained in Article V shall be true and correct as of the effective date of such increase, except to the extent any such representation or warranty is stated to relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances not prohibited under the Loan Documents, and (z) the Administrative Agent shall have received an Amendment Regarding Increase by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the new lender or existing Lender providing such increase of Commitments or Additional Loans, a copy of which shall be forwarded to each Lender by the Administrative Agent promptly after execution thereof and all documentation and opinions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. In no event will any existing Lender be obligated to provide any portion of any such increase of Commitments or making of Additional Loans unless such Lender shall specifically agree in writing to provide such increase of Commitments or make Additional Loans at such time. On the effective date of any such increase of Commitments or making of Additional Loans, Borrower shall pay to the institutions arranging such increases such fees as may be agreed to by such institutions and the Borrower and to each new lender or then-current Lender providing such increase of Commitments or making Additional Loans the up-front fee agreed to between Borrower and such party. In addition, the Subsidiary Guarantors, if any, shall execute a consent to such increase of Commitments or making of Additional Loans ratifying and continuing their obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty. If, at any time when the Lenders still have an obligation to make further Loans pursuant to the terms hereof, a Person becomes a new Lender having a Commitment under this Agreement, or if any existing Lender is increasing its Commitment, such Lender shall on the date it becomes a Lender hereunder (or in the case of an existing Lender, increases its Commitment) (and as a condition thereto) purchase from the other Lenders its Percentage (determined with respect to the Lenders’ respective Commitments and after giving effect to the increase of Commitments) of any outstanding Loans, by making available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such other Lenders, in same day funds, an amount equal to (A) the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Loans to be purchased by such Lender, plus (B) interest accrued and unpaid to and as of such date on such portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Loans. The Lenders agree to cooperate in any required sale and purchase of outstanding Advances to achieve such result. In no event shall the aggregate Commitments and Loans exceed $300,000,000 without the approval of all Lenders which are not then Defaulting Lenders.

2.23. Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) the making of Loans under Section 2.1.(a) shall be made from the Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments; (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by them; (c) each payment of interest on Loans shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders; and (d) the Conversion and Continuation of Loans of a particular Type shall be made pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Loans, and the then current Interest Period for each Lender’s portion of each such Loan of such Type shall be coterminous.

ARTICLE III.

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

3.1. Yield Protection. If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender or applicable Lending Installation with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency or any other Change:

(i) subjects any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to any Taxes, or changes the basis of taxation of payments (other than with respect to Excluded Taxes) to any Lender in respect of its LIBOR Rate Loans, or

(ii) imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to LIBOR Rate Advances), or

(iii) imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation of making, funding or maintaining its LIBOR Rate Loans, or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation in connection with its LIBOR Rate Loans, or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of LIBOR Rate Loans, by an amount deemed material by such Lender as the case may be,

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or applicable Lending Installation, as the case may be, of making or maintaining its LIBOR Rate Loans or Commitment, if any, or to reduce the return received by such Lender or applicable Lending Installation in connection with such LIBOR Rate Loans or Commitment, then, within 15 days of a demand by such Lender accompanied by reasonable evidence of the occurrence of the applicable event under clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above, the Borrower shall pay such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction in amount received.

3.2. Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If a Lender in good faith determines the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender, any Lending Installation of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender is increased as a result of a Change (as hereinafter defined), then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital which such Lender in good faith determines is attributable to this Agreement, its outstanding credit exposure hereunder or its obligation to make Loans hereunder (after taking into account such Lender’s policies as to capital adequacy). “Change” means (i) any change after the Agreement Effective Date in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines or (ii) any adoption of or change in any other law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not having the force of law) after the Agreement Effective Date which affects the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any lending office of such Lender or any corporation controlling any Lender. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules,

-29-

guidelines and directives promulgated thereunder and (ii) 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 be a “Change”, regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented. “Risk-Based Capital Guidelines” means (i) the risk-based capital guidelines in effect in the United States on the Agreement Effective Date, including transition rules, and (ii) the corresponding capital regulations 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, including transition rules, and any amendments to such guidelines, rules and regulations adopted prior to the Agreement Effective Date.

3.3. Availability of Types of Advances. If any Lender in good faith determines that maintenance of any of its LIBOR Rate Loans at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or directive, whether or not having the force of law, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof and the Administrative Agent shall, with written notice to Borrower, suspend the availability of LIBOR Rate Advances and require any LIBOR Rate Advances to be repaid; or if the Required Lenders in good faith determine that (i) deposits of a type or maturity appropriate to match fund LIBOR Rate Advances are not available, the Administrative Agent shall, with written notice to Borrower, suspend the availability of LIBOR Rate Advances with respect to any LIBOR Rate Advances made after the date of any such determination, or (ii) an interest rate applicable to a LIBOR Rate Advance does not accurately reflect the cost of making such a LIBOR Rate Advance, then, if for any reason whatsoever the provisions of Section 3.1 are inapplicable, the Administrative Agent shall, with written notice to Borrower, suspend the availability of any LIBOR Rate Advances made after the date of any such determination. If the Borrower is required to so repay a LIBOR Rate Advance, such LIBOR Rate Advances shall be converted to Floating Rate Advances.

3.4. Funding Indemnification. If any payment of a LIBOR Rate Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or a LIBOR Rate Advance is not made or continued on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders or as a result of unavailability pursuant to Section 3.3, the Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost (incurred or expected to be incurred) in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain the LIBOR Rate Advance and shall pay all such losses or costs within fifteen (15) days after written demand therefor.

3.5. Taxes.

(i) All payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders hereunder or under any Note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes. If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, (a) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.5) such Lender or the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (c) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law and (d) the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof within 30 days after such payment is made.

-30-

(ii) In addition, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Note or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note (“Other Taxes”).

(iii) The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 3.5) paid by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or such Lender and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days of the date the Administrative Agent or such Lender makes demand therefore pursuant to Section 3.6.

(iv) Each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America, a state thereof or the District of Columbia (each a “Non-U.S. Lender”) agrees that it will, not more than ten Business Days after the date it becomes a party to this Agreement, (i) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or W-8BEN-E, as applicable) or W-8ECI, certifying in either case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, and (ii) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a United States Internal Revenue Form W-8 or W-9, as the case may be, and certify that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each Non-U.S. Lender further undertakes to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (x) renewals or additional copies of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete, and (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. All forms or amendments described in the preceding sentence shall certify that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and such Lender advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.

(v) For any period during which a Non-U.S. Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with an appropriate form pursuant to clause (iv), above (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 3.5 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States.

(vi) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement or any Note pursuant to the law of any relevant jurisdiction or any treaty shall deliver to the Borrower (with a

-31-

copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate following receipt of such documentation.

(vii) If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or any other country or any political subdivision thereof asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered or properly completed, because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered its exemption from withholding ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax, withholding therefor, or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this subsection, together with all costs and expenses related thereto (including attorneys fees and time charges of attorneys for the Administrative Agent, which attorneys may be employees of the Administrative Agent). The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 3.5(vii) shall survive the payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement and any such Lender obligated to indemnify the Administrative Agent shall not be entitled to indemnification from the Borrower with respect to such amounts, whether pursuant to this Article III or otherwise, except to the extent the Borrower participated in the actions giving rise to such liability.

(viii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by applicable law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative 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 (viii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

3.6. Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity; Delay in Requests. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its LIBOR Rate Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5 or to avoid the unavailability of LIBOR Rate Advances under Section 3.3, so long as such designation is not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its LIBOR Rate Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the LIBOR Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not.

-32-

Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender shall be payable on demand after receipt by the Borrower of such written statement. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2 shall not constitute a waiver of the right of such Lender to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2, as applicable, for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the Change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

3.7. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) Application. The application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b) Effect. The effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

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

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

(3) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

ARTICLE V.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

The Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and Lenders that:

5.1. Existence. The Borrower is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Maryland. The Borrower has its principal place of business in Oak Brook, Illinois and is duly qualified as a foreign entity, properly licensed (if required), in good standing and has all requisite authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted, except where the failure to be so qualified, licensed and in good standing and to have the requisite authority could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and is duly qualified as a foreign entity, properly licensed (if required), and in good standing, and has all requisite authority to conduct its business, in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted, except where the failure to be so organized, validly existing, qualified, licensed, in good standing and to have the requisite authority could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.2. Authorization and Validity. Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors, if any, has the corporate power and authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to perform its respective obligations thereunder, except, solely with respect to the Subsidiary Guarantors, where the failure to have such power, authority and legal right could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The execution and delivery by each of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors, if any, of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and the performance of its respective obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by proper corporate proceedings, except, solely with respect to the Subsidiary Guarantors, if any, where the failure to have been duly authorized could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Loan Documents constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors, if any, party thereto enforceable against the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors, if any and as applicable, in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and except, solely with respect to the Subsidiary Guarantors, if any, where the failure of the Loan Documents to be legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.3. No Conflict; Government Consent. Neither the execution and delivery by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, if any, of the Loan Documents to which any of them is a party, nor the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated, nor compliance with the provisions thereof will violate any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s articles of incorporation, bylaws, articles of organization, articles of formation, certificates of trust, limited partnership certificates,

-35-

operating agreements, trust agreements, or limited partnership agreements, or the provisions of any indenture, instrument or agreement to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or is subject, or by which it, or its Property, is bound, or conflict with or constitute a default thereunder, except where such violation, conflict or default would not have a Material Adverse Effect, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens set forth in Section 6.16) in, of or on the Property of the Borrower or a Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, instrument or agreement. No order, consent, approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, is required to authorize, or is required for the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of, any of the Loan Documents.

5.4. Financial Statements; Material Adverse Effect. All consolidated financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries heretofore or hereafter delivered to the Lenders were prepared in accordance with GAAP in effect on the preparation date of such statements and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial condition and operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries at such date and the consolidated results of their operations for the period then ended, subject, in the case of interim financial statements, to normal and customary year-end adjustments. Since December 31, 2014, there has been no change in the business, properties, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.5. Taxes. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have filed all United States federal tax returns and all other tax returns which are required to be filed and have paid all taxes due pursuant to said returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries except (a) such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been provided and (b) with respect to the Subsidiaries, to the extent the failure to so file any such returns or to pay any such taxes could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As of the Agreement Effective Date, except as set forth in the Disclosure Letter, no tax liens have been filed and no claims are being asserted with respect to such taxes. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in respect of any taxes or other governmental charges are adequate.

5.6. Litigation and Guarantee Obligations. There is no litigation, arbitration, governmental investigation, proceeding or inquiry pending or, to the knowledge of any of their officers, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower has no material contingent obligations not provided for or disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section 6.1.

5.7. Subsidiaries. All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of all Subsidiary Guarantors, if any, that are corporations have been duly authorized and issued and are fully paid and non-assessable, except to the extent that the failure or non-compliance of the same could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.8. ERISA. The Unfunded Liabilities of all Single Employer Plans do not in the aggregate exceed $1,000,000. Neither Borrower nor any other member of the Controlled Group has incurred, or is reasonably expected to incur, any withdrawal liability to Multiemployer Plans in excess of $250,000 in the aggregate. Each Plan complies in all material respects with all applicable requirements of law and regulations, no Reportable Event has occurred with respect to any Plan, neither Borrower nor any other members of the Controlled Group has withdrawn from any Plan or initiated steps to do so, and no steps have been taken to reorganize or terminate any Plan.

5.9. Accuracy of Information. To Borrower’s knowledge, no information, exhibit or report furnished by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to the Administrative Agent or to any Lender in

-36-

connection with the negotiation of, or compliance with, the Loan Documents contained any material misstatement of fact or omitted to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions that Borrower believed to be reasonable at the time.

5.10. Regulations U and X. The Borrower has not used the proceeds of any Advance to buy or carry any margin stock (as defined in Regulation U or Regulation X) in violation of the terms of this Agreement.

5.11. [Intentionally Omitted].

5.12. Compliance With Laws. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have complied with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, orders and restrictions of any domestic or foreign government or any instrumentality or agency thereof, having jurisdiction over the conduct of their respective businesses or the ownership of their respective Property, except for any non-compliance which would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary has received any written notice to the effect that their operations are not in material compliance with any of the requirements of applicable federal, state and local environmental, health and safety statutes and regulations or the subject of any federal or state investigation evaluating whether any remedial action is needed to respond to a release of any toxic or hazardous waste or substance into the environment, which non-compliance or remedial action could have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.13. Ownership of Properties. On the date of this Agreement, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries will have good and marketable title, free of all Liens other than those permitted by Section 6.16, to all of the Property and assets reflected in the financial statements as owned by it, other than those assets represented by mortgage receivables that are required to be consolidated despite the fact that title to the mortgaged assets is not in the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and except, solely with respect to the Subsidiaries, to the extent that the failure to have such title or the existence of such Liens could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.14. Investment Company Act. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

5.15. [Intentionally Omitted].

5.16. Solvency.

(i) Immediately after the Agreement Effective Date and immediately following the making of each Loan, and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of such Loans, (a) the fair value of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, at a fair valuation, will exceed the debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis; (b) the present fair saleable value of the Property of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis on their debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (c) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be able to pay their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become

-37-

absolute and matured; and (d) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the businesses in which they are engaged as such businesses are now conducted and are proposed to be conducted after the date hereof.

(ii) The Borrower does not intend to, or to permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, and does not believe that it or any Subsidiary Guarantor will, incur debts beyond their ability to pay such debts as they mature, taking into account the timing of and amounts of cash to be received by it or any such Subsidiary Guarantor and the timing of the amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its Indebtedness or the Indebtedness of any such Subsidiary Guarantor, except, solely with respect to the Subsidiary Guarantors, to the extent the same could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.17. Insurance The Borrower and its Subsidiaries carry insurance on their Projects, including the Unencumbered Pool Properties, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies, in such amounts, with such deductibles and covering such risks as are customarily carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar Projects in localities where the Borrower and its Subsidiaries operate, including, without limitation:

(i) Property and casualty insurance (including coverage for flood and other water damage for any Project located within a 100-year flood plain) in the amount of the replacement cost of the improvements at the Projects (to the extent replacement cost insurance is maintained by companies engaged in similar business and owning similar properties);

(ii) Builder’s risk insurance for any Project under construction in the amount of the construction cost of such Project;

(iii) Loss of rental income insurance in the amount not less than one year’s gross revenues from the Projects; and

(b) From time to time, the Borrower may request, upon not less than two (2) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, that a Subsidiary Guarantor be released from the Subsidiary Guaranty, and upon receipt of such request the Administrative Agent shall release, such Subsidiary Guarantor from the Subsidiary Guaranty so long as: (i) such Subsidiary Guarantor is not, or immediately upon its release will not be, required to be a party to the Subsidiary Guaranty under the immediately preceding subsection (a), (ii) no Unmatured Default or Default will exist immediately following such release; and (iii) the representations and warranties (subject in all cases to all materiality qualifiers and other exceptions in such representations and warranties) contained in Article V shall be true and correct as of the date of such release and immediately after giving effect to such release, except to the extent any such representation or warranty is stated to relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances not prohibited under the Loan Documents. Delivery by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent of any such request 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. The Administrative Agent shall execute such documents and instruments as the Borrower may reasonably request, and at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, to evidence such release.

6.27. Amendments to Organizational Documents. As and to the extent the same would have a Material Adverse Effect, the Borrower shall not permit any amendment to be made to its organizational documents without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders.

ARTICLE VIII.

ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES

8.1. Acceleration. If any Default described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 occurs with respect to the Borrower, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Facility Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. If any other Default occurs, so long as a Default exists Lenders shall have no obligation to make any Loans and the Required Lenders, at any time prior to the date that such Default has been fully cured, may permanently terminate the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and declare the Facility Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon (i) if the Required Lenders have elected to accelerate, the Facility Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby expressly waives and (ii) if any automatic or optional acceleration has occurred, the Administrative Agent, as directed by the Required Lenders (or if no such direction is given within 30 days after a request for direction, as the Administrative Agent deems in the best interests of the Lenders, in its sole discretion, until receipt of a subsequent direction from the Required Lenders), shall use its good faith efforts to collect, including without limitation, by filing and diligently pursuing judicial action, all amounts owed by the Borrower under the Loan Documents and to exercise all other rights and remedies available under applicable law.

If, within 10 days after acceleration of the maturity of the Facility Obligations or termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder as a result of any Default (other than any Default as described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 with respect to the Borrower) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Facility Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, all of the Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination.

Subject to the immediately following subsections (b) and (c), any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document relating to the rights or obligations of the Lenders may be amended, and the performance or observance by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any such terms may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, and only with, the written consent of the Required Lenders (and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of the Borrower and any Subsidiary which is a party thereto). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section, the Fee Letter may only be amended, and the performance or observance by the Borrower thereunder may only be waived, in a writing executed by the parties thereto.

(b) Additional Lender Consents. In addition to the foregoing requirements, no amendment, waiver or consent shall:

(i) Extend the Facility Termination Date without the written consent of each Lender;

(ii) Forgive all or any portion of the principal amount of any Loan or accrued interest thereon or of the Unused Fee or Commitment Termination Fee, reduce any of the Applicable Margins (or modify any definition herein which would have the effect of reducing any of the Applicable Margins) or the underlying interest rate options or extend the time of payment of any such principal, interest, Unused Fees or Commitment Termination Fee without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby;

(iii) Release any Subsidiary Guarantor, except as permitted in Section 6.26, from any liability it may undertake with respect to the Obligations without the written consent of all of the Lenders;

(v) Increase the Aggregate Commitment beyond $300,000,000 without the written consent of all of the Lenders, provided that no Commitment of a Lender can be increased without the consent of such Lender;

(vi) Amend the definitions of “Commitment” or “Percentage” without the written consent of all of the Lenders;

(vii) Permit the Borrower to assign its rights under the Agreement or otherwise release the Borrower from any portion of the Obligations without the written consent of all of the Lenders;

(viii) Cause any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of any of the Lenders to be held other than on a pro rata basis without the written consent of all of the Lenders;

(ix) Cause any Subsidiary Guarantor to guarantee the Obligations on any basis other than a pro rata basis without the written consent of all of the Lenders; or

(x) Amend Sections 2.13, 2.23, 8.1, 8.2, 8.5 or 11.2, without the written consent of all of the Lenders.

(c) Deemed Lender Consents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower unconditionally acknowledge and agree that: (i) any Lender that is, or has an Affiliate that is, an Existing KB/WF Lender shall be deemed to have consented to a proposal to modify, waive or restate, or a request for a consent or approval with respect to, any Applicable Provision in the same manner as (to the maximum extent possible, and otherwise to the maximum manner consistent with) any amendment, waiver, approval, consent or modification of the corresponding provisions of the Existing KB/WF Agreement pursuant to an Approved Proposed Modification that was approved by such Lender or any of its Affiliates in their capacity as an Existing KB/WF Lender and (ii) upon such deemed consent by Lenders described in the immediately preceding subclause (i) (together with the consent of any other Lenders under this Agreement, if necessary) constituting the Required Lenders hereunder, the Applicable Provisions of the Loan Documents shall be concurrently deemed to be modified or restated, or such waiver, consent or approval granted with respect thereto, in the same manner as (to the maximum extent possible, and otherwise to the maximum manner consistent with) such Approved Proposed Modification (and the applicable parties agree, upon request from the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, to execute and deliver a written document memoralizing such amendment, modification, restatement, waiver, consent, or approval) unless both (x) the amendment, waiver, or modification of any Applicable Provision that is the subject of such Approved Proposed Modification expressly requires the consent of each Lender or each Lender affected thereby under the immediately preceding subsection (b) and (y) at least one Lender hereunder is not also an Existing KB/WF Lender. For all purposes hereunder, in the event that the Administrative Agent is an Existing KB/WF Lender (or has an Affiliate that is an Existing KB/WF Lender), subject only to first having obtained the consent or approval of the Required Lenders, if applicable, Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have consented to the modification, waiver or restatement, or the request for a consent or approval with respect to, such Applicable Provision, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent hereunder, as and to the extent Administrative Agent is deemed to have consented to such matter in its capacity as a Lender under this subsection (c). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section, this subsection (c) may only be amended with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

No amendment of any provision of the Agreement relating to the Administrative Agent shall be effective without the written consent of the Administrative Agent. 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, reinstated or extended, and the scheduled date for payment of any amount owing to such Defaulting Lender may not be extended, without the written consent of such Defaulting Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the written consent of such Defaulting Lender.

-53-

8.3. Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Loan notwithstanding the existence of a Default or the inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Loan shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.2, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.

8.4. Insolvency of Borrower. In the event of the insolvency of the Borrower, the Commitments shall automatically terminate, the Lenders shall have no obligation to make further disbursements of the Facility, and the outstanding principal balance of the Facility, including accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be immediately due and payable.

8.5. Application of Funds. If a Default exists, any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:

(a) to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including attorney costs and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;

(b) to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders and amounts payable under Article III), ratably among them in proportion to the amounts described in this clause (b) payable to them;

(c) to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and other Obligations, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (c) payable to them;

(d) to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (d) held by them; and

9.6. Several Obligations; Benefits of the Agreement. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and no Lender shall be the partner or agent of any other (except to the extent to which the Administrative Agent is authorized to act as such).

The Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties to the Agreement and their respective successors and assigns.

9.7. Expenses; Indemnification. The Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any costs, internal charges and out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable fees for consultants and fees and reasonable expenses for attorneys for the Administrative Agent, which attorneys may be employees of the Administrative Agent), paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the administration, amendment, modification, and enforcement of the Loan Documents, provided that reimbursement for such fees and expenses for attorneys will be limited to one counsel for the Administrative Agent and, if applicable, one local counsel in each material jurisdiction for the Administrative Agent.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to the Borrower, the Lenders or any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct or, in the case of the Administrative Agent, its breach of an express obligation under the Agreement; or (ii) any determination by the Administrative Agent that compliance with any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, order, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) requires the Advances and Commitments hereunder to be classified as being part of a “highly leveraged transaction”.

10.4. No Responsibility for Loans, Recitals, Etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any agreement by an obligor to furnish information directly to each Lender; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article IV, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent; (iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith; (v) the value, sufficiency, creation, perfection, or priority of any interest in any collateral security; or (vi) the financial condition of the Borrower.

10.5. Action on Instructions of Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed by the required percentage of the Lenders needed to take such action or refrain from taking such action, and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders. The Lenders hereby acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of the Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall be requested in

-58-

writing to do so by the Required Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

10.6. Employment of Agents and Counsel. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties as Administrative Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to the agency hereby created and its duties hereunder and under any other Loan Document.

10.7. Reliance on Documents; Counsel. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any Note, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and, in respect to legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent, which counsel may be employees of the Administrative Agent.

10.8. Administrative Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent ratably in proportion to their respective Percentage (i) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrower for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrower under the Loan Documents, (ii) for any other expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents, if not paid by Borrower and (iii) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby (including without limitation, for any such amounts incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders), or the enforcement of any of the terms thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct or a breach of the Administrative Agent’s express obligations and undertakings to the Lenders. The obligations of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under this Section 10.8 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of the Agreement.

10.9. Rights as a Lender. In the event the Administrative Agent is a Lender, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Loan Document as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, at any time when the Administrative Agent is a Lender, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by the Agreement or any other Loan Document, with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in which the Borrower or such Subsidiaries are not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person. The Administrative Agent, in its individual capacity, is not obligated to remain a Lender.

10.10. Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrower and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made

-59-

its own credit analysis and decision to enter into the Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

10.11. Successor Administrative Agent. Except as otherwise provided below, Capital One, National Association shall at all times serve as the Administrative Agent during the term of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent or, if no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, forty-five days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intention to resign (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed). The Administrative Agent may be removed at any time if the Administrative Agent (i) is found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to have committed gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the course of performing its duties hereunder or (ii) has become a Defaulting Lender under clause (d) of the definition of such term by written notice received by the Administrative Agent from the Required Lenders (but excluding, for purposes of calculating the percentage needed to constitute Required Lenders in such instance, the Commitment of the Administrative Agent from the Aggregate Commitment and the Advances held by the Administrative Agent from the total outstanding Advances), such removal to be effective on the date specified by such Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with approval of the Borrower (so long as no Default shall then be in existence), which such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and, if applicable, so approved by the Borrower, within forty-five days after the resigning Administrative Agent’s giving notice of its intention to resign, then the resigning Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Administrative Agent may at any time without the consent of any Lender (but, so long as no Default shall then be in existence, with the consent of the Borrower), appoint any of its Affiliates which is a commercial bank as a successor Administrative Agent hereunder. If the Administrative Agent has resigned or been removed and no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, the Lenders may perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and the Borrower shall make all payments in respect of the Obligations to the applicable Lender and for all other purposes shall deal directly with the Lenders. No successor Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be appointed hereunder until such successor Administrative Agent has accepted the appointment. Any such successor Administrative Agent shall in all events be a commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning or removed Administrative Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the resigning or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents arising from and after such date. After the effectiveness of the resignation or removal of an Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Administrative Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

-60-

10.12. Notice of Defaults. If a Lender becomes aware of a Default or Unmatured Default, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact provided that the failure to give such notice shall not create liability on the part of a Lender. Upon receipt of such notice that a Default or Unmatured Default has occurred or upon it otherwise having actual knowledge of any Default or Unmatured Default, the Administrative Agent shall notify each of the Lenders of such fact.

10.13. Requests for Approval. If the Administrative Agent requests in writing the consent or approval of a Lender, such Lender shall respond and either approve or disapprove definitively in writing to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days (or sooner if such notice specifies a shorter period for responses based on Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that circumstances exist warranting its request for an earlier response) after such written request from the Administrative Agent. If the Lender does not so respond, that Lender shall be deemed to have approved the request, unless the consent or approval of affected Lenders or such Lender is required for the requested action as provided under any of clauses (i) through (x) of Section 8.2(b), in which event, subject to Section 8.2(c), failure to so respond shall not be deemed to be an approval of such request.

10.14. Defaulting Lenders. 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, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(a) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders and in Section 8.2.

(b) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.1 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Unmatured Default 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 Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Unmatured Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. 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 pursuant to this subsection shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(c) Certain Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Section 2.4 or 2.5, as applicable, for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(d) Intentionally Omitted.

-61-

(e) Intentionally Omitted.

(f) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, 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 Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages, as applicable, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

10.15. Additional Agents. None of the Documentation Agents or the Syndication Agent as designated on the cover of the Agreement have any rights or obligations under the Loan Documents as a result of such designation or of any actions undertaken in such capacity, such parties having only those rights or obligations arising hereunder in their capacities as a Lender.

ARTICLE XI.

SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS

11.1. Setoff. In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under applicable law, if any Default occurs and is continuing, any and all deposits (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by any Lender or any of its Affiliates to or for the credit or account of the Borrower may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender at any time prior to the date that such Default has been fully cured, whether or not the Obligations, or any part hereof, shall then be due. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.14 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 Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (y) such Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

11.2. Ratable Payments. If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Loans (other than payments received pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5) and such payment should be distributed to the Lenders in accordance with Section 2.23 or 8.5, as applicable, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Loans held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its ratable proportion of Loans. If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to their Loans in accordance with Section 2.23 or 8.5, as applicable. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.

ARTICLE XII.

BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

12.1. Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, except that (i) the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 12.3. The parties to the Agreement acknowledge that clause (ii) of this Section 12.1 relates only to absolute assignments and does not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, (x) any pledge or assignment by any Lender of all or any portion of its rights under the Agreement and any Note to a Federal Reserve Bank or (y) in the case of a Lender which is a fund, any pledge or assignment of all or any portion of its rights under the Agreement and any Note to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment creating a security interest shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder unless and until the parties thereto have complied with the provisions of Section 12.3. The Administrative Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such Person complies with Section 12.3; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may in its discretion (but shall not be required to) follow instructions from the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note to direct payments relating to such Loan or Note to another Person. Any assignee of the rights to any Loan or any Note agrees by acceptance of such assignment to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of the rights to any Loan (whether or not a Note has been issued in evidence thereof), shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder or assignee of the rights to such Loan.

12.2. Participations.

(i) Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions, pension funds, or any other funds or entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrower under the Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant

-63-

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 Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(ii) Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents other than any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Loan or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which would require consent of affected Lenders or such Lender pursuant to the terms of any of clauses (i) through (x) of Section 8.2(b).

(iii) Benefit of Setoff. The Borrower agrees that each Participant which has previously advised the Borrower in writing of its purchase of a participation in a Lender’s interest in its Loans shall be deemed to have the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the Loan Documents. Each Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each Participant, provided that such Lender and Participant may not each setoff amounts against the same portion of the Obligations, so as to collect the same amount from the Borrower twice. The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1, agrees to share with each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 11.2 as if each Participant were a Lender.

12.3. Assignments.

(i) Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may, in accordance with applicable law, at any time assign to any Eligible Assignee, without any approval from the Borrower except as provided in the definition thereof and set forth in this Section 12.3 (any such assignees being referred to herein as “Purchasers”), all or any portion (greater than or equal to $5,000,000 for each assignee, so long as the hold position of the assigning Lender is not less than $5,000,000) of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no approval of the Borrower shall be required for any such assignment if a Default has occurred and is then continuing. Such assignment shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto or in such other form as may be agreed to by the parties thereto (an “Assignment Agreement”). The consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender or an Affiliate thereof or fund related thereto. Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(ii) Effect; Effective Date. Upon (i) delivery to the Administrative Agent of a notice of assignment, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit “I” to Exhibit G hereto (a “Notice of Assignment”), together with any consents required by Section 12.3(i), and (ii) payment of a $3,500 fee by the assignor or assignee to the Administrative Agent for processing such assignment, such assignment shall become effective on the effective date specified in such Notice of Assignment. The Notice of Assignment shall contain a representation by the Purchaser to the effect that none of the consideration used to make the purchase of the Commitment and Loans under the applicable assignment agreement

-64-

are “plan assets” as defined under ERISA and that the rights and interests of the Purchaser in and under the Loan Documents will not be “plan assets” under ERISA. On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Lender party to the Agreement and any other Loan Document executed by the Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto, and no further consent or action by the Borrower, the Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall be required to release the transferor Lender, and the transferor Lender shall automatically be released on the effective date of such assignment, with respect to the percentage of the Aggregate Commitment and Loans assigned to such Purchaser. Upon the consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 12.3(ii), the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in principal amounts reflecting its Commitment, as adjusted pursuant to such assignment.

(iii) In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, 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 Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all applicable Loans, in accordance with its 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.

(iv) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower (such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s office a copy of each Notice of Assignment (and attached Assignment Agreement) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

12.4. Dissemination of Information. The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender’s possession concerning the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

-65-

12.5. Tax Treatment. If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any Transferee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 3.5.

ARTICLE XIII.

NOTICES

13.1. Giving Notice. Except as otherwise permitted by Section 2.14 with respect to borrowing notices, all notices and other communications provided to any party hereto under the Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be in writing and addressed or delivered to such party at its address set forth below its signature hereto or at such other address (or to counsel for such party) as may be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties. Any notice, if mailed and properly addressed with postage prepaid, shall be deemed given when received; any notice, if transmitted by facsimile, shall be deemed given when transmitted.

The Administrative Agent and the Borrower hereby agree to accept notices and other communications to the other party hereunder by electronic delivery pursuant to procedures approved by both the Administrative Agent and the Borrower for all or particular notices or communications. Documents or notices delivered electronically shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date and at the time on which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower posts such documents or the documents become available on a commercial website and the Administrative Agent or Borrower notifies each Lender of said posting and provides a link thereto provided if such notice or other communication is not sent or posted during the normal business hours of the recipient, said posting date and time shall be deemed to have commenced as of 9:00 a.m. local time on the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the Borrower shall deliver paper copies of any documents to the Administrative Agent or to any Lender that requests such paper copies until a written request to cease delivering paper copies is given by the Administrative Agent or such Lender. Except for Compliance Certificates, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to request the delivery of or to maintain paper copies of the documents delivered electronically, and in any event shall have no responsibility to monitor compliance by the Borrower with any such request for delivery. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for requesting delivery to it of paper copies and maintaining its paper or electronic documents.

(b) Documents required to be delivered pursuant to Article II. may be delivered electronically to a website provided for such purpose by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the procedures provided to the Borrower and the Lenders by the Administrative Agent.

EXHIBIT A

APPLICABLE MARGINS

Prior to the Investment Grade Rating Date, the interest due hereunder with respect to the Advances shall vary from time to time and shall be determined by reference to the then-current Leverage Ratio. Any such change in the Applicable Margins shall be made on the fifth (5^th) day subsequent to the date on which the Administrative Agent receives a Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 6.1(v) with respect to the preceding fiscal quarter of Borrower, provided that the Administrative Agent does not in good faith object to the information provided in such certificate. In the event any such Compliance Certificate is not delivered by Borrower when due under Section 6.1(v) the Administrative Agent shall have the right, if so directed by the Required Lenders, to increase the Applicable Margins to the next higher level until such Compliance Certificate is delivered, by delivering written notice thereof to Borrower. Such changes shall be given prospective effect only, and no recalculation shall be done with respect to interest accrued prior to the date of such change in the Applicable Margins. If any such Compliance Certificate shall later be determined to be incorrect and as a result higher Applicable Margins should have been in effect for any period, Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders all additional interest and fees which would have accrued if the original Compliance Certificate had been correct, as shown on an invoice to be prepared by the Administrative Agent and delivered to Borrower, on the next Payment Date following delivery of such invoice or on demand of the Administrative Agent if the Aggregate Commitments have terminated. The per annum Applicable Margins that will be either added to the Alternate Base Rate to determine the Floating Rate or added to LIBOR Base Rate to determine the LIBOR Rate for any LIBOR Interest Period shall be determined as follows:


Leverage Ratio		Applicable Margin
<40%		1.70%
³40%, <45%		1.75%
³45%, <50%		1.90%
³50%, <55%		2.05%
³55%, <60%		2.35%
³60%		2.55%

On, and at all times after, the Investment Grade Rating Date, the Applicable Margins thereafter shall vary from time to time and shall be determined by reference to the then-current Credit Ratings of Borrower. Any subsequent change in any of the Borrower’s Credit Ratings which would cause a different level to be applicable shall be effective as of the first day of the first calendar month immediately following the month in which the Administrative Agent receives written notice delivered by the Borrower that such change in a Credit Rating has occurred; provided, however, if the Borrower has not delivered the notice required but the Administrative Agent becomes aware that any of the Borrower’s Credit Ratings have changed, then the Administrative Agent shall adjust the level effective as of the first day of the first calendar month following the date the Administrative Agent becomes aware of such change in Borrower’s Credit Ratings. The per annum Applicable Margins that will be either added to the Alternate Base Rate to determine the Floating Rate or added to LIBOR Base Rate to determine the LIBOR Rate for any LIBOR Interest Period shall be determined as follows:


Credit Rating (S&P and Xxxxx’x)		Applicable Margin
At least A- or A3		1.50%
At least BBB+ or Baa1		1.55%
At least BBB or Baa2		1.65%
At least BBB- or Baa3		1.90%
Below BBB- and Baa3		2.45%

A-1

If each of Fitch, Moody’s, and S&P assigns a Credit Rating to the Borrower and such Credit Ratings correspond to different levels in the above table, the Applicable Margin will be determined based on (i) the level corresponding to the highest Credit Rating of the assigned Credit Ratings if such Credit Ratings differ by only one level or (ii) the average of the two highest Credit Ratings if they differ by two or more levels (unless the average is not a recognized level, in which case the Applicable Margin will be based on the level corresponding to the second highest Credit Rating). If only two of Fitch, Moody’s, and S&P assign a Credit Rating to the Borrower and such Credit Ratings correspond to different levels in the above table, the Applicable Margins will be determined based on (i) the level corresponding to the higher Credit Rating of the assigned Credit Ratings if such Credit Ratings differ by only one level or (ii) the median of the two Credit Ratings if they differ by two or more levels (unless the median is not a recognized level, in which case the Applicable Margin will be based on the credit rating one level below the level corresponding to the higher Credit Rating). If only one rating agency assigns a Credit Rating to the Borrower and such rating agency is either Xxxxx’x or S&P, the Applicable Margins will be determined based on the level corresponding to the Credit Rating assigned by such rating agency. During any period after the Investment Grade Rating Date when neither Xxxxx’x nor S&P assigns a Credit Rating to the Borrower, the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on a Credit Rating of “Below BBB- and Baa3”, effective in each case as of the first day of the first calendar month immediately following the month in which the Administrative Agent receives written notice delivered by the Borrower that such cessation has occurred; provided, however, if the Borrower has not delivered the notice required but the Administrative Agent becomes aware of such cessation, then the Administrative Agent shall adjust the level effective as of the first day of the first calendar month following the date the Administrative Agent becomes aware of such cessation.

FORM OF SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY

This Subsidiary Guaranty (this “Guaranty”) is made as of , by the parties identified in the signature pages thereto, and any Joinder to Guaranty hereafter delivered (collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), to and for the benefit of Capital One, National Association, individually (“Capital One”) and as administrative agent (“Administrative Agent”), for itself and the lenders under the Loan Agreement (as defined below) and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the “Lenders”).

RECITALS

A. Retail Properties of America, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Maryland (“Borrower”), and Subsidiary Guarantors have requested that the Lenders make a term loan credit facility available to Borrower in an aggregate principal amount of $200,000,000, subject to possible future increase to an aggregate of $300,000,000 (the “Facility”).

B. The Lenders have agreed to make available the Facility to Borrower pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in a Term Loan Agreement dated as of November [22], 2016 among Borrower, Capital One, individually, and as Administrative Agent, and the Lenders named therein (as amended, modified, supplemented, restated, or renewed, from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”). All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

C. Borrower has executed and delivered or will execute and deliver to the Lenders promissory notes in the principal amount of each Lender’s Commitment and/or Loans, as applicable, as evidence, in addition to the Loan Agreement, of Borrower’s indebtedness to each such Lender with respect to the Facility (the promissory notes described above, together with any amendments or allonges thereto, or restatements, replacements or renewals thereof, and/or new promissory notes to new Lenders under the Loan Agreement, are collectively referred to herein as the “Notes”).

D. Subsidiary Guarantors are Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries of Borrower. Subsidiary Guarantors acknowledge that the extension of credit by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to Borrower pursuant to the Loan Agreement will benefit Subsidiary Guarantors by making funds available to Subsidiary Guarantors through Borrower and by enhancing the financial strength of the consolidated group of which Subsidiary Guarantors and Borrower are members. The execution and delivery of this Guaranty by Subsidiary Guarantors are conditions precedent to the performance by the Lenders of their obligations under the Loan Agreement.

E-1

AGREEMENTS

NOW, THEREFORE, Subsidiary 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, hereby agree as follows:

1. Each Subsidiary Guarantor absolutely, unconditionally, and irrevocably guaranties to each of the Lenders, jointly with the other Subsidiary Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety:

(a) the full and prompt payment of the principal of and interest on the Facility Obligations when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, and the prompt payment of all sums which may now be or may hereafter become due and owing under the Notes, the Loan Agreement, and the other Loan Documents;

(b) the payment of all Enforcement Costs (as hereinafter defined in Paragraph 7 hereof); and

(c) the full, complete, and punctual observance, performance, and satisfaction of all of the obligations, duties, covenants, and agreements of Borrower under the Loan Agreement and the Loan Documents.

All amounts due, debts, liabilities, and payment obligations described in subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Paragraph 1 are referred to herein as the “Facility Indebtedness.” All obligations described in subparagraph (c) of this Paragraph 1 are referred to herein as the “Obligations.” Subsidiary Guarantors and Lenders agree that Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations hereunder shall not exceed the greater of: (i) the aggregate amount of all monies received, directly or indirectly, by Subsidiary Guarantors from Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or other means), or (ii) the maximum amount of the Facility Indebtedness not subject to avoidance under Title 11 of the United States Code, as same may be amended from time to time, or any applicable state law (the “Bankruptcy Code”). To that end, to the extent such obligations would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Bankruptcy Code if Subsidiary Guarantors are not deemed to have received valuable consideration, fair value or reasonably equivalent value for its obligations hereunder, each Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, after giving effect thereto, would not render such Subsidiary Guarantor insolvent, or leave such Subsidiary Guarantor with an unreasonably small capital to conduct its business, or cause such Subsidiary Guarantor to have incurred debts (or intended to have incurred debts) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature, as such terms are determined, and at the time such obligations are deemed to have been incurred, under the Bankruptcy Code. In the event a Subsidiary Guarantor shall make any payment or payments under this Guaranty, each other Subsidiary Guarantor of the Facility Indebtedness shall contribute to such Subsidiary Guarantor an amount equal to such nonpaying Subsidiary Guarantor’s pro rata share (based on their respective maximum liabilities hereunder) of such payment or payments made by such Subsidiary Guarantor, provided that such contribution right shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment in full of all the Facility Indebtedness to Lenders. Subsidiary Guarantors and

E-2

Lenders further agree that Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations hereunder with regard to the Facility Obligations shall be determined in accordance with the terms hereof and Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations hereunder are not intended to be determined by or subject to the definition of “Guarantee Obligations” in the Loan Agreement.

2. In the event of any default by Borrower in making payment of the Facility Indebtedness, or in performance of the Obligations, as aforesaid, in each case beyond the expiration of any applicable grace period, Subsidiary Guarantors agree, on demand by the Administrative Agent or the holder of a Note, to pay all the Facility Indebtedness and to perform all the Obligations as are then or thereafter become due and owing or are to be performed under the terms of the Notes, the Loan Agreement, and the other Loan Documents.

3. Subsidiary Guarantors do hereby waive (i) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and any and all notices and demands of every kind which may be required to be given by any statute, rule or law, (ii) any defense, right of set-off or other claim which Subsidiary Guarantors may have against Borrower or which Subsidiary Guarantors or Borrower may have against the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or the holder of a Note, including, without limitation, the defense of the statute of limitations in any action hereunder and any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person, the revocation or repudiation hereof by a Subsidiary Guarantor or the revocation or repudiation of any of the Loan Documents by Borrower or any other Person, the failure of the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) to file or enforce a claim against the estate (either in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of Borrower or any other Person, or the unenforceability in whole or in part of any Loan Document, (iii) presentment for payment, demand for payment (other than as provided for in Paragraph 2 above), notice of nonpayment (other than as provided for in Paragraph 2 above) or dishonor, protest and notice of protest, diligence in collection and any and all formalities which otherwise might be legally required to charge Subsidiary Guarantors with liability, (iv) any failure by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to inform Subsidiary Guarantors of any facts the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may now or hereafter know about Borrower, the Facility, or the transactions contemplated by the Loan Agreement, it being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have no duty so to inform and that Subsidiary Guarantors are fully responsible for being and remaining informed by Borrower of all circumstances bearing on the existence or creation, or the risk of nonpayment of the Facility Indebtedness or the risk of nonperformance of the Obligations, (v) any and all right to cause a marshalling of assets of Borrower or any other action by any court or governmental body with respect thereto, or to cause the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to proceed against any other security given to a Lender in connection with the Facility Indebtedness or the Obligations, (vi) any invalidity or unenforceability of any portion of the Facility Indebtedness or any Loan Documents, and (vii) any amendment or waiver of the Facility Indebtedness, including without limitation any of the actions described in Paragraph 4 below. Credit may be granted or continued from time to time by the Lenders to Borrower without notice to or authorization from Subsidiary Guarantors, regardless of the financial or other condition of Borrower at the time of any such grant or continuation. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have no obligation to disclose or discuss with Subsidiary Guarantors the Lenders’ assessment of the financial condition of Borrower. Subsidiary Guarantors acknowledge that no representations of

E-3

any kind whatsoever have been made by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to Subsidiary Guarantors. No modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Guaranty shall be binding upon the Administrative Agent or the Lenders except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Subsidiary Guarantors further agree that any exculpatory language contained in the Loan Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents shall in no event apply to this Guaranty, and will not prevent the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from proceeding against Subsidiary Guarantors to enforce this Guaranty.

4. Subsidiary Guarantors further agree that Subsidiary Guarantors’ liability as guarantor shall in no way be impaired by any renewals or extensions which may be made from time to time, with or without the knowledge or consent of Subsidiary Guarantors of the time for payment of interest or principal under a Note or by any forbearance or delay in collecting interest or principal under a Note, or by any waiver by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Agreement, or any other Loan Documents, or by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders’ failure or election not to pursue any other remedies they may have against Borrower, or by any change or modification in a Note, the Loan Agreement, or any other Loan Documents, or by the acceptance by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of any security or any increase, substitution or change therein, or by the release by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of any security or any withdrawal thereof or decrease therein, or by the application of payments received from any source to the payment of any obligation other than the Facility Indebtedness, even though a Lender might lawfully have elected to apply such payments to any part or all of the Facility Indebtedness, or by any present or future law, regulation or order of any jurisdiction (whether of right or in fact) or of any agency thereof purporting to reduce, amend, restructure or otherwise affect any term of the Facility Indebtedness or Obligations or any Loan Document, or by any change in the corporate existence, structure, or ownership of Borrower, or by any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document, or by any other setoff, recoupment, defense or counterclaim whatsoever (in any case, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory) with respect to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, it being the intent hereof that Subsidiary Guarantors shall remain liable as principal for payment of the Facility Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations until all indebtedness has been paid in full and the other terms, covenants and conditions of the Loan Agreement, and other Loan Documents and this Guaranty have been performed, notwithstanding any act or thing which might otherwise operate as a legal or equitable discharge of a surety. Subsidiary Guarantors further understand and agree that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may at any time enter into agreements with Borrower to amend and modify a Note, the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any other documents related thereto, and may waive or release any provision or provisions of a Note, the Loan Agreement, or any other Loan Document and, with reference to such instruments, may make and enter into any such agreement or agreements as the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower may deem proper and desirable, without in any manner impairing this Guaranty or any of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders’ rights hereunder or any of Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations hereunder. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors agrees not to assert any claim against the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any of their respective Affiliates, or any of their or their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Facility, the actual or proposed use of the Loans, the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

E-4

5. This is an absolute, unconditional, complete, present and continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection. Subsidiary Guarantors agree that their obligations hereunder are joint and several as among them and shall be joint and several with any and all other guaranties given in connection with the Facility from time to time. Subsidiary Guarantors agree that this Guaranty may be enforced by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any security or collateral, if any, given in connection herewith or with a Note, the Loan Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents or by or resorting to any other guaranties, and Subsidiary Guarantors hereby waive the right to require the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to join Borrower in any action brought hereunder or to commence any action against or obtain any judgment against Borrower or to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. Subsidiary Guarantors further agree that nothing contained herein or otherwise shall prevent the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from pursuing concurrently or successively all rights and remedies available to them at law and/or in equity or under a Note, the Loan 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 any of Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations hereunder, it being the purpose and intent of Subsidiary Guarantors that the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder shall be primary, absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances whatsoever. Neither Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations under this Guaranty nor 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 a Note, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or by reason of Borrower’s bankruptcy or by reason of any creditor or bankruptcy proceeding instituted by or against Borrower. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective and be deemed to have continued in existence or be reinstated (as the case may be) if at any time payment of all or any part of any Facility Indebtedness or any sum payable pursuant to a Note, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document is rescinded or otherwise required to be returned by the payee upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of the payor, all as though such payment to such Lender had not been made, regardless of whether such Lender contested the order requiring the return of such payment. The obligations of Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to the preceding sentence shall survive any termination, cancellation, or release of this Guaranty.

6. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty of the payment of all Facility Indebtedness and performance of all Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all Facility Indebtedness and other amounts payable under this Guaranty and performance of all Obligations. This Guaranty shall be assignable by a Lender to any assignee of all or a portion of such Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents and by the Administrative Agent to any of its successors or assigns in such capacity.

7. If: (i) this Guaranty, a Note, or any of the Loan Documents are placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or is collected through any legal proceeding; (ii) an attorney is retained to represent the Administrative Agent or any Lender in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, or other proceedings affecting creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this

E-5

Guaranty, a Note, the Loan Agreement, or any Loan Document; (iii) an attorney is retained to enforce any of the other Loan Documents or to provide advice or other representation with respect to the Loan Documents in connection with an enforcement action or potential enforcement action; or (iv) an attorney is retained to represent the Administrative Agent or any Lender in any other legal proceedings whatsoever in connection with this Guaranty, a Note, the Loan Agreement, any of the Loan Documents, or any property subject thereto (other than any action or proceeding brought by any Lender or participant against the Administrative Agent alleging a breach by the Administrative Agent of its duties under the Loan Documents), then Subsidiary Guarantors shall pay to the Administrative Agent or such Lender upon demand all reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, court costs, filing fees and all other costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (all of which are referred to herein as “Enforcement Costs”), in addition to all other amounts due hereunder.

8. The parties hereto intend that each provision in this Guaranty comports with all applicable local, state 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 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 Administrative Agent and the Lender or the holder of a Note under the remainder of this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect.

9. Any indebtedness of Borrower to Subsidiary Guarantors now or hereafter existing is hereby subordinated to the Facility Indebtedness. Subsidiary Guarantors will not seek, accept, or retain for Subsidiary Guarantors’ own account, any payment from Borrower on account of such subordinated debt at any time when a Default exists under the Loan Agreement or the Loan Documents, and any such payments to Subsidiary Guarantors made while any Default then exists under the Loan Agreement or the Loan Documents on account of such subordinated debt shall be collected and received by Subsidiary Guarantors in trust for the Lenders and shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders on account of the Facility Indebtedness without impairing or releasing the obligations of Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder.

10. Subsidiary Guarantors hereby subordinate to the Facility Indebtedness any and all claims and rights, including, without limitation, subrogation rights, contribution rights, reimbursement rights and set-off rights, which Subsidiary Guarantors may have against Borrower arising from a payment made by Subsidiary Guarantors under this Guaranty and agree that, until the entire Facility Indebtedness is paid in full, not to assert or take advantage of any subrogation rights of Subsidiary Guarantors or the Lenders or any right of Subsidiary Guarantors or the Lenders to proceed against (i) Borrower for reimbursement, or (ii) any other guarantor or any collateral security or guaranty or right of offset held by the Lenders for the payment of the Facility Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations, nor shall Subsidiary Guarantors seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from Borrower or any other guarantor in

E-6

respect of payments made by Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder. It is expressly understood that the agreements of Subsidiary Guarantors set forth above constitute additional and cumulative benefits given to the Lenders for their security and as an inducement for their extension of credit to Borrower.

11. The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agree as among themselves that, if any Subsidiary Guarantor shall make an Excess Payment (as defined below), such Subsidiary Guarantor shall have a right of contribution from each other Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Subsidiary Guarantor’s Contribution Share (as defined below) of such Excess Payment. The payment obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under this paragraph shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Obligations until the entire Facility Indebtedness is paid in full, and none of the Subsidiary Guarantors shall exercise any right or remedy under this paragraph against any other Subsidiary Guarantor until the entire Facility Indebtedness is paid in full. Subject to the immediately preceding paragraph 10, this paragraph shall not be deemed to affect any claims or rights, including, without limitation, subrogation rights, contribution rights, reimbursement rights and set-off rights, that any Subsidiary Guarantor may have under applicable law against the Borrower in respect of any payment of the Facility Indebtedness or the Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all rights of contribution against any Subsidiary Guarantor shall terminate from and after such time, if ever, that such Subsidiary Guarantor shall cease to be a Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with Section 6.26 of the Loan Agreement. For purposes of this paragraph, the following terms have the indicated meanings:

(a) “Contribution Share” means, for any Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of any Excess Payment made by any other Subsidiary Guarantor, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) as of the date of such Excess Payment of (i) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all of its assets and properties exceeds the amount of all debts and liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder) to (ii) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all assets and other properties of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors other than the maker of such Excess Payment exceeds the amount of all of the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors) of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors other than the maker of such Excess Payment; provided, however, that, for purposes of calculating the Contribution Shares of the Subsidiary Guarantors in respect of any Excess Payment, any Subsidiary Guarantor that became a Subsidiary Guarantor subsequent to the date of any such Excess Payment shall be deemed to have been a Subsidiary Guarantor on the date of such Excess Payment and the financial information for such Subsidiary Guarantor as of the date such Subsidiary Guarantor became a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be utilized for such Subsidiary Guarantor in connection with such Excess Payment.

(b) “Excess Payment” means the amount paid by any Subsidiary Guarantor in excess of its Ratable Share (as defined below) of the Facility Indebtedness.

E-7

(c) “Ratable Share” means, for any Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of any payment of the Facility Indebtedness, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) as of the date of such payment of the Facility Indebtedness of (i) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all of its assets and properties exceeds the amount of all debts and liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder) to (ii) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all assets and other properties of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors exceeds the amount of all of the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder) of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors; provided, however, that, for purposes of calculating the Ratable Shares of the Subsidiary Guarantors in respect of any payment of the Facility Indebtedness, any Subsidiary Guarantor that became a Subsidiary Guarantor subsequent to the date of any such payment shall be deemed to have been a Subsidiary Guarantor on the date of such payment and the financial information for such Subsidiary Guarantor as of the date such Subsidiary Guarantor became a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be utilized for such Guarantor in connection with such payment.

12. Any amounts received by a Lender from any source on account of any indebtedness may be applied by such Lender toward the payment of such indebtedness, and in such order of application, as a Lender may from time to time elect.

13. Subsidiary Guarantors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to personal jurisdiction in the State of New York for the enforcement of this Guaranty and waive any and all personal rights to object to such jurisdiction for the purposes of litigation to enforce this Guaranty. Subsidiary Guarantors hereby consent to the jurisdiction of either the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County, Borough of Manhattan, and of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action, suit, or proceeding which the Administrative Agent or a Lender may at any time wish to file in connection with this Guaranty or any related matter. Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agree that an action, suit, or proceeding to enforce this Guaranty may be brought in any state or federal court in the State of New York and hereby waives any objection which Subsidiary Guarantors may have to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit, or proceeding in any such court; provided, however, that the provisions of this Paragraph shall not be deemed to preclude the Administrative Agent or a Lender from filing any such action, suit, or proceeding in any other appropriate forum. The Subsidiary Guarantors irrevocably consent to service of process in the manner provided for notices herein. Nothing in this Guaranty will affect the right of the Administrative Agent to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
